Something occurred to me about 45 and the passport thing-and a little embarrassed I din't think of this right when it was going on but remember he went to Alaska for the rally 0709 and then spent the night-which was a bit different than his normal routine.

Had to go back to Mar-a-lago to get his passports so he could go to Abe's private service (and likely pick up real FLOTUS if she went but main reason was the passports) so what that sez is he already knew that raid was gonna habben as why wouldn't you keep those on your person?-so already well ahead of the DOJ using those as bait because he had already moved to Bedminster for the summer.

He went dark just prior to arriving in Palm Beach (last TS was aboard the AC en route to Palm Beach from Anchorage overnight) and we din't see anything from him on TS until the next Thursday-the Ivanka Trump announcement-was one before that I think you had said but on same day still.

Muh inventory carrying costs in full effect-discretionary spending falls off a cliff-in Target's case-WalMart's earnings 'beat' was becasue of it drastically lowering expectations in front of it's results..and Target's equity is down right around 3%..total pumpage right after the open and already well over daily avg volume-wise

Target profit crumbles as inflation-weary consumers shun discretionary spending

Target Corp reported a bigger-than-expected 90% fall in quarterly earnings on Wednesday and missed estimates for comparable sales as it struggled to lure inflation-hit shoppers with steep discounts on apparel, electronics and home goods.

A host of U.S. retailers have issued profit warnings in recent weeks as consumers squeezed by higher prices for everything from toothpaste to gas curtailed spending on non-essential items. As Target relies more on discretionary categories, it is prone to take a bigger hit during tougher times than its rivals such as Walmart Inc (WMT.N), where groceries and packaged food items get more shelf space.

Walmart beat profit estimates as its core base of low-to-middle income shoppers flocked to its stores for bargains on groceries. (that were severely lowered just as the qtr closed-or just after so when the bar is set so low you "beat")Minneapolis-based Target's operating margin rate tumbled to 1.2% in the second quarter from 9.8% a year earlier, due to costs related to clearing out excess merchandise (i.e. muh inventory) Shares of the big box retailer fell 3% in premarket trading. Still, Target reiterated it would return to an annual operating margin rate of about 6%. The company reported quarterly earnings of $183 million, or 39 cents per share, missing estimates of 72 cents. Despite heavy discounts, inventory rose 1.6% to $15.3 billion at the end of the quarter from the prior period.' The increase in inventory was due to the company expediting product shipments for the back-to-school and holiday shopping periods in a still "choppy" supply chain environment, Chief Executive Brian Cornell said.

"Target is now in a better position from a profitability standpoint but it is going to take some time to work through inventory, said John Tomlinson, global director of research at M Science. "The magnitude of the disconnect between inventory and sales growth is something I haven't seen in a really long time, maybe ever," he added.

MBA: Mortgage Applications Decrease in Latest Weekly Survey

Mortgage applications decreased 2.3 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending August 12, 2022.

... The Refinance Index decreased 5 percent from the previous week and was 82 percent lower than the same week one year ago. The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index decreased 1 percent from one week earlier. The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 2 percent compared with the previous week and was 18 percent lower than the same week one year ago.

“Mortgage application activity was lower last week, with overall applications declining over two percent to their lowest level since 2000. Home purchase applications continued to be held down by rapidly drying up demand, as high mortgage rates, challenging affordability, and a gloomier outlook of the economy kept buyers on the sidelines,” said Joel Kan, MBA’s Associate Vice President of Economic and Industry Forecasting. “However, if home price growth slows more significantly and mortgage rates move lower, we might see some purchase activity return later in the year. The 30-year fixed rate stayed more than two percentage points higher than a year ago at 5.45 percent but was down over 50 basis points from the June 2020 high of 5.98 percent, providing some relief for buyers in the market. The refinance index, however, fell five percent to its lowest level since November 2000, driven by a six percent drop in conventional refinance applications.”

The Convicted Criminals of JP Morgan

() additions to article

Much has already been written and said of the convictions last week of former JP Morgan head precious metals trader Michael Nowak and his associate Gregg Smith. However, before we move on from this story, there are a few things you need to consider. First of all, these convictions for market manipulation should come as no surprise to anyone who follows the precious metals. The major bullion banks have managed and manipulated prices for their own profit (and bonus pools) for decades. Perhaps the only real surprise is that these criminal traders finally got caught and were successfully prosecuted.

