Why Hasn’t Trump Tweeted About The Stock Market This Week…?!? (Spoiler Alert: A Sunday Night Shocker Is Coming, Or, He Would Have To Say It’s “Pricing In A Biden Win”)

At least a shock-n-awe event , or a Biden win , will be much “ better for gold ” than Trump will ever be ( or supposedly was ) … Why has Trump left “ market participants ” hanging this week ?
As we can see , President Trump was quite vocal about financial conditions and getting the Fed to spring into action on multiple occasions .
The Fed did spring into action , by the way , on Sunday night , March 15th , with an emergency rate cut right straight down to zero !
Or at least the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ played-out post-2008 financial crisis range of 0.0 % to 0.25 % .
It ’ s funny how that works out , isn ’ t it ?
That is to say , apparently rate hikes can only be done during official , 2-day FOMC Circus Side Shows , but by golly , the Fed can cut rates any time they darn well feel like cutting them !
In other words , if you ’ re gambling in the rigged casino and you like the Fed induced price discovery , that ’ s right folks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the Fed induced price discovery !
And on that note , here ’ s a rhetorical question for the Fed Apologists , Fed Armchair Quarterbacks , Fed Enablers and Fed Sympathizers : How does it feel knowing there will be a swift relegation to Cargo Cult status at best after the economic collapse and hyperinflation of the US dollar ?
I ’ m not smart enough to know .
But I suppose the worst would be akin to finding out what they did to the Nazi apologists , armchair quarterbacks , enablers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It would be something like that .
Are we really supposed to believe Trump has nothing to say about the stock market ?
Or is it perhaps because of prior things he ’ s had to say , such as this : If the stock market is the “ greatest leading indicator of them all ” , then it ’ s not looking good for the home team .
Or perhaps Trump is silent because of Tweets like this : Of course , since there ’ s only one person in the entire @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the unknown universe , who can have his cake and also eat it , and no , it ’ s not Chuck Norris , then I suppose Trump does not get the blame for a falling stock market ?
Of course , when you ’ re a Deep State Globalist in Patriot ’ s Clothing , that ’ s exactly what you do : You sell Joe Deplorable down the river .
OK , “ Hey Half Dollar , you still don ’ t get it man , for President Donald J.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ where he wants them , and besides , Trump is playing 4-D Chess , something you ’ d never be able to understand , and he ’ s already two moves ahead of the Lunatic Left with some sweet moves coming , so just sit back and enjoy the show !
” .
You know , I was going to respond to that , but on second thought , I ’ m going to save my energy for the Walmart Zombies .
I could , after all , use an extra bag of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Aside from calling the crashing stock market last Friday , this week , I discussed some rather interesting things with Craig Hemke : Thank you for your consideration .
Oh yeah , and when it comes to the latest scandal about You Know What , it does kind of make one wonder if this isn ’ t the plan : Because why would it not be , at best , another four years of letdown ?
OK , “ Hey Half Dollar , what would it be at worst ?
” .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the park , that ’ s for sure .
Unless , of course , your park is located inside of Camp FEMA and you are given walking privileges !
In the end , right now , I really don ’ t know who will “ win ” the election , as in , which candidate the Deep State Globalists will select to be “ President ” , for I really do think it comes down to whether there ’ s anything left in America to be sold down the river , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ d guess Biden , in part because it would be too hard for Trump to drag his feet for another four years on throwing even the tiniest of bones to the Red Hats .
Ok , “ Hey Half Dollar , what about Trump ’ s Supreme Court Picks , you ’ ve got to at least give credit for that ?
” .
What , so the Supreme Court can just hold up more of the Federal Government ’ s Unconstitutional actions as Constitutional ?
Thanks , but no thanks .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that ’ s taking place , Dr Copper is giving his diagnosis to anybody who will listen : The Era of Hyperinflation has begun .
Crude oil is finally taking that trip South I ’ ve been looking for : Is crude oil a leading indicator of the stock market , and could the decline have only just begun ?
People are probably shocked with a rising yield on the 10-Year Note : Of course , if they want to get another leg down in the stock market , they could also bid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to help improve the ambience .
If the dollar is going to 100 , now is the time : That would be some bull trap , wouldn ’ t it ?
