According
to BofA, the biggest tail risk is now a "stagflationary bond crash" -
crowded longs (Minimum Volatility, US/EU credit, long EM debt) remain
vulnerable to further jump in yields. In contrast, political rhetoric to calm
“protectionism" fears (which jumped to highest levels since 2009) would
boost risk appetite.

It is official: Trump or no Trump, foreign central banks, SWFs and virtually every
other official institution in possession of US paper, and as of this month,
private investors too, are liquidating
their Treasury holdings at a record pace.

IRS data show the average income of taxpayers leaving Illinois surpassed the average
income of taxpayers entering the
state by $20,000 in 2014, a record
loss for Illinois in the wake of the 2011 income-tax hike.

Donald
Trump’s victory sparked a tremendous sell-off in the Treasury market from
an expectation of fiscal stimulus, but more broadly, from an expectation that a
unified-party government can enact business-friendly policies (protectionism,
deregulation, tax cuts) which will be inflationary and economically positive.
It doesn’t take too much digging to show that the reality is different. The deluge of commentaries suggesting 'big-reflation' are
short-sighted.

“The
market is expecting an interest-rate hike in December, and there is no
fundamental reason for the Fed” to disappoint according to DZ Bank's Birgit Figge, and judging by the spike in

In yet
another sign that behind the frequently blasted OPEC headlines meant to suggest
a sense of OPEC unity yet which do nothing more than incite a short squeeze (as
even Morgan Stanley has now admitted), there is far less cohesion, moments ago
we learned that Nigeria's Oil minister Emmanuel Kachikwu is the latest to skip
this week's Doha meeting scheduled for November 17 and 18. He joins the oil minister of both Iran and Iraq who will
likewise skip the meeting. Oil is not happy.

In the latest reminder that 7
years after the financial crisis, the US banking system still remains a
systemic risk, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari today released four-step
plan to end too-big-to-fail problem. The reason for the proposal: America's
"biggest banks continue to pose a significant, ongoing risk to our
economy" and "One analogy that helps highlight the trade-off of costs
and benefits is the risk of terrorism."

Despite hopes that Donald Trump will waltz in
and suddenly turn everything around, it would be a grave mistake to understate the amount of damage that has been done to
the U.S. economy over the past eight years.
#1 Nearly 7 out of every 10 Americans have less than $1,000 in savings.
That means that about two-thirds of the country is essentially living paycheck
to paycheck at this moment.
#2 Reuters is reporting that U.S. mall investors are poised to lose “billions” of dollars
as the “retail apocalypse” in this nation deepens.
#5 The rate of homeownership has fallen for eight
years in a row and is now hovering near a 50 year low.
#6 The total number of government employees now
outnumbers the total number of manufacturing employees in this country by almost 10 million.
#7 The number of homeless people in New York City
(where Donald Trump is from) has hit a brand new record high.
#9 Total household debt in the United
States has now reached a grand total of 12.3 trillion dollars.
#11 When Barack Obama
entered the White House, the U.S. government was 10.6 trillion dollars in debt.
Today, the U.S. national debt is currently
sitting at a staggering total of $19,842,173,949,869.58.

POLITICS
Armstrong is lying: there
is not socialist rev here. This is Soros-Hillary anti-Trump
conspiracy. Everybody knows it. Sanders has nothing to do with this.
Hillary-Soros are part of big WS speculators & crook bankers who are afraid
of Trump.. The financiers of Hillary, are behind this violence. In Portland the police found
that most rioters imprisoned came from other states (Who paid them?). I wonder
if Armstrong is not one of those supporting this Hillary-Soros conspiracy. Why
he lies so stupidly?
Easy to stopped: Hillary & Soros should be indicted asap,
they should’ve been indicted soon after the violence start. The press released
a tape incriminating Soros, Why authorities didn’t do it? Are they in strike? It is time for them to
act. Is true that this can become worse and worse, and once Hillary-Soros are
indicted , a state of emergency should be declared until we get the normality. It
is true that the Nation is angry, the highest absenteeism to elections showed
so, Hillary and Trump don’t even get 20% of the national electorate. We don’t
deserve them. Many of us hope that the Electoral College declare null such
election, but they won’t do it, they will
opt for strike too. Then, let allow Trump to run the country and if the
nation is hurt, they have the right to respond. No now.]
"There is an attempt to
create a socialist revolution in this country led by the youth and Obama and
Hillary seem happy with that. This is a very dangerous situation..."

WORLD ISSUES and ME
With both NATO and Europe suddenly
unsure of what a radical foreign policy by the Trump administration could mean
for NATO funding and European joint defense, a senior member of Chancellor Angela
Merkel's conservatives said that Europe
needs to think about developing its own nuclear deterrent strategy given
concerns that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump could scale back U.S. military
commitments in Europe.

Clinton supporters
assumed that women would vote for her.
But the Guardian reports:
A majority of white
women voted for Trump. And while Clinton did carry the female vote overall, her
advantage among women was a percentage point less than Obama had enjoyed over
Romney in 2012.
***
Clinton also failed
to excite some of the women who were part of the traditional Democratic base.
She did win among poor women (those making under $50,000 a year), young women,
Latinas and, overwhelmingly, black women. But turnout among some of these
groups was disappointing. She won black women by two percentage points less
than Obama did in 2012. And compared with Obama, her margin even among the
much-vaunted Latina vote was about eight points lower.

Mao Zedong supposedly said,
“There is great disorder under the Heavens and the situation is excellent.” For those
seeking to replace the existing social and economic order, chaos is a good
first step.
Those with a stake in
the system decaying into disorder feel differently: for them, disorder is
threatening and frightening.
Do we control the slide into
disorder and the emergence of a new order? The short answer is no: the forces at work are systemic and
structural, and not controllable with the usual political/economic tools.
Historian Peter Turchin explores
historical cycles of social disintegration and integration in his new book Ages of Discord.
Turchin proposes a model of
rising discord that eventually leads to a new cycle of cooperation and
compares the expected result with historical data. He finds 25-year cycles that
combine into roughly 50-year cycles, comparable (though not identical with)
Kondratieff’s proposed economic cycles (see chart below).
This work draws upon
his previous books, including War
and Peace and War: The Rise and Fall of Empires, which I referenced in Following
in Ancient Rome’s Footsteps: Moral Decay, Rising Wealth Inequality
(September 30, 2015) and The
Lesson of Empires: Once Privilege Limits Social Mobility, Collapse Is
Inevitable (April 18, 2016).

Here are 5 stunning
facts about the 2016 election …
(1) The Clinton Campaign Promoted Trump as a
Republican Candidate
Team Clinton promoted
Donald Trump as a Republican candidate … because they thought he’d be easy to
beat
(2) Sanders Had a Better Chance of Beating Trump … But the
Democratic Establishment Sabotaged Him
Polls showed that
Bernie Sanders might well have beaten Trump. Not only did
Sanders score much higher in likeability than
Clinton, but many moderate voters actually
preferred Sanders
