UK In "Full Panic Mode", Rains
Brimstone, Bribes On Scotland As
"Yes" To Independence Poll Crosses
50%
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2014 - 09:59
All pundits who over the past few months
have been saying the possibility of Scottish
independence as a result of the September
18 ballot, is at best a pipe dream got a rude
wake up call overnight, when Scottish
YouGov poll for the Sunday Times put the
"Yes" (for independence campaign) on top for the first time
since polling began, with No below the majority cutoff line for
the first time, at 49, when undecided voters are excluded, and
even when including undecideds "Yes" is still ahead by two
points at 47-45. As the Spectator reports, "in the space of four
weeks, "No" has blown a 22-point lead."

De-Dollarization Continues: China-
Argentina Agree Currency Swap, Will
Trade In Yuan
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2014 - 17:58
It appears there is another nation on
planet Earth that is becoming isolated.
One by one, Russia and China appear to be
finding allies willing to 'de-dollarize'; and the
latest to join this trend is serial-defaulter
Argentina. As Reuters reports, China and
Argentina's central banks have agreed a multi-billion dollar
currency swap operation "to bolster Argentina's foreign
reserves" or "pay for Chinese imports with Yuan," as

What Happens When Its Easier To Pay
No Wages Rather Than A Minimum
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2014 - 17:24
Today the entry-level position has morphed
into something far different when you talk
to anyone who's never owned or run a
business. It's no longer thought of as
"entry-level," as - faced with a
government-mandated 50% minimum wage pay rise in some
cases - businesses may decide their choice is to either leave
or eliminate the need for - those positions all together? And the
technology, along with the acceptance of it, might be farther
along the development curve than many believe to foster such
dramatic changes.

British Pound Collapses To 10-Month
Lows
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2014 - 17:01
We warned here that the "Yes" vote for
Scottish Independence was a "high risk"
event, and as we noted earlier, with polls
indicating its a high probability and 'English' leadership in full
panic mode, it is perhaps not surprising that the British Pound
opened down 160pips at 10-month lows... (a 500 pip drop
in 3 days)... But, didn't the clever people on TV tell us 'it was
priced in'?

Stunning Video Of Iceland's Massive
Lava-Fountain Lake
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2014 - 16:39
While Iceland's serene landscape may be
the perfect analogy for world markets
currently, the eruption of its Bardarbunga
volcano shows what fierce reality lies
just beneath the surface. Capitalism and free markets will
always find away though, and as RT reports, one travel
company is cashing in on the incredible awe-inspiring images by
offering tours over the volcano at a height of around 150
meters. As the following stunning clip shows, at $920, it may
well be the trip of a lifetime...

The Simple Truth About QE
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2014 - 16:04
Theres not a single day that were not
treated to more smart treats about stimulus
measures. Are they necessary, are they

It gets really long in the tooth. Today,
former ECB head Trichet says unlimited
stimulus risks blowing bubbles. Supplying

The Breaching Of American's Data
Security
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2014 - 15:04
While Americans seem quite comfortable
with the US government 'breaching' their
privacy, the surge in private sector
cyber-attacks and data hacks in recent
months is worrisome to many. As Bloomberg illustrates
below, so far the efforts have been focused on retail merchants
(as opposed to banking) with Home Depot's latest breach yet
to be sized but believed to be "massive."

Obama To Unveil Non-'Boots-On-The-
Ground' Strategy For "Hunting Down"
ISIS, On Wednesday
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2014 - 14:15
President Obama has swung from "we have
no strategy" to "keep in mind this is
something we know how to do," in a week,
and speaking on Meet The Press this
morning he teased the world's allies (and terrorists) with the
promise that he will address the nation Wednesday to lay out
U.S. plans for combating the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
(ISIS), promising the U.S. can and will defeat the group. As
CBS reports, while not quite as gung-ho as Biden's "gates of
hell" speech, President Obama appears to have stepped up his
rhetoric from 'contain' to 'defeat' as he stated "we will hunt
down [ISIS] members and assets wherever they are," but
carefully added putting U.S. troops on the ground would be
a "profound mistake."

How Much Is A Trillion?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2014 - 13:33
One trillion is a big number. In this short
clip, we try to help you get a sense for just
how big; but the reality is simply that the
human brain can't really suitably
comprehend magnitudes this large. Which is
why we should be concerned that the US' money supply
has ballooned to over $12 trillion dollars over the past
decade. And that its outstanding debts and liabilities are many
multiples that amount. We have reached the point where were
operating in territory beyond our neural programming. As a
result, unintended consequences to our current policies are
guaranteed.

misinformation continues among all sides in
Ukraine; but this 'denial' occurred very
rapidly. As Reuters reports, a senior aide to
Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko said on
Sunday that Kiev had reached agreement
during the NATO summit in Wales on the
provision of weapons and military advisers
from five member states of the alliance.
However, four of those five swiftly denied making any
such pledge.

Ken Rogoff Warns Of The Exaggerated
Death Of Inflation
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2014 - 12:09
Today, high inflation seems so remote
that many analysts treat it as little more
than a theoretical curiosity. They are
wrong to do so. No matter how much
central banks may wish to present the level
of inflation as a mere technocratic decision,
it is ultimately a social choice. And some of
the very pressures that helped to
contain inflation for the past two decades have been
retreating. Modern central banking has worked wonders to
bring down inflation. Ultimately, however, a central bank's anti-
inflation policies can work only within the context of a
macroeconomic and political framework that is consistent with
price stability. Inflation may be dormant, but it is certainly
not dead.

The West Without Water
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/06/2014 - 23:15
"We had a relatively dry period during the
Medieval Warm Period, 900-1400AD. There
were several prolonged periods of drought
that lasted decades to over a century
during that time. That period was followed
by a cooler, wetter period (the Little Ice
Age) that continued until the 19 century. However, the tree-
ring records suggest that the 20 century was unusually wet,
meaning we had fewer droughts on average than the previous
1000 years.... the past decade in California and the West has
been pretty dry, and the concern is that these climate
conditions could continue for several more decades. We've seen
these broader cycles of wet-dry in the past."
