I don’t know if this is real, supposedly the recording of a MarketMaker in the Futures pit (think it is the SP Futures) – opening admitting it is PPT via JPM pushing up the bid by 10 handles at a time! guy even says “JPM coming in” Posting from Twitter:

At first it sounds like a car/art auction then when price get around 90 down, panic sets in and you can hear it in his voice. Floor traders screeming in the background – no counter offers.

PM Papandreou said Greece should go to IMF because he couldn’t find cheap loans. I ‘ve just found this: http://dosepasa.wordpress.com/2010/05/06/%CE%BF%CE%B9-%CE%B1%CF%80%CE%BF%CE%B4%CE%B5%CE%AF%CE%BE%CE%B5%CE%B9%CF%82-%CE%B5%CE%BD%CF%8C%CF%82-%CF%80%CF%81%CE%BF%CE%B4%CE%B9%CE%B1%CE%B3%CE%B5%CE%B3%CF%81%CE%B1%CE%BC%CE%BC%CE%AD%CE%BD%CE%BF/.
Can anyone tell if it’s valid?
You mentioned wankers?
http://www.youtube.com/user/FranTxis#p/c/5D374BAE7D7A6C46/71/WRK2J0ymZGc
Can anyone understand if this is valid?
http://dosepasa.wordpress.com/2010/05/06/οι-αποδείξεις-ενός-προδιαγεγραμμένο/
Because Greek PM Papandreou was telling the Greek people that he’s asking for money from IMF because he can’t find cheap loans from anywhere else.
what’s the bet that the world leaders will come up with a financial plan on Monday which ‘helps’ Greece, and just also happens to involve world government and a world currency…….Sarkozy has already hinted at it.
Well, I suppose we all wanted change…

http://www.mercurynews.com/re-golf/ci_15022019San Diego sues over employee pension paymentsThe Associated PressPosted: 05/05/2010 06:48:23 AM PDTUpdated: 05/05/2010 06:48:23 AM PDT
SAN DIEGO—San Diego is suing to force its employees to pay more into their pension fund to make up for $80 million in investment losses.
The suit was filed Monday in Superior Court against the San Diego City Employees Retirement System, which is funded by both city and employee contributions.
The suit asks a judge to order the system to increase worker contributions. City Attorney Jan Goldsmith argues that under the city charter, workers must split the cost of making up the investment losses.
Labor leaders fear about 9,000 union workers would be charged an extra $4,000 each.
A ruling is expected before the city makes its annual pension payment on July 1.
I read this somewhere, very good! lol
So can we monitor when the Treasury has large upcoming redemptions? Should be a good indicator to short the equity markets.
RIGHT ON! TRUTH ABOUT MARKETS IS BACK! Oh man, I was waiting and waiting and waiting, and FINALLY it’s back. I know you guys (Max and Stacy) are quite busy, but Truth About Markets is my all time favorite radio show/podcast, and just in general my favorite show, period. Its where Max becomes his Mad Economist (my spin on the “Mad Scientist” alter ego) alter ego. Not only informative, but also very entertaining and quite hilarious. Like when Max gets all riled up and Stacy has to calm him down, oh so funny and so great. Or when Max sings, or goes off on an epic soliloquy, so great I love it all, and I love you guys, you’re the best, keep it up!
the market has already discounted what is know
yeah!
Thank god Stacy….you had me worried…..ahhhh…..now for my Saturday TAM fix……while I eat lunch.
You are the best.

Donald Rumsfeld:
“Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don’t know we don’t know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.”