If the Deep State Globalists want to continue to push the narrative that “ the Deep State is out to get Trump ” , I ’ d expect “ market participants ” to be full of fear : A gap-up in fear wouldn ’ t be surprising at all , and , in fact , I ’ m kind of expecting it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just too much juicy goodness to let the stock market sit with little movement over the next two days : We must remember , however , we are , in part , dealing with a B-rate hollywood flunkie and wannabe special effects artist turned Treasury Secretary , Stevie Boy , and since hollywood ’ s scripts have long since had any originality , we could see the underdog making a comeback on Monday , only to come up short on Tuesday with the game turning back into a rout .
Besides , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US economy once and for all , why would they not want the financial damages done to Joe Deplorable , or at least anybody who ’ s left with money in , and trusting , the financial system , so absolutely devastating that financial damages last for years if not for the rest of Joe Deplorable ’ s life ?
Platinum will spring to life much faster than people realize : All things considered , platinum is deeply discounted right now .
If the charts matter , palladium ’ s short term trend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a little lower from here , I think it ’ s a bear trap .
The paper gold-to-silver ratio is still in the upper 70s : Of course it is .
For now , they ’ ve done one heck of a job on the gold daily chart : They ’ ve even managed to keep gold well below its 50-day moving average !
They ’ ve got silver looking even more deathly , just in time for Halloween : The chart may look real scary , but there ’ s a funny @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The bottom line as we find ourselves here this beautiful Friday in late October ?
The stock market is crashing while the sheeple ’ s election anxiety builds .
President Trump hasn ’ t said a word about the stock market in weeks .
And the sheeple are now fully convinced that “ their guy ” will win .
Be them sheep of the red fleece variety , or of the blue fleece .
The drama is building , and , well , we ’ re dealing with evil .
Evil loves to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Halloween .
Somebody knows what ’ s in store this weekend .
The question is , “ what will be the shock ” ?
Because it seems like we ’ re overdue .
Only , this time , on US soil .

via silverdoctors:
At least a shock-n-awe event, or a Biden win, will be much “better for gold” than Trump will ever be (or supposedly was)…
Why has Trump left “market participants” hanging this week?
He’s been vocal before.
Let’s revisit the scary-scary stock market crash from March:
As we can see, President Trump was quite vocal about financial conditions and getting the Fed to spring into action on multiple occasions.
The Fed did spring into action, by the way, on Sunday night, March 15th, with an emergency rate cut right straight down to zero!
Or at least the Fed cut rates down to the multi-year played-out post-2008 financial crisis range of 0.0% to 0.25%.
It’s funny how that works out, isn’t it?
That is to say, apparently rate hikes can only be done during official, 2-day FOMC Circus Side Shows, but by golly, the Fed can cut rates any time they darn well feel like cutting them!
In other words, if you’re gambling in the rigged casino and you like the Fed induced price discovery, that’s right folks, you can keep your rigged casino and the Fed induced price discovery!
And on that note, here’s a rhetorical question for the Fed Apologists, Fed Armchair Quarterbacks, Fed Enablers and Fed Sympathizers: How does it feel knowing there will be a swift relegation to Cargo Cult status at best after the economic collapse and hyperinflation of the US dollar?
And at worst?
Heck, I don’t know.
I’m not smart enough to know.
I’m an idiot, right?
But I suppose the worst would be akin to finding out what they did to the Nazi apologists, armchair quarterbacks, enablers and sympathizers after World War II.
It would be something like that.
But I digress.
Are we really supposed to believe Trump has nothing to say about the stock market?
Or is it perhaps because of prior things he’s had to say, such as this:
STOCK MARKET UP ANOTHER 300 POINTS – GREATEST LEADING INDICATOR OF THEM ALL!!! DON’T RUIN IT WITH SLEEPY JOE!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 12, 2020
If the stock market is the “greatest leading indicator of them all”, then it’s not looking good for the home team.
Or perhaps Trump is silent because of Tweets like this:
Stock Market Up Big. Do I get no credit for this? Never even mentioned by the Fake News. A New Record for Stocks and Jobs Growth. Remember, “it’s the Economy Stupid”. VOTE!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 12, 2020
Of course, since there’s only one person in the entire universe, in both the known universe and the unknown universe, who can have his cake and also eat it, and no, it’s not Chuck Norris, then I suppose Trump does not get the blame for a falling stock market?
Meh.
Doesn’t matter.
He left the Red Hats hanging.
