FED Getting Backlash
It appears the Fed is getting tons of back lash for raising rates.
But what the reality is - is that rates must go up to remove all the (toxic) funny money out of the system.
Apparently most people including those within the access to the markets are illusional to the the truth that the Fed has to raise rates it has been over 10 years. Now get over it.
The point is expect your interest payments to go up on your debt unless you pay it off now.
deflation is natural and we are 15 years overdue since 2001.
Now the pain could be greater.

Why the main stream media -
Is not going to tell you the whole truth.
Because they are paid to tell you what they are paid to tell you.
Do you think about how much the news anchor gets paid to regurgitate the paperwork on their desk.
Okay they have a family.
Do you think they are going to tell you the news the way they see it or well thought journalist would do it.?
If they broke ranks do you think they would have a job?
Do you think the news anchors really put they're speech together with they're own complete thought?
Heres todays main stream news:
Local shootings, murders, man hunts, cancer survivor, tributes, medical, drug/sympttom-cure, weather, sports, closing celebration & good night.

All Said and Done
There will come a time when all that is said is done and during the aftermath people that have warned (the public) of grave danger will be wanted for not telling others because the majority will finally wake up when it is too late and realize why didn't anyone tell me sooner to which my reply is why did you refuse to listen and take responsibility for your life and well being when you have the ability and well informed opportunity to prepare for the worst.
Take responsibility for your self.

How Currencies Affect Beer sale profits
An interesting piece with Anheueser Busch and how their profits have been drained by volatile currencies and the derivatives markets even though volumes in sales are higher.

AB InBev Profit Hit by Currencies

AB InBev Profit Hit by Currencies
Anheuser-Busch InBev NV on Friday reported lower profit and revenue for the third quarter, dragged down by currency fluctuations, even as its beer-sale volumes edged higher.
The Belgium-based brewer's struggles in the U.S., its largest and most profitable market, continued with sales to retailers dropping 2.1%. Its top-selling beers, Bud Light and Budweiser, have lost favor with consumers opting for more flavorful craft beers like India pale ales.
Overall, revenue fell 7.1% from last year's third quarter to $11.38 billion, largely as a result of the weakness of the Brazilian real, Mexican peso and the euro. A 45% drop in profit to $1.38 billion also reflected a $585 million loss on derivatives used to hedge the price of shares it distributes as compensation to employees.
Stripping out currency impacts, revenue climbed 7.9%, and AB InBev turned in a particularly strong performance in Mexico. Those results, along with a dividend increase, helped shares close up 1.2% in Brussels on Friday.
The company is working to complete a proposed $104.2 billion takeover of SABMiller PLC, the world's No. 2 brewer. AB InBev wants to tap into SABMiller's strength in Latin America and Africa to further its strategy of turning Budweiser, Stella Artois and Corona into global beer brands that rival soft drinks like Coca-Cola and Pepsi in their ubiquity.
Beer has historically been a local business with the bulk of volume coming from local brands, but AB InBev has been steadily increasing sales of Budweiser in markets including China and Brazil.
The brewer's total volumes in the third quarter rose 1.5%, driven largely by Stella Artois, Budweiser and Corona, which increased volume 12% during the period.
Asked on a call with analysts about the opportunity for those brands in Africa and Latin America, AB InBev Chief Executive Carlos Brito said: "We believe this is a great portfolio to go and conquer the world.…We believe beer has been a very local-type business different than any other consumer goods out there, so we think there's an amazing opportunity for us to drive three global brands."
Buying SABMiller would help AB InBev contend with slumping beer demand in some developed markets, especially in the U.S. and Brazil, two regions that have made up roughly half of the company's sales. That trend isn't likely to let up, with U.K. beer-research firm Plato Logic estimating that the global beer market will shrink this year for the first time in 30 years.
Mr. Brito called the company's third-quarter performance in the U.S. "disappointing" and said officials are working on new marketing and packaging for Bud Light. The company hired Wieden + Kennedy as the brand's new advertising agency in July and will release new ads next year. Mr. Brito added that the brand "could be better managed."
In Brazil, the company's second-largest market, AB InBev reported a 3.5% increase in beer volumes, albeit from a weak performance in the year-earlier quarter. High-price imports like Budweiser and Stella Artois and more expensive beers like Skol Beats Senses increased to 9% of total volume in Brazil from 6% a year ago, helping the brewer boost revenue in a market experiencing its deepest economic downturn since 2008.
In Mexico, AB InBev's volumes rose 12% behind strong sales of Corona, Victoria and Bud Light. Mr. Brito said the company is trying to boost sales of Bud Light in the market, where the brand costs about 50% more than domestic beers. Stronger sales of Bud Light in Mexico could also boost demand for the brand among U.S. Hispanics.

