Neoliberal globalization is
over. Financiers know it, they documented with graphics
If we're going to be precise about
it, work gets done at 11AM on a Monday in October. At all other times of day,
we're basically slacking from our most productive.
Here’s what we found.
Summary of findings
- Our most productive day time of day is 11 AM when we complete the most tasks (9.7% of all tasks)
- After lunchtime, our productivity drops -- and it completely plummets after 4PM
- Or most productive day of the week is Monday (20.4% of tasks)
- We’re least productive at the end of the week (Friday, 16.7%), and unsurprisingly, get virtually nothing done on the weekends (Saturday + Sunday, 4.7%)
- The highest percentage of tasks are completed in October (9.5%); the lowest percentage of tasks are completed in January (7.2%)
- Fall ranks in as the most productive season, and winter (22.8%) is by far the least productive season
At what
time of the day do people complete the most tasks?
Let’s
start with time of day. All times were normalized for their respective
timezones for uniformity.

After getting absolutely crushed on
their inverse vol exposure, retail investors have... doubled down as inflows into inverse VIX ETFs, i.e. selling
volatility, increased sharply over the past two weeks.
See chart:
As JPM
confirm, several investor types such as vol targeting (equity or multi asset)
funds or risk parity funds are structurally short volatility and "VIX calls provide the most direct and liquid
way to hedge their short volatility exposure."

What went little unnoticed
today, is that the German 10-year yield traded with an 80 bps handle before
falling back into the close. It has not been up there since the summer of 2015
and is now only about 15 bps from busting out Into The Great Wide Open,
where there is little resistance until 2 percent.

"...the
unfortunate part of the story is
that the shale oil miracle only made
this country more delusional at a moment in history when we really can’t afford to believe in fairy tales..."
As
of this week, the shale oil miracle launched US oil production above the
1970 previous-all-time record at just over ten million barrels a day.

Beginning in 2013, with the taper
tantrum, the Critical Stress Signal has been a remarkable contrarian indicator
as it has closely aligned with the timing of central banks either verbally or
physically intervening to calm markets. So far, however, central banks are
keeping radio silence...
See chart:
From BofA's perspective, equity skew,
or the price of equity tail protection, and the shock to US equity vol this
week, were the real stress outliers...
See chart:
Meanwhile, as Bank of America's
derivatives team writes, the bank's proprietary Critical Stress Signal (CSS)
was triggered to "Risk-off" on 8-Feb-18, with 13 components rising by
more than 0.5 standard deviations in a 10-day period.
