LEATHERFACEs&pTN

By John Galt November 29, 2011 – 17:20 ET All but 7 of the Primary Dealers from the NY Federal Reserve list were downgraded today. Gee, maybe holding AAA crap paper from the U.S. Government isn’t enough to insulate the banksters from even more hurt. Or maybe all parties involved just need to print more money, more bonds, more equities, and call it the largest crap issue in history. All banks in bold and italicized were downgraded today.

romeburning

By John Galt November 29, 2011 – 05:25 ET This is just nasty. Brutal. Horrid. The auction for the 2022 bonds came in with at 7.56% yield and the 2014 auction at 7.89%, both of which are Euro era highs since Italy joined the Union.

France and Germany still hate each other. Poland has offered to surrender to Germany again this morning. And the United States is being led by cartoon characters. This means the S&P 500 should make another run at 1194, then 1200, and finally 1220 before capitulating once again due to…