Of course, when you’re a Deep State Globalist in Patriot’s Clothing, that’s exactly what you do: You sell Joe Deplorable down the river.
OK, “Hey Half Dollar, you still don’t get it man, for President Donald J. Trump has got the Deep State right where he wants them, and besides, Trump is playing 4-D Chess, something you’d never be able to understand, and he’s already two moves ahead of the Lunatic Left with some sweet moves coming, so just sit back and enjoy the show!”.
You know, I was going to respond to that, but on second thought, I’m going to save my energy for the Walmart Zombies.
I could, after all, use an extra bag of rice or two.
Shameless plug time: Aside from calling the crashing stock market last Friday, this week, I discussed some rather interesting things with Craig Hemke:
Thank you for your consideration.
Oh yeah, and when it comes to the latest scandal about You Know What, it does kind of make one wonder if this isn’t the plan:
Because why would it not be, at best, another four years of letdown?
OK, “Hey Half Dollar, what would it be at worst?”.
Well, it would not a walk in the park, that’s for sure.
Unless, of course, your park is located inside of Camp FEMA and you are given walking privileges!
In the end, right now, I really don’t know who will “win” the election, as in, which candidate the Deep State Globalists will select to be “President”, for I really do think it comes down to whether there’s anything left in America to be sold down the river, but if I had to guess, I’d guess Biden, in part because it would be too hard for Trump to drag his feet for another four years on throwing even the tiniest of bones to the Red Hats.
Ok, “Hey Half Dollar, what about Trump’s Supreme Court Picks, you’ve got to at least give credit for that?”.
What, so the Supreme Court can just hold up more of the Federal Government’s Unconstitutional actions as Constitutional?
Thanks, but no thanks.

Crude oil is finally taking that trip South I’ve been looking for:
Is crude oil a leading indicator of the stock market, and could the decline have only just begun?
People are probably shocked with a rising yield on the 10-Year Note:
Of course, if they want to get another leg down in the stock market, they could also bid up the bond market and crash yield to help improve the ambience.
If the dollar is going to 100, now is the time:
That would be some bull trap, wouldn’t it?
If the Deep State Globalists want to continue to push the narrative that “the Deep State is out to get Trump”, I’d expect “market participants” to be full of fear:
A gap-up in fear wouldn’t be surprising at all, and, in fact, I’m kind of expecting it.
You see, there’s just too much juicy goodness to let the stock market sit with little movement over the next two days:
We must remember, however, we are, in part, dealing with a B-rate hollywood flunkie and wannabe special effects artist turned Treasury Secretary, Stevie Boy, and since hollywood’s scripts have long since had any originality, we could see the underdog making a comeback on Monday, only to come up short on Tuesday with the game turning back into a rout.
Besides, if the Deep State Globalists are crashing the US economy once and for all, why would they not want the financial damages done to Joe Deplorable, or at least anybody who’s left with money in, and trusting, the financial system, so absolutely devastating that financial damages last for years if not for the rest of Joe Deplorable’s life?
Platinum will spring to life much faster than people realize:
All things considered, platinum is deeply discounted right now.
If the charts matter, palladium’s short term trend has changed:
Even of we go a little lower from here, I think it’s a bear trap.
The paper gold-to-silver ratio is still in the upper 70s:
Of course it is.
For now, they’ve done one heck of a job on the gold daily chart:
They’ve even managed to keep gold well below its 50-day moving average!
They’ve got silver looking even more deathly, just in time for Halloween:
The chart may look real scary, but there’s a funny thing about hyperinflation, you know?
The bottom line as we find ourselves here this beautiful Friday in late October?
The stock market is crashing while the sheeple’s election anxiety builds.
President Trump hasn’t said a word about the stock market in weeks.
And the sheeple are now fully convinced that “their guy” will win.
Be them sheep of the red fleece variety, or of the blue fleece.
The drama is building, and, well, we’re dealing with evil.
Evil loves to celebrate on days like, ohh, Halloween.
Somebody knows what’s in store this weekend.
The question is, “what will be the shock”?
Because it seems like we’re overdue.
For some US-style shock-n-awe.
Only, this time, on US soil.
Use this time wisely.
Pre-game risks?
Are starting?
So soon?
Indeed.
They.
Are.
Stack accordingly…

Covid Strikes (paraphrasing Lou Christie).
