Quantitative Tightening means that all those dollars that were thrown around the world over the past decade are now being sucked back into the US.
The old adage on Wall Street is that the market climbs the steps going up, but takes the elevator down. It certainly does.
I didn't exactly coin the term, but I'll take credit for identifying it before it existed.
Fair value is not a fail safe, doesn’t always tell you where things are going to open, and becomes useless just minutes into the day.
This is the problem with criminality. Like a cancer, if it is allowed to fester in one part of society it will, sooner or later, spread to others.
I wish it wasn’t so, but as you can see, the worlds in a bit of a mess right now and as we approach the mid-terms, I think all manner of hell is going to break loose.

It's a magical world created by the wizards of Wall Street, and, to the extent that we participate in their system by using their monopoly money and investing in their rigged markets, they will continue bending those markets to their will...
Today, I can’t think of one person I know that does NOT know someone suffering at some degree from this disease. Something’s changed folks...
...if it's a question of optics, there's no doubt that China's checkbook diplomacy is earning it more friends in Africa than Uncle Sam's gun-barrel diplomacy.
...this negotiation with the Taliban is born of desperation, not principle, and the US Empire has painted itself into a corner in Afghanistan that no amount of dollar bills is going to get them out of.