Left unsaid in the media coverage are two secondary items you must consider:

1. Up until the day of his indictment in 2019, Nowak was also on the board of directors for the LBMA. What's that old idiom about criminals and the company they keep?

2. Despite the verdicts, the same dupes and shills who have defended the bullion banks for years continue to spew their propaganda and support for the current pricing scheme. If anything, these convictions shed light on the character and motives of these "analysts". Henceforth, all precious metals investors should fully ignore their “analysis".

(like the Silver Users Association which spew the same tired garbage while predicting a shortage in this all the time, Jeffrey Christian's CPM Group-who is probably the biggest offender of fake data as it was he who spun out Commodities Research Group from Goldman, Sachs & Co and its commodities trading arm, J. Aron & Company into this (CPM Group that basically directs the US Gov't (and the Mint) on behalf of all the manipulators-when he says something think of it as directions directly from the DS as what to expect-another one is Rick Rule and a total manipulation denier because he doesn't believe that the amounts they do this in are possible so therefore doesn't habben, Bill "there is no cartel in metals trading" Fleckenstein-there are a few moar but you get the idea-see I will name them but many will not)

OK, that said, the only remaining thing I have to add is detailed below, and it deals with the corruption that is now prevalent in nearly all levels of government and the government agencies that are staffed with "regulators" who have been fully captured by the industries they are supposedly "regulating". The United States Department of Justice only began to investigate corruption in the precious metals markets in 2015. Prior to that, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission had initiated their own investigation in 2008. There was even a public hearing in 2010 where testimonies were given and evidence was presented. However, in September of 2013, the CFTC summarily closed their investigation and ruled that it could find "no viable basis to bring an enforcement action". See Cap #3

What's interesting are the dates. The CFTC's investigation ran from 2008-2013. The DoJ investigation, which led to the indictments and convictions of Nowak and Smith, covered the period from 2008-2016. So where the CFTC could find nothing, the DoJ was able to find actions consistent with price manipulation, commodities fraud, and wire fraud.

Ultimately, this should lead you to ponder the potential complicity of the "regulators" at the CFTC. Let's start with Gary Gensler. Until January 2014, Gensler was chairman of the CFTC, having been appointed to the role by President Obama in May of 2009. This places him at the head of the agency for nearly the entire period of the silver investigation. Gensler left the agency four months after the silver investigation closed and soon surfaced as the Finance Chairman for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Gensler was later rewarded for his stellar accomplishments when President Biden appointed him to head the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2021, a position he still holds today. But you must also consider David Meister. Who's he? Well, David Meister was the head of the Enforcement Division for the CFTC from his appointment in November of 2010 to his abrupt departure on October 1, 2013. October 1, 2013? Hmmm, that's interesting. What's the date of that CFTC press release linked above? The one where they announced the closure of their silver price manipulation investigation? September 25, 2013.

Well, that seems pretty handy. Perhaps ole Dave was so fed up with the CFTC's inaction regarding price manipulation that he left in disgust? Maybe. Perhaps he had simply served his purpose? How would we know? The next step in Meister's career after he left the CFTC might shed some light on the subject. Here's Meister's bio from the website of his current employer, the law firm Skadden and Affiliates in Washington, D.C. (available in the linked article) and the best part of it is....'''And now if we refer back to the criminal trial of Michael Nowak, who was it that acted as Nowak's chief counsel? None other than...drum roll, please...David Meister!-see cap#4

Ex-JPMorgan traders cleared of racketeering, found guilty of fraud

https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/two-former-jpmorgan-metals-traders-found-guilty-landmark-spoofing-case-2022-08-10/

And so just to rcap-this did NOT habben in the way they claim -it's all High-Frequency Algorithms and has had little to no human executuion for a very long time but they had to put names and faces to it-and they avoid the real criminals--and it's a long list but the main ones are: Jamie Dimon, Blythe Masters, William Daley, John Corzine, Gary Gensler, Alan Greenspan, Tim Geithener (basically the entire FRB system and COMEX personnel that has to do with commodity trading) Any member of the current and former CFTC chairs and Commissioners to start...and all the many different institutions that have held the decades old Silver legacy short position: Saloman Bros, Drexel Burham, Lambert, Merill Lynch, Bear Stearns, JP Morgan, Citigroup....it's a long list..literally hundreds of very high profile people)

