"I

ZERO HEDGE
ECONOMICS
After 10 straight weeks of increasingly bullish speculative positioning
('longer' stock futures and 'shorter' VIX futures), the
last 2 weeks have seen short VIX bets
plunge at the fastest rate since pre-Brexit and the Aug 2015 crash. At
the same time as this surge to hedging, the day since The
Fed's utterly farcical fold have seen bond
volatility crash to its lowest in two years.

It's been a bad year for hedge funds as a result of significantly
underperforming the market, coupled with the biggest wave of redemptions since
the financial crisis. Unfortunately, according to the
latest Goldman data, there is no reprieve in sight. As the following chart from
David Kostin shows, both global macro hedge funds and equity long short funds
are the worst performing assets YTD on both a total return and risk-adjusted
basis.

"Since
1999 year-end through 2015 home prices have risen 76% while household mean real
income has grown less than 2%; the millennium-to-date gap between the two growth rates
peaked at 84% during 2005-2006 and has risen back to 74% as of 2015 year-end. Gap at year-end 2007 was 75%."

Eric
Peters: "In The End, Central Banking Monetary Magic Is All Nonsense, Empty
Formulas, Illusions"
The American
electorate has never been more divided with people having wide ranging opinions on which party/candidate
would be best for the future of the country. Certainly
economic and other facts help
guide those opinions but, in the end, the decision is also based on the
subjective views of each voter.
But, for Politifact,
apparently even the facts are subjective and based on
party affiliation. Take the following example:
On July 6, 2015, Bernie Sanders made the following comment about Black youth unemployment in the United States:
"For young people who have graduated high school or dropped out of
high school, who are between the ages of 17 and 20, if they happen to be white,
the unemployment rate is 33 percent. If they are Hispanic, the
unemployment rate is 36 percent. If
they are African-American, the real unemployment rate for young people is 51
percent."
Shortly after that
comment was made, Politifact
decided to "fact check"
Bernie's assertion that black youth unemployment was sky high and found that it was "Mostly
True."
The problem is that
when Donald Trump made a similar assertion at a rally on June 11, 2016, Politifact's
"fact checking"
analysis had a slightly different conclusion. But this time around Politifact
claimed that "Trump exaggerates" the level of black youth unemployment through
a "misleading use of statistics."
Politifact concludes that Trumps comments are therefore "Mostly False."
Interesting.
Both candidates were
referring to studies like the one below from the Economic
Policy Institute which attempt to find true unemployment rates based
on the number of people employed to the total population adjusted for those
still enrolled in continuing education. On this
basis, true white youth unemployment is in the mid-30s while black youth
unemployment is in the low-50s after hovering around 60% for several years.
See chart below . Just in case here the big

Politifact was able
to "recall" this study when "fact checking" Bernie but,
like Hillary in an FBI interview, they "did not
recall" the study when fact checking Trump.
We rate Politifact's fact-checking Mostly Biased.

If
Hillary Clinton’s illness had not materialized, someone would probably have had
to have made one up for her. The Democratic presidential candidate’s dramatic
drop in popularity just over the course of the last month has been attributed
to her sudden health issues and pneumonia. Of course they’re claiming that Clinton will recover and that her
extraordinary determination to keep fighting will make voters even more
sympathetic to her. The biggest US media outlets are helping her spin that.

When Dr. Lisa Bardack was asked to
become Hillary Clinton’s personal physician in 2001, it had to have been a
crowning moment in the career of the Mt. Kisco internist. Dr. Bardack could have anticipated little downside... Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton corrupts everyone who serves
her.

Saudi Arabia offered to cut its oil output to January levels, as OPEC
members seek ways to stabilize crude prices at talks this week in Algiers.“Saudi Arabia is ready to freeze production at the January
level,” Boutarfa said, calling the offer “an interesting step.” Saudi Arabia pumped a record 10.69
million barrels a day in August compared with 10.2 million in January, suggesting the Saudis are willing to cut
total output by half a million barrels.

Now the alleged attack on a
U.N. convoy are parts of a larger narrative and, no matter how much
they are debunked, confusion and distortion leave behind traces of the
narrative embedded in the mind of the consumer.
Still, it is important to point out the false narratives
where they do exist in order to deconstruct them as much as possible.
For instance, the recent hysteria over an alleged attack on a
U.N. convoy by “either Syrian or Russian jets” (because it couldn’t have been
the U.S. of course), has been used as an attempt to paint Russia and Syria as
violators of a ceasefire and states so evil that they would dare
attack the sacred U.N. who only ever provides food to hungry people and candy
to children. Yet the entire incident,
which the West is attempting to use as a political hammer, exists only through
the channels and pages of Western media. In reality, however, not so much.
