There’s no path back to monetary sanity. That means more printing and more undeserved rewards to Wall Street insiders while a front of economic despair marches steadily northward through the social ranks.

Watch what they do, not what they say. Stocks are busy telegraphing the signal that ‘all is well!’ while bonds are sneaking out the back door.

The yen slices right through Japan’s defensive line at 160, housing sales slump as prices make one last push into truly insane territory and the equity “”markets”” are not behaving as if they are tethered to either economic data or geopolitical risk.