So, did you get all of that? The former head of the CFTC, who could find no price manipulation and also failed to implement the position limit provisions of the Dodd-Frank law, gets rewarded with a promotion to head the much-larger and more-important SEC. And the former Enforcement Director of the CFTC leaves for a cushy D.C. law firm job where he ends up representing the same character he was supposedly investigating just a few years earlier. And it's not just in finance where the corruption is pervasive. How many lawyers have left the FDA to go work in Big Pharma? How many former investigators at the Department of Transportation now "consult" for the auto makers? In the end, this latest example in precious metals simply exposes another revolving door between government regulators and the industries they are supposed to regulate.

Bed Bath & Beyond Stock Plunges After Ryan Cohen Files to Unload Stake

Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., the struggling retailer turned meme-trader darling, skidded as much as 21% in postmarket trading after a top investor suggested he has soured on the stock.

Ryan Cohen’s RC Ventures said in a filing Tuesday with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that it might sell as much as 7.78 million shares of Bed Bath & Beyond, along with some call options. RC is the retailer’s second-largest holder after BlackRock Inc., according to data compiled by Bloomberg, with an 11.8% stake as of April 21. Bed Bath & Beyond has risen more than 400% from a late-July low as retail investors embraced it. The company has fared less well on the fundamental side of things lately, dismissing former Chief Executive Officer Mark Tritton in June after another downbeat quarterly report. Cohen had grown fed up with Tritton’s performance and pushed for his ouster, a person familiar with Cohen’s thinking said at the time, but continued to believe the company’s Buybuy Baby unit was a promising and undervalued asset. The filing suggests Cohen’s patience for a Bed Bath & Beyond turnaround is wearing still thinner.

RC Ventures and Bed Bath & Beyond didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Bed Bath & Beyond shares were down 16% to $19.45 in after-hours trading at 6:23 p.m. in New York...make that $18.85 -4.23 (-18.33%)

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/16/bed-bath-beyond-soars-70percent-as-meme-traders-bet-on-ryan-cohen.html

Citadel-the real winner here

The real issue there is Citadel amassing that big position-prior to that filing they had a small position of 39,920 shares and then ended up with 2.88% or 2,305,711 and since it only trades 28.32m a day (that is skewed upwards because of some bigger days earlier this year and yesterday-a few other big days but most days aren't even over 10m) that would be just under 10% of it's entire volume based on that avg trying to get out of it so it needed a big volume day

They din't buy it on one purchase (since it would have moved up quite a bit) but they had to know (since they are a market maker and can do literally anything they want since the SEC doesn't do shit) they shouldn't even be allowed to own individual equities but they can if they do not actually make markets in them-like that wouldn't be hard to get around.

The second biggest owner is getting rid of all of his shares-based on the 13-f filing and the Form 144 today now if they follow through-and guaranteed Citadel's position is already gone when it trades just under 10x it's avg today.

Here is the Sale filing by RC Ventures-cap #2-3

biggest problem.."i'm gonna get rich by tomorrow or next week"...that ruins many that mentality

Know what yer exit strategy is before you enter-be happy if it hits and not too mad if it turns-you stuck to your plan and move on-things don't always go yer way so I understand that.

It's habbened to me before until I learned to not get stuck but some times you simply can't help it-out of yer control but that one told you easily something was wrong.

Not being able to do same things as big bois can like clocking out of or initiating shorts after hours shouldn't be that way but for retail it is (although it's been a while I think it is still that way) many examples of what they get to do while us plebs can't.

Trudeau resumes summer political tour after Costa Rica holiday

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is resuming his summer politicking tour Thursday with a trip to Quebec’s Gaspe Peninsula. Trudeau is there to continue the summer meet and greets he started in July in other parts of Canada. His planned events include visits to a farm, wind farm and a train retrofitting plant in New Richmond. Trudeau’s last stop in the region came when he was in full pre-campaign mode just one month before he called a federal election. This visit comes as the provincial government is set to go into an election where the future of French is sure to play a big role. On Wednesday, new census data showed Gaspe to be the only region in the province where the share of people claiming French as their first language grew in the last five years.

