What, Fedex not flying as much ChiCom junk around the world, than they're used to doing? You mean more countries are buying less crap from the ChiComs that ends up in our landfills after 10 months? You mean more of that crap will be made in America, and will last 3yrs, 5yrs, or 10yrs, rather than 10 months?
Maybe there will be a recession, if when you by something and it lasts 5 yrs, instead of having to buy the same thing year, after year, after year. Imagine audacity in something lasting more than a year.

Are there nuclear weapon manufacturers I can invest in? With all the years of continual doom and gloom talk, it sounds like I might make a killing on such an investment.

Just because they build them, doesn't mean they'll use them.

Why in phuck does every company believe they have to make record profits every year just to please the shareholder. Just look what that has done to John Deere and in turn affected anyone who runs their Chinese made crap. I used to think they made good equipment now all I do is call the service man to fix computerized electrical glitches a few times a week. When the hell are these companies gonna get back to making stuff that’s reliable and not farm every part out that’s made in a third world toilet then charge a 100 times the price when it gets back to America so the shareholders are happy. What about the stake holders who have to run this shit and try and make a living doing it. They shud have let all these donkeys go broke in 08 and the problem would have fixed itself eventually. GM is another prime example. The CEOs of these companies shud choked for running businesses into the ground and having the nerve to pay themselves a shit ton of money for doing a shitty job. Our system is just buggered. Brutal

It,s the way the huge wages for the CEO's of the work.

Bonus at +1% +2%+3% growth.

Millions over base.

Raise prices, raise returns, Millions in CEO bonus. Bring a new guy in if it slows down and around we go.

bucket, yes if the U.S. crop doesn't meet expectations that could certainly turn corn prices higher. Soybeans and wheat, not so much. U.S. continues to lose market share in both these markets. But the U.S. crop is now getting passed the frost-risk stage and USDA claims yields are rising. We'll see . . . .

I thought the I-States needed another 2-3 weeks for corn to be past the frost risk stage?

Early stages of harvest have started in southern regions. Yes, another two weeks is needed to get through critical period in north. Analysts stateside now suggesting to U.S. growers to sell forward corn futures to capture the carry.

Short-term lending rates to financial institutions spiked as high as 10 percent this week.

Shortage of cash between financial institutions? Investors not lending? Fed has had to make huge injection this week to prop up.. Also, this suggests Fed may be losing control of setting rates. Repo rates are an indication of credit risk.

Credit illiquidity and subprime mortgage mess between banks triggered the 2008 crisis . . . The big short.

To put this bluntly, the govt is losing the ability to fund promises worldwide. It isn't as simple as firing up the printing press. Promise's are funded by bonds and the repo is the shortest term bond. Politicians can't figure it out because they are illiterate in how the system functions, they figure they just pass a law or jack taxes or tweet the feds. The bond market is the grand daddy of all. Now more cuts worldwide in rates and no buyers..... when the sharks move in for the short it'll be absolute carnage. You need an ability to generate income in this situation and preferably in $10's and $20's that can't be tracked. The hunt for tax will increase and if you rely on a govt check for survival, it will end. Our biggest impact will likely be less credit available and it'll be at higher rates.

Macdon this is what shud have happened in 08. Too many loans to people that shouldn’t have had them. Kids with credit cards that didn’t realize u have to pay it back. Grown adults running Romper room into the ground. Now the rest of us that run our businesses in the black and responsibly pay again. Phuck I hate stupid.
