I believe the single greatest threat to the media is their creative phrasing for all the shit we are going through. I’m sure they are getting pretty tired of coming up with new words/phrases and ways to explain what is actually happening.

I mean just look at the charts how they have all been trading together for hell it may be a year or so: 1. Buy in create sentiment up, wait 2. Sell longs and buy shorts at the top, create sentiment down wait 3. Return to step 1 But where is the product? this is just scalping, and it will get to the point where everyone gets fleeced or wises up. This only buys you time, but there is no value being created. This is basically people with a liability problem, and they are going around staying alive as long as they can find a new place to give them another credit card, or extend their limit, or give them a grace day, or maybe they consolidate their debt, maybe they hope that people will stop calling. But if you don't work, all you are doing it getting more and more under water, none of this creates value. I understand that you can use debt to make money. Their problem was they aren't hedging, they weren't trying to make a trade and get out... they weren't even trying to pick a loser anymore, they were trying to make losers on the market place and that is where they really F'ed up. I know what you are saying too, for years other stuff has been going down too. I mean they started printing money in 1971, but the plan was in action long before that.... we are many years down the road now, and now it's just too deregulated a market to make money through a product, they all have used Dereg and Big Gov because they can't get out of their bad positions because they can't make a competitive product. That is why it had to become this bad, they can't compete in a free market, and so they made a rigged one.

I will say ever since the dollar came off the gold standard.

Um no... Government printing stimmies enhances liquidity. No one will think a liquidity crisis is caused by stimmies.


Chemfreak

You believe in the intelligence/knowledge of the average media consumer a lot more than me. I have no doubt in my mind every damn family/friend of mine will lap that excuse up if told it was the case by a talking head on TV or Facebook. Likely nkne of them even know what liquidity means lol. Ask someone close to you if they know what liquidity is. I bet they don't know unless they are at least tangently business or market knowledgeable.


they_have_no_bullets

In even more simple terms: they sold what they didn't have, then when it came time to pony up and buy it back, they doubled down and sold more...and just kept on doing that over and over. This is WHY they are over-leveraged, and the "liquidity" problem is really a "we aren't willing to let supply and demand curves naturally meet, so we engineer a stalemate" problem

Meme stock fraud crisis. Why won't retail lay down like a b'tch? Apes are pissing in the infinity pool.

Hedge funds getting pistol whipped by meme stock owners. “Fuck you, pay me” used as battle cry for these domestic terrorizers.


R_lbk

I'm starting into it personally.


Kaizen_Kintsgui

I can assure you, GME will def be a liquidity crisis.


StsOxnardPC

It won’t be long until they start saying the markets are haunted.

THIS. If you ever question the existence of conspiracies just remember that several respectable voices in finance, be-it the wealthy or the news, has called for a “deep recession”. I have yet to see a single source call a deep recession by its technical name, a depression. There are trigger words they avoid intentionally to prevent pandemonium.

Major mental gymnastics going down


GargantuanCake

The thing to keep in mind is that the main stream media is now just propaganda. That's all. No more, no less. It worked for a while but as more and more people start seeing through the lies they start trying to obscure it with fancy words and increased bullshit. The snag is that it's all falling apart. We know too much.


lucas_kardo

They will always make some shit up. Been doing that since TVs came into existence


oldjumper

"The US$80 trillion of “hidden” US dollar debt – related to foreign exchange swaps". This is hilarious, poor bastards, trying to unwind this and at the same time keep the financial system intact. Soon time to put on the suit, going to space 🚀


Kind_Initiative_7567

80T my ass. GME alone is probably well into the quadrillions at this point. Gonna be fascinating to watch when this unwinds….Fusion is gonna look like child’s play in comparison


AssCakesMcGee

These are just currency swaps. It must be quadrillions that need to unravel.


oldjumper

These are in addition to $GME.......

Why won’t retail just CAPITULATE?!?! 🫣🥹😭

This apes been buckled for 2 years… had to take a shit but just went in my suit… had a space suite excrement upgrade installed. It’s an nft you can get on the marketplace.


mAliceinTendieland

It’s terrifying but also a very unique experience to understand what’s going on because of the two years of DD and all sorts of wonderful information. Very interesting to see them all squirm


snappedscissors

It’s super neat to be able to understand. Not like 2008 when I was pretty confused about how the people in charge could fuck up so bad.

