if the gov't ever pulled its layered 1,000-lot and 500-lot S&P bids for even 30 seconds we'd drop 100 points immediately

 

looks like they won't allow it

 

they're determined to carry on with the show

 

even as the real economy continues to crumble

 

a ticking time youknowwhat, millions of desperate broke and busted citizens with no hope and nothing left to lose

 

the gov't has miscalculated, they destroyed the middle claSS too quickly

 

when they miscalculate their spoozer manip they just throw a few 2,500-lot and 5,000-lot bids in to bring it back

 

but there will be no way way to bring back their glory days once the revolution begins

 

their best of times will turn to worst of times overnight, when they're forced to deal with J6P face to face in the streets, bloodied and beaten, held individually and personally responsible for their crimes against the maSSes

Diamonds Post-Lehman Have No Aura

 

Sept. 15 (Bloomberg) -- A wooden swing hangs from a motorcycle chain on a porch in western India where Vilas Khoyani rocks her 7-month-old son, born eight days after her husband committed suicide. How they ended up in this two-room house starts with an unsold bag of diamond jewelry in Phoenix.

 

Gadi Giladi was visiting stores in Arizona on Sept. 15, 2008, the day Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed for bankruptcy. The salesman was sent away by jewelers who stopped buying as they watched television news of the unfolding crisis that wiped out more than four years of diamond price gains.

 

What Giladi saw in Phoenix that day, diamond polisher Mahesh Khoyani wouldn’t feel for two months: an economic tsunami set off by Lehman’s collapse that drove down Christmas sales by more than 20 percent at U.S. jewelry counters, halved imports of uncut gems by traders in Antwerp, Belgium, who could no longer get credit, washed away the livelihoods of 400,000 diamond workers in India and shut mines in Botswana.

Dollar still v weak this morning despite those extreme sentiment readings.

 

Is this an artifact of a new carry trade or real concerns about dollar systemic risk?.

U.K. Unemployment Rises to Highest Since 1995

 

Sept. 16 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. unemployment jumped to the highest level since 1995 as the recession destroyed work in industries from banking to construction.

 

The number of people seeking jobs in the three months through July rose by 210,000 to 2.47 million, the Office for National Statistics said in London today. A separate measure showing claims for unemployment benefit climbed by 24,400 in August to 1.61 million. The median forecast of 28 economists in a Bloomberg News survey was for an increase of 25,000.
