This got ugly in a hurry. I guess the shares were the tell yesterday.
We need some “no deal” news to come out pronto.

So … what you’re saying is No private equity people over for tea? 🙂
Apparently, overnight the China and the US agreed to resume talks
I somehow missed that amidst all the available information.
Sooo….I guess the SM and rate action makes sense. My bad.
Let’s play “Deal or No Deal” for another day.

Private Equity people are a lower form of life than Banksters, they should be branded on their foreheads….so people can push them into the traffic, when they try to move around.
Not sure why but here they come
we got a little pop on “no inflation CPI”
Now they’re attempting a waterfall especially in silver.
So much for the “bad” China news after hours yesterday, rates are popping higher despite a slightly weaker SM and USD.
No need to feel bearish on the SM
the PPT will spring into action and save it whenever it gets too weak,
Yesterday AH DOW was down 283, this am down 20 – presto! Fixed.
“Surprise” out-of-network bills are consumer fraud.
“Surprise” out-of-network bills are consumer fraud. It is an intentional act taken in conspiracy by the hospitals, medical practitioners and the private equity groups such as Blackstone and KKR.
My view of it is this:
Stop it — right now, and refund everything done to the public over the last decade — or everyone involved gets charged with racketeering and conspiracy to defraud not only consumers but insurance companies. Given the amount of money involved (tens of billions a year) this should easily generate some nice decade-long slam-slam time for hospital administrators, private equity firm directors and officers along with the doctors that go along with it.
Don’t like that idea? I have some less-lawful ones too, especially when this sort of bull**** comes out of shady lobbying organizations buying ads that are intentionally deceptive and, in addition, hide their funding origins.
But I’d much prefer to see the legal alternatives so long as hard, felony criminal time is involved.
Thus bullcrap must be stopped.
Feeling bearish about the stock mkt? I. am-do I have company? Yeah…too much!!
Polarized opinions
To appreciate how polarized market views are right now, bear in mind that the stock market is within shouting distance of all-time highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.70% and the S&P 500 Index SPX, +0.91% are each less than 4% off their highs, and the Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.02% is just 5% below its high.
Nevertheless, from reading the viewpoints of the short-term market timers I track, you’d think we’d have already started a major bear market.
Consider the average recommended equity exposure level among a subset of short-term stock market timers I monitor who focus on the Nasdaq market (as measured by the Hulbert NASDAQ Newsletter Sentiment Index, or HNNSI). This average currently stands at minus 55.9%, which means that the average Nasdaq-oriented market timer is allocating more than half his equity trading portfolio to going short.
That’s an aggressive bet that the market is headed lower.
This bet is extraordinary for a market so close to its all-time high, since the usual pattern is for sentiment exposure levels to rise and fall more or less in lockstep with the overall market. In December, the last time the HNNSI was as low as it is today, the Nasdaq was nearly 1,500 points lower.
The contrarian view
Contrarians view as positive this disconnect between the market’s level and the market timers’ gloom. To be sure, as I reported last week, some other sentiment measures aren’t indicating as much bearishness as currently seen among Nasdaq timers. But in recent days those other measures have also begun to point toward more gloom among the market gurus.
This suggests that a significant “wall of worry” is being built, which from a contrarian is bullish for the near term. At a minimum, therefore, today is unlikely to be the beginning of a major leg down in the stock market.

Got gold? Got. oil? Iran.. this would be a very big war,
This strategic “crescent,” or land-bridge, is something that the radical Iranian leadership has coveted for decades and has now achieved, via both boots on the ground and influence-by-other-means: influence that reaches deep into such remote spots as Yemen, Venezuela and North Korea.
Here’s what behind war drums: The U.S. is muscularly tightening the screws with effective oil sanctions against Tehran, and, if Iran’s oil lifeline is all but cut off amid an already atrophying economy, the regime could strike back: with a first strike at scattered U.S. forces on the ground in Iran-dominated Iraq.
Were it to transpire, make no mistake, this would be a very big war, one that could rapidly escalate into a conflict that would unfold in a much more violent and costly way than the two Gulf Wars involving the United States and Iraq from previous decades.
Iran, with a population of some 80 million, has a very large military (including an estimated 550,000 active personnel), a growing armory of increasingly accurate land-based ballistic and cruise missiles, plus a scrappy navy that includes a contingent of hard-to-detect “midget” submarines.
Today the nation’s geopolitical sphere, indeed, its military reach, extends from Tehran, through Baghdad, into Damascus and terminates in Beirut: a highly strategic corridor all the way to the Mediterranean.
