Member: Happy Thanksgiving Eve Everyone…….
Member: Maybe The Black Swan event is actually The Burnt Turkey in the oven…lol
Member: Mr. Pool says the whole world changes after midnight tonight…
MZ: There are so many balls being juggled right now….Tonight, tomorrow, Friday or Saturday…sometime soon the whole world changes. That is absolutely certain.
MZ: More and more financial players from all levels….some of my commodity folks, bond folks….all have expectations for the coming days. Everything we have been looking for is all coming together. Just the exact timing we still do not know.
MZ: I have heard some very encouraging things about the next 4 days….but will try to vet them first….will tell you tomorrow. Banks are excited though and banking personnel believe we are very close. In a nutshell it points to the next 4-5 days for our announcements.
Member: Wouldn’t it be easier for them to release the RV close to Christmas for the Rodriguez and St. Germaine Trusts to open?
MZ: It would be easier ….but, they can release it any time……they would just need more signatories……I don’t think they are waiting for that though.
MZ: “JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo and BOA hit with negative ratings outlook as Moody’s says US government has weaker capacity to support big banks.” This is absolutely huge. This means the government and FDIC do not have the funds to bail everybody out. We were always told they were to big to fail….This may not be accurate any more.

Shafaq News/ Energy ministers of Iraq and Turkey held a meeting in Baghdad on Wednesday to discuss "oil and energy" talks as the two countries seek to resume Iraqi oil shipments via Ceyhan port after a hiatus due to legal disputes.
The meeting was held between Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs, Oil Minister Hayan Abdul-Ghani, and Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Alpaslan Bayraktar.
The two sides, according to the readout, discussed bilateral relations in the oil and energy sectors and ways to enhance cooperation in these areas.
The talks also included a meeting of officials from the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the Turkish Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources. "The meeting discussed issues of mutual interest, including ways to enhance bilateral cooperation in all areas, especially in the oil and energy sectors."
It is expected that the visiting minister will meet with other government officials during his visit to Baghdad.
Turkey halted flows through Iraq's northern oil export route after an arbitration ruling in March by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) ordered Ankara to pay Baghdad damages for unauthorized exports between 2014 and 2018.
Turkey says the pipeline is prepared for shipments to begin, but the Iraqi side insists it has not received official notification from Turkey on whether the pipeline is ready.
Turkey's closure of the Iraq-Turkey pipeline in March has collectively cost Iraq, Kurdistan's Regional Government (KRG), and oil producers a total of $7 billion in lost export revenues, the Association of the Petroleum Industry of Kurdistan (APIKUR) has previously said.