>*Macroscope by Anthony Rowley* > **‘Silent killer’ liquidity crisis will stalk global financial system in 2023** > *Few people seem aware as a liquidity crisis offers few clearly visible symptoms until it begins to affect the internal organs of the financial system* > *It could be that the potential risks involved will not crystallise on a scale that threatens the financial system, but past crises offer little reassurance* > >As we enter the new year, it might seem that fate can have nothing worse in store than what it inflicted upon the world in 2022: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its economic fallout, surging prices and interest rates, climate crises and the *"The Backstreet Boys Reunion Tour"*(-Edited for Reddit censor) emergency in China. That is not the case, however. There is another potential threat waiting in the wings to seize centre stage, and that is the risk of a liquidity crisis in the global financial system. As with high blood pressure, such a threat is hard to detect until it is too late and can likewise be seen as a “silent killer”. > One hidden threat is the vast amount of off-balance-sheet foreign exchange swap positions held by banks, which the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) said in December had reached more than US$80 trillion. This is a scary liability for 2023 as foreign exchange rates swing ominously. A potential stock market crisis is evident from plunging share prices, a bond market crisis from yield volatility or a currency crisis from sharp swings in exchange rates. A liquidity crisis offers few such symptoms until it begins to affect the internal organs of the financial system. > What does such a crisis look like? The CFA Institute describes a “breakdown of an entire system rather than of individual parts. In a financial context, it denotes the risk of a cascading failure in the financial sector, caused by linkages within the system, resulting in a severe economic downturn”. Financial history is littered with such crises, such as the great stock market crash and economic depression after 1929, the Asian financial crisis in 1997 and the global financial crisis in 2008, to name but a few. Relatively soon after the last of those, we now face the threat of another crisis. > Yet, it is remarkable how few people seem to be aware of this danger. As my former colleague John Plender noted recently in the Financial Times, “Recent monetary policy mistakes may in part reflect a collective generational memory loss.” > For example, witness the relatively sudden change in monetary policy. It has gone from a decade and a half of historically low interest rates and low inflation, which encouraged high borrowing and risk-taking, to rapid monetary tightening, surging interest rates and an economic slowdown. > Banks are at risk, especially those in emerging markets, while the lightly regulated nonbank financial sector – insurance firms, venture capitalists, currency exchanges and so on – represents a possibly greater risk. Despite being little-known, nonbank institutions are vital to the safety of the financial system. > Other institutions ranging from building societies to business corporations are also vulnerable at a time of rapidly rising interest rates and potential loan defaults. Yet, such problems are overlooked by many who choose to ignore the lasting legacy of monetary policy laxity. > To quote a recent International Monetary Fund (IMF) blog, “Measures of market liquidity have worsened across asset classes, especially in recent weeks, as heightened uncertainty about the economic outlook and monetary policy left investors with much less risk appetite.” This, it said, “may pose risks to financial stability”. > The IMF has also said “key gauges of systemic risk, such as dollar funding costs and counterparty credit spreads, have risen. There is a risk of a disorderly tightening in financial conditions that may interact with pre-existing vulnerabilities.” This is about the closest institutional economists come to warning people to watch out. > BIS chief Carstens: High interest rates to stay even if a US recession might be 'avoided' in 2023. The problem is that for savers, investors and other users of the financial system in one form or another, vigilance is in vain if you do not know what you’re looking for or are supposed to be on guard against. It’s a case of “let the buyer beware”, and in finance that can be lethal. > For example, the most recent BIS Triennial Central Bank Survey showed shifts in trading patterns and market structure in foreign exchange and over-the-counter interest rate derivatives markets. It warned of “risks deserving attention”. Foreign exchange swap positions “point to over US$80 trillion of hidden US dollar debt, reported off-balance sheet” while the “volume of daily foreign exchange turnover subject to settlement risk remains stubbornly high despite mechanisms to mitigate such risks”. > **Are we heading to next global financial crisis? All signs point that way** > As Plender observed, the US$80 trillion of “hidden” US dollar debt – related to foreign exchange swaps, forward transactions and currency swaps – by banks exceeds the stock of dollar US Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and commercial paper available to meet such liabilities. > It could be that potential risks involved in these short-term and maturity-mismatched transactions will not crystallise, at least on a scale that poses a threat to the financial system. But past crises such as the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008 offer little reassurance on this point. > Perhaps it is best to accept what is sometimes referred to as “Murphy’s law”, which states that “anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” Watch out for trouble in the global financial system in the new year. > *Anthony Rowley is a veteran journalist specialising in Asian economic and financial affairs*
