What never ceases to amaze me is how a tiny 11M regional population can cause such a fuss (Gold slips with euro in absence of Greek deal, U.S. rate hike signals) but maybe the real action is behind the curtain with China stocks recovers for third day, regulator curbs margin lending and Oil tumbles as Iran nuclear deal looms...

America used to be about true Capitalism and Investment.

We had a real economy, with real manufacturing, and real jobs.

Today's markets are rigged. Yes, rigged. Crony Capitalism rules.

And these clowns are not "investors."

They are worse than Vegas gamblers, playing with ficticious QE Federal Reserve "pumped" money.

A Day of Reckoning is coming.

• Rising Interest Rates Could Shock Investors - Roger Bootle, Daily Telegraph
• Why Investing Is Very Complicated - Sendhil Mullainathan, New York Times
• The Source of Rising Economic Worry - Noam Scheiber, New York Times
• Bernie Sanders: The Future Of The Democratic Party - Reason
