It is no surprise to me that the stock markets are rising. The Fed has pushed more than 300B onto its balance sheet in less than two months. Almost all of which is going to it's 'Primary Dealers'. Keep that bubble inflated Fed...

U.S. Economic Outlook Less Gloomy As Dow Jones Rises: IBD/TIPP

This is why I say that 'news' is a cover for large institutions to place their trades without calling attention to the manipulation that it really is. We are required to think ahead of these institutions. The major advantage we have as small ...

There's a Dark Side to Zero-Cost Investing That Can't Be Ignored

I don't understand why some people think China doesn't want a trade deal. Doesn't every nation want trade deals that benefit themselves? I admit some deals benefit one party more than the other, but in a negotiation, there is always a weighing of ...

China says achieved consensus in principle with US in call

Indeed! I recently saw a chart of DJI overlayed ontop of actual Industrial production. It has been broken since 2012 I think it was. Huuuuge bubble.

The employment situation -- October 2019

I think you are right. But I don't think it will happen until the middle of next year. With the new stimulus and credit easing, we should get a final rally perhaps to the 30k on the DJI. After the rally I expect the dreaded correction to bite hard.

U.S. October job growth slows less than expected

It is important to realize that these numbers are as manipulated as the markets they affect. They really expect us to believe that they 'miscounted' by 44k last month??? 180k new jobs in one month is not slow growth. The Fed is cutting rates and ...

The employment situation -- October 2019

I don't think the answer is to stop a crisis while it is happening. My answer is to allow all the small crisis to happen so that the 'Big One' doesn't. Just like there are Earthquake-prone areas. Some fault lines quake often and small, while others ...

The Fed may have to do more to calm the stress in the short-term lending market

Ha! I wonder if you purposely misunderstand me??? I am not will not ever be a Marxist nor Cryptofreak... Yes! I do understand what a Deflationary spiral is... Just because I think something WILL happen doesn't mean I want it to. I don't want ...

The Fed may have to do more to calm the stress in the short-term lending market

Why not??? Is that your opinion, or did you talk to both sides and that is what they said? Never is a very long time...

US-China 'phase one' trade agreement may not be signed at Chile APEC meeting

I genuinely enjoy talking with you. I like to hear opposing ideas so that I can weigh all sides of an argument. I wouldn't think of condemning a system based on the actions/words of just one person. I did, however, do some historical research into ...

The Fed may have to do more to calm the stress in the short-term lending market

I won't defend bitcoin, blockchain has inherent flaws that disallow it from becoming widely implemented. I do think an electronic currency will supplant the dollar as the world reserve currency one day. What exactly that currency is I think remains ...

The Fed may have to do more to calm the stress in the short-term lending market

Free money for banks... Paid for by everyone holding dollars. More wealth transfer...

The Fed may have to do more to calm the stress in the short-term lending market

This will also increase the screaming of unprofitable traders as they burn through their accounts in rapid fashion... The greater fools will be forced to eat their humble pie...

Trump: we are ahead of schedule to sign phase one of US-China trade deal

If the credit bubble bursts then we will go back to high volatility trading. If you are a profitable trader this will mean increased profits since the cycles the market goes through will be swinging farther. While I don't like the prospect of ...

Trump: we are ahead of schedule to sign phase one of US-China trade deal

Hmm, voting against an election because you might not get elected seems pretty self-serving to me.

Labour's shadow cabinet agreed to abstain on election vote under FTPA tonight

I hate this kind of garbage argument! Monetary Supply growth is not REAL growth! Economists these days! Maybe they should compare their so-called growth to real purchasing power and see what that means! This article is to convince the unsuspecting ...

Federal Reserve economist says growth would have been better with negative interest rates

Why would they not approve an extension? It makes no political nor economic sense to withhold more time from the UK government. Did the UK put a hold on payments to the EU?

EU Could Approve Boris Johnson’s Brexit Extension Request by Friday

Interesting argument for more easing. But history has shown that the American people will always consume the credit they are given rather than saving. The generation of savers has been overwhelmed by the generation of spenders. That should have been ...

Could the Fed Pivot on Balance Sheet Policy for Mortgage Securities?

Ouch for the JPY...

BOJ's Kuroda: Bank of Japan must continue to ease massively

Speculation...

The Federal Reserve could soon pause in its latest rate-cutting cycle