Zumper, the apartment site, just released their apartment rents for October. And they are horrifying for the owners of rental properties (but a blessing for renters, of course).

San Francisco and New York, the Covid shutdown leaders, still have the highest apartment rents in the nation. Washington DC is the seventh most expensive city.
San Francisco and New York are seeing huge declines in both 1 and 2 bedroom units.
Oddly, Chicago’s rents are increasing. Two faces have the rental market.

The last day or so has brought economic activity in the Euro area into focus. Last night brought a reminder that November was going to be difficult in France via all the reports of the traffic logjam in Paris as Parisians tried to find somewhere else to spend the new lockdown. We also had the ECB policy meeting of which more later as first we get to see what happened in the third quarter for the 2 biggest economies. France was first to release its numbers.
In Q3 2020, GDP in volume terms bounced back: +18.2% after –13.7% in Q2 2020. Nevertheless, GDP remained well below the level it had before the health crisis: measured in volume, compared to its level in Q3 2019 (year-on-year), GDP of Q3 2020 was 4.3% lower.
Yet again the expectations of analysts were wrong ( much too low) in spite of the fact that the theme was effective leaked by ECB President Lagarde in the press conference yesterday. After all she would have known the numbers.
Lagarde: As you know, the number for the third quarter will be coming out I believe tomorrow, and might surprise on the upside.
The bit that was a surprise to me was this at a time of large government intervention.
while general government expenditure slightly exceeded it (+0.4% year-on-year).
Moving on we saw Germany next to release its numbers.
WIESBADEN – The gross domestic product (GDP) rose by 8.2% in the third quarter of 2020 on the second quarter of 2020 after adjustment for price, seasonal and calendar variations…… GDP in the third quarter of 2020 was down a price-ajusted 4.1% on the third quarter of 2019 (price- and calendar-adjusted: -4.3%).
So at this point we have a similar pattern with a fall of around 4% which means we are Looking at numbers around 1% worse that the USA. I note that Italy has fallen into the same pattern.
In the third quarter of 2020 the seasonally and calendar adjusted, chained volume measure of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased by 16.1 per cent with respect to the previous quarter, whereas it decreased by 4.7 per cent over the same quarter of 2019.
Both typically and sadly our Girlfriend in a coma has down slightly worse, but there is a need to take care as the numbers will be less accurate than usual due to collection difficulties. Also if there is ever a tear where seasonal adjustment will be inaccurate this is it and that is before we get to the impact of issues like this.
The third quarter of 2020 has had four working days more than the previous quarter and one working day
more than the same quarter of previous year.
More Trouble?
We got a hint of things turning for the worse from the German retail sales release.
WIESBADEN – According to provisional data, turnover in retail trade in September 2020 was in real terms 2.2% and in nominal terms 2.6% (both adjusted for calendar and seasonal influences) lower than in August 2020.
As you can see one of the factors driving the German economy forwards looks to have weakened at the end of the quarter. The annual comparison still looks strong but we need to take around 3% away from it to allow for the extra day.
In September 2020, the turnover in retail rose by 6.5% (real) and 7.7% (nominal) compared to the same month of the previous year, where the September 2020 had one day of sale more. In comparison to February 2020, the month before the outbreak of Covid 19 in Germany, the turnover in September 2020 was 2.8% higher.
What next for the ECB?

As I pointed out earlier the ECB will have been aware that the third quarter in isolation had outperformed. But it was also aware that the passage to the end of the year and maybe beyond was not. That has been confirmed by its survey of professional forecasters this morning.
However, due to the emergence of new COVID-19 cases in the recent weeks, many forecasters now assumed a weaker fourth quarter 2020 and that the economy would remain affected by restrictions (albeit not complete lockdowns) well into 2021.
That in essence is the shift we are seeing and let me add that it puts 2021 on a weak opening and also what if the lockdown cycle repeats again?
The ECB response was as we expected to kick the can to its next meeting.
The full Governing Council was in total agreement to analyse the current economic situation and to recognise and acknowledge the fact that risks are clearly, clearly tilted to the downside. We all acknowledge the role and the importance as a driving force of the pandemic and the increase of contagion, as well as the impact that containment measures will have on the economy. So it is with that recognition and that acknowledgement that we agreed, all of us, that it was necessary to take action, and therefore to recalibrate our instruments at our next Governing Council meeting. ( President Lagarde )
Perhaps the most revealing bit here was the shift of language as “tools” have morphed into “instruments”. That may turn out to be like the way “The Troika” became “The Institutions” as things went from bad to worse in Greece.
