Volatility Alert (VIX)

The federal government will spend $46.5 billion on debt servicing this year.

The projected deficit for this years budget is $40 billion. Probably optimistic or an outright lie.

Is that not about the same as using your credit card to pay the interest on your operating loan?

Brains,

Yes, without air miles, Avion points, Air Canada lounge access etc. They steal that right in front of our eyes and laugh.

The federal Lieberals are stealing as much as they can before its all gone.
It is disgustingly fascinating.

Fed beginning to panic?

Now talk of multi rate cuts stateside after telling the world all is rosy with their economy. Once rate cuts begin, stock market correction begins (IMO).

Dow Jones falling tops, exhausting (my view). Crypto fallout leading the way . . . .

Errol, do you have a chart indicating the correlation between interest rate and stock markets? As long as I can remember the prevailing wisdom has been the stock market going up on rate cuts and down on rate increases. At least in the short term.

[errolanderson]

Realize what I’m suggesting is contrary to convention market thinking.

Rates cut, stock market goes up. That is about to change.

The equity market is now so stretched that a Fed rate cut could trigger realization that the U.S. is indeed in-recession. An investor race for the exit door. (IMO).

I can see this clear as day . . . Market bubbles have already begun popping one-by-one. Central banker policy can no longer manipulate to save.

The bear has clearly gained-a-grip on global commodity markets. Buying opportunities ahead, just not yet (IMO).

Collapse in U.S. commercial real estate breathtaking now only 15 to 20 cents on-the-dollar. More downside ahead as the 3rd buyer must step-in. This collapse will undoubtably spread through the economy.

Central banker priorities totally misjudged (IMO). Panicked rate cuts ahead. This opinion not shared by the mainstream.

Stock market a different show, totally unrelated to the economy. Crypto shock in-progress as values decline.

Cash remains king, a dreaded statement by those in-the-know.

But if you can write a cheque, money talks, discounts galore . . . .

Gold taking-a-beating from deflationary wave. China buying slows.

Is this a healthy correction or prolonged precious metal selloff?

The embattled global wheat market finally looks like a potential buy . . . but have equities entered Day 1 of a prolonged bear market? NASDAQ swoon . . . . Interesting market times straight ahead.

Gold making new highs today.
What is record high gold trying to tell us?

Doesn't seem deflationary.

[biglentil]

It will have a 1% pullback and then we will get the see look gold crashing, deflation. Same tune ive been hearing since gold was sub $1000.

When Trump gets elected, the American economy will sky rocket.
