After work crowd are probably going to vote more for Bush. Too close to call....

Might've happened if they hadn't all lost their jobs under Bush. Not that I blame Bush and I'm sure after this election not even Laura will want to be under Bush.

 

It would be very interesting to know just how many precincts using Diebold Liemaster 5000's give the nod to Bush and if any register positive to Kerry.

NIGERIAN OIL SHUT-OFF PENDING?

 

From the Financial Times (UK).

 

Nigeria exports 2.5 million b/d.

 

Nigeria is wracked by civil strife.

 

An association of Nigerian trade unions, and Nigerian NGOs, have decided to make their voices more clearly heard by shutting off crude oil exports.

From Reuters:

 

"Saboteurs have mounted the biggest attacks yet on Iraq's oil infrastructure, blowing up three pipelines in the north and hitting exports via Turkey..."

 

This is reportedly curtailing exports to Turkey by ~160 thousand bbl/day.

ple: May I ask where in Mexico? Are you near the Ocean? What is the cost of living? Thanks.

-Soup.

 

Central M?xico. 3 hours away from the pacific. I would say you can have the same standard of living as in the US with about 1/3; 1/4 the cash.

 

The suspense is killing me... i?ll go take another walk.

If Kerry wins the Market will sink without a bubble...Kerry has said he would make some changes to the current capital gains tax and Da Boyz will sell to avoid the "wash Rule." if the smirking Chimp doesn't pull it off it will look like Custers last stand in the morning. Zogby is apparently forecasting a Kerry win and Zogby has by far been the most accurate in the campaign..Do I feel good-Oh Ya Baby Ya!

The Fed took away $6 in repos, and like I mentioned more than two weeks ago, they will be a little tighter in monetary policy from early November until the date of the rate increase announcement.

 

Also today, they also bought $1.2 billion in TIPS.  This continues what seems to be a trend by the Fed of monetizing new bonds just before or after they are issued.  Here we can directly see how the federal budget deficit is an important reason why the Fed must keep expanding the monetary base, and indirectly the money supply.

 

The stock market, if it advances from here, will be fighting a temporary tightening by the Fed and a stagnant money supply.

HB....or any stoolie....

 

I smell a rat on yields to FCBs and to themselves.

 

Any info?

FCBs seem to do a disproportionately high % of their buying at auctions. One could say without them those auctions woould not go off as well. Compared to the FCBs, what the Fed does like moentizing new bonds today is small potatoes.