Then we got more from Christine Lagarde.
So the teams, the committees, staff members are already at work in order to do this recalibration exercise, and this recalibration exercise will touch on all our instruments. It is not going to be one or the other. It is not going to be looking at one single instrument. It will be looking at all our instruments, how they interact together, what will be the optimal outcome, and what will be the mix that will best address the situation.
I do love the way this is presented as a scientific enterprise! But suddenly quite a few extra things are in play via the mention of “all our instruments”. For example another interest-rate now looks to be in play. Maybe the ECB might buy more private-sector instruments such as equities too. Up to now it has only bought bonds,but should the equity market falls continue maybe it will spread its wings. I suggested back on March the 2nd that it could be the next central bank to but equities and it seems such thoughts have arrived at the Financial Times.
“New Instruments” If BOJ is the blueprint, ECB already buy government, corporates bonds and commercial paper. One thing missing… stock ETFs? ( Stephen Spratt)
Comment
We see that the ECB is strongly hinting that it is preparing what has become called a Bazooka although I suppose in the circumstances Panzerfaust may be better. But if we look at what is its main policy tool right now it is already pretty much flat out.
But, according to calculations by Citigroup, ECB purchases will more than cover the extra cash that governments need in 2021 — even if the central bank does not scale up its €1.35tn emergency bond-buying programme by another €500bn in December as is widely expected. Christine Lagarde, the ECB’s president, hinted at a policy-setting meeting on Thursday that further stimulus is on the way. (Financial Times)
Actually to my mind the precise figures do not matter because if there is a miss match and bond yields start to rise I expect the ECB to raise its rate of purchases. The numbers above omit the 20 billion Euros a month of the pre-exisiting QE scheme but as I just said the principle here is that they will implicitly ( they do not buy in the primary market) finance the deficits.
The ongoing problem remains that there is never any exit strategy as highlighted from Japan earlier this week.

investmentwatchblog--2020-11-01--Halloween Madness Tears Stock Market to Shreds

Investors will start to realize the economy is not recovering in August , I said .
As result , the stock market will break sometime in August or September , I said .
It will likely experience an even bigger plunge as an October surprise , I said , because something about October loves a Halloweenish surprise for stocks .
The bull gets ripped to shreds The post-COVID market put in its last peak right as we shifted from August into September .
September was recognized as a generally bad month for stocks .
Stocks took another plunge in October @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dow in the final week , making October an even worse month for stocks than September was .
Two months in a row of back-to-back declines .
While October ’ s surprise did not run as deep or surprising as I was thinking we ’ d see , it nevertheless was enough to break a few records .
Zero Hedge referred to it as “ Shocktober , ” claiming stocks had experienced their worst pre-election plunge in history .
It was also their worst drop since the horrendous March 2020 crash where one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1929 to find a crash that went deeper though not steeper .
September and October experienced week after week of drawdowns .
The few good weeks in the mix were not enough to offset the much worse bad weeks .
Or as The Wall Street Journal put it , And March was as horrible as hell , itself , so saying it was the “ worst since March ” is like saying “ it was my worst date since my night out with Freddie Krueger.
” The Journal noted that investors had been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ failure of stimulus measures to make passage in congress and had begun to feel a little queasy about earnings and especially forward projections on earnings .
Yet , who couldn ’ t have seen that coming ?
Those were some of the black swans I and many others enumerated as being likely to light upon us at this time of year months ago .
( “ Black swans ” in that many were blind to them by choice — unwilling to think about them . )
The dim stock investors in their madness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want to hear .
These things , I said , would eventually catch up to people in such deep denial .
Reality would make itself known and crash the Halloween party like the Grim Reaper .
Bloomberg noted the worst performance for the final two weeks of October since the 10.9 % crash in ’ 87 .
Intraday on the final trading day of October , both the Dow and the Nasdaq had fallen into full correction , but each recovered just enough ground via a spike in the last minutes of trading @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day ’ s end .
The Dow ended clinging by its teeth to its 200-day moving average and the S & P and Nasdaq ended panting on the support of their 100-day moving averages .
Speaking of teeth , the nearly indefatigable FAANG stocks were defanged for two months in a row , while volatility rose violently back to a dangerous high not seen since the death March of 2020 , a month which shall live in infamy .
