Very few safe havens out there, folks. Good luck to all. I am down to exactly three winning trades. Long GLD, European defense stocks, and short Apple.

A deal with Japan, or Korea, or the EU could spark a short-covering rally.

The generations after the Boomers do not care one whit for the market and investing, even for Gen X all of that has been placed out of reach and they see no benefit to the market personally for wealth generation.

This is supported by the fact that 80%+ of all stocks and bonds are held by 10% of the population. The truly “rich” have created this by destroying the middle class. Now there is little middle class left to care about things like investments and most are even happy to see the “rich” get soaked this way, as it literally has little impact on them being the “poor” working class.

I tell you that Germany is the last place I would put my money.

Treasuries are going down because many people use those for their possible margin calls. And that is happening so they are selling their treasuries to cover their margins. This includes big companies and little people both. China and democrats are no doubt selling them to harm Trump too.

Selling off US bonds?

If someone is selling, someone else is buying. No?

“first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory.”

That the US Congress plans to add $5 trillion in new debt has nothing to do with this. /s
