Bill Gross On The Alpha And The Beta
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/21/2013 - 10:19We are now used to the daily dispensation of deep twitsight by Pimco's head. Today's installment does not disappoint: in under 140 characters, the bond kind breaks down the now thoroughly dis-proven Efficient Market Hypothesis for the "new normal" in which both alpha and beta are purely functions of virtual central bank printers. However, his view on what happens when said virtual ink runs out (or rather if) is well-known by all at this point. The only question is when.
Gross:Alpha is gr8ly a function of beta &the levered structurs that domin8 credit mkts. No beta? Skinnier alpha ahed 4 unsuspecting investrs

IRS Hearings II: The Steve Miller Band Plays On - Live Stream
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/21/2013 - 09:59He's back to reprise his role as stoic 'I know nuffin' scapegoat. Former IRS boss Steve Miller faces a second round of truth-seeking, grand-standing, and extended questioning at today's Senate hearing on the IRS debacle. Scheduled to start at 10ET, Miller will be joined by Russell George (the IRS IG - full report here) and former IRS commissioner Doug Shulman. Grab the popcorn...

Following 20% Move Higher In Two Days, Herbalife Shorts Are Sweating
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/21/2013 - 09:52Back in December, when HLF was trading in the mid-$20s, and long before Icahn's involvement in the situation was even remotely public, we laid out the case for what we thought would be a major short squeeze in the name upon Ackman's public announcement that he had shorted 20 million share of HLF stock. Well, judging by the 20% jump in the stock in the past two days, which has manifested in a nearly $200 million paper loss for Ackman, and which has sent the stock some 100% higher from our base level, has the time finally come for the massive 40% of the float that is short, to start to panic? Judging by the rapid move, we may be approaching that imminent moment when none other than Bill Ackman gets the infamous tap on the shoulder around 3 pm with a polite but firm request that the time to cover has come, leading to yet another crushing victory for the Icahnator.

When A Money-Printing Butterfly Flaps Its Wings In Japan, This Is What Happens In Greece
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/21/2013 - 09:25Since the BoJ enunciated its actions on April 4th, the world has decided that consuming risk assets (the riskier the better) is the path to salvation. While it makes perfect sense that some level of inspiration for a global recovery makes sense (though hardly) given Japan's actions, it beggars belief that the most broke of broke peripheral European nations would see equity moves of such magnitude. On the 50th anniversary of Chaos Theory (more on this later today), it is perhaps worth remembering its central lesson – that complex interrelated systems create unexpected outcomes from seemingly benign inputs. It appears the complex inter-related world in which we live is becoming more and more chaotically unstable at the margin and this current euphoria does not approximately determine the future. There are more than enough variables out there – the butterflies flapping away – which can change outcomes in an instant.

Forecasting Today's Closing Print

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/21/2013 - 08:49A reversal will come. The odds on this are 100%. You cannot have every asset class on the planet in a bubble forever. The world does not operate this way. The disconnect between economic fundamentals and the markets continues but the odds on it continuing forever is Zero. The creation of all of this money also has another effect. It causes stupidity. It is quite true that we do not know the "what and the when" of it but a prediction that lacks any "If" will prove to be true. There is no longer an "If." The disparity now is just too great. Play the game as long as you can. It has gone on to date right in line with the increase in the money and in the lies. Play the game. However if you are smart you will have an exit strategy and a defense lined up well in advance before the man with the scythe shows up and takes a swipe at you. We stand on a precipice. There is an avalanche of lies, distortions and currency that has been created and is tumbling all around us. It cannot be dodged forever.

Goldman Goes Uberhyper-Bullish, Hikes S&P500 Target To 1750 By Year End, Sees 2100 By 2015
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/21/2013 - 08:24"Our positive 2013 outlook for S&P 500 has played out much faster than we expected." That is how the latest equity update from Goldman Sachs, which until today had an S&P target of 1625 for the year end S&P, begins. And, logically, the only option for Goldman is to hike its outlook even more, because not even the Squid apparently could anticipate how quickly the policy it forced down the throats of central banks around the world, levitated markets to surpass its old price targets. The result is David Kostin (who until December had foreseen 1250 on the S&P for the end of 2012) and company were forced to goalseek even higher targets based on tried and true excel model fudging exercises, and such "value" creation as multiple expansion and dividend payments. To wit: "Our earnings estimates remain unchanged but we raise our dividend estimates and index return forecasts for 2013 through 2015. We expect S&P 500 will rise by 5% to 1750 by year-end 2013, advance by 9% to 1900 in 2014, and climb by 10% to 2100 in 2015. Our 2013 return implies a year-end P/E of 15.0x, a one multiple point premium to our fair-value estimate. We forecast dividends will rise by 30% during next two years. Dividend yield is likely to stay around 2%, in line with the 20-year average." For the record, Goldman had previously seen 1,900 in 2015. And now it sees another 200 points of value due to the magic of multiple expansion. That anyone can even pretend to forecast what happens three years into the future at a time when the central banks are injecting $160 billion (and soon $200 billion), and most likely will have to slowdown and halt such liquidity injection resulting in untold stock market carnage, is so beyond commentary we will leave it hanging for the ridiculous statement it is.