Greenlight Capital founder David Einhorn warned in his quarterly letter at the end of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the U.S. stock market after an “ enormous ” bubble in technology stocks popped in September .
That was the resurgent rush we saw for the top during the early months of summer when I said we would see stocks take a mad rocket-ride to the moon during the good news of reopening , which investors would take to be far more successful than it really was .
I pointed out before reopening began that recovery should not be weighed by how fast the economy went back up but by the point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rise .
The economy ’ s rapid lift , I said repeatedly , was one of the most certain economic events imaginable .
What mattered would be where the rush ended , and I said that would start to become apparent for those who were paying attention by mid-July , with the dull market not taking notice until the end of August or September .
So , the early-summer melt-up happened , and then the bubble broke at the start of September with the worst to come in October .

by David Haggith
Investors will start to realize the economy is not recovering in August, I said. As result, the stock market will break sometime in August or September, I said. It will likely experience an even bigger plunge as an October surprise, I said, because something about October loves a Halloweenish surprise for stocks.
The bull gets ripped to shreds
The post-COVID market put in its last peak right as we shifted from August into September. September was recognized as a generally bad month for stocks. Stocks took another plunge in October, diving almost 2,000 points on the Dow in the final week, making October an even worse month for stocks than September was. Two months in a row of back-to-back declines.
While October’s surprise did not run as deep or surprising as I was thinking we’d see, it nevertheless was enough to break a few records.
Zero Hedge referred to it as “Shocktober,” claiming stocks had experienced their worst pre-election plunge in history. It was also their worst drop since the horrendous March 2020 crash where one had to look back to events like 1929 to find a crash that went deeper though not steeper.
September and October experienced week after week of drawdowns. The few good weeks in the mix were not enough to offset the much worse bad weeks.
Or as The Wall Street Journal put it,
The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined Friday, closing out its worst week and month since March in the final lap of the presidential race. WSJ
And March was as horrible as hell, itself, so saying it was the “worst since March” is like saying “it was my worst date since my night out with Freddie Krueger.”
The Journal noted that investors had been spooked by rising COVID cases and the failure of stimulus measures to make passage in congress and had begun to feel a little queasy about earnings and especially forward projections on earnings.
Yet, who couldn’t have seen that coming? Those were some of the black swans I and many others enumerated as being likely to light upon us at this time of year months ago. (“Black swans” in that many were blind to them by choice — unwilling to think about them.) The dim stock investors in their madness blithely ignored everything they didn’t want to hear. These things, I said, would eventually catch up to people in such deep denial. Reality would make itself known and crash the Halloween party like the Grim Reaper.
Bloomberg noted the worst performance for the final two weeks of October since the 10.9% crash in ’87.
Intraday on the final trading day of October, both the Dow and the Nasdaq had fallen into full correction, but each recovered just enough ground via a spike in the last minutes of trading to step back outside of that by day’s end. The Dow ended clinging by its teeth to its 200-day moving average and the S&P and Nasdaq ended panting on the support of their 100-day moving averages.
Speaking of teeth, the nearly indefatigable FAANG stocks were defanged for two months in a row, while volatility rose violently back to a dangerous high not seen since the death March of 2020, a month which shall live in infamy.
Greenlight Capital founder David Einhorn warned in his quarterly letter at the end of October that the top had come in for the U.S. stock market after an “enormous” bubble in technology stocks popped in September.
The S&P 500 index closed at a record 3,580.84 on Sept. 2, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite posted an all-time closing high of 12,056.44. Stocks subsequently pulled back in September and a new round of COVID-19-related jitters were blamed for another downdraft that saw the S&P 500 erase its October gains early Wednesday. Bubbles … tend to topple under their own weight as all investors finally hop in, short sellers cover, and the “last buyer has bought (or bought massive amounts of weekly calls),” he wrote. Morning Star
That was the resurgent rush we saw for the top during the early months of summer when I said we would see stocks take a mad rocket-ride to the moon during the good news of reopening, which investors would take to be far more successful than it really was.
I pointed out before reopening began that recovery should not be weighed by how fast the economy went back up but by the point at which it stalled after a fast rise. The economy’s rapid lift, I said repeatedly, was one of the most certain economic events imaginable. What mattered would be where the rush ended, and I said that would start to become apparent for those who were paying attention by mid-July, with the dull market not taking notice until the end of August or September.
