US shale frackers eye world conquest despite bloodbath
Reply
Dozens of indebted US shale companies face annihilation over coming months as their hedge protection runs out and creditors pull the plug, but veteran frackers insist defiantly that the slump will not stop the industry's march to world conquest.
"What is happening scares the heck out of you. We're going to see a decimation for the industry, with bodies and corpses all over the place," said Mark Papa, the former head of EOG Resources.
"Lower for longer, is starting to feel like the Great Depression. You run for cash. You ride out the storm."

"It is probably a three-year process and we're in the middle of it. The impact on investment has been devastating," he told the IHS CERAWeek summit of energy leaders in Houston.
"Our activity is at a bare minimum, and we're just preserving our operational capability. We had 17 rigs two years ago, eight last year, and now we're running two. Very few things make sense at $30. It�s better to leave the oil in the ground,� he said.

dc CB 17:41 / I recently received a new replacement ATM card.
Reading the fine print I read that it is now an ATM and a Debit card.
That is a mean major difference. Along with the Debit feature comes a "benefit" - an automatic $100 overdraft protection. Peddled as if to make e feel "as a somebody" (credit to marketing dept). At an interest and fees cost, naturally. I called to inquire about the "mistake" but was told it is the only version of an ATM card now. That they have my convenience at heart - why should I be deprived of a purchase should my account be 1 or 5 dollars short to make a purchase and be (embarrassingly?) declined ?! What a stroke of genius - for the bank(s) to juice fees and interest wont you agree ?
All the more reason to BoD Visa / M-card etc. instead of whine whine.

Forex Analytics and Forecasts from R.Butko,

Forex Forecast for 29 February - 4 March 2016
First, a review of last week�s forecast:
- the vast majority of the analysts and graphical analysis on D1 predicted a fall for EUR/USD, which happened, and the pair shed more than 200 points during the week;
- the prediction of 40% of the experts and graphical analysis that GBP/USD should bounce down from resistance at 1.4400 proved right. However, under the influence of the news about the UK�s EU membership referendum, instead of entering a sideways trend, the pair easily broke support at 1.4200 and crashed, finishing the week around the lows of 2001 and 2009;
- the forecast for USD/JPY panned out almost 100%. According to it, the pair was supposed to go down to support at 110.70, then shoot up to 112.55 and then even higher, ultimately targeting 115.00. In reality, the pair fell to 111.04, reversed upward, tested resistance at 112.55, broke through it on the second try, turning it into support, and soared up to 114.00;
- graphical analysis on H4 and the indicators on H4 and D1 were right about USD/CHF moving in a sideways channel for some time. At the same time, in line with the general trend to regain its position above 1.0000, the pair made several attempts to break through the top boundary of the channel, and it was able to consolidate just above 0.9960 by Friday evening.
Forecast for Coming Week
Generalizing the opinions of several dozen analysts from leading banks and broker companies as well as forecasts based on various methods of technical and graphical analysis, the following can be said:
- the forecast for EUR/USD for March remains unchanged � first, the pair should break through support at 1.0800 and then at 1.0700, reach the bottom around 1.0500 and try to recover losses by returning to the current level of 1.0930. This scenario is supported by 54% of the experts, 90% of the indicators and graphical analysis on D1. As for the coming week, 70% of the analysts expect the pair to bounce up and temporarily return to 1.1066-1.1150. The remaining experts are split evenly � 15% for a fall and 15% for a sideways trend;
- all the indicators on H4 and D1 point downward for GBP/USD. The analysts� opinions are divided, with the bulls having an edge � 50% vote for a rise and 40% for a drop. According to graphical analysis on H4 and D1, in the next few weeks, the pair will still try to reach the low of 2009 at 1.3500, after which it will return to resistance at 1.4080. With this said, graphical analysis on H1 elaborates that before going downward, the pair may rise a bit and reach 1.3910;
- in their attempt to predict USD/JPY�s movement, both experts and indicators are quite neutral, with somewhat bullish sentiment. Graphical analysis agrees with them overall � USD/JPY should first rise to 114.50 (or even to 115.00) and only then go down to support at 112.55;
- as for USD/CHF, 65% of the experts tend to believe that after reaching the key level of 1.0000, the pair will rebound to another strong level of 0.9800 and only then move up again to 1.0200-1.0300. This is echoed by the indicators and graphical analysis, the latter drawing support 100 points higher at 0.9900.