RAF personnel chief 'unashamed' of 'pausing job offers for white men' to employ more women and ethnic minorities

The RAF's top personnel officer has confirmed she did ask her recruitment team to "stop filling up the training courses" with new recruits temporarily after diversity targets were not being hit.

The admission by Air Vice-Marshal Maria Byford came after Sky News reported on Tuesday that the head of RAF recruitment had resigned in protest at what defence sources described as an "effective pause" on making job offers to white men in favour of women and ethnic minorities.

An RAF spokesperson at the time denied that there had been any pause in recruitment. Speaking to The Times, Air Vice-Marshal Byford - one of the most senior female officers in the air force - said she was "unashamed" of a policy that could mean women and ethnic minorities are in effect being prioritised for roles over white men.

The Chief of Staff Personnel - who is the boss of the female Group Captain who quit in apparent protest at what the recruitment team was being asked to do - said in the interview she had "slowed" down the recruitment process for all candidates ahead of a meeting of the RAF board next month.

The board would consider ways to use "positive action" legally so recruits could potentially be selected on merit, their gender or ethnicity if they passed the basic requirements to join the service, Air Vice-Marshal Byford said.

Candidates are at present put forward for training as soon as they meet the requirements in a "first past the post" system, rather than based on how well they did at certain stages of the selection process. "And if I can include more women and more people from different backgrounds in that, I think I have a better service in the long run. We are unashamed about doing that because I think that's a good thing," the senior officer was quoted as saying.

NAR: Existing-Home Sales Decreased to 4.81 million SAAR in July

Existing-home sales sagged for the sixth straight month in July, according to the National Association of REALTORS®. All four major U.S. regions recorded month-over-month and year-over-year sales declines.

Total existing-home sales, completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, slipped 5.9% from June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.81 million in July. Year-over-year, sales fell 20.2% (6.03 million in July 2021).

...

Total housing inventory registered at the end of July was 1,310,000 units, an increase of 4.8% from June and unchanged from the previous year. Unsold inventory sits at a 3.3-month supply at the current sales pace, up from 2.9 months in June and 2.6 months in July 2021. Sales in July (4.81 million SAAR) were down 5.9% from the previous month and were 20.2% below the July 2021 sales rate.

Cap #2 shows nationwide inventory for existing homes. According to the NAR, inventory increased to 1.31 million in July from 1.25 million in June.

Headline inventory is not seasonally adjusted, and inventory usually decreases to the seasonal lows in December and January, and peaks in mid-to-late summer. Cap#3 shows the year-over-year (YoY) change in reported existing home inventory and months-of-supply. Since inventory is not seasonally adjusted, it really helps to look at the YoY change. Note: Months-of-supply is based on the seasonally adjusted sales and not seasonally adjusted inventory. Inventory was unchanged year-over-year (blue) in July compared to July 2021.

Months of supply (red) increased to 3.3 months in July from 2.9 months in June. This was below the consensus forecast.

Mortgage rates tick down as volatility persists

The average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dipped to 5.13%. The average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dipped slightly this week as volatility continues in the cooling U.S. housing market.

Freddie Mac's latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey released Thursday shows the average rate for the popular 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is now at 5.13%, down from 5.22% from last week but well above the 2.86% average a year ago. The average for a 15-year fixed-rate note also fell, dropping to 4.55% from 4.59%. A year ago, the 15-year rate averaged 2.16%.

(aaaaand the facepalm quote) "Inflation appears to be beyond its peak, which has stopped the rapid increase in mortgage rates that the housing market was experiencing earlier this year," said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. (no it couldn't be the almost $1B daily purchases of MBS that is dropping those rates..nope CAN'T be THAT)

"The market continues to absorb the cumulative impact of the large price and rate increases that led to a plunge in affordability," Khater continued. "As a result, over the rest of the year purchase demand likely will continue to drag, supply will modestly increase, and home price growth will decelerate." (well they have that part right but totally out to lunch as to why the rates drop ) A slew of recent economic data shows the housing sector is slowing down after two years of pandemic-fueled demand as the Federal Reserve hikes interest rates to combat soaring inflation. Recession fears are also weighing on would-be buyers who are increasingly rattled by sky-high home prices and the squeeze on their wallets from inflation. Home sale cancellations soared to a 2-year high last month.