So, the early-summer melt-up happened, and then the bubble broke at the start of September with the worst to come in October. The market tried to restage in late September and early October, but the effort quickly failed under economic assault, resurgent COVID fears, and dying stimulus.
“The decline starts and the psychology shifts from greed to complacency to worry to panic,” Einhorn said.
Yes, it does, and that is where we sit right now — straddling the fence between worry and panic at the “40” threshold of the CBOE volatility index for stocks, which marks the changeling point between bad months and months like March.

Or, as Zero Hedge just put it,
Wall Street Braces For “Terrifying Risk” And A 20% Plunge In Just A Few Days …With a likely unprecedented volume of mail-in ballots, prospects for volatility enduring post-election day have rarely been higher, and is in fact higher today than a month ago when concerns about post-election vol initially spiked…. According to Goldman’s David Kostin, the biggest concerns expressed by its clients is that a contested election could drag on, resulting in little clarity for weeks if not months…. ZH
Something wicked this way comes
Both sides have already staked out the battleground in these peculiar times by noting a rise in miscarriage by the US Postal Service, unusual congenital flaws in the designs of local ballots, election hocus pocus by paid ballot-box stuffers, and the list goes on. There will be plenty of ground to fight over and plenty of blood spilled upon it with no place comfortable for weary stock traders to tread, but traders have been too sanguine about these soon-to-be blood-soaked fields, anyhow:
Deutsche Bank strategist Parag Thatte wrote that the pricing of VIX futures with November and December expiries are likely too sanguine that there will be a quick and clear outcome of the elections…. If indeed the election won’t be resolved until mid-December (at the earliest), the kink [in the VIX] needs to move by at least 2 months, presenting a major arbitrage opportunity.
And major arbitrage means major market turmoil. Those who are prepared can profit off of it if they call it right. Those who are not prepared, take the losses, which will likely cut deep into their bones.
On Sept 14, JPM’s chief equity strategist Misla Matejka joined this chorus of warnings about a contested election result, which he saw as the “worst-case scenario” for the market
Matejka noted this as the top risk for the market from now to the end of the year, pointing out that, if the election is contested, the likelihood of getting a stimulus package passed, just as it becomes most essential, gets buried as the two major parties jockey in case they need — in their own perversely demented way of thinking — to make sure the opposition, should it “steal the election at the stroke of midnight, starts off 2021 as decapitated as possible, American public be damned!
While early October experienced a brief period of inexplicable optimism that the election would be resolved quickly and painlessly (bizarre because if Trump does lose, it’s amazing that anyone thinks he would leave quietly and without a SCOTUS fight) fears … that a contested outcome after the election is once again the base case … have stormed back to center stage…. That, as Bloomberg writes and as the market action today confirms, will “disappoint investors who’ve been counting on additional stimulus in the wake of the election, regardless of who wins, to help the economy recover from its coronavirus-induced malaise. It would also let down those betting a Democratic sweep of both the White House and Congress will release a torrent of government spending.”
So, hang on for a likely stormy November and downright bone-chilling December as now being the base case. The worst case as the new base case may not be the one that plays out, but it looks increasingly likely.
According to Daniel Ahn, BNP Paribas chief U.S. economist, there is a “terrifying risk” that an unresolved election could put investors in “completely uncharted territory.” Speaking to Bloomberg, Ahn said that “if there is a constitutional crisis, we believe that the loss of political credibility and standing of the United States as a stable country could threaten its status as a safe haven with unfathomable consequences for the economy and for markets…” According to a Thursday note from Bank of America’s Michelle Meyer and Savita Subramanian, stocks could slide as much as 20% if there’s a contested election. This means that as soon as Wednesday once it emerges if the election will not have a clear winner, we could see a bear market…. Others are similarly concerned (and likely selling now when they can, not when they have to): Brian Gardner, chief political strategist at Stifel Nicolaus last week cautioned that markets may not be taking into account a closer-than-expected election and outlined a range of market reactions if what he referred to as “chaos” were to prevail in the wake of the Nov. 3 vote…. Wells Fargo analyst Mike Mayo chimed in too, warning that “markets may be in for a very choppy ride on Nov. 4 and possibly for much longer if it becomes clear that the election will be contested.”
