Will there be an overshoot to the all time high of ¥79.5? Looking at the fundamentals, you would not pick Japan to possess one of the world’s most virile currencies. The reason is simple: the fundamentals are so poor, that no one owns the yen, and therefore, can’t sell it. Central bank holdings of the Japanese currency have been plummeting for years. Japan’s notoriously anemic long term growth rate of a minuscule 1% hasn’t exactly seduced managers to pack their portfolio with yen assets. (FXY), (YCS).

Zero Hedge: Observations On Deteriorating Credit Card ABS Trends
As recent scary results out of American Express and other credit card companies demonstrated only too well, it is but a matter of time before consumers decide to not make any more credit cards payments at all. Credit card portfolios, along with pretty much every other security over the past 5 years, got securitized to an insane degree, with subsequent splits into loss tranches (e.g., AAA, A, BBB, etc). What is (or should be) becoming a prevailing concern, is that the increased level of payment delinquencies and outright non payments will have mounting adverse impacts on credit card asset-backed securities and on holding bank ...

Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae related to this date have been proposed, but none have been accepted by mainstream scholarship. A New Age interpretation of this transition posits that during this time Earth and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation , and that 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era. Others suggest that the 2012 date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe. Scenarios posited for the end of the world include the Earth's collision with a passing planet (often referred to as " Nibiru ") or black hole , or the arrival of the next

That’s how we began these 5 Minutes on April 19, in the wake of the SEC’s civil complaint against Goldman Sachs. As we put it then, “The SEC is either stupid or corrupt for announcing their suit on options expiration Friday, the most volatile day of the month.” That’s because if you’d been lucky enough to hold April 170 Goldman put options that day, you could have made 140,000%… as we showed in this chart.

which as recently as a year ago was claiming it is in phenomenal health. Curiously, Idearc notes that "it does not need nor intend to obtain debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing during the reorganization, as the Company maintains substantial cash balances and continues to generate positive cash flow, and has reached an agreement on use of cash collateral." Not even bankruptcy can subdue Idearc's optimism - the company will be surprised just how quickly its cash balance will disappear once all those legal bills start flowing in.

There's a reason economics is called the dismal science, and weeks like this just give it further meaning. In economics, there is what you see and what you don't. This week we are going to examine the headline data we all see and then take a look for what most observers do not see. Then we'll try to think about what it all really means. With employment, housing, and the ISM numbers, there is a lot to cover. And this letter will print out longer than usual, as there are a lot of charts. Warning: remove sharp objects from the vicinity and pour yourself your favorite adult beverage. This does not make for fun reading.