Dollar hits 1-month high as Fed officials talk up rate hikes

The U.S. dollar climbed to a fresh one-month high against a basket of major peers on Friday as Federal Reserve policymakers continued to talk up the need for further interest rate hikes ahead of their key Jackson Hole symposium next week. The dollar index rose 0.121% to 107.620, after earlier touching 107.68, its highest since July 18. The gauge is on track for a 1.89% rally this week, which would be its best weekly performance since June 12.

The greenback rose to 136.38 yen for the first time since July 28, while the euro dipped to $1.00735, the weakest since July 15. Sterling sank to $1.1905, its weakest since July 21.

St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said he is leaning toward supporting a third straight 75-basis-point interest rate hike in September, while San Francisco Fed colleague Mary Daly said hiking rates by 50 or 75 basis points next month would be "reasonable." Kansas City Fed President Esther George said she and her colleagues will not stop tightening policy until they are "completely convinced" that overheated inflation is coming down. (which you all will say shortly after Ept 13th CPI# with theh back-to-back drop but still record high inflation-wholes gasoline was up over 3% today too and Natty Gas was briefly at a 14y high as well)

The dollar is "smartly higher" with central bank officials "all making clear the Fed still has work to do raising rates," even as they differed on by how much, Ray Attrill, the head of currency strategy at National Australia Bank in Sydney, wrote in a client note. "It's hard to pin European currency weakness on specific news, albeit the case for more weakness on relative (global) economic grounds has been blindingly obvious for weeks." The euro is on course to decline 1.71% since last Friday, which would be its worst week since July 8. Sterling is set for a 1.80% drop, its biggest weekly tumble since May 6. (and getting help at the almost at par (1:1) with our $ from the printing press at the NYFRB >>146403 and a small one with the BOJ-which if they lose control of the 10 year note will likely pick up as they are still doing the Reverse Repos at well over $2T a day using the Yen as the cannon-fodder) https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/data-hub

European currencies failed to get a lift from renewed inflation fears putting pressure regional central banks to keep tightening policy, instead worrying about risks of recession. European Central Bank board member Isabel Schnabel fueled inflation worries overnight by saying consumer prices could still accelerate in the short term. British price growth hit double digits on Wednesday. Meanwhile, despite the Fed chorus on the need for higher rates, the odds of another supersized 75 basis point hike next month have receded to 40% in money markets-see cap #2

However, consumer price inflation and jobs data for August, due before the Fed's September meeting, will likely affect the scale of tightening-(as in won't be doing it at all and them could possibry lower them at the meeting after and that occurs the week before the election since they have already heavily politicized the Strategic Petroleum Releases because those end a few days (business days) prior to the midterm elections)

Fed Chair Jerome Powell will have a chance to update the market on his views at the annual Jackson Hole symposium on Aug. 25-27.

Japan's inflation holds above BOJ target, price pressures broaden

-July core CPI up 2.4% yr/yr, above BOJ target for fourth month

-Excluding sales tax effects, CPI gain fastest since Dec 2014

-Index excluding energy also perks up as price pressure broadens

While inflation exceeded its 2% target for four straight months, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is likely to remain an outlier in keeping monetary conditions ultra-loose with price rises still modest compared with other major economies. The core consumer price index (CPI), which excludes fresh food prices, rose 2.4% in July from a year earlier, matching a median market forecast, government data showed on Friday.

That followed a 2.2% gain in June and marked the fastest pace since December 2014, excluding sales tax hike effects. Policymakers are clinging to hope that big manufacturers, which benefited from solid global demand and the profit-boost from a weak yen, will lead the way in boosting wages to help cushion the blow to households from rising living costs.

BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda has stressed that the central bank will not see an exit from its massive stimulus programme until consumer demand picks up.
