I’d hoped the night session would provide clues to determine how the week might end, but bears and bulls have both turned gutless. This is understandable, given that Thursday’s hard selloff caught a bounce that was based on little more than drivel from the Fed’s charlatan-in-chief, Janet Yellen. It’s hard to imagine the market rallying when “Wall Street” cops to the fact that she and her clever cronies have run out of options. This makes it all but inevitable that the massive carry-trade unwind we saw yesterday will continue, with stocks falling, and gold, U.S. Treasurys and the yen rising. Get used to it, because we’re going to be seeing a lot more of this in the days, weeks and months ahead.

Prem Watsa’s bet on deflation:

The FED raising rates will bring overseas capital into the equity sector, as thought and ‘done’ in the late-1928 market time frame. Of course that idea had a different affect of thinking because of over valuation.
Well here it is again the thing to do, but his time the FED may stop this process, and again get caught in market sentiment.
History rhymes, it does not repeat.
The suggestion here, it does not matter what the FED does they are a very small part of the debt market, but as we can see they are good for the ‘blame game’ at this weeks meeting.
The Obama 15666.44 low in August was broken yesterday for the 1st time, broken ‘not’ tested (there’s a difference). The SP INDU are the only to majors that have not done so. The Value Line GEO is done 30% as this level here it is the true value of the market cost towards investment over the longer term.
Most interesting, at the 2002 and 2009 this valued Value Line Geo index was trading ‘under’ the 1987 price levels in equity values.
Where was your home selling at in 1987?
Have a great weekend and enjoy your comments.
