In a
stark warning, the IMF cautions that the number of firms with very low interest
coverage ratios — a common signal of distress — would rise to 22% of total
corporate assets should US interest rates post a sharp increase in the near
future.

"Maybe this
GDXJ problem is the shot across of the bow. Maybe Grant Williams’ theory about how little

Following API's
surprise gasoline build (and small crude draw), DOE confirmed
concerns with a surprise
build in gasoline inventories (slamming RBOB). Crude inventories drew down for the 2nd week in a row. WTI
prices tumbled though as production rose to its highest since Aug 2015.

Optimism overnight quickly faded in US equities (even as the
dollar kept rising)...S&P and Dow closed red
Led by crude...
The Dow was weighed down by IBM and Goldman Sachs... (over
half Dow losses) - WTF Watson?!
Stocks and bonds converged after decoupling overnight...
A big dollar rebound today sparked weakness in
commodity-land...

"The
warning signs are getting darker...The U.S. economy is not growing as
fast as people would have thought in the 4th quarter."
"The U.S. economy is not
growing as fast as people would have thought in the 4th quarter."
"So to assert
that we're going to continue to grow at this size or higher...well, I never
make forward predictions like that."
Meanwhile, in a
comical detour, Fink said the market is waiting for Q1 earnings to determine whether the recent equity
rally in the U.S. was justified...
"I think as we
see the consternation in the marketplace now there is a little pull back.
I think people are waiting to
see corporate earnings for this quarter to see if there is a justification of
this significant rally, especially in U.S. stocks."
...allow us to end
the suspense...it's not.

One day after covering its long-standing long dollar call (coincidentally,
just one week after former Goldman COO Gary Cohn urged Trump to flip on his own
"strong dollar" policy), Goldman has gotten even more cautious and in
a note released this morning it warns that "Investors are increasingly concerned about an
S&P drawdown." Here's why.

Overnight exuberance - perhaps on Trump tax comments - has been erased.
The Dow is testing recent
lows (2-month lows) as VIX jumps and the USD,
bond yield surge stalls.

"Our evidence suggests the growth of ETFs

Just as the "puppet of Putin" narrative had gone quiet - following
Trump's Tomahawk-ing a largely abandoned airfield in Syria - it appears the
Russia-linkages stories are about to get restarted. WSJ reports that Exxon Mobil has applied to the
Treasury Department for a waiver from U.S. sanctions on Russia in a bid to
resume its joint venture with state oil giant PAO Rosneft.

From Obamacare to
NATO, and from Ex-Im Bank to Chinese currency manipulators, President Trump has
shown he is comfortable changing his mind 'bigly'. Today's exuberant support for "TTIP as good for
global order," from Speaker Ryan, following VP Pence's meetings
in Japan, raises questions about whether Trump's executive order withdrawing
from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement is the next big
flip-flop.

"Without an ideological basis against American globalism, Trump was easy pickings against the threats and machinations
of the Deep State..."

"The march to war is deafening. But the reasons for it go
beyond the elements of military conflict and political intrigue. Underlying it all, the reasons are
economic."

So, if war with North Korea is
inevitable given the circumstances, what would such a war look like? Here are
some elements I think are most important; elements
that make the war almost unwinnable, if winning is even the purpose…
----
----
Trump
could call up providers and bully them into offering coverage. But does that make any sense from a party that wants
to Kill Obamacare? The system is set up to implode
and there is no point to doing anything until it does. After an implosion,
there will be bipartisan support to do something. Right now there is no bipartisan support to do anything.

"It is tremendously disheartening that
we part ways due to completely unfounded claims. But that is the unfortunate reality

All the provocateurs in Ukraine
should be aware that playing the nationalist card
can be dangerous and can even result in a defeat that, when compared
to 2014-2015, would be dramatically worse, condemning
Ukraine to an economic, social and political crisis without precedent or a way out. It literally could be the beginning of the disintegration of Ukraine as we know it today.

Here we stand on the precipice,
and all we have in our kit is a collection of delusional magical thinking that
we label “solutions.” We are not just
morally and financially bankrupt, we’re intellectually bankrupt as well.
Here are three
examples of magical thinking that pass for intellectually sound ideas:
Mainstream neo-classical/
Keynesian economics. As economist Manfred Max-Neef notes in this interview, neo-classical/
Keynesian economics is no longer a discipline or a science–it is a religion.
It demands a peculiar faith in
nonsense: for example, the environment–Nature– is merely a subset of
the economy. When we’ve stripped the seas of wild fish (and totally destroyed
the ecology of the oceans), no problem–we’ll substitute farmed fish, which are in
economic terms, entirely equal to wild fish.
In other words, the natural world cannot be valued in our
current mock-science religion of economics.
Other absurdities abound.
Stripping the seas of wild fish adds to GDP, so it’s all good, right?
Dismantling newly constructed buildings and building a replacement structure
also adds to GDP, so it’s an excellent source of “growth.”
As Max-Neef points out, conventional economists have
absolutely no understanding of poverty. If you need a sobering
account of just how this abject willful ignorance works in the real world, I
recommend reading The White Man’s Burden: Why the West’s
Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good.
