Ponzi World (Over 3 Billion NOT Served)

The globalized economy is a colossal Ponzi Scheme in which the vast majority survive on the bread crumbs falling off the table. The possibility of 7 billion people achieving a consumption-oriented lifestyle is zero, so the World Bank conveniently set the poverty line at $1.25/day to legalize global slavery. As long as someone else's children are doing the suffering, it's "all good". Post-2008, this illusion was extended merely by plundering all future generations.

The Fuse Is Lit: The Fake Reflation Trade Is Toast

The hot money has to go home...

The Fed came out more dovish than expected, which means the market leading Financials reflation trade just went under the bus along with the dollar. Also meaning that the doors are closing on the rest of the fake reflation trade: Gold, silver, uranium, coal, oil, Natural Gas etc.

The deflation trade is back...

Compliments of collapsing first quarter GDP, now at .9%. The dollar is doing the Fed's job for them:

The initial casino reaction was S&P straight line higher to fill the last gap above the market. What else?

Compliments of non-existent market liquidity:

All bullish-it of course

Dollar:

Rates

Banks

Financials with financial asset allocation:

Last chance to get out of the end-of-world uranium trade:

Steel stocks

Oil

Coal stocks

The only question on the table - same as the last two times - is how long can Johnson & Johnson hold up this market ?

Because the hot money has to go home now

USDJPY

"Mission Accomplished"
