ECONOMICS
What do you do when a quick rise in
mortgage rates suddenly threatens to tame home buying demand from subprime
borrowers who, despite the lessons from the past, are still purchasing homes,
en masse, with only 3.5% down payments and just enough monthly cash flow to
cover mortgage payments? Well, if you're the
Obama administration then you simply socialize the problem and force those higher
mortgage costs on taxpayers.

INVESTORS VIEW ON ECONOMICS
Throughout
history, as shown in the chart below, prices have ALWAYS, and I repeat ALWAYS,eventually
found their limits. There has never been a “permanently high plateau” that
inoculated investors from devastating consequences of misconceived and poorly
managed investments.
Throughout history,
as shown in the chart below, prices have
ALWAYS, and I repeat ALWAYS, eventually found their limits. There has never
been a“permanently high plateau” that inoculated investors from
devastating consequences of misconceived and poorly managed investments.
Importantly, as you will note above, whenever prices have had extreme deviations from the
underlying long-term growth trend, as we have currently, the resolution of
those excesses were never accomplished by just a “reversion TO the mean.”
With the markets, and the
economy, currently pushing the historical limits of time and distance, the
reality of an unexpected mean-reverting event has risen in recent months. While
such a statement does not imply that a correction will occur immediately, or
even within the next few months,
Since I covered “Curing The Trading Addiction” yesterday,
which were more general concepts of money management, I wanted to follow up
with the specific actions we take which lead us to poor outcomes over time.
Common Trading Mistakes
1) Refusing To Take A Loss –
Until The Loss Takes You.
2) The Unrealized Loss
3) If I Bet Big – I Win Big
4) Bottom Feeding Knife Catchers
5) Dollar Cost Averaging
6) You Can’t Fight City Hall OR
The Trend
7) A Good Company Is Not Necessarily
A Good Stock
8) Chasing Performance
9) Technically Trapped
10) The Tale Of The Tape
11 ) Worried About Taxes
12) Leave The Guru’s In India
13) Everybody’s A Genius
Don’t confuse genius
with a bull market. It’s not that hard to make money in a roaring bull market. Keeping your gains when the bear comes prowling is
the hard part.
“The
market whips all of our butts now and then, and that whipping usually comes
just when we think we’ve got it all figured out.”
Managing risk is the
key to survival in the market and ultimately in making money. Leave the
pontificating to CNBC. Focus on managing risk, market cycles and exposure.
In the long-run, you will
likely be better off.

"This is my only forecast for the 10-year in 2017. If 2.60%
is broken on the upside – if yields move higher than 2.60% – a secular bear
bond market has begun. Watch the 2.6%
level. Much more important than Dow 20,000. Much more important than
$60-a-barrel oil. Much more important that the Dollar/Euro parity at 1.00. It
is the key to interest rate levels and perhaps stock price levels in 2017." - Bill

Dear
Self-Proclaimed "Progressives"... You're As Evil As The
Neocon-Neoliberal Empire You've Enabled
MUST READ: OPEN http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-10/dear-self-proclaimed-progressives-youre-evil-neocon-neoliberal-empire-youve-enabled
The
dirty little secret of Neoliberalism is that the markets it creates are
rigged in favor of Elitist cronies.
Sorry,
pal, you're evil. Self-righteous indignation counts for nothing in
the strict accounting of real progressivism.

"Before
anyone hyperventilates, I am not saying Israel was responsible. Nor am I
stating Russia was not responsible. I am simply going to present “evidence”
in the same fashion as the intelligence report did regarding allegations,
innuendo, and a smear campaign aimed at news agency RT."

Here is the full 35 page dossier making "explosive, but unverified, allegations"
that the Russian government has been "cultivating, supporting and assisting" President-elect
Donald Trump for at least 5 years and gained compromising information about him
----
----
In a story that is getting more surreal by the
minute, a post on 4Chan claims that the infamous
"golden showers" scene in the unverified 35-page dossier which served
as a basis for a US intelligence report, was fabricated as a hoax, which
however managed to fool virtually everyone.

The
election of Donald Trump has been perhaps the single most galvanizing moment
for the “radical left “ in modern American
history, and they are working very hard to turn January 20th into a major
political statement.
----

Backtracking on a position held as recently as
yesterday (according to the WSJ), Trump today pressed Republicans to move
forward with the "immediate repeal" of Obamacare, and to replace it
very quickly thereafter, saying, “We have to get to business. Obamacare has
been a catastrophic event.” The only problem is that there is no way to rush a
replacement, and it could take as long as two years (or more).

WORLD ISSUES and ME
Despite the proclamations from The White House
and its lackeys that this is the best jobs recovery ever and we are at full
employment, it appears all is not
well at the world's third largest employer.

A year ago it was the Ruble, but for much of
the last year it is the South African Rand that has been the most volatile
currency in the world. That is until the last week, as Turkey deals with rising
domestic instability (and Erdogan's push for total rule), theLira has become the world's most unstable
currency...

If,
however, in the absence of a violation of the treaty by Iran, we tore up the
deal, we could find ourselves isolated. For Britain, France and Germany also
signed, and they believe the agreement is a good one. Do we really want to force these NATO allies
to choose between the deal they agreed to and a break with the United States?

Dear Self-Proclaimed
“Progressive”: I love you, man, but it has become necessary to intervene in
your self-destruction. Your ideological blinders and apologies for
the Establishment’s Neocon-Neoliberal Empire are not just destroying your
credibility, they’re destroying the nation and everywhere the Empire
intervenes.
While you squandered your
political capital defending zero-cost causes like “safe spaces on college
campuses,” the Empire was busy killing, maiming and making refugees of women
and children in Syria. President
Obama and his Neocon crew (former Secretary Hillary Clinton included) aren’t
fools; they rely on drones and proxy armies to do their dirty work.
Neoliberalism is the
Establishment’s core ideology, and by supporting Bill Clinton and Barack Obama,
you furthered, defended and rationalized the Empire’s neoliberal expansion and
exploitation. Neoliberalism’s Big Lie
is transforming everything into a market makes everyone richer.
The dirty little secret of
Neoliberalism is that the markets it creates are rigged in favor of Elitist
cronies. If you can set aside
your “progressive” blinders for a moment (Bill and Barack could do no wrong for
16 long years of neoliberal exploitation), you might learn that the Presidents
and party you supported ushered in the era of neoliberal pillage as public-private
partnerships, Philanthro-Capitalism, and rigged markets that enriched the
elitist Establishment you defend at the expense of the bottom 95% non-elites.

Vásquez:
[[ Ya no hay tiempo que perder en quien fue 1ro, el huevo o la
gallina. Se trata de luchar por trabajo decente para ambos, con igual salario y
con protección especial para quien va a ser o es ya madre. Es el sistema
neoliberal –ya obsoleto- el que tiene que ser puesto en la mira de nuestras
luchas. Hay que ver el bosque que se está incendiando para poner mejor atención al árbol que puede
ser rescatado. Feminism vs machism solo genera odios, no sirve para unir pueblos, minorÃas
nacionales, ni Naciones ni Estado contra problemas comunes. Si hay mujeres
violadas, hay que usar canales de ley para su defensa. Nuestra prioridad debe
ser la atención a causas económico-sociales y polÃticas que crean esos
problemas. Si mi opinión te parece machista, te puedo
mencionar decenas de mujeres que no solo
piensan asÃ, sino que además actuaron y actúan en esa dirección . ]]
