Oligarchs trying to pull up the bridge over the moat.

Oligarch oath: I ______ promise and swear to uphold the Oligarch Status Quo to the best of my abilities. If I fail to do my sworn duty I will suffer the penalty of a loss of all wealth, a major scandal and Cell Block C (where I am the main course). So help me God.

Netflix ... what a fuck up decision that was.

Is the Fed doing another reverse repo? I see yields heading higher. Is it that there are some parties who don't want to buy 10yr & 30yr bonds with yields under 2.00% & 3.00% respectively?

How come nobody protests the rich guys in Silicon Valley?

Andy T said...

How come the protestors aren't protesting in D.C.?

It was DC that gave Wall Street the cash....it was Ben Bernanke and Co. that enabled a lot of this shit.

It's funny how the history of things gets skewed.

also, I find it *interesting that it takes a 'brush with De*th' to get Co.s to 'move off "dead-center"' (as above 'announcements' allude to..)

and, as with "Pick-Up" Trucks, coming more 'full-featured'--from the Factory--after Sales 'nose-dived'..

I recommend buying some 10y and 30y this week. We have had a big move up in yields, but I don't see a 4-5% GDP on the horizon !

We will probably buy some bonds today or tomorrow. Partly this is a short-term hedge for our HYG position.

Not madly bearish like you lot but fairly cautious - as I think everyone should be after a silly low volume squeeze day.
