The Market Ticker

As expected, we're now seeing the "results" of QE2 - and they're not encouraging. We're also seeing the pushback. Heh, better late than never, right? Maybe. This assumes that someone stops this idiocy before a significant percentage of the population finds itself hungry and homeless - or worse. We'll also cover the latest "Security Theater" garbage from the TSA. It's time to "Just Say No" to this sort of crap. I've dubbed them "The Sexual Assault" and on the show you'll find out why - and what you can do (legally) about it.

So now "QE2" is real. Or is it? We're going to spend the hour talking about the impact on you - and just as important, why he did it. It's not what you were told.

You've all done it. You're presented two bad candidates. Nowhere is it worse in my memory than here in Florida, where we have two running for governor that deserve to be jail, not campaigning. We'll cover the election tomorrow and what it will mean for the capital markets.

You know it's coming, so get ready. Today: Dollar down 0.5%, Corn up 1.9%, Wheat up 1.2%, Oats up 4.5%, Soy up 1.5%. Bernanke has now been proved a liar in regard to his 2006 statements, and yet he continues to dissemble - while the banking system strips Americans to the bone. Vote next week? For whom? Have you heard any candidate or politician promise to put a stop to this crap, or recover the money stolen from Americans by the banks? Nope. So gimme a stick - I don't want to bite my tongue.

A special half-hour with Reggie Middleton of Boombustblog and Tickerguy going over Foreclosuregate and all the related issues.

Governor Johnson and "Our America Initiative" will be with us all hour to discuss the entirety of the platform - with a special focus on financial fraud and the mess that the Banksters have gotten us into. Expect a hard-hitting interview and an hour of enlightenment - come join us and ask your questions!

The ultimate expression when you're done - "Fuggit." Destruction of title chains, rampant fraud in the capital markets, high-frequency trading and wanton and intentional destruction of the purchasing power of seniors and others on fixed income. It all sucks - and it's all happening, right here, right now, today in America. We'll discuss.

Continuing coverage of the foreclosure mess, including current acts by our government and yes, Barack Obama's administration to obstruct you finding out about fraud upon the court. This one, Mr. President, isn't Bush's fault.

Intentional document destruction, false pleadings, fraudulent affidavits, intentional failure to comply with investor disclosures and "feed the shredder" parties out behind the warehouse. All of this is a massive fraud upon the public, upon investors, and upon governments. It is intentional, it is pervasive, it is unlawful and it has the effect of destabilizing our government, our nation and our people. If this doesn't describe terrorism, what does? We'll explore.

It's a valid question, you know. And one that we really ought to ask. Health Care was of course a big part of it, but so is the dismissal of Santelli's question this afternoon by our President, along with a new proposal out of the UK. Then there's the insanity from corporate America that is taking debt to buy back stock - and this is trumpeted as "good". We'll do as much you can stand this afternoon....

With elections in just a few weeks it is now officially "Silly Season", where politicians will fall over themselves to divide the electorate and score points - and votes, while doing nothing of value. We'll take a look at your wallet and what's coming for it, along with the likely outcome of the elections and policy changes that you can expect to see, including the most-likely outcomes on a number of tax and spending issues that will have a direct impact on you.

Politics would be nice to ignore when it comes to markets, but you can't. Unfortunately, for better or worse, politics impact markets, sometimes dramatically. We'll look forward toward November, and try to prognosticate on what we will see - and add a dollop of what we SHOULD see (but probably won't.)

On Hindenburg Omens, market structure, the shills all over the mainstream media, real estate and much more.

How long will we respond to Madison Avenue's crack pipe? Never mind Mr. Jones. Is it time to put both out of their misery and focus on productive pursuits? We'll explore what the market is telling us, what the data is telling us, and what you should be telling Madison Avenue - and the so-called "professionals" in the mainstream media.

Oh wait... maybe not. An amusing article on Bloomberg this morning highlights the insanity that is our financial system, and the peril facing our nation. How did we ever get to the point where a grinning bankster pronounces the truth and then is allowed to further plunder our nation? Is there any recovery possible in this totally-screwed-up morass of corruption and skimming? We'll see if we can find a path out of the wilderness... and what it might take to walk it.
