BANZAI7 NEWS–For the second time in recent months, a giant sea creature has washed ashore in California. First it was a rare oarfish that had grown to a freakish 100-foot length. This time it was a giant squid measuring a whopping 160 feet from head to tentacle tip.

These giants look different but experts believe they share one important commonality: they both come from the waters near the Goldman Sachs Toxic Asset Plant in the Buttfuk District of Lower Manhattan.

Scientists believe that following the 2008 disaster at the Goldman Toxic Asset Plant an unknown number of trading creatures suffered genetic mutations that triggered uncontrolled growth – or “radioactive gigantism of the risk scrotum.”

Traffic study, cart paths top PTC council agenda

Being down one councilman didn’t slow the Peachtree City Council down during its “goals and objectives” workshop all day Thursday.

The absence of Eric Imker was nearly an afterthought as council brainstormed a number of goals to shoot for in the coming months and up to two years in the future.

One thing that may be addressed sooner rather than later is the idea of a city-funded corridor traffic study of Ga. Highway 54 West, which is the city’s main choke point for commuters and even at times on the weekends.

Coweta preparing fix for traffic-choked junction of U.S. 29, Ga. 16 and Pine Rd.

The intersection of Pine Road, Ga. Highway 16 and U.S. Highway 29 near Interstate 85 and just up the road from the fairgrounds has long been a point of traffic congestion. But not for long.

The days of clogged traffic are numbered and, with the approval of the final right-of-way acquisition by the Coweta County Commission on Jan. 7, initial construction work to realign the intersection is expected to begin in the summer and be completed in January 2015.

Winter visits City Hall for a couple of days

The fountain at Peachtree City Hall earlier this week presented clear evidence that winter had arrived in full force. The uncustomary frigid weather kept overnight temperatures in the single digits and daytime highs in the 20s. By week’s end, temperatures had climbed back into the 50s and a fast-moving squall line dumped heavy rain on the area. Photo/Ben Nelms.

Battle over, Brown reappointed Fayette chair

There was no battle Thursday night for the chairman’s spot on the Fayette County Commission. Instead, white flags were waved by all parties involved and incumbent Steve Brown was unanimously reappointed to the post.

Brown and fellow Commissioner David Barlow shook hands on the dais and hugged it out immediately after Barlow apologized to the commission and the citizens and taxpayers of the county “for any harm or any ill will that I have brought against this commission.”

BofAML On Silver's Squeeze, The Lurching Loonie, & Treasury's Turning Trend

US Treasury yields broke down sharply Friday, confirming a near-term, potentially medium-term, turn in trend; and, as BofAML's Macneil Curry notes, this Treasury turn should prove to be a headwind for select USD pairs, (although BofAML remains bigger picture USD bulls); particularly USDJPY. However, the weakness in the Canadian USD – which was the only currency not to rally against the greenback on Friday – suggests the downtrend in the Loonie has significant legs. Precious metals – most notably silver – could also benefit from the Treasury trend change.

Via BofAML's Macneil Curry,

US 5yr yields rollover

US Treasury yields have topped and turned trend, with 5yr yields doing so in particularly dramatic fashion. The bullish reversal from 4.5yr trendline support says 5yr yields should fall another 10bps/15bps in the In the sessions ahead, with worst case potential for a re-test of long term pivot resistance at 1.22%/1.25%.

$/¥ is topping out

With Treasury yields rolling over, $/¥ is set to do the same. A break of 103.74 would confirm the bearish turn in trend. While the Head & Shoulders Top targets the 102 area, CFTC positioning and the completing 5 wave advance from Feb’12 and Oct’13 says weakness can extend to the 200d (now 99.70) and below.

$/CAD: the exception to the rule

Friday saw the US $ fall against all major currencies EXCEPT THE CANADIAN $. Indeed, $/CAD has now reached levels not seen since 2009. While we could see a near term pause or correction, weekly charts say that this trend has significant room to run, with the multi-year Head and Shoulders base targeting 1.1666/1.1841

Silver squeeze

With the US Treasury market turning and the US $ near term vulnerable, precious metals should benefit. Silver is particularly worthy of note as a break of 20.51/20.62 resistance would complete a near term base and turn higher opening further gains towards the Oct-30 high at 23.09