When Daniel Nadler woke on Nov. 6, he had just enough time to pour himself a glass of orange juice and open his laptop before the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its monthly employment report at 8:30 a.m. He sat at the kitchen table in his one-bedroom apartment in Chelsea, nervously refreshing his web browser � Command-R, Command-R, Command-R � as the software of his company, Kensho, scraped the data from the bureau�s website. Within two minutes, an automated Kensho analysis popped up on his screen: a brief overview, followed by 13 exhibits predicting the performance of investments based on their past response to similar employment reports.
Nadler couldn�t have double-checked all this analysis if he wanted to. It was based on thousands of numbers drawn from dozens of databases. He just wanted to make sure that Kensho had pulled the right number � the overall growth in American payrolls � from the employment report. It was the least he could do, given that within minutes, at 8:35 a.m., Kensho�s analysis would be made available to employees at Goldman Sachs.
In addition to being a customer, Goldman is also Kensho�s largest investor.

But what she learned was even more distressing: Every time she overdrew her checking account, Citigroup was lending her money at 18.25 percent ......Citigroup extended the loan in $100 increments, even if she was short by only $35.
And in one month, Citigroup withdrew the loan payment two days after the due date the bank itself had set. For this, Citigroup collected an additional $25 for the late payment.

Angelina Lemus was puzzled. She had no idea why every month as much as $96 was disappearing from her Citibank checking account.
Months later, Ms. Lemus finally figured out the mystery � or at least part of it. Citibank was taking out the money to pay a loan, with an interest rate of 18 percent, that was devised to cover the shortfall every time Ms. Lemus overdrew her checking account.
The problem was that Ms. Lemus, a home health care worker from Queens, said she never signed up for the line of credit and was unaware that she was borrowing from it every time her account dipped below zero.
In all, Ms. Lemus had amassed $3,400 in debt � a tangle of interest, principal and other fees that have damaged her credit.

The question at this point is twofold: what happens after the savings of ordinary depositors in the bank officially taxed and/or cash becomes phased out, and more importantly, what happens just before.
In other words, will there be a run on physical cash?
The truth is that if society panics and there is a full blown rush out of existing electronic bank deposits and into physical currency to avoid negative rate taxation, only those who panic first will be safe. Why? Because of the "magic" of fractional reserve banking - there is simply not enough physical currency in circulation to satisfy all savers' claims.
what the chart above shows is that if, and when, a run on physical cash begins, there will be roughly $1 dollar in physical to satisfy $10 dollars in savers' claims, a ratio which drops to 20 cents of "deliverable" cash if the $100 bill is taken out of circulation.

Caution on FX next week...
abel- My personal Opinions-- I take this business one day at a time. Friday appeared to be a watershed session with markets taking a view that the U.S., economy might have turned. This would give the Fed the go ahead to start to tighten monetary policy. I think they will need strong confirmation in the U.S. February employment data this Friday. All I can suggest is to do what I do and watch the stock markets in the U.S. on Monday (how they perform and ultimately close.
As for JPY strength, I think its been due to the repatriation of carry trade loans. Whether that continues will depend on global equity markets as well.
Obviously the collapse of EURUSD on Friday was due to stop losses on EUR longs. I don't think traders will be aggressively setting new EURUSD shorts early next week. Watch for your key signal on Friday.

The coming week is one that will be full of key economic data, highlighted by the US Feb jobs report on Friday. This comes in a market where a risk of Fed rate hikes has been put back on the table while an ECB easing is widely anticipated. This has revived the monetary polixy divergence theme and will make markets highly senstive to economc data, especially from the U.S. The other focus remains on Brexit and see the link below to participate in our traders' poll.

BREAKING NEWS
COLUMBIA, S.C. � Drawing overwhelming support from the African-American voters who deserted her here eight years ago, Hillary Clinton won her first resounding victory of the 2016 campaign in South Carolina on Saturday, delivering a blow to Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont as their fight turns to the 11 states where Democrats vote on Tuesday.
After supporting Barack Obama in 2008, African-American voters, who will be the dominant force in the coming Southern primaries, turned out in droves for Mrs. Clinton here. They supported her over Mr. Sanders by a 5-to-1 ratio, while he won the bulk of white voters, according to early exit polling.
Mrs. Clinton assiduously cultivated the support of black voters, not least by showing her devotion to President Obama and by promising to build on his legacy. She capped off months of campaigning here with stops on Friday at a popular soul food restaurant and bakery in Charleston and a rally at a historically black college in Orangeburg, alongside black surrogates including the TV personality Star Jones and the state�s longtime representative, James E. Clyburn.
�I don�t think President Obama gets the credit he deserves for digging us out of the ditch Republicans put us in,� Mrs. Clinton said, a line she often used in South Carolina, where Mr. Obama defeated her by 29 points in 2008.
