Sep 7-07 THE ROPESPINNER CONSPIRACY Bob Hoye PDF The Ropespinner Conspiracy is a novel by Michael M. Thomas, a former investment banker who writes enjoyable novels about high finance. The title relates to Lenin’s observation the “Capitalism will sell us the rope with which we hang it”. Published in 1987 the story is about a brilliant but insidious Soviet conspiracy to infiltrate the U.S. banking system and corrupt it to its own destruction. Sep 6-07
Sep 7-07 PIVOTAL EVENTS Bob Hoye PDF Signs Of The Times: A credit expansion will eventually become irresistible to the point where “everyone” is fully exposed to the hazard of falling prices. Then going the other way, when weakening prices reveal the loss of phoney liquidity, it eventually impacts all aspects of credit. The next hit on the schedule will be to long-dated treasuries and that will be another downer for the stock market. Aug 30-07
Aug 22-07 PIVOTAL EVENTS Bob Hoye PDF Signs Of The Times: Over the past week, the latter (Financial Markets) have taken another dramatic step towards a cyclical credit contraction. Despite conventional wisdom, credit contagion has disturbed two other bastions of complacency. Aug 16-07
Aug 13-07 PIVOTAL EVENTS Bob Hoye PDF Signs Of The Times: It is important to discredit (scary connotation) the very popular notion that it was “liquidity” that was driving the markets and prosperity. Actually, as history so frequently shows, the mechanism works the other way – soaring prices stimulate
leverage, which is a practical but impolite word for credit expansion.
Aug 02-07
Aug 6-07 PIVOTAL EVENTS Bob Hoye PDF Signs Of The Times: Those armed with interventionist theories rather than with the evidence of financial history seem compelled to deny a natural turn towards a credit contraction, when its time has come. Jul 26-07
Jul 30-07 BOB HOYE PDF The Unholy Trinity: Financial innovations to create credit out of thin air are always tempting but it takes a truly reckless culture to make it a tool of policy makers. Jul 23-07
Jul 16-07 PIVOTAL EVENTS Bob Hoye PDF Signs Of The Times: Last week the BIS published an overview on the financial markets that was meant to be sobering and, as belated as it is, sobriety is the usual consequence to “Rational Exuberance”. So far sobriety has been selective. Jul 5-07
Jul 9-07 PIVOTAL EVENTS Bob Hoye PDF Signs Of The Times: The notion is that with the Fed managing things “nothing can go wrong”. Ironical as it is, the resultant confidence increases the amount of risk carried. Jun 28-07
Jul 2-07 PIVOTAL EVENTS Bob Hoye PDF Signs Of The Times: This reminds of the old observation that in a contraction it can be difficult, if not impossible, even for AAA ratings to obtain loans, while in a boom it’s impossible for any credit to refuse a loan. Jun 20-07
Jun 4-07 PIVOTAL EVENTS Bob Hoye PDF Signs Of The Times: The theory and practice of policymaking over the past 100 years has been corrupt and in ascendancy only because it transfers inordinate power and wealth to the state. That this is done through relentless currency depreciation is well known. May 24-07
May 28-07 PIVOTAL EVENTS Bob Hoye PDF Signs Of The Times: The full understanding of credit and its cycles has been provided by the Austrian School of Economics. Its leading exponent has been Ludwig von Mises and some of his comments bear witness to today's one-way excesses. May 17-07
May 21-07 PIVOTAL EVENTS Bob Hoye PDF Signs Of The Times: A piece in WSJ.com on April 30 provided an outstanding review of over-employed leverage, or as it is euphemistically called – liquidity. May 10-07

Jun 5-07 PIVOTAL EVENTS Bob Hoye PDF Stock Market: Lately our theme has been that “Rational Exuberance” would conclude the bull market. Other than spoofing Greenspan’s exclamation of December 1996, the term is meant to explore the rational nature of great financial events. May 30-07
Jun 5-07 CHARTWORKS Ross Clark PDF Gold – Updated Technicals Gold is having a difficult time clearing through resistance since breaking out of the symmetrical

Apr 24-07 PIVOTAL EVENTS Bob Hoye PDF Stock Market: "The huge zoom that prompted a cluster of “upside exhaustion” readings in February continues to be the salient feature. These readings had not been seen since 1Q 2000, which then suggested the possibility of a cyclical peak for the stock market." Apr 19-07
Mar 8-07 A CLASSIC MARKET BREAK Bob Hoye PDF ...Perhaps much of the initial panic is in the markets and, while some relief is possible, the overall action seems to be on a path that in the past has led to a liquidity crisis. Mar 5-07
Mar 6-07 STOCK MARKET AND CREDIT CONTAGION ? Bob Hoye PDF The February 12 ChartWorks (below) reviewed the "Pi Cycle", which called for a spike in the leading components of the boom running up to around February 26. The key to this is the zoom and then break. Feb 27-07
Feb 27-07 PIVOTAL EVENTS Bob Hoye PDF Signs Of The Times: " After Subprime: Lax Lending Lurks Elsewhere" WSJ, February 20/07 The article reviewed some research by UBS that notes that the downturn in the sub-prime mortgage market was "marked by an unexpectedly large number of early defaults", by which borrowers stop paying shortly after getting their mortgages. Feb 22-07
Feb 27-07 PIVOTAL EVENTS Bob Hoye PDF Signs Of The Times: " The number of [residential] foreclosures jumped 18% in the last half of 2006 – with as many as 100 homes going on the block each week in both Brooklyn and Queens." The New York Daily News, February 12/07 Feb 15-07
