globalization is over. Financiers know it, they documented with graphics
"Cryptocurrency is today’s printing press – a truly
game-changing technology that the
ruling elite sees as a threat to their control...The
only reason banks enjoy such immense power is because they control the money... Cryptocurrency
disrupts this absurd middleman monopoly."

Sometime
this year, world public and private plus
unfunded pensions will surpass $300 trillion. That is not
even counting the $100 trillion in US government unfunded liabilities.
Oops. These obligations cannot be paid. A time is coming when the market and
voters will realize this.
Here is a chart my staff at Mauldin Economics created in late
2016 using Congressional Budget Office data. It shows what will happen in the next recession if revenues drop by the
same percentage as they did in the last recession (without even counting likely
higher expenditures this time).
Source: Mauldin Economics
The catalyst could be a
European recession that spills over into the US. Or it might be one triggered
by US monetary and fiscal mistakes. Or a funding crisis in China, or an
emerging-market meltdown.
Whatever the cause, the next recession will be just as
global as the last one. And there will be more buildup of debt and more
political and economic chaos.
It May Be a Complete Reset
The Great Reset will also bring an
increase in volatility. And the correlation among asset classes will
once again approach 1.0, as it did during 2008–2009.
I can think of at least three or four ways that
politicians and central bankers could react during the Great Reset. Each of the
four ways will bring a different type of volatility and effect on valuations.
Flexibility will be critical to successful investing in the
future. [[ So, not solution to main problem! ]]
I
think the answer lies in diversifying among non-correlated trading
strategies that can invest in any asset class.

DILUSIONS?
"Everybody in the
equities-universe it seems is aware of this dynamic, and fundamental folks are
increasingly nervous about the potential for a reversal in mega ‘pain trade’
style—because it seems the entire world is ‘LONG TECH
AGAINST SHORT ENERGY’…people are ready to pounce on this trade."

REALITY
1
"As a former equity guy,
it pains me to say that when the bond and equity markets are at odds, it
usually pays to go with the bond guys. Let’s face it, the bond guys are better
at math, often smarter, and less likely to fall for a story. Therefore I am a
little at a loss regarding this next chart..."
REALITY.. 2
Employment,
new orders, and production all slowed notably in May according to the
MNI Chicago PMI report. Printing at 55.2 - below the
lowest expectation - this is the lowest level since January's collapse, and
has sent 'animal spirits' in the macro data to its lowest in six months.

"Yes, US equities really
are historically unstable today: the capacity for US
equities to jump quickly from calm to stress and back (“fragility”) today is
indeed historically unusual."

"policy
is the main potential source of both upside and downside risk, be it with
respect to fiscal expansion, trade policies, wage outcomes, euro area reform or
monetary policy. As China tightens policy, what happens next in the US has
become critical, we look for modest US tax cuts but believe that, Trumpflation
insufficient to offset fading Xiflation." - SocGen

communities they serve,”

Is it fair to compare
Congress to a toilet? If there
is one institution that embodies the corruption that permeates Washington D.C.,
it is the United States Congress. Dominated by extremely selfish career politicians that are primarily interested in raising enough money
to win the next election, Congress has become a cesspool of filth, fraud and malfeasance.

Don't know which way Paris will go, but I've done all I can to advise

Did the blitz-mass media campaign actually
succeed in "shaming" Goldman, forcing it to sell some - or all - of
its "Hunger Bond" holdings (at a sizable profit)? Looking at the
price of the PDVSA 6% bonds of 2022 today, shows that someone(s) was busy
selling...

Trump’s Public Enemy, Ex-CIA Chief Slams Kushner-Moscow Conspiracy https://sputniknews.com/us/201705311054175827-trump-public-enemy-cia-kushner/
A former
intelligence director who has never hid his criticism of US President Donald
Trump still blasted the media’s reckless amplification of the stream of
anonymous former and current US officials whispering about White House adviser
and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner and his supposed attempts to create
secret backchannels with Moscow.

Trump’s $110 Billion Saudi Arms Deal Could Include THAAD https://sputniknews.com/politics/201705311054142145-saudi-deal-may-include-thaa/
US President Donald Trump’s
recent $110 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia could include coastal patrol
ships for Riyadh as well as the Lockheed Martin-developed Terminal High
Altitude Area Defense system (THAAD) currently creating tension in north Asia.
Speaking to the leaders
of 50 Muslim countries on May 21, Trump said the US "will be
sure to help our Saudi friends to get a good deal from our great
American defense companies. This agreement will help the Saudi military
to take a greater role in security operations."

Enemy of My Enemy: Trump’s Anti-Iran Coalition Crumbles as Muslim Allies Balk https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201706011054177699-trump-anti-iran-coalition-crumbles/
During
US President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East, he outlined his vision of
the region’s future: to build an alliance of Muslim states to contain Iran and
bring stability to the Arab World. But this plan has already shown cracks, as
the would-be coalition members have already begun to bicker or pull out from
the alliance.
The Washington Post claimed
that Trump's ideal was a sort of mini-NATO comprising the US-friendly Arab
nations. A NATO-style alliance would mean a NATO-style constitution, most
notably something like Article 5, which would make an invasion of one
member state an invasion of all of them.