@maxstax:
The problematic is that the new reserve system (sdr being what was defined by the G20 as the most probable index/unit) will introduce a new means of defining exchange rate which will make the dollar value index trade mechanism (weighted basket, forex trade) obsolete. The commodity you term the standard (defined or undefined) gold will lose its value within the context of exchange-rate driven pricing.
It is an act of verbal conjure to expect gold to retain any means of standard within the new system of standards. Indeed, the very act of initiating dialogue concerning the sdr reserve/multilateral exchange rate system is an act in defiance of gold value/standard.
To indicate otherwise is to court the jester for the amusement and edification of the elite and the defilement of the common man.
And Stacy: Osama Bin Laden has as much to do with 911 as Santa Claus has to do with Christmas. Even Dana Perino indicated he was not behind 911.
Financial terrorism is not indicated by the unregulated access to capital but by the character of those men to whom capital is deigned. The new system is just as corrupt as the old system; and those who will decide to whom to deign access to liquidity are the worst of the criminals.

Lindsey Williams: What The Illuminati Elite Plan For 2010 and 2011! http://socioecohistory.wordpress.com/2010/02/05/lindsey-williams-what-the-illuminati-elite-plan-for-2010-and-2011/
“How do we know the asset-pricing model is applicable? Are there other ways to test fundamental-based exchange rate models if beating the random walk in forecasting exchange rates is too harsh? While the asset-pricing approach doesn’t allow us to predict short-term exchange rates, it does lead to an interesting implication. If the exchange rate is determined by expected future fundamentals, today’s currency values should contain information about tomorrow’s fundamentals…
Several recent studies support interpreting exchange rates as prices of long-lasting financial assets. The asset-pricing approach shows promise, even though empirical work hasn’t yet fully solved the exchange rate disconnect puzzle Meese and Rogoff introduced more than a quarter century ago. Other factors such as parameter instability and misspecification (for instance, Rossi 2005) may also play important roles in understanding the puzzle.”

@SDRs
If gold wasn’t a store of value, why then can they leverage it 100X in the bullion markets without risk, and not anything else? That no other financial instrument has a risk free backbone like this? Leasing bullion out 100X over, selling these leases for years into the markets, and yet bullion still stages a 10-year rally?
How many times will they be able to leverage an SDR? 10X? I hear 10X is the rule of thumb for financial instruments like derivatives, but due to competition, they’ll likely leverage 22X, which causes a financial collapse, once interest rates move against you, as in declining. They’re going to leverage up SDRs with derivatives after they’re issued and hold the credit default swaps on them? Which government will then redeem them? And how? With their already highly leveraged currencies in decline?
Lehman was 40X and considered utterly corrupt. And when they print SDRs like they’re going out of style, that pay no interest, or devalue them to escape financial collapse, what then? An SDR crisis?
So when the SDRs collapse in short order because they are paper promises with no interest coupon, and they represent another tier of debt on debt-ridden economies, who in their right mind will sign on to so visibly insane a plan?
imo, coming interest rate declines will nip SDRs in the bud, because they have no hope of controlling interest rates as vending bullion leases into the market was supposed to control the decline of interest rates in the first place.
SDRs are a straw man.

