investmentwatchblog--2020-04-24--GOVERNOR COUMO DROPS COVID19 BOMBSHELL: ACTUAL DEATH RATE 0.5% in New York State

When I saw him say this today I just couldn ’ t believe it , and his means of coming up with his numbers are oddly enough the only study done like in the US What he did is test 3000 people randomly all throughout the state for antibodies specific to SARS2Cv19 , and what they discovered is at least 2.4 million people had the antibodies in New York state .
In this writers opinion the numbers might be off but not by a large percentage .
The Governor added the caveat that no doubt many more deaths will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and he said millions of people had it and never even knew it .
This death rate is not alarmingly high and only double to triple the average death rate from the flu , it means essentially that out of 1000 people that catch this virus , 5 will die .
When these numbers are made well known the people are going to start realizing something fucked up just went down .
We shut the whole damned world down for nothing , and the people involved HAD to know it .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ days isn ’ t it ?

investmentwatchblog--2020-04-24--A nation of debt, why the bank wants you as poor as possible, for as long as possible.

It has become highly evident to me , as time rolls on , that the current banking system in the United States is completely and totally without coincidence , designed to keep people as poor as long as possible .
It is high time we stop using the outdated “ pull yourself up by your bootstraps ” and “ it ’ s your fault that you are poor ” bullshit .
This is a division tactic and how many people were honestly told this during the great depression as people killed themselves due to poverty and bankers leapt off the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very few .
It has become increasingly harder since the 1970 ’ s to make a living for yourself .
This is not your fault .
You have factors within your control , and many factors that are outside of your control .
During a depression , it is simply harder to make a living , or even make any money at all .
There are many , many things that have a direct impact on your future .
Even your parents play a role .
People who are born into extreme wealth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ maintain their own wealth because their parents will usually do things like buy them a car , pay for their college , and of course leave them a tidy some of money when they pass .
Some people are born into such wealth , they don ’ t have to work a single day in their life .
But , focusing on right now , more and more people have to put their future in the hands of the banks through debt .
It should be glaringly obvious that the more people who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ class , the less money they have to borrow .
The banks honestly hate this .
The more people they can keep poor , the more money they will make , especially at a time when borrowing rates are low .
If more people are well-off , and rates are high , they have no trouble lending money at rates that are two to three times as high as they are now .
But with historically low rates , the banks have to find a way to make money .
Lets look at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the overdraft fee .
Even if you overdraft your bank by $ 10 , the bank comes along and tacks on a fee , usually $ 35 .
So now , not only are you poorer , you now have to come up with $ 45 instead of $ 10 .
While the personal finance circle jerkers would love to smear you and say it ’ s your fault , many millions of people are poor in the US and live paycheck to paycheck .
They may simply have no other means to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be $ 600 but they have $ 610 worth of critical expenses including rent , food , electric , etc .
Anyone who sees the overdraft fee as an honest fee , is in my opinion , criminally insane and morally bankrupt .
People are charged $ 35 for being short $ 10 .
Banks run out of money all the time , and are allowed to borrow through the intrerbank system at less than 1 % .
There is no valid excuse to charge people almost $ 40 for simply being poor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a time when the middle class was at a much higher percentage than it is today .
It was simply a fee for not balancing your checkbook better , and many people never needed to worry about said fee .
The fee for overdraft during the 80 ’ s used to be about $ 10 , but banks soon kept charging higher and higher fees when they realized they could make a killing as a extremely high priced short-term borrowing “ service ” .
Banks make somewhere around $ 30B a year in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 90 collected from every man , woman and child every single year .
But moving on from this , and as I said earlier , the poorer the average person is , the more money the banks can make .
There was a time in America when you didn ’ t need a degree to make good money .
While many blame the exodus of “ good paying American jobs ” on President Clinton , it actually started much earlier than that .
I buy and sell a lot of stuff on eBay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goods including consumer electronics that were made in China or Japan during the 80s and even late 70 ’ s .
While there were a lot of jobs lost to other countries during NAFTA , this practice had been going on for well over a decade .
Anyway , it is very hard to make decent money without a college degree anymore thanks to this .
I ’ ve talked to many older people in my family who were making the inflation-adjusted equivalent of $ 20- $ 25 per hour during the 60 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s working at a factory , out of high school and of course with no college degree .
If they wanted to go to college , it was entirely possible to work part-time during the summer and pay for an entire year of college , without loans , federal grants , etc .