You won’t hear this on CNBC.
For some perspective on the long-term performance of the stock market, today’s chart presents the Dow priced in another global currency — gold. Today’s chart illustrates how it currently takes 14.7 ounces of gold to ‘buy the Dow’ (i.e. the Dow / gold ratio) — well off the 44.8 ounces it took back at its peak in 1999. From the 1990 peak until 2011, the Dow (priced in gold) endured a massive bear market. Since 2011, gold has struggled while the Dow has continued to rally. All of this has resulted in the Dow (priced in gold) rallying in a well-defined, upward sloping trend channel. Despite this strong rally, however, the Dow (priced in gold) remains well below its 1999 peak and has just broke below support of its four-year upward sloping trend channel.

Stay Clear of being Insolvent - Manage debt - or avoid it!
In the coming economic hard times insolvency is a bad position to be in.
What that means is not having the ability to pay debts or bills.
When you look at the US Government debt they are insolvent as the payment for the huge amount of debt now covers only the interest due on the loan.
If your monthly expenses exceed your monthly income you are then close to insolvent. When you fail to make your payments due every month is when you become insolvent.
In other words it may not be a good idea to follow in the footsteps of insolvency lead by the US government.
As you pay down your debt, stay away from debt in tough economic times If you cannot afford to pay the payments due every month.
Seek positive cash flow at the same time debt is dissolved.
Before you happen to loose your job be sure you have 6-18 months of income reserved to cover monthly expenses this will keep you solvent.

The Wealth IS out There
Depending who you ask the wealth is always available.
Cash must flow.
Cash will always flow and wealth will flow with it.
Just think about what you do each and everyday with your own finances
What you buy what you save and how much you invest in.
we buy food because we must eat; we buy water because we must drink and we pay rent, a mortgage and/or/also property taxes because we want to be sheltered.
The point is that interest compounds your ability to pay more for someone else's money when mis managed and if managed properly can compound the rewards which comes to risk.
Risk is simply management of the situations that to can or cannot control the purpose is to keep the benefit in your favor.
The average person doesn't manage risk well and becomes indebted which brings us to the end if you cannot mange debt well don't go into debt.
Pay yourself first. And always.

The Last Blood Moon = War or Peace?

The total lunar eclipse, in which the moon is completely engulfed in the center of the Earth's shadow, or umbra, begins two hours later, lasting for a little more than an hour before things brighten up again.
Unlike a solar eclipse, when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, there's no need for eye protection or special equipment. Just point your eyes upward and take it in.

The Lift
A new feeling emerges in the market a feeling of enlightenment and peace of mind ; a new lift in the market means preservation of wealth is sexy.
They who preserve their wealth will be lifted above the harm and the uncertainty infiltrating the markets.
The image of a solid platform being lifted above the ground and those who prepared will be lifted and thankful they took the needed action.
It's something you can count on!
The physical above ground gold and silver will be disconnected from the price in-fact they already are based on the too little supply and the overwhelming demand the split is showing it's self in the market
delays upwards of 2 -3 months for physical deliveries are a new trend and don't get caught missing the boat because it may not come back in a very long time

When you think of how many credit cards you have what do you get?
If you think about the way business is being conducted most if not all large retailers have a credit card.
When you factor in how this can be looked at as debt for each credit transaction you may also see the expansion of credit and debt at the same time in-fact most successful retailers have a credit cards like: JC Penny, Cost Co, Walmart, Victorias Secret, Pay Pal, E-Bay, Toys R US, Best Buy, Target, Amazon.
When you look at how the tipping point and coming majority of how business is going to be done is by credit and debit cards including prepaid cards.
Less cash is being used, while more digital monies are being used in daily life.
All this has taken much time.
How long will it take to go back from currency to real money.