It's Tuesday: Will It Be 19 Out Of 19?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/21/2013 - 07:10Another event-free day in which the only major economic data point was the release of UK CPI, which joined the rest of the world in telegraphing price deflation, despite bubbles in the real estate and stock markets, printing 2.0% Y/Y on expectations of a 2.3% increase, the lowest since November 2009 and giving Mark Carney carte blanche to print as soon as he arrives on deck. In an amusing twist of European deja-vuness, last night Japan's economy minister who made waves over the weekend when he said that the Yen has dropped low enough to where people's lives may be getting complicated (i.e., inflation), refuted everything he said as having been lost in translation, and the result was a prompt move higher in the USDJPY, quickly filling the entire Sunday night gap. That said, and as has been made very clear in recent years, data is irrelevant, and the only thing that matters, at least so far in 2013, is whether it is Tuesday: the day that has seen 18 out of 18 consecutive rises in the DJIA so far in 2013, and whether there is a POMO scheduled. We are happy to answer yes to both, so sit back, and wait for the no-volume levitation to wash over ever. The US docket is empty except for Dudley and Bullard speaking, but more importantly, the fate of Jamie Dimon may be determined today when the vote on the Chairman/CEO title is due, while Tim Cook will testify in D.C. on the company's tax strategy and overseas profits.

Guest Post: The Coming Collapse Of The Petrodollar System
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/20/2013 - 22:48
The theory of Petrodollar Warfare can be attributed to US analyst and author William R Clarke, and his 2005 book of that title which interpreted the US-UK decision to invade Iraq in 2003. He called this an "oil currency war", but the concept of the petrodollar system and petrodollar recyling dates back to the eve of the first Oil Shock in 1973-1974. The role of the petrodollar system as a driving force of US foreign policy is explained by analysts and historians as basic to maintaining the dollar's status as the world's dominant reserve currency - and the currency in which oil is priced. Today however, with the major and massive changes of oil resource availability revealed by the shale energy revolution, rising global oil production capabilities, stagnating oil demand, and rising renewable energy supplies in all major developed countries, and the constantly declining role of oil in the economy, the Petrodollar System's days are surely numbered

Russia Adds Two More Warships To Mediterranean Task Force Near Syria
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/20/2013 - 22:12A few days when reporting that the Russian Pacific fleet had crossed the Suez canal for the first time in decades in order to form a Mediterranean task force parked in Cyprus for obvious symbolic reasons (in close proximity to Syria and the Israel-parked Kearsarge), some observed that while the submarine support was adequate, the actual warship fleet designated to support any potential escalation in Syria would be largely insufficient. Perhaps the Russian Navy heard these complaints, and several hours ago RIA reported that two extra warships from the Russian Black Sea fleet had joined the Mediterranean task force, citing Capt. First Rank Vyacheslav Trukhachyov, has said. None of these recent deployment should come as a surprise: in March Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said a permanent naval task force in the Mediterranean was needed to defend Russia's interests in the region. Read Syria, Cyrpus (where the task force will be on anchor indefinitely), and, of course, any and all western offensive involving Iran. And slowly but surely said task force is nearing completion.

Bitcoin – The Tyranny Test
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/20/2013 - 21:40An increasing number of people have complained about governments and central banks in recent years, even using the word "tyranny" to describe them. They are, of course, called names in the establishment press: conspiracy theorists, mainly. Calling someone a name, however, does not erase their argument (at least not among rational people) and both the governments and the big banks stand accused. Up till now, however, these accusations were never accepted by the general public. The average guy really didn't want to hear about the evils of government money. After all, that was the only thing he had ever used to buy food, clothes, gasoline, cars, and so on. He didn't want to acknowledge the accusations because he feared what might happen to him without his usual money. Now, however, we have a brand new currency (called Bitcoin) available to us: something radically different. This gives us a new way to directly address the subject of monetary tyranny, providing a clear test for the governments and money masters of the world.

