| Will Wednesday's Fed Minutes Spark Sell-Off? |
| Since the S&P 500 made an intraday low of 1,536 on April 18, the widely-followed
stock index has tacked on 130 points and the markets have migrated back to
full-bore risk-on mode.
Wednesday Winddown?

profits:

Fed minutes are due to be released.
There appears to be little evidence to suggest Bernanke will drift from his

Glimpsing the Hereafter 2  |
| In this, my 400th post, I will peer into the future, to the Freegold revaluation and beyond. But I do not have an actual crystal ball. All I have is logic and reason, and a little help from Another and FOA. So to quote FOA, "If you came with a notion that I am someone who sees the future, grab the children and run far away." But if you came bearing your own logic and reason, then perhaps you will find this post useful. :D

| Theory of Interest and Prices in Paper Currency Part II (Mechanics) |
| In Part I (http://keithweinereconomics.com/2013/04/22/theory-of-interest-and-prices-in-paper-currency-part-i-linearity/),
we looked at the concepts of nonlinearity, dynamics, multivariate, state,
and contiguity. We showed that whatever the relationship may be between prices
and the money supply in irredeemable paper currency, it is not a simple matter
of rising money supply → rising prices.
Here is a fitting footnote for Part I. I just bought a pair of Levis jeans

| Interest Rates Manipulated to Hide Risks |
| By Philippe Herlin - Researcher in finance / Contributor to Goldbroker.com
After the LIBOR scandal, are we witnessing the ISDAfix scandal? This time it’s not about interbank lending rates, but rather about interest rates for swaps. It is estimated that the ISDAfix is active in a $380,000Billion market, just about the same size as LIBOR... and it appears that it, too, is manipulated! The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is enquiring on the matter.
Whether it’s LIBOR or ISDAfix, raTuesday, May 14, 2013 |

| Really Real Rates vs. Gold |
| Quantitative easing and zero rates haven't worked. So let's have much more of 'em, eh...?GOLDattracts investment capital when other asset classes fail to deliver.So now equities have clearly regained their appeal after more than a decade of what finance professionals would rather we called "sub-optimal" returns, gold investing has lost its urgency for money managers. Indeed, it's become a neat little "short" to trade against whilst picking the next winner in the S&P's all-time high dash.More telMonday, May 13, 2013 |

| German Export Machine Hits Skids; Imbalances Intensify: Exports Drop 4.2% YoY, Imports Drop 6.9% YoY |
| Eurozone imbalances continue to grow even as German exports slump. Why? German imports slumped even more, and the German current account surplus grew.
Via Mish-Modified Google Translate from Les Echos, please consider Germany's Export Machine Slumps in March.
The German trade surplus grew in March for the third consecutive month in raw data (to € 18.8 billion after € 16.8 billion in February) detailed figures released Friday, yet the report shows much weakness.
