Turnover april 2019

This second post on the OTC Markets deals with the average volumes traded in these markets: it is quite simply delirium. This post will allow us to understand all the mechanics of these statistics having completely different input bases: Valuations in Notional Values Valuations in Gross Markets Values Valuations in Net-Net Basis At first sight, we have seen in Part I and Chart I that the volumes traded on the Foreign Exchange Market were paltry compared to those traded on the Interest Rate Market. Understanding becomes more difficult when comparing this Chart I with Chart II in Part I: the raw values melted like snow in the sun. Thanks to this new analysis of flows in April (every three years), we discover the Net-Net Basis Value which allows us to understand that these Interest Rates , Foreign Exchange Market, and Option Markets are perfectly symmetrical. In other words, neo-liberalism is using the foreign exchange market to make thousands of billions of dollars (dollar equivalents) of cash available for the sole purpose of putting states, companies and employees in competition. As this work had not been completed, I will repeat it in other forms in this section: UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD OF MONEY AND THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY SYSTEM Read the article on Google drive Views: 8

Derivates june 1998 – 2019

The first post on the State of the France in 2022 painted a catastrophic picture of the France in 2022. By the way, he did not spare his politicians and economists who do not ask themselves the right questions and are happy to wade through this mud of dogmas and small habits. With this second post, I want to bring to the French people all the reasons to believe in them: they can “turn the table” and “change things” in less than five years. What the French will discover, we will also make discover to the Italians, the Spaniards, the Greeks and all the peoples of the South: your financiers have stolen huge amounts of money from you, and you have far more powers than you think to recover them.

Part I : Politicians Absent from Real Debates

This post on the Situation of France in 2022 inaugurates a series of such notes that will be dedicated to other countries. As far as France is concerned, I personally preferred the formula: Peu de chiffres (toujours de sources officielles) Figures from our long-range mirrors (20 years – 30 years) Few words (numbers and/or charts and/or tables are enough) A lot of questions on topics that have never been raised in our media, even by those who call themselves “independent”, “participatory” and/or “investigative”. Clearly, with THREE PAGES, you will discover that the thousand-page best sellers in Economics and Finance are nothing but smoke and mirrors. You will also discover that economists, even “alternative” or “dismayed”, do not even propose to you the questions useful for a collective awareness of the choices of governance the dogmas that support them and the existential risks, taken by our senior executive officials. In other words, money and finance are taboo subjects, except for us. Read the article on Google drive Views: 5

Myths and reality. The Europe of Dogmas and Failures

This Speech on the State of the Union 2022 is symptomatic of the  mind that reigns within the Executive of the European Union because, let us not forget, the European Commission does not have the initiative of Laws and Decrees. It is the European Council that prepares the “roadmap” and writes the laws that the Commission must implement, even if, from time to time, the latter proposes its draft laws and decrees to the European Council, which may refuse them. This roadmap is described in the Maastricht Treaty   by the  forms of “powers” to which the Commission is assigned  :  “exclusive competences”,  “shared competences” and   “supporting competences”. Obviously, the presence of lobbyists is constant within the European Union and, therefore, more and more “competences” have now passed into the lap of the Commission to the detriment of national governments (and therefore peoples). There is only one exception to the rule: “the” currency and all banking and financial regulations are the exclusive responsibility of the ECB, which runs the entire European System of Central Banks of the EU-27. The Council and the Commission have no right of scrutiny over the most sensitive aspect of the economic strategy of the Member States since, as everyone knows, without money there is no policy. In other words, there is practically no point in going to vote: the financiers decide everything, for us, without even consulting us. On the other hand, the ECB and its senior officials (representatives of commercial banks and insurance groups) attend monthly Meetings of the Eurogroup (Finance Ministers) and Meetings of State Councils (Prime Ministers or Chancellors) who are invited to sign all documents which are implementing orders  for the Commission. On the other hand, Finance does not want its decisions to be “discussed” but it has obtained a prominent place in all the bodies of the European Council, especially and especially within the Eurogroup. This is where the “big decisions” to bail out the big financial players in bancassurance “in distress” and therefore by increasing national public debts are decided.  Without state aid, they would all have gone bankrupt between 1996 and 1998 and between 2006 and 2013. All of them, including central banks. This post on “The Speech of the Union 2022” dissects the myths and realities of the European Union whose President is only the spokesperson and executor of the Council, the ECB and the many lobbies. It is therefore Margrethe VERSTAGER, Executive Vice-President, who is in fact the most powerful woman in Europe (after the ECB) to defend the “founding principle” of Maastricht: free and undistorted competition (happy globalization).  The ECB is no longer content to claim “the single currency” and “the total independence of central banks”, it uses the European Union to put us in ever more debt. Without any shame or complex, Mrs von der LEYEN sells us the “great democratic and social values” of the European Union.  read the article on google drive Views: 12

Part VI: Global Risk.