But banks soon realized if people can do this , they can do so without borrowing .
My dad bought a brand new car with his factory job in 1970 , and paid cash .
He bought a home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paid for it in cash .
Try doing that today at a factory .
Oh..did I mention most factories actually pay less now than they did 30 years ago , accounting for inflation ?
My father made $ 16/hr in the year 1999 before he retired .
That is $ 24.79 today , and the same factory is surprisingly still open .
They start people out at $ 14 an hour .
Go figure .
So very soon , college degrees became barriers of entry into good paying jobs .
A lot of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ degrees before soon did .
A lot of jobs that required associate degrees 20 years ago now require a bachelors , and for the bachelor graduates of 20 years ago , more jobs require master degrees .
Of course , the longer you stay in college , the more money they can make off you , and the cost of attendance rises quite a bit EVERY YEAR , despite wages barely increasing with inflation over a 20 year time span .
Now people are graduating and possibly getting a good paying job , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aren ’ t enough to go around .
Av average job can sometimes see almost 200 applications .
People love to brag that only 4 % of college graduates are unemployed .
This is true , but the real figure is close to 41 % of college graduates are currently working in a job that does not require a degree .
So while 96 % of college grads are in fact working , nearly 45 % of them are working in a dead end job .
You can go to Walmart or McDonalds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have bachelors degrees .
This is because they were sold a lie .
A lie of “ if you go to college , you will get a good paying job ” .
This lie is a trap , a trap to keep people in upwards of $ 100,000 in debt .
The next biggest thing you will purchase is a house , which is now much harder to purchase than your parents or grandparents bought one for .
The median home price in 1970 was only $ 17,000 .
$ 113,091 in today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ price today is $ 248,857 , 2.2 times the cost of a home in 1970 .
Now , not only does it cost a recent college grad a lot more to buy a house , their $ 500- $ 600 a month student loan payments are factored into their debt to income ratio , which can mean a higher borrowing rate , or a longer term , thus trapping people for even longer .
When you factor in the double cost of buying a home today , trying to do so on 15 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now banks are pushing for more and more 30 year mortgages .
Using the median home price of today , you will have paid a bank over $ 100,000 more in interest than picking a 15 year term .
But as I said earlier , some factors are in your control , some are not .
You obviously have no control over why the median price of a home has doubled and then some since 1970 .
You have no control over the price of college going up more and more every year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ larger than the home of 1970 .
According to the US census , the average home in 1973 was 1660 square feet .
Today it ’ s 2679 square feet .
Which makes no sense , unless of course you are the bank .
The bank fronts money to the construction company that builds a new home .
Bigger home , more interest .
Then of course the same trick when you buy the home .
More interest , less chance of affording a 15 year term .
It also makes no sense @ @ @ @ @ @ @ square feet larger than a home in 1973 .
The average family size is smaller , there are more single parent families and people are having fewer children .
Now I ’ m going to stop here , as I could go on for pages on end .
But my main point is this : anyone who uses the “ your fault your poor ” is full of shit .
They are brainwashed and the banks and other lending institutions in this country LOVE IT when people spout this BS .
It absolves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fault .
It pushes the problem away from the real problem and gaslights it onto other people .
You have a small amount of control on your finances , the economy and the banks have a much larger bearing on your financial success than you will EVER realize .
The thumb-grip of the bank tightens every year .
If you told people in the 70 ’ s there were vacation and wedding loans , they would laugh at you at such an idea .
But they are very true today .
Should we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same standard of living your parents or grand parents had in the 70s ?
Should we all just continue to live farther and farther below our means because achieving their standard of living today is nearly impossible without going into debt ?
If you answered “ yes ” , then congrats , you are one of the few people right now who understand just what the hell is going on .
If not , then congrats , the banks have successfully brainwashed you into repeating “ its your fault your poor ” .

From the start, too much of the media has seized one-sidedly on the most unrestrained (and unrealistic) estimated death tolls. Morbid daily reports have casually mixed up the numbers dying ‘from’ and ‘with’ coronavirus. (In this, as elsewhere, the experts feeding the media are often as much to blame as any news outlet.) News reports have singled out the atypical deaths of a few younger people with no known health problems, downplaying the fact that those dying with Covid-19 are overwhelmingly elderly and infirm. The result of Apocalypse News has been to further inflame public anxieties.
The news media should put information before the public – not put the fear of God into them.

Why Georgia’s Governor Reopening the Service Economy? Ending unemployment benefits may have something to do with it.

During the last week in March, Georgia processed more claims for unemployment insurance than the state did in all of 2019.

