Exxon Distances Itself From BP’s ‘Dramatic Departure’ in the Gulf

June 15th, 2010 bystacyherbert
Respond

Stacy Summary:   Exxon distances itself from BP’s ‘dramatic departure’ from industry norms.  A split in the big oil ranks?  It’s unlike anything I’ve seen in the banking sector where they are all, so far, sticking together to the same story.  What do you think of this story?  And anyone have good links to information on BP’s role in the Exxon Valdez?  **UPDATE** – Fitch downgrades BP to two grades above ‘junk’

Trend Exchange’s Robert Swagger, The Dr. Kervorkian of Hollywood Readies His Needle

June 15th, 2010 bymaxkeiser
Respond

Never underestimate American industry’s tendency to commit suicide. Recently, we’ve seen it in the car business, the banking business and the housing business. Now we’re going to see it in Hollywood. As someone who studies the foibles and psychology of bankers and businessmen in America (as they kill the American economy and ecology in the name of entrepreneurialism) I anticipate watching and reporting as media-derivatives increase to 10 to 20 times the size of the underlying business they are supposedly ‘hedging’ and then explode in a fiery death spiral of fat profits for insiders alongside losses and recriminations for the Ponzi scheme suckers who will lose big time.

Prediction: The next Heath Ledger type incident will be tied to a hedge fund manager rumored to have cashed in on Trend Exchange.

Hollywood Robber Barons Jon Feltheimer and Michael Burns Hang Tough Against Wall St. Asset Stripper Ichan

June 14th, 2010 bymaxkeiser
Respond

(h/t GourmetTeamster) While the CFTC and MPAA battle Hollywood terrorist wannabe Cantor Fitzgerald who is attempting to destroy Hollywood with weapons of mass financial destruction; using a bastardized version of intellectual property they came across in a highly dubious manner, Wall St. private equity terrorist Carl Icahn is trying to wedge control of Lionsgate Films away from honchos Jon Feltheimer and Michael Burns. Apparently he can’t wait to get into the dying copyright business; timing his raid to coincide perfectly with the final rites being administered to the copyright dependent music industry.

My money is on Felt and Burns. With an endless supply of cheap money from Burns’ pal J.P.Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon they will continue to rule the Hollywood Robber Baron roost in ways that Harvey Weinstein can only dream about.

PirateMyfilm: Getting Closer to 9/11′s ‘Broker Zero’

June 14th, 2010 bymaxkeiser
Respond

Max – Saw you are making a film about the stock options issue on 9/11. I tried to acquire the investigative material referenced in the 9/11 report only to discover that the relevant files have, according to the government, been destroyed. That’s right – the government claims to have destroyed part of the 9/11 report. Here’s a copy of the FOIA document. Good luck with the film.

WSJ: BP Spill Will Add to GDP, Too Bad We Can’t Just Line Up People and Shoot Them (Yet).

Respond

You gotta love the Wall St. Journal. Murdoch is one of those guys who would have volunteered at the concentration camps, which; according to the WSJ, would have boosted GDP for the people stuck in those camps. Goldman of course would have created Collateralized Ash Obligations (CAO’s).

Hollywood Derivatives Holocaust Heats Up as Blanche Lincoln’s Chances Cool.

June 17th, 2010 bymaxkeiser
Respond

The only thing stopping Trend Exchange and Cantor Exchange (and Box Office futures contracts); Wall St.’s latest weapon of financial destruction from going live is Blanche Lincoln and her (and the MPAA’s) attempt to outlaw these contracts.  If she goes down, Hollywood becomes “Snakes On A Plane” sequels for as long as shady hedge fund managers can borrow against future box office results until they can’t and BAM! bailout number 100 by Obama for the Wall St. enabled bankruptcy of Hollywood.

Climate Change: Why I don’t Own Any Real Estate

June 17th, 2010 bystacyherbert
Respond

I am often asked why I don’t own any real estate. In a world ravaged by climate change it is going to be increasingly difficult to keep one step ahead of environmental catastrophe and the increasing problem of  ‘climate change immigrants’  numbering in the hundreds of thousands. The impact on real estate and other parts of the economy will necessitate nimble planning when it comes to housing.

Peak Oil: Obama Admits World ‘Consumes More Oil Than It Produces.’

My takeaway from Obama’s BP speech was that he freely admits that the reason oil companies need to go drilling for oil in hard to get to places is because the world is running out of the toxic stuff.  This is the first Presidential acknowledgement of what we covered in our film; “Peaked”

Deflation Watch: Lumber Turns to Kindling.

June 17th, 2010 bymaxkeiser
Respond

On balance, deflation is wreaking havoc in the global economy. The ‘Inflationists’ have been wrong since 2007. The ‘hyper-inflationists’ might some day be relevant. But for today, debt spiraling into a vortex of sovereign and societal default and unrest defines the global economy.

Bill Gross of Pimco Trades On Environmental Holocaust in Gulf. “Death is a Buy.”

June 17th, 2010 bymaxkeiser
Respond

Gross loves to get on TV and manipulate prices for his fund. He front runs his own media appearances in the name of ‘adding liquidity’ and ‘market making.’ If Bernie Madoff told the world about his crooked transactions on CNBC before he made them he’d be Bill Gross. Interestingly, media-front running has not popped up on regulators screens in D.C. yet. Presumably they are all trading on Bill’s “insights” themselves so they don’t want to kill the oil drenched goose, er, pelican.

  • Bill Gross is a buyer of BP (BP) short-term de(bt)ath.