This conclusion on “Overall Risk” was written on June 30, 2012. Of course, I could have remodeled it to incorporate new elements and pass for a soothsayer twenty years later. No, intellectual honesty is my line of conduct. So let you discover the reasons that pushed me to write this conclusion in 2012. Clearly, European Finance is poorly managed and, as we later quantified in online videos, it caused losses of income and financial wealth to the tune of more than 13,000 billion euros between 31/12/2008 and 31/12/2021, only in the Euro Zone. Knowing that the ECB is making rain and shine throughout Europe, this system has considerably impoverished all Europeans in the EU-27 : more than 15,000 billion euros in total. These are pure and simple losses for the populations because everything that High Finance has been able to save is now out of sight, within or outside the European Union, in financial vehicles whose holders we can no longer even identify (closed holdings). What a waste! What a Mafia! Imagine for a second all that we could have done with such sums! read the article on Google drive Views: 16

Part V: The Credit, Loan and Debt Holding Market.

The Credit and Loan Market may surprise most of our readers as they have never heard of it. A priori, they therefore think that banks are the only intermediaries between lenders and borrowers. This was true before “the new freedoms” but it is no longer true today: Banks like to lend to households for land and real estate acquisitions for two reasons: they benefit from the mortgage guarantee and central banks refinance these loans with their eyes closed. They only like to lend to large companies that are under the control of “their” boards of directors. They lend more and more money to “their” specialized subsidiaries whose purpose is to rid them of all the administration of credits and loans, most of the time in long-term rental (with or without option of redemption) and in consumer loans at rates higher than the rates allowed by the central banks. SMEs in the primary and secondary sectors are therefore “admitted” for financing operations of premises and equipment. On the other hand, banks generally refuse loans to business start-ups and companies in the tertiary sector whose “expenses” concern “expenses” in wages (brain juice) and organization (few machines). Clearly, European bankers are doing less and less “their job” of financing the real economy, and therefore European GDPs are much less favourable than American GDPs. The eurozone even manages to destroy national wealth: it is doomed. read the article on Google drive Views: 6

Part IV: The Forex Exchange and Derivatives Market in the Euro Area.  

The Foreign Exchange Market is the Financial Market that almost 20% of adults in the world identify as “the largest” Financial Market behind the Stock Exchange. In reality, this is not at all true: at European level, it is a market that has shrunk due to the disappearance of national currencies when the euro was introduced in 1999. Even on a global scale, this market is very small: it is five times smaller than the Interest Rate Market. First remark: the Eurozone does not publish any statistics on the subject. I am therefore obliged to go through the BIS statistics to show you the importance of the Eurozone in this global market. Second remark: I describe the techniques used in this foreign exchange market to carry out a multitude of operations whose purpose is not to sell or buy currencies. It’s so much more complex   than just foreign exchange transactions. In this complex market, dailyflows reach sums that the ordinary citizen cannot even “measure”: here, we are talking about daily exchanges in trillions of dollars (dollar equivalents). Third remark: the foreign exchange market is an obligatory (and practical) point of passage for High Finance that can circulate our economies at the speed of light. This post explains the foreign exchange techniques used and the hidden objectives of these operations: this is why I chose the title: “Foreign Exchange and Derivatives Markets”. you have to hang on to understand all this but, rest assured, I will come back with other tickets. read the article on Google drive Views: 6

Part III: The Market for Other Financial Securities.

Should access be prohibited of all Financial Markets To High Finance? Eurozone Should access be prohibited of all Financial Markets To High Finance? Eurozone The Other Securities Market is the largest Financial Securities Market , but the Eurozone market was practically much smaller than the US market of what statistics refer to as “outstanding”. To underline the perfidy of these “securities markets”, it is enough to note that only two “beneficiaries” benefited from them, both in the United States and in the Euro Zone: they are the States (Governments) and Finance. First remark: the Financiers and all international bodies do not like states (which they want to enslave and destroy): they therefore talk about governments (which they easily control). Second remark: companies (corporations) were very minority beneficiaries on this market  but their net inflows were five times higher in the United States than in the Eurozone. As I say in virtually all my books and notes, if states (or governments in financial language) are getting weaker and weaker, there is a reason. Indeed, governments have granted more and more aid and free pass to high finance and its affiliates, large companies. These are remotely controlled by banks, insurance groups and private “pension funds” which  occupya privileged place on all boards of directors. The boards of directors appoint the president and the general manager, responsible for finding in these companies all kinds of means to enrich the reference shareholders. Stock market prices must attract small fish that share some leftovers, left by the big shareholders who have been well informed by the directorates-general set up. For the record, a free pass is defined as: “a favor granted illegally”. Yes, our governments are complicit. You know what I mean? A stolen good (even for a very long time) is never “an inalienable private good”. read the article on Google drive Views: 8
