think tank has warned so this is the help to buy scheme and it's this is an article in the telegraph otherwise known as the tory graph so even they are saying that george osborne is helped by a scheme whereby the government is using taxpayer money to subsidize twenty percent of the cost of these new build so that the population who are buying these only need to come up with a five percent deposit now that consultant group that did this fathom consulting they're all ex bank of england economists and they say help to buy is a reckless scheme that uses public money to incentivize the banks to lend precisely to those individuals who absent the scheme would not and should not be offered credit had we been asked to design a policy that would guarantee maximum damage to the u.k.'s long term growth prospects and its fragile credit rating this would be it said andrew brigden the chief economist that ok was born housing scheme relies on new entrants into the scheme who would otherwise not be eligible to be in that scheme by lowering the standards to allow people to get on the so-called propert

scheme now some may argue that it's not a ponzi scheme and those people would be wrong well the telegraph does ask their audience what their thoughts are on the help to buy scheme and as you see from this chart here twenty two point five two percent do you agree with george osborne that it is a good idea people who think it's a bad idea seventy seven point four percent so there are always twenty two percent that agree with whatever policy just like those girlband the economic conditions on the streets of japan they are totally for the economic policies assertions so i was thinking perhaps to sell it to the u.k. better than just getting these twenty two percent who support george osborne's you know help to buy scheme he needs economic conditions on the streets of london band fix my property price depreciation quantitative. he's saying forget about public investment just stick with money printing construction bonds and free money let's just revise the laws of supply and demand. let's get johnny rotten on the show stop doing those butter commercials come on this show and sing this new song a

it's getting a little too telegraphed for me. we had a conference call this morning and i felt negative. i sold my apple, sold my google. i felt it was too telegraphed at this point. i think there's room to the upside. i don't feel like i have the brains to pick a top here. >> we had outperformance in the nasdaq today without apple which grasso sold. >> yeah, apple was down most of the day. closed down 85 by. the nasdaq was up 1.75%, versus the s&p, up 1.1%. you've seen the rotation. industrials have done well here. but to me, the main story is the slope, the assent here is getting steep. from the lows last month -- >> like a broken record dan nay than. >> really? >> you're the constant bear. >> i'm not a constant bear. >> yesterday, you saw ben bernanke hints he takes his foot all the pedal and the market sold off. first time the market went red -- >> grasso that's the story. complexly agree with steve here. let's keep in mind a couple of things. the big trend that none of us are talking about as we hit new highs is this deterio

bottom the worst price in decades so here you have the market doing something similar they're telegraphing it's for self they're killing the price and people are jumping on there and dumping it ahead of time or do you think well this is these a diversionary tactics if you look at brown's gold so. i honestly think that we have to look at it in a broader perspective there must have been gold liabilities but could only have been settled boy physical gold coming on to the market because you have to remember that the majority of gold trade is still go that was mined a very long time ago you know fifty fifty percent of turnover is go into the already here not go into that we've just got out of the grown up so physical new fresh gold on to the market most of only being to satisfy. gold denominated oberg asians not dollar denominated obligations they would go gold in nominated or big asians which were being snapped up at the price and the only thing that would have settled it was physical gold so i don't mock the bottom against biotic strange you know obviously it took a bit of time but it did alr

the lowest price on their cells this is very reminiscent of brown's bottom remember gordon brown telegraph that he was selling a large quantity of hundreds of tonnes of britain's gold he told the market in advance people were front running that trade and it came down to two hundred fifty dollars an ounce as people got in there and it ended up with brown's bottom the worst price in decades so here you have the market doing something similar there telegraphing it's for self they're killing the price that people are jumping on there and dumping it ahead of time what do you think well this is these are diversionary tactics if you look at brown's goal so. i honestly think that we have to look at it in a broader perspective there must have been gold liabilities but could only have been settled boy physical gold coming on to the market because you have to remember that the majority of gold trade is still gold that was mined a very long time ago you know fifty fifty percent of turnover is go into the already here not go into that we've just got out of the ground so physical new fresh gold on the m

wrong, says the telegraph saying the 30-year miracle is nearing exhaustion. months flat? the site, still a waste land. local governments that made the boasts are, quote, out of control, a quote from the chinese, not the telegraph. member the towns full of unoccupied fancy homes? empty. remember the stunning growth rates? the statistics were, quote, manmade, and that's according to none other than prime minister lee. this is serious stuff. the telegraph says they've been making it up, cooking the books, controlling the media to clamp down on the truth, desperate to stay in power. i don't know whether or not china's $7 trillion economy catching up with america's $16 trillion economy, but i know things about trust, and the tell gaffe's headlines says we captain trust china's boasts or pontiffs who think america's in terminal decline. the wright brothers became the first in flight.

volatility from telegraphing nervousness anything to get people thinking twice about stocks they're going to keep those things kind of muffled and down your thoughts you're right the volatility index is what it would have stands for that was created i think in one thousand nine hundred three and it if you push that price down artificially or somebody pushes that price down the way that it's hedge is by coming in and buying the outright s. and p. five hundred so people are going to buy stocks against it's going to push people into the stock market and make stock prices go higher if we look at what's been going on a stock market since the one nine hundred eighty one i mean we've had it in incredibly bull market i think it's an increase of one thousand nine hundred forty percent or something like that. two thousand and seven through two thousand and nine so a record spikes in volatility we had big ups and big downs and big ups and big downs now that's been neutralized so what my point here is why is there are two thousand percent increase because the margin on each one of these contrac