WTF Chart Of The Day: "It's All About The Earnings"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/20/2013 - 21:10
"Earnings are the mother's milk of the stock market," is the oft-repeated anthem of a million marching lemmings; parroting the same phrase come hell or high-water in the dismal hope that they can gather moar assets-under-management, garner moar fees, and make moar TV appearances. However, as the chart below shows, we suspect perhaps given the reality of earnings expectations that the new normal mantra for stocks-for-the-long-term should be - "Central Bank liquidity is the PCP of the stock market."

With millions of Americans set to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday, a new survey finds more than a quarter of Americans believe that God "plays a role in determining which team wins" at sports events.
The survey by the Public Religion Research Institute also found that more than half of Americans believe "God rewards athletes who have faith with good health and success."
"In an era where professional sports are driven by dollars and statistics," said institute CEO Robert P. Jones, "significant numbers of Americans see a divine hand at play."
Asked if they believe God plays a role in who wins, 27% of Americans said yes. Poll results varied among regions and religions: 36% said yes in the South, 28% in the Midwest, 20% in the Northeast and 15% in the West.
Among nonwhite Christians and white evangelicals, 40% and 38% said yes, respectively; 29% of Catholics and 19% of white mainline Protestants also responded that God plays a role.
Jones said these figures reflect many Americans' belief in a very active God.
Minority Christians and white evangelical Christians "have a very personal view of God, a God that is very active in their daily lives and very concerned about the things that matter to them," Jones said. "So far as sports are one of the things that matter, it stands to reason that God is playing an important role."
Faith and sports have long gone hand in hand; many athletes regularly thank God after their team wins, and some even write references to Scripture on their game-day gear.
After Kurt Warner's 1999 Super Bowl victory with the St. Louis Rams, the evangelical Christian used his post-game interview to thank God. "Well, first things first," Warner told a reporter. "I've got to thank my Lord and Savior up above --- thank you, Jesus!"
Sunday's game between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers could see the same profession of faith. Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, who will make this Super Bowl his last game in the NFL, has regularly thanked God in the Ravens' somewhat improbable run to the Super Bowl.

LISD adopts resolution to oppose private school plan
By Chris Roark, email@example.com
The Lewisville ISD Board of Trustees on Monday adopted a resolution that calls for legislators to �reject all attempts to divert public dollars away from public schools in the form of vouchers, taxpayer savings grants, tax credits, or any other mechanisms that have the effect of reducing funding to public schools.�
Specifically, the board opposes a plan led by Sen. Dan Patrick (R-Houston), which received support from Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst. A specific bill has not yet been filed.
Among other things, the plan calls for businesses to receive tax incentives for funding scholarships to private schools.
"If someone receives a voucher to go to a private school, then that's less money for LISD and other districts," Foughty said. "Right now, we're already underfunded."
Sheffield said the money would only cover a small portion of the tuition anyway.
"It becomes a coupon for people to go to a private school," Sheffield said. "They say that it helps failing schools. But if it's for, say, $5,100 ... show me a private school you can get into for $5,100."
Foughty said another problem is that private schools don't have to follow the same mandates and accountability system as public schools do.
"If public money is going to private schools, then they need to meet the same standards," Foughty said.
The plan also calls for increasing the cap on the number of charter schools, which Foughty said would take money away from public schools even more.
It also calls for a change to the state�s testing system.
Sheffield said she is afraid the plan may gain traction since many people support changing the testing system.
Representatives from Patrick�s office did not return calls to The Leader.

text: Great piece from the Daily Show. My favorite jokes were:- "If you follow the world of sports and/or homosexuality"- Jon going nerdy with three gay wizards: Ian McKellen, Dumbledore and Jason Collins- Video cut getting Obama to say: "[Speaking for Jason] I'm still 7 foot tall and can bang with Shaq."- Jon Stewart and Jason Jones longing for the ability to make Linsanity-like puns that ended with GESPY (Gay-ESPY). In general, I found this a good piece in that it is propelled by an intellectual point (of how a non-flashy coming out is still important and impressibe) with a little light humor around it.

Dallas Cowboys Josh Brent Arrested After Fatal Crash Killing Teammate
By: ESPN.com
Updated: December 8, 2012
IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys nose tackle Josh Brent was arrested early Saturday morning for intoxication manslaughter after a one-vehicle accident that killed teammate Jerry Brown.
According to Irving police, Brent's car was traveling at a high rate of speed on a State Highway 114 service road before it hit the outside curb. The car flipped at least one time before coming to rest in the middle of the service road.
When police arrived, Brent was responsive and spoke to officers. Brown was unresponsive and taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Brent, a three-year veteran, was booked in the Irving city jail at 4:14 a.m. Saturday morning.
Brown was signed to the Cowboys' practice squad earlier this season. He was also Brent's college teammate at Illinois.
"We are deeply saddened by the news of this accident and the passing of Jerry Brown," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a statement. "At this time, our hearts and prayers and deepest sympathies are with the members of Jerry's family and all of those who knew him and loved him."
The Cowboys are flying to Cincinnati for Sunday's game against the Bengals and had no comment on the accident, other than to say Brent did not make the team's charter. The players were told on the plane just before takeoff of what happened after non-team personnel were asked to go outside.
In June 2009, Brent was sentenced to two years of probation and 60 days in jail as part of a plea agreement stemming from a drunken driving arrest in Champaign County in Illinois.