A course correction may be coming. On April 20, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp announced that he would lift the state’s stay-at-home order for certain conspicuously non-essential businesses, including health clubs, hair salons, tattoo parlors and bowling alleys. Those businesses could re-open this Friday. Restaurants, meanwhile, can resume dine-in service as of Monday. The establishments that the governor just whistled open account for a huge share of those new jobless claims. Workers in restaurants and retail alone make up about a third of the state’s workforce. Critics have hammered Kemp’s decision to reopen the economy as “reckless” and “insane.” This weekend, business owners across the state are allowed to ask their employees to clock back in, even though Georgia has not yet met the so-called gating criteria outlined by the federal government for ending social-distancing protocols. It’s not just a question of red tape: Testing has revealed more than 21,000 confirmed Covid-19 cases in Georgia, a number that continues to climb. More than 1,000 new cases were identified since April 21. The state’s coronavirus case count is the 10th worse nationwide; its death toll stood at 872 on April 23. In Albany — a small town in the poorer and predominantly black stretch of rural Southwest Georgia that has lost 110 residents to the pandemic — local leaders spoke with dismay about Kemp’s decision to reopen jobs. Dougherty County Commission Chairman Chris Cohilas said that people should continue to shelter in place and practice social distancing. “Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should do something,” Cohilas said.

Along a party line vote in the House of Representatives , today House Democrats created a Coronavirus investigation committee to be led by candidate Joe Biden ’ s official political handler and control officer : South Carolina Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn .
The assembly of the Clyburn Committee is the DNC ’ s fourth political effort to remove President Trump from office .

Along a party line vote in the House of Representatives, today House Democrats created a Coronavirus investigation committee to be led by candidate Joe Biden’s official political handler and control officer: South Carolina Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn.
The assembly of the Clyburn Committee is the DNC’s fourth political effort to remove President Trump from office. (1) 2017: Russia Collusion; (2) 2018: Mueller Obstruction; (3) 2019: Ukraine interference; and now (4) 2020: Coronavirus caused by Trump.
The DNC Club boldly created the Coronavirus Oversight Committee to find new and insightful ways to claim the Wuhan Virus was caused by President Trump. However, it is the installation of Jim Clyburn, the engineer for the Joe Biden campaign, as the head of that committee that shows the political intents for 2020.
Democrats are not even trying to hide it.
Right before the SC Primary the DNC Club knew they had a problem with the Bernie Sanders momentum. An urgent assembly of all party control officers was called. The DNC Club designed a plan around using James Clyburn as the official spark for Joe Biden to take back control of the primary outcome.
Former President Obama was initiated by the Club to contact all candidates and inform them when and how they would quit the race and fall-in-line behind Joe Biden.
Clyburn was then triggered to initiate his endorsement and begin the rapid-fire process.
Within 48 hours all members of the club and candidates had their instructions and proceeded to follow-through on the plan. They had no choice. If they did not comply they would suffer the consequences of a fully aligned club hierarchy who would target them personally and financially.
The plan worked flawlessly.
As part of the coordinated deal Representative James Clyburn was put in charge of the Biden campaign; Clyburn stunningly admitted this immediately after the strategy went public. James Clyburn will also select/appoint the vice-presidential nominee.

Beasley also warned that there was a “real danger” that more people could die from the economic fallout than from the actual virus.
“This sounds truly shocking, but let me give you the numbers: 821 million people go to bed hungry every night all over the world, chronically hungry, and as the new Global Report on Food Crisis published today shows, there are a further 135 million people facing crisis levels of hunger or worse,” Beasley said. “That means 135 million people on earth are marching towards the brink of starvation. But now the World Food Program analysis shows that, due to the Coronavirus, an additional 130 million people could be pushed to the brink of starvation by the end of 2020. That’s a total of 265 million people.”

We identified only a single outbreak in an outdoor environment , which involved two cases .
Conclusions : All identified outbreaks of three or more cases occurred in an indoor environment , which confirms that sharing indoor space is a major SARS-CoV-2 infection risk .

