Until such time as the future is "now". Every gimmick known to man has been used to propagate this charade - and several gimmicks never before tried. For a reason...<br /><br />In order to continue beyond 2008, it was unfortunately necessary that the fatally gored Globalized economic model morph into a massive zero sum criminal enterprise. Be that via money laundering through global real estate, raiding Social Security and Obamacare to pay for tax cuts, inter-generational fiscal plundering, printing money to inflate risk assets, stock buybacks with borrowed money, negative interest rates - there was no idea too corrupt for this inherently corrupt society to consider. Bernie Madoff was a man before his time. <br /><br />Therefore, there are no "facts" we can show that can stun the Idiocracy out of their stupor. Profiting at another person's expense has become the de facto business model.<br /><br />In other words, we've become Third World.

Homes, cars, and animals were swept away in raging waters, but no residents or visitors died. Some were airlifted to safety or rescued by boat.<br /><br />Members of a bison herd were displaced or carried off by floodwaters, and some were rescued from the ocean after swimming for their lives. "Poor buffalo," said Sue Kanoho, executive director of the Kauai Visitors Bureau, who saw video and photos of the animals roaming around businesses and neighborhoods.

http://ponziworld.blo...The Crowded Dumbfuck Bubble <br />http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/04/betting-it-all-on-dumb-money.html<br /><br />Unfortunately, the Idiocracy doesn't trust anyone who can be trusted. This will be their last lesson...<br /><br />Last week we learned from eTrade, Interactive Brokers, and Ameritrade, that retail margin balances remain at all time highs. This week we learned that despite the major reversal in yields on Friday, Treasury bond shorts are also all time high. Crude speculators backed off a tad, but are still pegged near record net longs. <br /><br />All of which is consistent with the biggest reflationary delusion since 2008 <br /><br />We also just learned that wages rose the fastest since 2008, but the cost of living is rising much faster. <br /><br />Therefore deja vu, the Fed has no choice but to implode borrowers.

At this stage, only the most fantastical delusions need apply. As long as GoDaddy doesn't roll over, this will all be fine...<br /><br />One thing that has not been learned to date by investors of any caliber, between the rival camps of technicals versus fundamentals, is the role of the speculative "observer effect" in securitized markets. Which is to say that when gamblers are triggered to go all in, they are taking part in truncating the rally. They are contributing to the parabolic blow-off top that takes price vertical, hence extinguishing momentum. And yet gamblers individually and cumulatively believe the exact opposite, that their participation is somehow elongating the party. Hence, the continuous river of bullshit that must accompany said positioning. Now imagine 7.5 billion people simultaneously triggered to engage in Ponzi reflation across all risk asset classes at the same time.<br /><br />Notice on the Nasdaq that momentum peaked in January prior to the final index peak in March. Also notice that new highs peaked in January as well.

But that's not all! There were at least 7 barn fires, a tree farm (that's a first here I think), public buildings, commercial buildings, homes and apartments also being destroyed by sudden fires.