American Newspaper Solutions will provide delivery, tracking and reporting of daily newspaper print materials and total market coverage products.
Jerry Ballenger, CEO of the firm said he expects the service to save money for the newspaper.
"This relationship will reduce the administrative and (human resources) functions of The Morning Call associated with this distribution and allow the newspaper to focus on business development and building advertising revenue in a challenging marketplace."
He said the company's Carrier Track technology will allow customers to utilize enhanced tracking capabilities, while allowing subscribers a more efficient way to communicate with the circulation division on topics such as customer requests for product.
The company began delivery operations as of Dec. 3.

Unmasking of a president

If Barack Obama hoped to use his inaugural address Monday to solidify his standing in the eyes of the Left, he did a pretty darn good job of it.
Having officially taken the oath of office in private on Sunday to become the 45th president of the United States, it was all glitz and glamour Monday at the public inauguration in Washington where one million people reportedly were in attendance. If you tuned in to watch the inauguration on CNN or MSNBC or ABC or CBS or NBC, which I did, you would have thought the Messiah had arrived.
With the nation swimming in a sea of red ink to the tune of $16.4 trillion and counting, with Social Security and Medicare headed toward insolvency, with the government at the end of its rope in borrowing money to pay its bills, with more than $2.6 trillion in new taxes on the backs of the American people these days, with five million more Americans out of work today compared to four years ago, with the unemployment rate hovering between seven and eight percent, with 100 million Americans on some sort of welfare, you would have thought Obama would have seized the opportunity to talk about the sacrifices all of us must make to salvage the Republic. He didn't.
Instead, Obama unmasked himself and showed the world he's a true liberal. Through and through. No illusions of a centrist in his second term.
"For the American people can no more meet the demands of today's world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. No single person can train all the math and science teachers we'll need to equip our children for the future. Or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores."
In other words, Obama said the American people can accomplish nothing unless the government partners with them.
"We, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it .We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit. But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future."
On this point, Obama acknowledged that he intends to take from those who work hard for a living and redistribute their earnings to those who don't. He also acknowledged that he has no plans to pursue entitlement reform to save Social Security and Medicare for future generations. He would rather kick the can down the road, so to speak, for someone else to tackle. After he's long gone from office, of course.
"We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms. The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But American cannot resist this transition."
In those remarks, Obama told us he will continue to make it difficult for the oil and gas industry to provide a stable source of energy for the country to consume and more taxpayer dollars will be poured into so-called "green" endeavors. Solyndra be damned.
There was more to Obama's speech, including an acknowledgment to black Americans who put their lives on the line for equality. It was especially fitting since Monday marked the Rev. Martin Luther King holiday.
There's no denying that King was a credit to his race, and he lost his life at the height of the civil rights movement, doing what he did best championing the cause. But Obama besmirched King's legacy by comparing King's work to the 1969 Stonewall riots staged by the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.
"We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths that all of us are created equal is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall."
It should not have come as a surprise that Obama played on the emotions surrounding the King holiday, and it wasn't a surprise that he dragged LGBTs into the mix. After all, minorities and LGBTs represent the core base of support for the Democratic Party these days.
But if anything, Obama's inaugural address was all political. And it fell far short of offering a vision for the American people to pursue.

