  1. If March hike is expected (look @ ^IRX), its effect might not hit until after March opex.

  3. Ideally we get the next candidate market top right on the lovely Gail Tverberg's birthday.

    We love her. So should you.

  4. It appears Canada also has a "white supremacist" problem.

  5. You know it's coming. Most cycle nerds have us in a REAL bear market starting next year. They will want to get the sheep shaking pretty good before they fire up the next round.

  6. I like the treasury flattener trade... TLT held important support, and no follow-through on Silver

  7. BTFD opportunity coming before the debt ceiling nonsense? That got everybody all worked up in 2013.

  8. CG - you are absolutely correct - the Lunatic Fringe is definitely approaching.

    But it's been one HE- double toothpicks party 'till the end.

    There's so many of us
    There's so many of us
    There's so many
    There's so many of us
    There's so many of us
    There's so many [Repeat: x2]

    Let's have a war
    So you can go and die!
    Let's have a war!
    We could all use the money!
    Let's have a war!
    We need the space!
    Let's have a war!
    Clean out this place!

    It already started in the city!
    Suburbia will be just as easy!

    [Chorus]

    Let's have a war!
    Jack up the Dow Jones!
    Let's have a war!
    It can start in New Jersey!
    Let's have a war!
    Blame it on the middle-class!
    Let's have a war!
    We're like rats in a cage!

    It already started in the city!
    Suburbia will be just as easy!

    [Chorus]

    Let's have a war!
    Sell the rights to the networks!
    Let's have a war!
    Let our wallets get fat like last time!
    Let's have a war!
    Give guns to the queers!
    Let's have a war!
    The enemy's within!

    It already started in the city!
    Suburbia will be just as easy!

  10. Good stuff, on the "Repo Man" soundtrack.

    Here in the Seattle everyone listens to The Mentors.

  12. Thanks for the link -

    Indeed, the Clintons are a product of fiat money - and are thus able to impose policies and practices contrary to good stewardship based upon the excess inputs of fiat money.

    The Clintons would not exist without fiat money.

    Fiat money sends death and destruction throughout the World, builds Empires and is the seedcorn of their (Empire) ultimate destruction.

    The Mentors. LOL.

    It is definitely hardcore.

  13. "When denial becomes Toxic":

    http://www.economic-undertow.com/2017/03/03/when-denial-becomes-toxic/#comments

    Is merely wasting space, as 4 words could be compressed into one:

    OVERSHOOT

    NEW ECOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDINGS

    CIRCUMSTANCE: The Age of Exuberance is over, population has already overshot carrying capacity, and prodigal Homo sapiens has drawn down the world's savings deposits.

    CONSEQUENCE: All forms of human organization and behavior that are based on the assumption of limitlessness must change to forms that accord with finite limits.

    OVERSHOOT - It's here now and real.

    http://dieoff.org/page15.htm

    Those in the Priesthood of the Fed know and realize this. Their policies will only buy time - put off into the future that which can't be accomplished today.

    Continue to play the market - because when the music ends - you won't have a chair to sit down on.

  16. Coupla' weeks? Run your analysis on our good friend UVXY, David.

    ^irx at .71 today all you need to know re March FOMC. The reaction will be muted, and the market will make it through March opex.

    Good luck after that, though.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Will UVXY break the 52 week low today?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Soon, I think.

    But do notice how the daily lower BB for UVXY has flatlined for several weeks now in the $18.50 range, which may buoy it if people pick it up as a hedge into FOMC etc next week.

    ^IRX opening at .75 this morning tells you that our 3rd hike is guaranteed next week. I'd like to think we can make it up to 2440 on the S&P by then, the top edge of a couple of channels on my chart.

  19. VIX finally over 12. If we can get past 13 we might actually get some selling.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Treasuries weak even with equities down recently, and now, not even with the Euro up!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Anyone willing to make the crazy call that Janet won't raise?

    ReplyDelete
  22. ^IRX says no way.

    I imagine the market would be euphoric on said announcement, at least for a couple of days.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Can we FINALLY get that 5% correction I called for the first quarter? My very fragile ego would sure appreciate it.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Um.
