A Con Man For All Seasons

Of course, getting in on zero volume was easy...

Unfortunately, a few of us have seen this Central Bank contrived Jedi Mind Trick before. Last time of course, gamblers didn't assume that the ultra-low volume/volatility vacation from reality would last forever, because it didn't. It ended with the Emerging Markets rally. 

This time they assume it will last forever..




Unfortunately, the EM rally rolled over this week. An advent that was fully ignored by gamblers...



Almost one year since the election and today's blow-off top is compliments of Trump's imaginary tax cut, what else?

This melt-up is only about one thing: Wall Street




And of course momentum



The smart money is selling into the blow-off top. Active Managers have the lowest exposure since the election:





Gamblers are ignoring the 'Conomy
















Unfortunately, at the top there's only one person left to con

Yourself







Careful what you wish for...
