Fed Pauses, 10-Year Breaks Out, & The Vax Damage Trade
 PREVIEW
by davefairtex

As the “markets guy”, my job is to ask: “So what’s the trade?” Consider banks.  Given how shaky the banks are right now given the 500 bp move in yields that has caused all those “unrealized losses,” then add to that these banks most likely force-vaxxed their employees.  How do we think that might play out? But this won’t just hit the banks.   It will hit a wide range of corporates and ultimately confidence in government.

There were three important economic reports this week: Retail Sales (RSXFS): -0.59% month over month, prior +1.29% m/m. Negative, especially the month before Commercialized Christmas. Industrial Production (INDPRO): -0.22% m/m, prior +2.45%.  Negative. Consumer Price Index (CPIAUCSL); +0.10% m/m, prior +0.44%. Falling energy prices are mostly responsible for the decline.

The Vital Connection Between Oil and The Economy Revealed in Two Simple Charts

There’s a huge, glaring defect at the core of our financial and economic system, and it’s sitting in plain sight.

The U.S. Government is facing an impossible financial future. The Doom Loop has been activated. It’s a death spiral that ends with the destruction of the U.S. dollar or a depression so bad it might as well be called Dark Ages II. This is what happens at the tail end of decades of really piss-poor…

In Part I of Episode 81, I laid out the constellation of techniques I use to parse through our overly complicated world. Here, I cover my thinking that the central banks are now facing a stark choice; either rescue the “markets” one more time at the expense of the massively higher inflation (and the quicker…

65 Billion Pound Solvency Problem and The Hybrid War Explained
by davefairtex

The big market-moving news this week – as you probably know by now – was the solvency problem in the leveraged UK pension funds. (Leveraged? Pension funds???) The UK pension funds were holding UK sovereign debt, the price of which has been plunging (due to rising rates), which wouldn’t normally matter (just hold until maturity,…

This one will be the largest ever and could possibly result in damage so profound it never really…

Just got my result that I’m C19 positive.
I work at a mining camp in northern BC where I shared a bathroom with a guy (double injected) that was coughing for days and then tested positive. They got me to do a rapid test which was negative but I was feeling OK at that time.
Got home and started feeling...
