Weapons Headed To Libya: Hillary's Interventionist Disaster Continues To Spiral Out Of Control
In retrospect, Obama’s intervention in Libya was an abject failure, judged even by its own standards. Libya has not only failed to evolve into a democracy; it has devolved into a failed state. Violent deaths and other human rights abuses have increased severalfold. Rather than helping the United States combat terrorism, as Qaddafi did during his last decade in power, Libya now serves as a safe haven for militias affiliated with both al Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).
"What To Make Of It All?" - A Gloomy Preview Of What's Next In Global Macro From Morgan Stanley
What To Make Of It All? There are still 240 trading days left in 2016, and plenty of questions that need answers. How bad is the global economy? Is oil the driver of markets or a convenient excuse? How much bad news is really in the price? What could realistically improve things, tactically or strategically? Let's start with what we know. Global growth is weak, and our 2016 GDP forecasts remain around 0.2pp below consensus in both DM and EM.
With EMs And SWFs Pushing Markets Lower, Here Are The Three Dramatic Conclusions
Earlier today we showed an amazing schematic courtesy of Citi's Matt King: if one includes the reserve liquidation by various EMs and SWF, and nets it against liquidity injections by DM central banks (and the PBOC), one gets a perfect quantitative, not just qualitative, walk-thru on how to trade markets: in other words one can measure, using high frequency data in real-time, just where markets should trade based on liquidity flows, and promptly profit from any arbitrage opportunities.
Guest Post: Sarah Palin Is Making Sense (Really!)
Authored by Jon Schwarz, originally posted at The Intercept, While the New York Times ridiculed Sarah Palin’s speech endorsing Donald Trump yesterday as “mystifying,” a big portion of it was a non-mysterious, coherent attack on big money politics. It’s worth reading that whole portion: [Trump] is beholden to no one but we the people. ... Trump, what he’s been able to do, which is really ticking people off, which I’m glad about, he’s going rogue left and right, man. That’s why he’s doing so well. ...
"Dip Buying Is Officially Dead"
Back in November, JPM prophetically warned that "The long period of indiscriminately buying any dip might be coming to an end." Today it's official, and from the same JPM, in its closing day trading note we read that "dip buying is officially dead and stocks (esp. US ones) are no longer impressed by promises of central bank largess." From Adam Crisafulli's LookBack at the Market Market update – dip buying is officially dead and stocks (esp.
"What Planet Are We Living On?"
One follow up point to yesterday’s missive about why the economy seems to be converging in recession rather than full and blossoming recovery: There must be something said about the manner of redistribution in this “cycle” as different from all others. In other words, the Fed has been attempting greater and greater redistribution efforts via monetary interference ever since Solow and Samuelson predicted their disastrous “exploitable” Phillips Curve.
"Most Of Us Ended Up At Office Depot": Thousands Of Angry Students "Flood" Government With Demands For Debt Relief
Last summer, Corinthian Colleges closed its doors amid government scrutiny of for-profit colleges. The school - which had been the recipient of some $1.5 billion in annual federal aid funding - was variously accused of employing deceptive marketing practices, falsifying job placement records, and lying about graduation rates.
IMF Slashes Global Growth Outlook Again, Warning "Of Great Challenges" In Year Ahead
Three months ago, we noted that if there’s anything the IMF is good at, it’s cutting global growth forecasts, something the Fund did for the fourth time in twelve months in October. Of course the IMF wasn’t alone in adopting an increasingly dour outlook for global growth and trade. The WTO, the ADB, and the OECD all suggested that worldwide commerce was effectively grinding to a halt last year.
What Keeps Bank Of America's Junk Bond Analyst Up At Night
Over the last several weeks much has been made of the near-term risks of recession. Some have argued that the widening in high yield is suggestive of an economy that is ready to roll over and with the manufacturing sector already reeling and China growth concerns growing, we think the fears are well justified. However, given we are not economists we ask whether a recession is a necessary backdrop for further weakness in high yield. In our view, the answer is no.
