Unfortunately, as we pointed
out last week, this drop in volatility hasn’t made markets safer. Instead, they appear more fragile than ever, as the number

More on
the collapse: here one Bankrupt among
many
Toys "R" Us is considering closing at least 100
U.S. stores - and as many as 200 - in the face of weak holiday sales. The store
closures come after a sharp contraction in holiday
sales and are a reversal to the
company's previous promise that its Chapter 11 filing wouldn’t result in major
business changes.

Trump's Corporate Tax Cuts only
benefit the super rich. Here some
evidences:
Credit Suisse estimates that corporate tax cuts in the U.S. could boost average earnings of companies in
the S&P by about 8-10%...here are some of the winners and losers.
Jamie Dimon noted last week (see: Jamie
Dimon Says Corporations Will Fund Buybacks With Tax Cuts And That's "Not A
Bad Thing"), the bulk of the tax cuts, particularly in
industries like pharma and tech that have large cash balances sitting over seas
waiting to be repatriated, will go to shareholders via
buybacks and dividends. The rationale is that U.S.
companies are already sitting on a mountain of cash and borrowing rates are at
historic lows meaning there are already very few hurdles to increasing investment.
Meanwhile,
not all industries will be impacted equally. Companies with mainly
US-based revenues, which are not hit by the new charge on overseas assets, will
gain the most from the new code. Oil refiners, railroads, airlines and banks are expected to be among the biggest beneficiaries with companies like
Valero, United Technologies and JP Morgan expecting an earnings boost of
15-30%. Per the Financial
Times:
Other significant beneficiaries are
likely to include oil refiners.
The leading companies such as Valero
Energy and Andeavor can expect earnings per share next year to be 15-32 per
cent higher as a result of the tax cut, according to Guy Baber, an
analyst at Simmons & Co.
For equipment manufacturers
including United
Technologies, Honeywell and Emerson Electric, the average boost to earnings
would have been about 10 per cent if the main corporate tax rate had been cut to 20 per cent, according
to Vertical Research Partners. That gain is likely to be only slightly smaller
with a 21 per cent rate.
Banks are also expected to be
significant winners. KBW calculated
that earnings per share in 2018 would
be about 20 per cent higher for JPMorgan Chase and 21
per cent higher for Wells Fargo under a 20 per cent tax rate.

"It seems that we are coming to the crux..."
In sum, Nasrallah,
backed by Iran, and in parallel by Egypt’s Sunni religious leadership of al-Azar, by Turkey (taking the Caliph’s mantle) and many others, has redefined President Trump’s Art of the
Deal ploy -- not as one robbing the Palestinians of the heart of
their cause, but as the re-ignition of the long struggle of all Muslims and Christians for
Jerusalem, and all, for which it stands.
The American ‘ruling interests’ – after a long
series of failures in the Middle East – will not abide yet more: they
will retch at the thought of Israel challenged in this way; of Saudi Arabia
humiliated and at Hizbullah and Iran in the vanguard of a regional campaign for
Jerusalem, and for Palestine – and by implication, against those who have been
seen willing to normalise with Israel.
A Bad Moon is rising
America is polarised at home;
unitive government has splintered into departments at odds with each other, and
with officials leaking on each other; with fake news abounding; with Congress
gridlocked, and with American social and political fabric tearing apart. Against this background - can a president,
concerned that he might be removed from office, and beset still by hitherto
hidden ‘ruling interests’ now dragged out from the shadows into the public
glare for their tawdry schemes, resist the march toward
war – the original question posed by Paul Craig Roberts?
Either
a war in North Korea (“the greatest threat facing America”, McMaster says), or
an aggressive military show of force against ‘bad actor’ Iran – and in support
of a failing Saudi Crown Prince. Is
this the diversion that either a now exposed and vulnerable Deep State, and a
hobbled President, might welcome as the chance to stand erect in public esteem?
Both might share a common interest in escaping domestic problems to mount a
show of American strength and military power. Very possibly they
might, but oddly, the US military have chosen to leave American
soldiers hostage and isolated in both cases: 30,000 US forces in the DMZ
between the Koreas, and in smaller outposts in north-eastern Syria and
in Iraq. This may turn out
badly. Remember Beirut in 1983.
