By now
we have shown every possible divergence between the ongoing collapse in jobless
claims (everything is awesome) as practically every manufacturing and service
economy hard data print suggests the exact opposite. So this week, we
just notice that initial claims jump over 5% this week to 260k - the biggest
weekly rise since May...probably nothing.

The
Great Recession was a result of a massive monetary policy error. The Fed
kept rates too low for too long, which - when coupled with lax or no regulation
in the mortgage markets - resulted in a housing bubble and a crash. This then bled over to global markets. We are again
suffering the effects of a massive monetary policy error. The error has already
been committed, but we have just begun to endure the consequences.

Investors "have been conditioned to believe, over and over again,
that central banks can shield them," but, as Allianz' Mohamed El-Erian
warns "the
probabilities are now starting to tip in the likelihood of a bad outcome."
Simply put, El-Erian explains that financial markets have "decoupled"
from the economic problems of the world leaving "enormous risk in public
markets because that’s the one that central banks have distorted to the
greatest extent."

The problem with being a contrarian is the determination of where in
a market cycle the “herd mentality” is operating. The collective wisdom of market participants
is generally “right” during the middle of a market advance but “wrong”
at market peaks and troughs. There
are plenty of warning signals that suggest that investors should be getting
more cautious with portfolio allocations. However, the “herd” is still supporting
asset prices at current levels based primarily on the “fear” of missing
out on further advances.

POLITICS
As most
of the mainstream media melts down today over Trump's "wait and see"
approach to accepting the election results, the bigger takeaway from
last night's debate is that "Trump needed a
campaign-altering moment, and it didn’t happen."

Regrettably for Americans,
Stein is right about the Democratic nominee. Those
concerned about the future of America with someone as erratic as Donald Trump
in the Oval Office are justified in their worry, but to believe Hillary is
somehow a “better option” is not only a naive assumption — but a reckless one. A
vote for Hillary is undoubtedly a conscious vote to go war with a
nuclear-armed superpower.

Say what you want about Donald J. Trump, but he is correct about one
thing: the Federal Reserve

Thousands
of people recently demonstrated in Brussels against free trade deals negotiated
by the EU. This happened
just days before a meeting of EU trade ministers in Bratislava last month,
which was considered the last push to salvage the Transatlantic Trade and

deal, but the talks have been extremely secretive.

While the major news
media focused on Donald Trump’s agnostic response about whether he would
respect the results of the Nov. 8 election, Hillary Clinton slipped in a
little-noticed but important revision to her call for a “no-fly zone” in Syria,
suggesting that it would be negotiated with Russia and Syria.
“This would not be
done just on the first day,” Clinton replied to a question about the military
cost and human toll that imposing a no-fly zone would require. “This would take
a lot of negotiation. And it would also take making it clear to the Russians
and the Syrians that our purpose here was to provide safe zones on the ground.”
Debate moderator
Chris Wallace noted, “General Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, says you impose a no-fly zone, chances are you’re going to get into a
war – his words — with Syria and Russia. So the question I have is, if you
impose a no-fly zone — first of all, how do you respond to their concerns?
Secondly, if you impose a no-fly zone and a Russian plane violates that, does
President Clinton shoot that plane down?”
Clinton said: “We’ve
had millions of people leave Syria and those millions of people inside Syria
who have been dislocated. So I think we could strike a deal and make it very
clear to the Russians and the Syrians that this was something that we believe
was in the best interests of the people on the ground in Syria, it would help
us with our fight against ISIS.”
Whether the Syrian
leadership and the Russian government would accept such a plan is doubtful,
since it would amount to inviting the U.S. or NATO military to establish a
beachhead inside Syria from which rebels, terrorists and other insurgents
could operate beyond the reach of military retaliation.

“For any minimally conscious American citizen, it is absolutely
evident that Donald Trump is not only facing the mammoth Clinton political
machine, but, also the combined forces of the viciously dishonest Mainstream
Media.”
-Boyd D. Cathey, “The Tape, the Conspiracy, and the Death of the Old
Politics”, Unz Review
“The election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and
distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary.”
-Donald Trump, Twitter
When was the last
time the media threw 100% of its support behind one party’s presidential
candidate? What does that say about the media?
Do you feel
comfortable with the idea that a handful of TV and print-news executives are
inserting themselves into the process and choosing our leaders for us? Is that
the way democracy is supposed to work?
Check out this blurb
from The Hill:
“The broadcast evening news programs ABC, NBC and CBS covered
allegations against Trump by several women who claim he sexually assaulted them
for more than 23 minutes on Thursday night. But revelations in the WikiLeaks
dump of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta which included…sympathy for Wall
Street, advocation for open borders and blatant examples of media collusion
….got a whole 1 minute and 7 seconds combined.”
Ratio of negative coverage of Trump to Clinton: 23:1
In print on Thursday, it was no better. The New York Times had 11
negative stories on Trump…But zero on Clinton/WikiLeaks.
Ratio: 11:0.” (Media
and Trump bias; Not even trying to hide it anymore, The Hill)
The article in The
Hill also refers to a survey by the Washington Post and ABC News that asks
participants six questions about allegations of sexual misconduct by Trump, but
zero questions about Podesta’s incriminating emails.
Is that what you call
“balance”?