The RAM Marine Grade Aluminum Mount with Zinc Coated U-Bolt Rail Base consists of the 1" dia. ball and socket system with RAM Universal Extension Plate. This mount is designed to be a universal mounting solution for both RAM and non-RAM designed products. The hole pattern found on the Extension Plate will connect to a large variety of third party cradles and mounts.
BASE DESIGN:The RAM-B-231Z RAM Mount Powder Coated Marine Grade Aluminum Rail Base has a 1.0 inch diameter Rubber Ball designed to sit at right angles to the mounting rail. The Zinc Coated metal U-Bolt and nuts included are designed it fit on most motorcycle round handlebars, or any circular rail or pipe with diameter from 3/4 to 1.0 inch. To mount the rail base, place the top of the base on the rail and then slide the u-bolt around the rail, into the holes in the base top. Now tighten the screws onto the u-bolt until the base is clamped firmly. If you desire, you can now slot the black rubber covers over the exposed ends of the u-bolt. Note: If you are looking to use this mount in the elements, we suggest the RAM-B-231 Stainless Steel U-Bolt Mount.
ARM DESIGN:The Powder Coated Marine Grade Aluminum Standard Length Double Socket Arm is 3.0" long when measured between socket centers.
EXTENSION PLATE DESIGN:The RAM-B-125B Marine Grade Aluminum Extension Plate with 1 inch Rubber Ball allows you to maneuver your GPS unit, or any connected device, in more positions than the standard mounting plate. Originally designed to position your GPS in front of the yoke on your plane, the extension plate can also be used in many other applications. The end of the plate is 2.5 inches square with predrilled holes for many different screw hole patterns, including the universal AMPS hole pattern and all RAM made cradles. The plate extends approximately 2.25 inches forward, at a 45 degree angle, from the center of the 1 inch ball and approximately 1.5 inches above the 1 inch ball (to the bottom of the connection section of the plate).

I can't believe that it's been almost 25 years since Full House made its debut! I remember watching this show at my grandmother's house and laughing along with the audience at Uncle Joey's many impersonations and swooning over Uncle Jesse and his band. The cast actually got together to celebrate the 25-year milestone, but Mary-Kate and Ashley didn't show.
While Candace Cameron Bure (D.J. Tanner), Bob Saget (Danny Tanner), John Stamos (Jesse Katsopolis), Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner), Lori Loughlin (Becky Katsopolis), Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler), Dave Coulier (Joey Gladstone), and Scott Weinger (Steve Hale), rocked out to some NKOTB, ate a cake modeled after their iconic Victorian San Francisco home and read scenes from past episodes, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were probably too busy to attend.
Why Michelle?! Whyyyy? EW.com has some possible reasons:
They were exhausted from running their $1 billion fashion empire: The winners of this year's Council of Fashion Designers of America award for top womenswear designers were probably taking an extended break after NYFW. Their spring collection for The Row received rave reviews and it takes time to fully recover from full-fledged fashion frenzy… Duh!
Mary-Kate had to babysit: The actress, 26, had to watch her 42-year-old boyfriend Olivier Sarkozy's preteen. Can you say stepmother of the year?
The girls were sampling scents for their new fragrance: Although it's projected to launch in March 2014, Mary-Kate and Ashley wanted to get a head start on creating their signature scent for their Elizabeth and James label. It's going to be hard to top their 2003 perfume, but may we suggest the use of tears of belladonna or crushed heart of tiger orchidea?
They were afraid the cast would ask them to say their catch phrase: How may times can they say "you got it dude" before it becomes annoying? Never. The answer is never.
Elizabeth wanted to tag along: The twins didn't want to be overshadowed by their younger sister. Again. Doesn't Liz have a movie to promote, anyway? [via EW]
While they obviously have a lot going on, it's just as important to take a little time to see some old familiar faces and take a trip down Memory Lane, right? And there was cake there! I could never turn down free cake and NKOTB tunage, but that's just me.
What do you think, Lovelies? Were they probably just too busy?

If implemented as proposed, the changes would realise savings of more than $18 million in the 2012/13 financial year. And Wayne McNee says these savings would occur without reducing the front line services delivered by MAF. Wayne McNee says: "The primary sectors are enormously important to New Zealand's economic future and they need to be served by a Ministry that is future focused, agile and enabling." "Our Ministry will partner with the primary sector to maximise export opportunities and improve sector productivity, while increasing sustainable resource use and protecting New Zealand from biological risks. We will also ensure our services provide good value to New Zealand." Wayne McNee says the proposals include combining and streamlining functions such as financial management, policy advice, and communications. In areas where there is a strong business case, such as IT, there are proposals to out-source some functions. Other reductions in position numbers would occur through a realignment of the management structures of the two legacy Ministries. Many of the positions proposed to reduce are currently vacant. However, Wayne McNee says there are no proposals to reduce numbers of current staff who are:
"We will continue to deliver the front-line services that we know are valued by New Zealanders, and ensure these are of a high standard," says Wayne McNee. Wayne McNee says changes to staff levels have been balanced against the need to ensure front-line services will continue to be delivered and improved. Under the proposals, MAF estimates the number of positions would reduce by 241, of which 97 are currently vacant. The majority of that reduction would occur in Wellington, where MAF has its head office. Wayne McNee says that final decisions on the outcome of the consultation process will be announced in October.
