The story of the week is that the money bubble has finally burst, as both Equity Investments and Credit Investments as well as Nation Investment, and Small Cap Nation Investment, and Global Financial Institutions, are trading lower from their April 9, 2014, highs, this coming on the failure of credit in China, in Russia, and in the US.
The failure of credit coming at the end of the week of April 25, 2014, constitutes the most significant economic event since President Nixon took the US off the gold standard in 1971, it pivots the world out of the age of credit and into the age of debt servitude, and is evidenced by the parabolic turn lower in Chinese Financials, CHIX, China Investments, YAO, as well as Regional Banks, KRE, the US small Caps, IWC, IWM, as well as Credit Providers Visa, V, and Mastercard, MC, the nation of Russia, RSX, ERUS, and Leveraged Buyouts, PSP, and manifests as the death of Major World Currencies, DBV, such as the Australian Dollar, FXA, and Emerging Market Currencies, CEW, such as the Chinese Yuan, CYB.
Now, the investor is going extinct; especially the fixed income investor; that is those invested in a Pursuit Of Yield like those invested in Electricity Utility Stocks, PUI, XLU, such as New Era Energy, NEE, Real Estate REITS, RWR, such as General Growth Properties, GGP, in Energy Partnerships, AMJ, such as Cheniere Energy, LNG, and Oiltanking Partners, OILT.
The failure of credit is an extinction event, that pivots the world economy out of liberalism, that is the paradigm and age of credit and investment choice, and into authoritarianism, that is the paradigm and age of diktat and debt servitude, which features the debt serf, is the centerpiece of economic activity.
Under the power of the Rider on the White Horse, as is seen in Revelation 6:1-2, the bond vigilantes are effecting a global economic coup d’etat, transferring sovereignty from democratic nation states to sovereign regional leaders and sovereign regional bodies, such as the ECB, by calling the Interest Rate on the US Ten Year Note, ^TNX, higher from 2.48% on October 23, 2013, and are powering up the singular dynamo of regionalism to establish regional security, stability, and sustainability, to deal with the destructionism of unwinding currency carry trades and debt trades
Investors greed has turned to fear; fear that debtors will not repay lenders, with the result that the Pursuit Of Yield Investments such as Leveraged Buyouts, PSP, Emerging Market Financials, EMFN, Shipping, SEA, Chinese Real Estate, TAO, Water Resources, FIW, Energy Partnerships, AMJ, and Global Utilities, DBU, which underwrote the age of credit, are now trading lower. It’s “Hasta la vista baby” to Shippers, specifically the Greek shippers, NM, SB, DSX, NNA, TNP and GASS.
