many wonder just how will the world's central planners mask this most dangerous aspect of the global economic slowdown?

Throughout most of history they have done this by engineering a HUGE FRIGGIN' WAR.

So, how is the derivative insanity overhang going to be wrapped up?

You should have a graph of the Baltic Dry Index with your analysis. I think the freefall is indicated there too.

Talk about getting distracted. The ship picture got most of my attention as a former sailor. I always wondered about containership loads; about how they kept all that stuff stable at sea. Well, it looks like things can and do go wrong. I doubt the ship had much in the way of counter flooding capability, so I hope it was close to land or the seas stayed calm.

...an even more dramatic drop off as 2015 is winding down.

It's all winding down... Trump's our best chance of surviving this... he does understand money.

I don’t know.

Our trade deficit with the People’s Republic of China is at an all-time high last year, and is still growing this year.

Bring back American jobs.
