But no worry… the leak is difficult to access and workers can only stay in place for a short time due to the radiation. Now the reactor will remain off the grid until at least October. There is currently no danger to the population. Yes, currently!

There's only one problem, they don't think. The multitude of casino flash crashes should have been a warning to zombies that momentum-based algorithms are not a replacement for traditional market making. They work the exact opposite. Traditional market making places buyers below the market, and sellers above the market. Whereas momentum algos, force-in buyers above the market, thus leaving only sellers below the market. We've only seen this in several dozen asset classes in the past number of years. <br /><br />Now, the dumbphone era is ending. Apple bet that a $1200 phone would be the next big thing, only to find out that no one wants one. Shocking. Suppliers are warning that orders are continuing to slow.

Worse than eight Hurricane Katrinas. Worse than every wildfire in California history, combined. The world's first trillion-dollar natural disaster. <br /><br />A wintertime megaflood in California could turn out to be the worst natural disaster in U.S. history by far, and we are making it much more likely, according to an alarming study published this week in Nature Climate Change. <br /><br />In terms of sheer destruction, displacement of human life, re-ordering of society, a California megaflood would be without parallel in modern U.S. history. The state's levees aren't designed to attempt to hold back such a flood. The blow to the world's sixth largest economy would send shockwaves throughout the world.