FranSix:
Gata has been maintaining that gold is leveraged through the financial etf markets (derivative trades). Shall we say that the price of gold is being leveraged or the value of gold. Or you indicating that gold value is not a correlate of its price?
Faith won’t buy bread. Unless the Messiah comes again.
So when the SDRs collapse in short order because they are paper promises with no interest coupon, and they represent another tier of debt on debt-ridden economies, who in their right mind will sign on to so visibly insane a plan?
When Straus-Kahn promised the world a new reserve asset (like the sdr, but not like the sdr) he was indicating that currencies will not be the loan representative within the sdr-value indexed basket. Zhou maintains that GDP should be included. GDP is being redefined by Stiglitz for Sarkozy.
They are proceeding in an orderly fashion: no one is hiding the outcome-based agenda.
@SDRs = sheer, utter rotten nonsense – An obligato to a crooked financial system in decline, a last gasp effort.
There is no messiah in SDRs, they are either a straw man, or a trojan horse for the commercial banking sector to protect its interests, to the detriment of sovereign bond markets around the world. They seek to prevent declines in interest rates on sovereigns, because this makes corporate lending impossible.
SDRs represent a last gasp effort to save a creaking, failing ship in the commercial banking sector as if it were a three penny opera.
Gold, when refined and struck, can last thousands of years and never burn, tarnish, or change due to its sub-atomic structure. This is a scientific fact.
If I were a banker or central banker, I would be stockpiling on gold so that it represents at least 5% of my asset balance, or as Dr. Faber puts it, 15% of your money should be in gold bullion in case the entire financial system collapses, so that your gold value will make up entirely for your losses. In effect, he’s saying gold will price in 6 – 7 times higher.
No SDR will ever hold its value in the face of interest rate declines, because credit default swaps written against them will rise in rates.
SDR are sheer utter garbage, rotten nonsense. AND YOU POST THIS CRAP DAILY TO THIS WEBSITE.
One could say there are currently two systems operating within indexed trade: the dollar system and the sdr system. The sdr system is a liquid market within the context of the monetary authorities and privileged development banks.
Why do we assume that the sdr system is dependent on the dollar/currency system for life-force? It is not even apparent from the IMF site how the sdr is valued within the context of the G20 monetary sdr system:
“The value of the SDR was initially defined as equivalent to 0.888671 grams of fine gold—which, at the time, was also equivalent to one U.S. dollar. After the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1973, however, the SDR was redefined as a basket of currencies, today consisting of the euro, Japanese yen, pound sterling, and U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar-value of the SDR is posted daily on the IMF’s website. It is calculated as the sum of specific amounts of the four currencies valued in U.S. dollars, on the basis of exchange rates quoted at noon each day in the London market.”
http://www.imf.org/external/np/exr/facts/sdr.htm
The US dollar value of the sdr in only relevant within the context of the dollar/value exchange system. What is the new relevance within the context of global trade of the sdr? Within the new multilateral exchange rate system?
Is the sdr beast system already operating independent of the dollar?
Are we only being denied our ‘toys’?
Dr. Faber
Strange the trust given to the man. Do you know him personally, FranSix?
credit default swaps written against them will rise in rates
This is the stupidest thing I’ve read in a good long while.
Blankfiend is doing “Gods work.” everybody does gods work. all the creapy crawlers are engaged in the work that god wants done.
We too, are in the mix.
God has plans, and [he/she] will need… (contractors… /s) to perform it.
God will kill the whole planet when the time comes, so don’t worry too much if it seems that… God needs to do a little “house cleaning,” and that may include, like you do with the little critters, that start to get way too multiferous. like any of the little insects, that we routinely, ( ! ) dust.
Insects of the veld unite! be ready to get dusted. There was a way that it may have worked, but it seems not to have gone right, IE: the waste of the energy component, ( massive hydrocarbon deposits, ) that was gods gift, that was for the purpose to do the real work, not to make every shit head the equivelent of a magic carpet jockey, vise vise what the automobile really fundementally is.
Thank you so much for more TAM!

Great show!
Thanks for explanation re the markets and the occurances last week Max.
Good name for the show
The value of the sdr is not dependent on the fiat/dollar exchange system because the sdr inherent (real) value is only represented within the context of privileged access and trade conducted through the G20 system of sovereign/development banks.
The tail to be ‘cut off’ (as El-Erian indicated) is the exchange rate system of dollar/value indexed currency trade. It is now superfluous to the function of the reserve system.

RE: Your S&P Futures Theory
1. How much would it have cost the attacker in dollar terms to generate that move?

RE: Goldman Sachs Insider Trading
1. Is it true that it’s not considered insider trading for Goldman to 1) hide Greece debts in financial instruments and have sole access to this information of debt being exposed at a future point and 2) take a proprietary trade against Greece’s bonds or otherwise trade on that knowledge?
2. If so, is there any legislative effort to make insider trading rules cover these various derivative trades?

