ASIAN MARKETS CRASH IN HEART ATTACK SESSION FROM HELL

The perfect scheme was concocted to annihilate the global economic order and upend it vis a vis bat soup. But we all know this virus was made in a lab, right? This weaponized version of SARS is wreaking havoc on the minds of people, ginned up and spun out of control. It’s out of the box, and central banks have no powder left in the keg, and OPEC concluded it’s better to crash oil now than later. This has all of the trimmings and the hallmarks of a hard reset.

Asian markets are off by 10%, absolute carnage out there.

Dow futures are down more than 650 and it’s starting to look like we’ll be LIMIT DOWN by the open. How does this get resolved? Well, it starts with everyone raising cash by selling treasuries, which is why the Fed stepped in today with $500b. Funny thing, yields still spiked. How much cash is parked in treasuries, globally? They’re all running for the exits because liquidity is nil. This is now a credit crisis, massive blow out in spreads. Mortgage yields are HIGHER because of the stress. California munis down 13% today. Fucking unreal stuff, which is why they need to SHUT IT DOWN.

To be honest, a bank holiday and exchange holiday might be exactly what the Doctor ordered. Set up a massive government LTRO and lend money to everyone — FREE CASH FOR ALL. Moral hazard? Well, that or you’ll be talking about how airplanes used to fly in the sky when that company Boeing used to exist. A Mad Max environ will descend upon you — electricity being turned the fuck off — cars no longer being made or sold — barely driven. Technology will be forgotten and man will once again hunt for his food.

You’ll walk thru Disney with your band of cannibals and cast your eyes upon the Magical Kingdom festooned with weeds and overgrown shrubs and tell your little cannibal children that “once upon a time — people used to have fun here.”

They’ll answer back “what’s fun Pa?”

    8% down one day. 10% down the next. A couple more days like that and you’re talking real losses.

    Indeed. Let’s say the corona virus thing just happened. Ok
    Has nothing to do with the drop in oil. If US does not approve of and allow this oil, Saudi Arabia does not do it. It’s that simple.

    So it’s being done on purpose – now.
    Why? What’s the angle? objective?

    When I told people Dow 20K may not hold last night, I didn’t quite mean it literally

        To those of us who knew all along that the Trump administration is the most incompetent administration for at least the last 100 years, none of this is surprising at all.

        While the people who voted for him deserve to lose everything and die, way too many innocent bystanders around the world are getting hurt.

          Exactly that plus the fact that you’re an idiot. Ok, not exactly that.

    The market is telling you to hold cash… At least for now. Is it a trick?

    Something stinks to high heaven with this Corona virus thing. They say if you have symptoms:
    Call your Dr. (like they will see you today)
    Don’t go to the ER.
    Isolate yourself.
    People said they had symptoms and were told they did not meet the criteria to be tested.

    Why are they not testing?
    1) they don’t have a good fucking test?
    2) they don’t have enough test kits?
    3) It’s a behind the scenes money grab of some sort. Cui bono?

      Maybe if they test everyone
      1) it would become obvious hardly anyone has the virus
      2) it would become obvious many have the virus

        In another week’s time (or two, tops), America will rank only second to China by the death tally.

        The only course of action is to let everyone get it, herd immunity, minus you know, millions of people.

      Some asshole dropped the ball. My guess is that Trump got in the way of people who sorta knew what they were doing. Standard Trump administration stuff.

        The incompetence excuse and the Twinkie defense have been overused. And Homer Simpson said he was going to play the race card.

        How could we possibly know someone would fly planes into buildings? Knock, knock, hello Commander, your boys were running drills that very day.

    I have said in the Past… when China catches a cold, ROW catches the Flu. I was close, but wrong virus, lol, ouch. Anyway, China started this mess in 2009 buying up all the commodities it could to support this world. They did it for 10 years plus. They had to slowdown in a big way cuz of the Massive Debt it took on and their oversupply. BTW, Kinda strange how the Virus hit just before Chinese New Year and doesn’t effect kids just old people (China I am raising an eyebrow at you). Anyway, China ain’t coming to the rescue and has successfully slowed down their economy and got out of a lot of bad contracts with Force Majeure. They are now all giddy about AI and hopes to be new Silicon Valley now that everyone has to stay home. Our Bulls SHOULD have never taken this market over SPX 1750 ish , but they did, which suckered in so many Mom and Pops that thought this game was easy. So unless China announces Microwaves and Cars for everyone, we are stuck with this Massive Ugly, Ugly, Ugly Bubble that took 10 years to create and nobody ever cared. For Corona, I am still shaking my head that we had the Los Angeles Marathon this past Saturday…history will look back and say, “what the heck where these fools thinking about”. Fly thank you…it has been too long.

    In other news America will print more money bankrupting Russia once again while a few Tomahawks pointed in Iran’s direction will get everyone’s attention bringing oil back to all time highs.

    Apple will sell a zillion phones – Amazon will listen in on your conversations and FaceBook will rip your face off

    I will be victorious with +30% by the end of the year.
