This is a birthday party. Big
meals, man."
Ana's little summary:
Petrodollar refers to United
States dollars earned through exports of petroleum(oil).
In an effort to prop up the value
of the dollar, Richard Nixon negotiated a deal with Saudi Arabia
that in exchange for arms and protection they would denominate all
future oil sales in U.S. dollars (Wikipedia)
- Saudi Arabia refused USD as
payment 10 years ago.
- The other day $316 bn were
sucked out from Petrodollars.
- The value of dollar became
insignificant in oil trade.
- US cannot use dollars for oil
any more like before. Also the end of QE means US cannot produce
dollars any more because of the devaluation risk. For example, the
sovereign default last year, bankrupcy. Same as any other business.
If you produce too much unredeemable cheques, you go bankrupt.
Twice already under Obama.
- Anyway the same chain: desperate
for KP pipeline, dangerous.
"John, devaluated Petrodollars
will bring down dollars too. Same family, no? We are on the right
track. Daily fun is a bit different, though."
"Hope you have a big fun tonight.
Very short, remember?"
2nd Week December 2014

"Well fried beans. I can see some
of you burned your own fingers. I told you it's a lightening."
That morning, Ana sensed her
bother's existence through the screen.
'Carl, I know you are there. You
always sneered at my game. Now you are interested? You are 10 years
older than me, so I will not use B word.'
"John, I will see Mr. Bateman
today. See you later."
"Mr Bateman's itiniery: From next
Thursday: San Francisco, Sidney, Hong Kong & Dubai. He said he
would do his best to enjoy this long trip with old members of his
family."
"I will cook two sorts of fish
tonight. Mackrels and croakers."
"By the way, have you ever seen
LED flowers which blossom at night, John?"
"I wanted to marry to my brother
when I was little. He was so good. And he is still so good."
Brent crude oil fell more than a
dollar to around $68. (Reuter) Over supply. No war. The future of
petrodollars? Back to dark age.
"John, this is Carl. He is really
pissed off by oil price."
"Sorry, who is Carl?"
"He is one of my three elder
brothers."
"How do you know?"
"I feel it. More specifically. 1.
time of day. 2. his style. He is in New York. More specifically? He
is working with Morgan. Not for, with. Just look at the pulse. It's
mad. Madder than me. We used to call it Cocaine Shoot. And this is
just a little of pulling."
"When he shoots, he shoots."
Ana could hear his voice.
'Ana, you got scared? Go
home."
He was always the calmest, the
kindest brother. But when he said that, Ana went home quiet. She
got scared.
"John, this is not Carl. You see
the difference? You have no idea how much he can pull. I know
him."
"Go home. Do not make your pants
wet. Do not play with my brother."
When Carl saw Ana's future
husband, he just said,
"He is not one of us. And you know
it."
Then he left. He said he had to
realign his life. Her heart got broken. Now she was hearing him
saying ‘go, go, go…’
============================
"Do not move. Stay. Stay. Wait...
Wait for the wave..."
"I said, do not move."
"Cut."
"Ok, Ok. Keep going."
Those were the words Carl used to
use.
Time to time, he let her win like
any other old brother to his baby sister.

"63.05 dollar/barrel , -4.24%.
Scotland made a really good decision. Don't you think,
Johnny?"
"Don't call me that name."
Johnny? John was not in that
mood. His sleep was deeply disturbed. That was 2 o'clock in the
morning. 10 o'clcok in Tokyo.
Ana's homework list
1. Five year low. 2010.
Something finished or started at this year. Iraq, Afghanistan?
2. EU’s eastern members €315bn
fund. How will they invest the fund?
"Tony, Carl is messing my toys
again."
"He never did. He always tied
up your mess. I bet the same thing."
Antonio is still living in
Jerez with their parents. He became a ENT doctor like their
dad.
