Madrid Mass Mayhem……………Evil Plan 87.0 (by BDI)
Editor's Note: BDI usually offers up his Evil Plans on Sunday, but given the extraordinary events happening in Spain, he has produced a bonus post today. Please note some of the images are disturbing, which is why I am deliberately putting a page break here in case you would rather not see them. Also, in case you missed it earlier, please note the new video post I did after Tuesday's close – Tim
The Four Macro Horsemen of the Apocalypse……Evil Plan 85.0 (by BDI)
The gloomy galloping global marco monetary picture of our times has been discussed ad infinitum at this point, and four deft distinctly defined models have now clearly emerged, laying out the most probable route taken to our ultimate unenviable dystopia. These dreaded dire dangerous paths have been best championed by the following fabulous forecasters; David Stockman, Jim Rickards, John Maudlin & Ray Dalio. I have dubbed them the four macro horsemen of the coming apocalypse. Out of the furious fab four, only Ray Dalio riding the dark horse on the right, handily holding a weighing balance dubiously dangling in mid air, believes we could possibly avoid a dooms day debacle. Although even he has warned that it is a painful perilous long winding road we travel down, full of potential precarious pitfalls.

I have to hand it to captain grey beard, for a guy with a curiously quivering lower lip, who seems so utterly unsure of himself every time he opens his moronic mouth, he sure does have some pair of ballistic brass balls. Not only did he delivered on his QE3 promise, but he actually turbo charged it into a terrifying trifecta! Boatswain BDI was left for dead, desperately drowning in a sea of red DOOMs. So now that Moby Dick has breached and surged the equity waves to new highs, where do we sail from here?
Cardinal Krout Court Kabosh……………Evil Plan 81.0 (by BDI)
Well, my fellow Slope-a-Dopes, here we are precariously perched like racecar red cardinals contently chirping away on towering tree tops. Will we boldly soar to new heights into the red, white & blue yonder, emulating the magnificent majestic bald eagles we once were? Is American exceptionalism going to unfold its fantastic feathers in all their spectacular splendor, like a proud peacock strutting its stuff down the captivating catwalk? No way…..no how, you dubious demented dodo birds! Look up at the sick sinister sky silly! What you are seeing is a gaggle of grey geese heading south for the Winter. Brace yourselves for an awful Autumn, as the black swan is about to make her long awaited rabid grim reaper reappearance. The only question that remains is which rotten bastard big bird egg will she be hatched out of? Let us examine the sulfur smelling stench of one such possibility:
