Stock Markets: VW speculations
How crazy the worldwide stock markets have become and how little effects the Trillion dollar packages, speeches and appeals of politicians had on the casino players could one more time be seen today in Germany.
Stocks of one of the worlds largest car makers, VW, rose more than 300 % with intraday peaks even higher - yes we mean it - more than three hundred percent. And some of the in-the-money call options have seen their prices increase of more than 27,000% (twenty seven thousand percent).
While car makers around the world tiptoeing along bankruptcy and demand forecasts for the next year(s) are at best catastrophic for some of them - BMW today stopped production for a few days in some of its factories and Daimler today announced that they will stop production for a few weeks later this year- the outlook for VW is anything but peachy as well.
It’s not fundamentals that are behind these price jumps, it’s plain speculation, the same casino plays like…

Germany: Bank Robbers ante portas
There was a lot of hectic movement with governments around the world the last weeks to confine the disasters from betting / wild casino speculation within financial institutions. Approaches and road maps laid out (if any) are pointing to different directions even in the key G7 developed countries.

France and the UK have taken another road and bailing out their banks by providing funds only against a collateral - meaning they are de-facto nationalizes key players in their finance industries. France even went a step further with President Sarkozy calling for the creation of national industry funds to stop the fire sales of key industrial players to overseas investors - an interesting step that found much applause with the European Parliament. If you think that further it…

Video: Interview - Naomi Wolf - Give Me Liberty
A must see 27 minute interview with Naomi Wolf - with the seemingly relaxing of rule for deploying military troops in the U.S. and other western countries (we just heard the same about Germany today) against their own citizens, we soon will all be terrorist (if not warranted otherwise) and she is warning that martial law is just around the corner.
She is also mentioning that members of congress have been threatened with Martial law if they would not pass the so-called “Bailout” plan.
Also mentioned is the change of oath of the U.S. armed forces that…

Video: Why the Bailout won’t work
This video has just been published but reality at the stock markets around the world has already been showing us how true some of these statements actually are.
The video puts the so-called 700 Billion bankers pensions and further profit plan Bailout plan into perspective with the Trillion Dollars Pentagon SNAFU, the actual size of the crisis (we have reported about that earlier) and the amounts currently being flooded into the banks / markets by the FED…
