Central banks intervened so much in fabricated "markets" that they killed it. No volatility, no price discovery, no range, no breadth, no liquidity. Just horrendous. Nothing but some market maker algos and ESF contrived illusion in a ghost town. Eventual collapse is inevitable.

Tell us you lost control of Financialized Casino Complex without telling us. Panic in the air. How about not intervening at all and letting natural order do its thing. It's called a "Free Market" (true Capitalism). Supposed to be a U.S. principle. Central planning is the problem!
THE US TREASURY HAS ASKED MAJOR BANKS WHETHER IT SHOULD BUY BACK SOME US GOVERNMENT BONDS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE MARKET LIQUIDITY.

Reminder for those who truly want to eat some "Suits," the best way to do it is $VIX gamma squeeze. They aren't fans of disruptive volatility. Where are the Apes and their call options? It's coming one way or the other - inevitable.

JUST IN: Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic had to restate financial disclosures for the past five years and found violations—including more than 150 transactions during restricted ā€œblackoutā€ periods—because he didn’t understand his disclosure obligations.

Now 3 Fed Presidents involved in #FedGate trading scandal and likely only scratches surface. These people have been operating unchecked for far too long. Their policy drastically impacts every American. Must know they're operating in best interest of public, not their own profit.

In 1929 Market Cap to GDP (top indicator of overvaluation) was near 100%. In 2000 it was over 150%. Both preceded major corrections. Current 2021 super bubble is around 215%. Any questions?

WHAT STAGE OF CAPITALISM IS THIS? "Months after Intel’s lobbyists won microchip companies billions of dollars of government subsidies, Intel is reportedly planning to lay off thousands of workers - right after giving shareholders a $6 billion dividend." levernews.com/intels-multi-b…

Haitian soldiers risked & gave their lives fighting alongside the Patriots during the American Revolution in Savannah in 1779. This monument in Savannah honors their service. Several who participated in the American independence war also fought in the war for Haitian independence

Let this sink in—Black people are more likely to know someone who died of #COVID. As result, African-Americans support wearing masks the most—because they suffered the most financially and personally. Let’s have empathy for others. It’s called humanity. #BringMasksBack
Most likely to support continued mask wearing: Black people, and people making <$40K / year. Black ppl also more likely to know someone who died of Covid, and to have had finances adversely impacted by it.

9) MISSING FROM PRIOR WEEKLY REPORTS—someone asked me why the leaker and I are upset… it’s not just CDC posting once a week—the #BQ1 & #BQ11 should have been reported to be surging in prior weekly reports, but they weren’t! CDC has a rule to report any variant over 1%—epic fail.

Love how Kwarteng’s statement says ā€˜The economic environment has changed rapidly since we set out the Growth Plan on 23 September’ as if these were two random, unconnected events
