So, you're saying that credits are king? Or was that Kredits? Really, all my cash in my accounts are "cash". So, tradmark KASH

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

All year we have been tracking the strength in the weakness on this thread. The EU continues to fracture(Italian vote) and China has implemented capital controls not seen in 20 years because they are hemorrhaging $$$$$ from everywhere... but boy have bonds gotten cheap over the last while here. Kash is king!

Watch out for 2013?

LOL... When the world was going to "end" in 2012 and we were all having fun poking the bear, I kept saying, "watch out for 2013 though." Watch out meant that the trends that appeared in 2013 would lead to a stall in 2014.. All you have to do is look at the chart of earnings to see that is exactly what happened.

Since we know the run up in earnings from a low in 2009 was slow and steady US growth mixed with BRICS, and we know the US is still growing slow and steady, we know that as of 2013 major issues surfaced in the BRICS. Those issues have built over the last two years, and now they are front and center.

Now, had Putin not pulled his BS maybe by the end of next year and into 2018 we could be talking about a world wide recovery moving onto the next phase of our economic evolution. However, Putin did pull his BS and as life always is, we will have to get through a setback first.

Will There Be A Financial Crisis in 2017?

I am a fixed income analyst with a fascination for patterns. Here’s one to consider: since the Bretton Woods Agreement ended in the 1970s, there has been a financial crisis in the seventh year in three of the last four decades: 1987, 1997, 2007. One way or another, every crisis has involved Asia.....

.....So, if you ask me whether we are going to have another global financial crisis in 2017…I would say the odds are good. This one probably started in 2013 and by now is well under way.

Well, if we are hit by a 125 ton asteroid the $$$$$ will be worthless.  Think food! Oil and life under ground!! So what is King?  


Frogs or  

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

The way China has developed, it's almost like their ecology has been hit by an asteroid.. and their yunRmB is taking a beating... even better than oil, pure carbon so we can do whatever we want?? And it can sit in a pile...

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

So what is King?

It does have a nice ring to it now that I think about it.... CARBON is King!!

[tyfighter3]

LOL, everything is reduced to Carbon in the end and yes it can sit in a pile.

Just as the oil and gas sector is showing some life, and even though President Trump will be laying out pro growth plans, there is still a massive debt issue....

This is what I was talking about a couple months back with opportunities in shopping malls per your study on reduced energy consumption and that Ranch north of town here....

Maybe less, but it's also about LOCAL!!!

his is from the old Board: Your Balanced Portfolio...



Effect of Bonds on your Sharpe index..Max Return with lest risk..



I got a cold call the other day from from a broker that was sure I needed to AA.. A very cyclical stock to say the least. I told him I had a limited income and lived on my dividends and interest.

I could not risk capital.. That took any stock off the table with a beta of 2.6.



He keep going on and on about how I would make 40%.. Dispute the fact that AA has gone from 9.5 to 17 or 61% F Retrenchment. Next I told him I was overweight stock and needed to add Bonds to my Portfolio.. He told me I was a fool with bonds.. He never bought bonds.



Told him again I am retired.. now that should alone tell him this was not a stock for me. He thought the 30 Year T-Bonds was a bad investment.

Why would he care that he is now offering bad advice.. All He wanted was that cold call to make him money no mater what it cost me. I think at this point he was not keeping the " Goodness of fit " rule for brokers..



I told him he was asking me to lower my income. So What is your return and your Sharpe index.. now i get the dial tone.. Buy the way .. Bonds have produce better returns for the last 10 years with less risk.

For the game.. Record..



the 50/50 re-balancer system is also a pro-beta trading system... Check out the Standard Devastation for Bonds!!! You can use 0.5 to 3 beta.. it is all about risk and bond can be as high risk as you want!!! gold ETF are all about high risk!! very high Risk



more on the system later after we get a little feedback..This can be fun.. It is also about risk and

Market action...

The good professor hit it on the head; the FED bailed out AIG because of insurance...

It's awesome to go back to some of these older conversations due to evolution... So now we have to ask, is the Sharpe ratio an accurate way of assessing risk in today's world?? For some reason I can't get the story of wine bottles and bonds out of my mind.

To be fair you would have to have all the e-mails to understand A++++ note.  We are changing by adding high beta stocks vs 30 year
T bonds in the old fashion 50/50 system.  My A++ account is more about study of Efficient Frontier Study with "Big Data" that is in fact also 100% "House Money".  The result of this study  has been reported here and on Super Fed Watch for over 8 years.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Bitcoin may have appreciated 300% in the last 12 months, but Morgan Stanley still isn't convinced the cryptocurrency will be a viable currency in the long run.



In new research published this week, analysts at the bank say that bitcoin (and its counterparts like ethereum) are still more like investment vehicles than fiat currency that you could spend on goods and services. In addition, it said there are few reasons to use bitcoin instead of a debit or credit card, as it represents a "marginally more inconvenient way to pay."



Here's Morgan Stanley:



Most regulators and investors view cryptocurrencies more as assets than actual currencies. Their values are too volatile and too hard to actually use for payment for most to consider them currencies. Our conversations with some merchants indicate that, while cryptocurrencies might actually be attractive for them to operate their businesses, they find that the cryptocurrencies are far too volatile to be used.
Is it justme or is this looking like the Tulip price clime ?  Better to sell then buy and look who owns the TULIP market!

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Agreed about the crypto-currency; however, Ethereum isn't ether. Ethereum is all about using big data to operate more Efficiently on the Frontier AKA.. making U$D. Like you said; node #1: all about the way of the future money making machine.
