Neoliberal
globalization is over. Financiers know it, they documented with graphics
"‘Fake Markets’ are defined as markets
where the magnitude and duration of
artificial flows from global Central Banks or passive investment vehicles have
managed to overwhelm and narcotize data-dependency and macro factors. A stuporous state of durable,
un-volatile over-valuation, arrested activity, unconsciousness produced by the
influence of artificial money flows... The
higher it goes, the higher it can go, as more swathes of private investors are
pulled in. The
more violently it can subsequently bust."

From A&P to Grand Union, Dahl's, etc., bankruptcy courts have been
littered with the industry's failures for decades. Unfortunately, it's only going to
get worse.
Because of their smaller footprints and labor costs per
square foot that are a fraction of a traditional grocer's, dollar stores can
offer consumers lower prices and still earn 3x higher margins than a regular
grocery chain....all of which makes it likely that they'll continue to steal
share.
Food Price Deflation
Meanwhile, food price deflation continues to wreak havoc
on already razor-thin margins.

Many today strongly believe it is morally wrong to indenture students to the degree
of liabilities presently required to achieve
the education required to become a productive contributor within our
modern society. The question we need to demand answers
to is why has college costs for students exploded upward, while salaries
and job positions for graduates has not?

Peak Exuberance
“EXUBERANCE” is not measured by valuations paid but rather by the
psychology behind it.
At each major market peak throughout history, there has
always been something that became “the” subject of speculative
investment. Rather it was railroads, real estate,
emerging markets, technology stocks or tulip bulbs, the end result was always
the same as the rush to get into those markets also led to the rush to get out.
Today, the rush to buy “ETF’s” has clearly taken that mantle, as I discussed last week, and as shown in the chart
below.
Peak Expectations
1. Markets Do Not Compound
Returns: The biggest mistake you are making in your retirement
planning by buying into the “myth” that markets “compound returns” over
time. They don’t. They never have. They never
will.

It's beginning to get hard to ignore the carnage coming
from China...
So Macro data is collapsing...
Commodities are collapsing...
And earnings expectations are
tumbling...
Commodity carnage was the theme
of the day as tightening Chinese financial conditions combined with collapsing
WMP issuance are sucking the exuberance out of stocks, bonds, and industrial
metals...
Citi FX traders noted that as for
WTI from here, we’ve noted that $47.00 is the level to watch on a weekly
closing basis. Now testing $45.90, our oil colleagues warn that there’s
“capitulation out there.”

"At
this junction, the key question is when and how will this end. Will volatility
just grind higher as the central banks start normalizing, or will it explode
and wipe out some volatility sellers and levered strategies in the
process."

There are many examples of strong and mutually-beneficial trade
relationships all throughout history, but one doesn’t have to look far back to find
what could be considered the closest bilateral relationship ever known: the one
between the United States and Canada.

La seudo democ y sist duopolico es obsoleto por fraudulento y

During his first 100 days in office, President Trump broke numerous records. As Statista's
Niall McCarthy notes, in addition to having the lowest approval ratings of
any U.S. president this early into his current term, Trump's Cabinet has also
received the most 'no' votes in history.

After a stunning defeat on March 24th, followed by over a month of back
and forth bickering, Paul Ryan & Co. has finally
passed an Obamacare replacement bill by a final vote of 217 - 213.
RELATED 1
The Republican House spent Thursday afternoon celebrating the passage
of a Healthcare bill that nobody has scored, let alone
read, and already the Senate has poured cold water over the first and so
far only achievement of the Trump administration. The
reason: Senate Republicans said they will set aside the narrowly passed House
health-care bill and write their own version instead.
RELATED 2
Of
course, all of the celebrations are undoubtedly premature as the bill will now
be sent to the Senate where it will likely have to be substantially modified in
order to attract 51 Republican votes.

The Hong
Kong Dollar has plunged to its weakest level against the dollar (to which it is
pegged) since February 2016, even as the Hang Seng surges higher. As HKD nears
7.80, triggering likely HKMA
intervention, we wonder whether we will see a replay of last year's
liquidity-driven stock market slump.

[[ The concentration of USD in few hands is unsustainable ]]
For decades people have been predicting overpopulation would wipe out
energy resources if not the entire planet. Every year the population bomb and
peak oil crowd have been proven wrong. But how long can the status quo of generating growth by population
explosion last?

If we accept that our financial
system is nothing but a wealth-transfer mechanism from the productive elements
of our economy to parasitic, neofeudal rentier-cartels and self-serving state
fiefdoms, that raises a question: what
do we do about it?
The typical answer seems to be: deny it, ignore it, get
distracted by carefully choreographed culture wars or shrug
fatalistically and put one’s shoulder to the debt-serf grindstone.
There is another response, one
that very few pursue: fanatic frugality in service of financial-political
independence. Debt-serfs and
dependents of the state have no effective political power, as noted yesterday in It
Isn’t What You Earn and Owe, It’s What You Own That Generates Income.
There are only three ways to
accumulate productive capital/assets: marry
someone with money, inherit money or accumulate capital/savings and invest it
in productive assets. (We’ll leave out lobbying the Federal government for a
fat contract or tax break, selling derivatives designed to default and the rest
of the criminal financial skims and scams used so effectively by the New
Nobility financial elites.)
The only way to accumulate
capital to invest is to spend considerably less than you earn. For a variety of reasons, humans seem predisposed to
spend more as their income rises. Thus the person making $30,000 a year
imagines that if only they could earn $100,000 a year, they could save half of
their net income. Yet when that happy day arrives, they generally find their expenses
have risen in tandem with their income, and the anticipated ease of saving
large chunks of money never materializes.
