All That's Left...<br />http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/05/exceptional-hubris.html<br /><br />The big news yesterday was the long-awaited close above 3% for the U.S. ten year, amid record bets on higher bond yields. In other words yet another massively crowded momentum trade. <br /><br />Europe and the U.S. yield curve are warning of slowdown, whereas record-leveraged bond gamblers believe otherwise. <br /><br />All while, Emerging Markets get pole axed by higher U.S. rates. Gamblers are essentially making record bets that Emerging Markets implode. At which point bond gamblers will get wiped out on their bets for higher U.S. bond yields. <br /><br />Have I mentioned lately, these are not bright people. <br /><br />In summary, exceptional hubris is exceptionally painful<br /><br />Two bubbles will implode at the same time - Tech overweight, and Treasury bond short.

This could potentially disrupt the food supplies that sustain other animals. As prey, one study suggests they’re not nearly as nutritious as Louisiana’s native tree frogs, meaning that native predators, such as garter snakes, could unknowingly apply the same amount of energy for a lesser meal.

I say this because yesterday I posted on Black Bear YT channel an explanation of how H2S is weakening the ozone layer and of course provided the link to here. Since then two people have enthusiastically thanked me for sharing the link to the JJFH site. Both expressed how it explains some things they've been noticing and even been affected by. <br /><br />Last year when I shared I got mostly the sound of crickets and some derisive comments, even though Kevin Sandbloom did read the entire long version Hypothesis. So anyway, the change is noticeable. <br /><br />So to any newbies reading this I hope you start posting comments and asking Jonny questions. He's here to serve and has all the time in the world.

Several lightning strikes led to structure fires in New Jersey and Massachusetts. New York's Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. reported 78 mph wind gusts on Tuesday and about 1,000 lighting strikes per hour.<br /><br />Roads in many towns were impassible and some schools canceled classes on Wednesday due to the damage.<br />Airlines also canceled and delayed flights in and out of the region. <br /><br />In New York City on Tuesday evening, thousands of commuters were stranded in Grand Central Terminal after rail lines were temporarily suspended due to downed trees on the tracks.

The effort to block publication came after a Trump administration aide warned the study would spark a "potential public relations nightmare."<br /><br />"The public, media, and Congressional reaction to these numbers is going to be huge," a White House aide, who was not identified, said in an email, Politico reported.<br /><br />"The impact to EPA [and the Defense Department] is going to be extremely painful," the email reportedly said. "We (DoD and EPA) cannot seem to get ATSDR to realize the potential public relations nightmare this is going to be."<br /><br />ATSDR refers to the Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, which had been preparing to publish a health study about toxic chemicals that have polluted water supplies near chemical plants and military bases, as well as other locations in the United States.<br /><br />The study addresses chemicals known as PFOA and PFOS that are contaminating water systems nationwide. Politico reports that, according to the emails, the study would convey that the chemicals pose dangers to health at a much lower level than the EPA previously deemed safe.
