Thursday it's Keynesian military blunders 101. And Friday it's bailout management for when it all crashes unexpectedly"



Recall 2014 Imagined Realities, via Zerohedge:
"There are times when an investor has no choice but to behave as though he believes in things that don't necessarily exist.

Yet it seems to have entered a bull market and may be where we deploy much more of our risk capital next year. That's because the recent exuberant run up in onshore Chinese equities seems to me to amply demonstrate the power of imagined realities"