Study of 318 outbreaks in China found transmission occurred out-of-doors in only one, involving just 2 cases. Most occurred in home or public transport.
Abstract
Background: By early April 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had infected nearly one million people and had spread to nearly all countries worldwide. It is essential to understand where and how SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted. Methods: Case reports were extracted from the local Municipal Health Commissions of 320 prefectural cities (municipalities) in China, not including Hubei province, between 4 January and 11 February 2020. We identified all outbreaks involving three or more cases and reviewed the major characteristics of the enclosed spaces in which the outbreaks were reported and associated indoor environmental issues. Results: Three hundred and eighteen outbreaks with three or more cases were identified, involving 1245 confirmed cases in 120 prefectural cities. We divided the venues in which the outbreaks occurred into six categories: homes, transport, food, entertainment, shopping, and miscellaneous. Among the identified outbreaks, 53.8% involved three cases, 26.4% involved four cases, and only 1.6% involved ten or more cases. Home outbreaks were the dominant category (254 of 318 outbreaks; 79.9%), followed by transport (108; 34.0%; note that many outbreaks involved more than one venue category). Most home outbreaks involved three to five cases. We identified only a single outbreak in an outdoor environment, which involved two cases. Conclusions: All identified outbreaks of three or more cases occurred in an indoor environment, which confirms that sharing indoor space is a major SARS-CoV-2 infection risk.

When reality and truth become the sworn enemies of society’s political and economic elites, the society is well and truly doomed.
The risks of Covid-19 and the lockdown have been explored across a wide spectrum of opinion. To hit just a few of too many to count:
— Permanent loss of civil liberties under the guise of “pandemic controls.”
— Failure of control measures to limit the pandemic in any sort of economically manageable manner.
— Schemes for ID Cards identifying those with antibodies may fail as immunity might be fleeting, or low antibody counts may not confer immunity.
These visible risks arise directly from the pandemic and efforts to control it, but the reasons why the economy won’t recover were in force long before the pandemic:
1. Unsustainable dependence on expanding debt to fund consumption as earned income stagnated.

3. The economy-wide creation of self-serving simulations of trust, credibility, transparency and accountability as substitutes for actual trust, credibility, transparency and accountability.
This ceaseless spew of simulacra to cloak self-serving corruption is hidden from view lest the truth–that authentic trust, credibility, transparency and accountability have been dismantled because they inhibit the profiteering and exploitation of insiders and elites– undermine the entire status quo.
And so “success” (as in maximizing profits) in America is now a game of creating believable facsimiles of what was once authentic. Like all mammals, humans retain a sixth sense–commonly referred to as the “sniff test”, i.e. something doesn’t feel right–and so the simulacra are only partially successful in making us believe institutions are trustworthy, credible, transparently operated and governed in a way that enforces accountability.
As a result, the more all our dominant institutions press their claims of legitimacy, the more they erode their legitimacy.
We sense all of these facsimiles are false, but are powerless to uncover the actual machinery of corruption. We are forced to rely on insiders who release the actual processes to the public, and these whistleblowers are hunted to the ends of the Earth (Assange, Snowden, et al.) because their revealing how the status quo actually functions is the most dangerous force the status quo faces.
This requirement to hide the truth lest it collapse all the skims, scams, frauds, rackets and insider plundering and pillaging is the Monster Id of America.

CLO Update: 10% May Stop Paying Because of Collateral Markdowns
(Bloomberg) — More than 10% of U.S. collateralized loan obligations are now at risk of cutting off cash payments to holders of their riskiest portions amid a surge in downgrades among leveraged loans backing the securities, according to analysts at Nomura Holdings Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co.
About 13% of portfolios failed their so-called junior overcollateralization tests in April, based on a Nomura analysis of roughly 750 CLO deals where payment data was available. Wells Fargo said in a note Thursday that 11% of those it analyzed didn’t pass, and more than half are exceeding standard caps that limit CCC rated loans they can hold to 7.5% of the portfolio, while about 14% breached Caa limits.
CLOs have a battery of monthly compliance tests used to determine payouts to investors of varying levels of priority. But as downgrades to leveraged loans continue to pile up amid the coronavirus pandemic, many managers are now overburdened with more low-rated debt than typically allowed. That’s forcing them to either dump poor performing loans at fire-sale prices, or potentially cut interest payments to investors.
“Rating agencies are being much more aggressive in downgrading loans to CCC versus during the financial crisis, and that could result in higher levels of OC breaches,” said Steven Oh, global head of credit and fixed income at PineBridge Investments. “Some of the OC failures are likely to extend even higher up the capital structure.”
While most of the OC test failures were for the riskiest equity portion and lower-rated debt tranches, there have already been a handful of breaches at the AA level, and at least one at the AAA level.

That said, today’s chart highlights a significant overhead price hurdle for both large and small cap stocks.
The S&P 500 Index is approaching at key pivot point level at (1) as well as its 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement at (2). This confluence of resistance looks very important.
The same can be said for the Russell 2000 Index. It is approaching an important pivot point marked by prior highs and lows at (1), as well as its 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracmeent at (2). Again, very important.
