Melting Up To Meltdown


Global mass delusion has gone manic, aided and abetted by Trump, global Central Banks, OPEC, Wall Street, and Faux News 24x7. The entire world will learn that tightening liquidity in an asset bubble after an eight year debt binge is not "reflationary"...




Dollar "rally"
Oil "rally"
The ICARUS maximum risk rally
Volatility collapse
Amazonification of the Economy
Global Central Bank tightening

According to casino gamblers - 23 years and three economic cycles of income-less revenue growth has yet to prove the solvency of the direct-from-China delivery system.

Shocker to anyone who doesn't have a fucking brain...
