Case-Shiller Home Prices Jump Driven By West Coast Chinese Buyers
US Home prices rose 5.75% YoY according to Case-Shiller (the fastest rate since July 2014) as it appears the Chinese buyers are migrating south from Canada with Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco reported the highest year-over-year gains among the 20 cities with another month of double digit annual price increases.
SunEdison Plummets 40% On "Substantial Bankruptcy Risk" Warning
Just as we warned was likely, the once infamous hedge fund hotel US solar company SunEdison unit TerraForm Global said on Tuesday there was "substantial risk" that SunEdison would soon seek bankruptcy protection given liquidity difficulties, noting that "such an action would have a material adverse effect” on TerraForm Global. In 2016 alone, SUNE has collapsed from a hope-strewn $6 price to just 73c this morning... As we detailed last week, the sun is about to set for this solar company...
What Oil Production Freeze: Russia Just Revealed The Laughable Loophole In The OPEC "Agreement"
The main catalyst that pushed the price of oil from a 13 year low in early February, when crude briefly traded in the mid-$20 to well over 50% higher less than one month later in one of the world's most furious short squeezes, was the recurring infatuation with the fabricated narrative that OPEC would if not cut production then, then at least freeze it.
Chinese Take Over Canada's Real Estate Market, Buy One-Third Of All Vancouver Homes Sold In 2015
That’s from 33-year-old Kevin Oke, co-founder of LlamaZoo Interactive who left Vancouver for Victoria two years ago because he couldn’t afford to buy a home in his native city even while earning a generous salary as a lead designer at a video-game company whose clients included Atari and Ubisoft Entertainment SA. Kevin isn't the only one leaving.
"Let's Be Honest, Trump Is A Loser!": Elizabeth Warren Loses It, Goes Ballistic On The Donald
If you've ever watched Senator Elizabeth Warren grill a Fed chief on Capitol Hill you know that she's not one to mince words and she's not one that's easily impressed or intimidated. The darling of the liberal Democrats, Warren looms large over the 2016 race which many suspected she would run in. She didn't, but the Massachusetts Senator casts a long shadow and on Monday, she had apparently seen all she cared to see of GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.
Sweden's Refugee 'Crisis' Has "Gone Past The Breaking Point"
Sweden is too generous for its own good as the country most beloved by Bernie Sanders is pressured by huge migrant flows. As Bloomberg reports, when it comes to wealth, health and hospitality, Sweden has few rivals. But the same qualities that make the country a beacon of hope for the world’s huddled masses are straining it at the seams.
Frontrunning: February 15

Why Commercial Real Estate Is Next: 'Challenging Technicals' Are About To Become 'Weak Fundamentals'
For the past two years, while largely nonchalant with broader price levels, the Fed has been warning about two particular asset bubbles: that of easy lending particularly in junk bond, and of a commercial real estate bubble.

P2P Cracks Start To Show As LendingClub Write-Offs Double Forecasts
Despite these virtually irrefutable truths, the P2P industry is thriving and Wall Street’s securitization machine couldn’t be happier about it. As we reported last May, P2P loan volume was set to surpass $76 billion in 2015 and one driver of the boom is demand from the likes of BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman, who have all underwritten securitizations of loans originated on P2P platforms like LendingClub, the number one player in the space.

More Bad News For The Fed: CPI Drops In December Despite Rising Shelter Prices
Great news for American Consumers - the price of the stuff you buy with stagnant incomes dropped in December by 0.1% (missing expectations of a 0.0% move). But what's good for Americans is bad news for The Fed as this is a resumption of deflation from mid-2015, and the biggest miss since January 2015. And then there is the ugly news that behind ths headline is a 3.7% surge in shelter costs YoY.
Housing Starts Miss, Permits Beat Despite Drop In Rentals
Today's batch of housing data, namely the December update of housing starts and permits, which as a reminder has a quite substantial "confidence interval" was relatively uneventful. Total housing starts of 1,149K was a drop from last month's upward revised 1,179K, and a miss to the 1,200K expected.
Could The ECB Go 'Full Retard' On The Back Of The Oil Price Crash?
More than six weeks after the governing council of the European Central Bank has met in Frankfurt, the ECB has finally published the minutes of the meeting which paved the way for a disappointing action from the ECB. The expectations before the meeting and monthly decisions were set very high, and the market was clearly disappointed with a deposit rate cut that was just 0.10%, resulting in a new deposit rate of -0.30%.
The Fed's Stunning Admission Of What Happens Next
Following an epic global stock rout, one which has wiped out trillions in market capitalization, it has rapidly become a consensus view (even by staunch Fed supporters such as the Nikkei Times) that the Fed committed a gross policy mistake by hiking rates on December 16, so much so that this week none other than former Fed president Kocherlakota openly mocked the Fed's credibility when he pointed out the near record plunge in forward breakevens suggesting the market has called the Fed's bluff...
Obama Takes Iran Victory Lap - Live Feed
Things got a little rocky last week when Iran seized 10 sailors and 2 US Navy boats near Farsi Island on the eve of Obama's final state-of-the-union address, but by Saturday ("Implementation Day") the crewmen and their vessels were back in American hands, four American hostages including Jason Rezaian were free, and John Kerry was in Vienna to put the finishing touches on the administration's crowing achievement.
Sweden's Foreign Minister Barred From Israel After Calling For "Extrajudicial Killings" Probe
Having upset The Sauds (by exposing the truth about The Kingdom's subjugation of women and medieval laws), and hurt relations with Saudi Arabia, Swedish foreign minister Margot Wallstrom has now made an enemy of another Middle-East nation. Israel has barred Wallstrom from entering their nation after she called for investigations into "extrajudicial killings" during recent violence.
Virginia Senator: "Saudi Arabia And Turkey Are The Greatest Threats To World Peace"
Last year, we noted with some incredulity that when it comes to US foreign policy in the Mid-East, someone inside the Beltway actually "gets it". That someone is Hawaii Democrat Tulsi Gabbard who knows something about the region thanks to the fact that she served in the Middle East - twice. Now, she’s sponsoring a bipartisan bill to stop what she calls an “illegal” war against the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. It’s not necessarily that Gabbard is a fan of Assad.
"Trump Could Win It All": 20% Of Democrats Say They'd Vote For Trump Over Hillary
At this point, it’s become abundantly clear that Donald Trump’s brazen rhetoric and unorthodox campaign strategy (which primarily involves simply saying whatever pops into his head with no filter whatsoever) isn’t a liability. In fact, the bellicose billionaire’s style and penchant for controversy has catapulted the real estate mogul to the top of the polls leaving but one serious challenger (Ted Cruz) for the GOP nomination.
