Good listen forgot about that one.

Side note.

Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema and even Tulsi Gabbard are smart enough to read these tea leaves and try to create a new Democratic Party.

I think a few more are going to smell the 2020 coffee. Time will tell on this current window.

I think caution is in order for now.

Walter Bagehot, one of the early editors of The Economist, wrote what came to be called Bagehot’s Dictum for central banks:
As the lender of last resort, during a financial or liquidity crisis, the central bank should lend freely, at a high interest rate, on good securities.

cef funds expected to drift down

one of the more accurate technicians on Seeking Alpo who I follow, with his prognostications on the upcoming direction of the markets. While I don't trade or invest on these predictions alone, I still find it helpful to get a perspective on the sentiment or psychology of the market as a reference point. If correct in his expectation for lower levels in the coming months, then there could be better buying opportunities in CEFs ahead.

According to the Quran, Sura An-Nur - Verse 2: The fornicatress and the fornicator, scourge you each one of them (with) a hundred stripes. And let not pity for them withhold you from enforcing the sentence of Allah, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.

Notice that the Quranic verse does not provide for the death penalty for adultery or fornication, that is arrived at through the hadith and Sharia law which are central to Islamic jurisprudence. The usual method of execution specified is stoning to death.

Tim Mynett began “conveniently asserting after their separation that he is nearly broke, and his business is floundering,” so a $70,000 cash infusion from Ilhan Omar’s campaign would be welcome, but possibly illegal, help for Mynett, according to Peter Flaherty, head of conservative watchdog group The National Legal and Policy Center.

In remarks quoted by the New York Post’s Nikki Schwab and Julia Marsh, Flaherty said, “This arrangement where Ilhan is paying her lover consulting fees could be illegal if he’s not doing the work.”

Ilhan Omar has a record of playing fast and loose with campaign finance laws, as complaints currently being reviewed in Minnesota show, so an investigation into exactly what kind of work Mynett was being paid to do is in order.

As appropriate as Quranic punishment for Rep. Ilhan Omar might appear, we think a better result would be for her devout Muslim constituents, her Democratic Party colleagues and the Federal Election Commission to all recognize her for the fraud and serial law-breaker that she is, and remove her as a stain on our body politic in the 2020 election, if not before.

Both local camps will not like the answer.
Some may begin to understand why its still on paper and pencil on the topic above.
Identity politics is always spin some.
The term concrete action will suffice.

Place your bets (or not). There's not much to say that isn't plainly evident. I am short. My suicide level increased 11 points last week (traded 11 points out of the market). The remaining permabear shorts should be very hard to kill if they've been able to hang on this long.

I have 808 points worth of ammo left before margins would liquidate me. I've been tracking my progress since May 3 when the futures closed at 2948. The close yesterday was 3235. Therefore, since May 3, the market has risen 287 points. In that time, I have lost 33 of those 287 points and avoided losing 254 points. What that means, in my case, is Trump and the Fed will need to markedly accelerate the rise in the market to blow me out. A "slow" rise like the past 8 months is not enough to blow out the highly skilled short traders who are left.

For what it's worth, my impression of the financial pundits on tv is
that, as a group, they're expecting at most slow growth next year.
Err... I mean this year. Generally speaking, Republican pundits are
predicting a higher stock market, since that will help Trump get
reelected, and Democratic pundits are predicting a lower stock market
since that will help Trump get defeated.

Thinking in terms of the worst case (greatest rise in the stock market) for this year, it would probably be negative interest rates in the US and a further expansion of QE to bonds (rather than just bills) as the economy continues to grow slowly. With that, they might be able to get the stock market to the point where I get blown out if I don't see it coming.

Alternative view on GD and the stock market. This has been the view of the linked site for some time. More and more seem to be subscribing to this view as price goes up.

[Higgenbotham]

My personal view remains that any further gains in the stock market will be zero to marginal at best.
