FLASH: YELLEN REQUIRES MEDICAL ATTENTION DURING SPEECH; FUTURES SPIKE 96

We are living in dark, dark times. I have a blogger writing for me who moved from the north east corridor of the United Steaks, left the business of professional money management, to oversea the destruction of mankind from the comfort of his volcano-side cottage.

During a speech today, Federal Reserve Chief, Janet Yellen, felt ill and needed to seek medical attention.

“Chair Yellen felt dehydrated at the end of a long speech under bright lights. As a precaution, she was seen by EMT staff on-site at U-Mass Amherst. She felt fine afterward and has continued with her schedule Thursday evening,” the Fed said in a statement.

Before that happened, futures were flat. After that happened, they spiked by 96.

INDEUD.

      98 analogue playing out nicely….gap and fade tomorrow would be spot on for setting the bear trap next week.

    Commenting on the real estate posts earlier- Here in the Washington DC area inventory is low, and much of the supply is “leftover” stock, now priced to perfection. Folks working the renovation game are gamely offering at ample prices. A nearby granny cottage was sold three months ago at about 150 K, maybe 35 K of work put in, and is now offered at about 300 K.

    Even at 750 K I see nothing I would really be motivated to buy. I read this as picked over inventory.

    Futs are still positive but considerably lower now. Maybe it was just a coincidence that they spiked after Yellen felt dehydrated but then was found to be doing fine.

    Doesn’t sound like a big deal, in any case– although Yellen’s dehydration makes as much sense as any other explanations the media have been giving for market movements.

    I liked how Yellen burped before getting off the stage.

      Came so close to barfing.. That would have made such an epic cover photo. Seriously – she was having a stroke or a seizure. I’m don’t buying the fatigue/dehydration story.

    I’m not qualified to comment on Yellen’s job performance.

    The physical part of aging and the mental part can go in different directions. To put it another way- the physical part of getting older absolutely sucks. Mentally, it can be fine. You can be at the top of anyone’s game mentally.
    The question is if your body is up to supporting it.

    Someone can be a physical wreck and still amazingly good at the thinking part.

    President Trump will assign Carl “the killer” Ichan as fed chair and his first victim will be grandma Yellen