Sorry to keep pumping my agenda here, but Thursday was REAL – here are the opinions of a few traders.
http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=198126
Another opinion I read which was fascinating and probably correct: given that experienced traders know, especially after last week, that lowball bids will just get busted, they’re going to STEP ASIDE and NOT BUY if there’s a crash! Think about how poisonous that makes market intervention.
Of course, most likely they will just implement limit up/limit down on individual stocks. Anyone who’s seen how that works out on commodity futures knows that it won’t be pretty if we have a full blown crash. It often leaves people “holding the bag” for days at a time. That’s the kind of thing that can leave you without a brokerage account on Monday, without a car on Tuesday and without a house on Wednesday.

@snoot – not sure why you think any algorithm or engineered exchange rate system would alter the perceived or the intrinsic value of gold; any attempt to fix the rate of gold to any sort of construct would surely just obliterate that fixed rate as it has done dozens of times in the past; and yes, the value of gold rather than the gold itself is being leveraged through the etf market, there is no gold that can exchanged for that holding so when they blow there is nothing at the end of that contract, it will just be evaporated wealth; but this is the same thing across many many sectors of markets, as we saw with AIG whose triple a rating was leveraged and as the US triple a rating is being leveraged to even more extreme levels beyond what can be sustained, many usually lose their shirt in such a situation; and, finally, @snoot – you say ‘faith won’t buy bread’ (which I take to mean that gold won’t buy bread); so I’d like to know what you are planning to use to buy yourself bread when paper currencies collapse . . .

@Stacy:
The first rule of survival is that there are no rules.
@snoot – not sure why you think any algorithm or engineered exchange rate system would alter the perceived or the intrinsic value of gold
The intrinsic value of gold is a matter of subjective imagination. As far as the ‘engineered exchange rate’, it would most likely be true that the exchange rate has been engineered for quite some time, if not always. The difference is the access to liquidity, which is what I’ve been going on an on about.
The ability of the monetary authorities to control capital flows (they are already ‘doing it’ in the SBA (stand-by-agreement) countries, and to define the qualities of a ‘liquid asset’ are really the precursors of an end-game which, unfortunately, will be conducted for the profit of the criminal siphoning profit of our ‘G20 global governance’.
If we cheer the regulatory agency proceeding with this tyranny and scapegoat ‘speculators’ then surely we are only cheering the future castrated state of the global citizen within the context of a hegemonic world order which will be truly HEARTLESS.

Isn’t it true that Iceland is currently under an IMF Stand-by-Agreement? How can you declare Iceland the future of freedom when they have been stripped of their national sovereign decision?

What freedom?
NYSE, a horse race for mechanical horses…
I’ve missed TAM but now it’s back I just feel a bit depressed.
Can I suggest a item called “Pastry of the week” where Stacey tells us about lovely delicacies from the Patiseries. That would really cheer me up. And I miss the cafe and the clattering in the background! What happened to that?
Love youse.
“Stacey’s Pastry” is a better name for your new item in the show. I’m looking forward to it.
I’ve listened to this market crash audio several times, it sounds literally like a nuclear reaction. To me it’s not surprising the scale of the drop but the way it went right back up. I think most people assume that it was just a blip and they canceled the “bad trades” making the market go back up. This audio sounds like JPM etc got to buy s&p futures at a discount.
great program!
good news! on Iceland – especially arrest of Iceland banksters
the sound track from floor of the “flash crash” seems totally contrived
the whole episode seems contrived
is it just another diversion from other ongoing massive crimes – hmm?
only as an example – maybe related, maybe not, but usual suspects -are once again – involved
no joke

“The Greek Tragedy”—Old story, (same “threats”), told in a new way.
Today:… British/ EU/ IMF Empire to Greece “You must buy… something… war planes–or ELSE”.
150 years earlier:,,, Brithish Empire to China “You must buy…something…opium–or ELSE”.
Many thanks for what has turned out a week on to be the only beleavable coverage of this event…
