CRACKS IN THE FACADE

The Manipulation Games Are Becoming Clearer for All to See

MOUNTING DISTORTIONS

Monetary malpractice of the develped economies' central banks have distorted the pricing of risk and therefore the process of price discovery. The following chart illustrates how the Federal Reserve's policy of Quantitative Easing (QE) has produced such a distorting market effect that stock prices no longer track earnings, and haven't since 2012.

GLARING WARNINGS

The signs of a global slowdown are obvious and now finally unquestioned by most analysts. Markets around the world are generally adjusting for this with the glaring exception of the US and Japan (QQE). These are the two biggest central bank "pushers" of liquidity.

The following international stock markets are presently below their 2014 highs, some very far below:

• Canada's TSX,
• London's FTSE,

• Israel's TA100,
• the Dow Jones Euro Stoxx 50,
• Emerging Markets MSEMF Index,
• the Hong Kong Hang Seng HSI Index,
• France's CAC 40 Index,
• China's Shanghai SSEC Index, and
• Australia's S&P ASX 200 Index.

In 2007 the unquestioned belief in the housing market had the same hold on markets and hid the realities of what was occurring. The statement everyone was citing to justify higher housing prices; "They aren't making any more land are they?" suddenly went quiet! The same tell tales are showing again.
