-7 degrees C outside my Naughty Palace. It came down from Alaska and can damn well go back!

 

I'd rather have a Pineapple Express come in from Hawaii anytime.

 

Brrrrrrr! I hate below zero weather.

Shawinigan was 25 below C last night, but is warming up with 20 inches+ of snow expected between Tuesday and Saturday. I can't wait to get back.

I have just finished the Fed Report. Deposit flows into US banking system (apparently from EU) continue at shocking levels. There is NO WAY the markets can decline as long as this continues. Meanwhile, the Fed continues to quietly tap the brakes, without explanation or comment, as the money supply explodes. The Fed is transparent only about positive propaganda. Anything negative, it shuts up tight as a clam.

 

Will write exec sum and post in the morning.

 

Stay up to date with the machinations of the Fed, Treasury, Primary Dealers and foreign central banks in the US market, along with regular updates of the US housing market, in the Fed Report in the Professional Edition, Money Liquidity, and Real Estate Package. Try it risk free for 30 days. Don't miss another day. Get the research and analysis you need to understand these critical forces. Be prepared. Stay ahead of the herd.

An interesting number

 

I was by chance perusing Wells Fargo 10Q and came across some interesting numbers in the balance sheet

 

Like a $16 billion increase in "accrued expenses and other liabilities" over 9 months from 31 Dec 2010 to 30 Sept 2011 from $60 bill to $86 bill.

 

Thats a lot ...what is it?

 

Most of it $75 billion is incurred by a subsidiary according to a note on page 148.

 

Im sure an accounting expedition to this subsidiaries finances would be fascinating worthwhile and educational journey for any explorer accountants out there.

 

They wouldnt be accruing unpaid interest would they and not running it thru the P/L statement until say they foreclosed and sold the house???

 

Of course not!!!!! Perish the thought!!!!

 

If this expense rather than being capitalised as a liability on the balance sheet were instead run thru the P/L statement - at say $20 billion a year

 

Then Wells Fargo would be losing about $5 billion a year.

 

I am absolutely certain without a shadow of a doubt that there is some perfectly normal rational and acceptable explanation and all fears can be readily immediately and permanently laid to rest!!!

Just as I feared for bears, the EUR/USD correlation with markets was lost while the EUR was going down, but now it'll come back as the EUR goes up.

Probably because the EUR was going down as an effect of liquidity injections by the ECB and money flowing out of europe into US.