Whistling past the graveyard
People can pretend they are not spooked, but this week’s deep plunge in stocks into the start of Halloween is a pretty solid indicator of the chill running up investors’ spines, especially when you consider the fact that this rattling of the exit doors happened in the same week when investors got a GDP growth report that was as savory as a roasting suckling pig with an apple in its mouth and pumpkin pie on the side.
That report was, of course, not all it was made out to be by Kudlow and Kompany — being something of an anomaly in its origins — but it was still better than the sugary candy this market has thrived on as its sole nutrition for months now. And, yet, the market fell … and fell hard. Even Trump’s economic advisor, Stephen Moore, was surprised at how the airy report landed with a thud on the White House doorstep:
Moore said he had hoped that the Gross Domestic Product report that came out on Thursday would have given the president’s campaign a boost. He even recalled visiting the White House last month, during which he told the president that the report was “going to be a real ‘October surprise,’” that he could “really play… up for the voters,” and that the two of them then brainstormed ways to aggressively promote the coming numbers. But shortly after the positive-looking report came out on Thursday—showing that the economy grew at a 33.1 percent annual rate last quarter—Moore found it hard to muster optimism about the political benefits of it. “I really don’t have a good feeling about this,” he conceded. The Daily Beast
The GDP hype by Team Trump appeared to do nothing for voters and very little for stocks.
The final week of October was made a bit more eery by the singular happenstance that saw both stocks and bonds going down in unison. Usually one arena going down levers the other one up. Not this time. As BofA’s Hans Mikkelsen wrote after Wednesday’s cliff dive,
What was truly unique about the Wednesday rout is that as stocks cratered, Treasury yields rose [meaning prices dropped] and gold dropped, or as he puts it “everything was on sale”, in other words, it was a perfect liquidation. Such a selloff is so against the core tenets of conventional market flows, that this combination – of stocks, bonds and gold down on the same day – only happened twice in market history – on March 11 and March 18th [of 2020] – during the liquidity crisis where nearly all assets where liquidated as risk-parity funds were hammered. Zero Hedge
Even technology stocks, thought in general to benefit from COVID, nose-dived.
So, investors in all arenas are a bit spooked right now, and a superheated election war, civil violence ensuing, and gridlock on a now direly needed stimulus package — if that all comes together as does not look too unlikely — could be a witches’ brew for stocks and bonds at the same time, making November a chill to remember.
Of course, the worst fears of all those quoted above need not be realized, but this is 2020, which has not failed to disappoint in the arena of trumped-up weirdness all year long!
For stock investors with money to play with it’s a chill time to be caught with your shorts down. Might be a good time to hike your market shorts up to your neckline and wear them like a tie. (Not advising anyone to take that risk, as shorting is always high-risk and because I don’t give market advice. Just sayin’ … something to consider.)
Feeding on Father Fed
The only savior the nation is looking to right now is Jerome Powell — co-architect of all the economic weirdness of the past decade. He will be sitting in a circle with his coven of banksters on the day after the election in committee deciding how to save America from whatever befalls it on Tuesday.
Now, if that doesn’t give you the chills …
Don’t count on much, though, because the Fed is the walking dead:
The central bank is running out of ways it can help…. While no Fed official ever would acknowledge that monetary policy ammunition is running low, and in fact would insist to the contrary, there appear to be few weapons left in the Fed arsenal. “What they have left is really on the margin,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “They just don’t have much room to maneuver with regard to monetary policy. I don’t really see what more they can do. That’s why they’ve been so explicit in telling fiscal policymakers to do more, because they know they can’t help….” The earnestness of the Fed’s requests for more fiscal aid are a reflection, then, of just how limited the central bank’s options are. “There’s no game-changer here,” Zandi said. “There’s nothing big they can do to help the economy in the near term….” Since everyone already pretty much expects the Fed to stay put for years, reiterating that stance provides little balm for when investors get nervous and the economy starts to wobble…. CNBC
If we end Tuesday crossing realms into what looks to be the longest and most contentious election outcome in the nation’s history, investors will have to hope Powell packs a powerful punch if the market is going to rise above the fog of war. I don’t know what mysterious magic he and his coven can muster, but it will have to be some pretty good stuff because the masses appear to be ready for a good witch-hunt if it doesn’t work.
All I see coming in the dark months ahead is pitchforks and torches … and I haven’t been wrong in what I’ve seen for this year so far.

Financial writer Bill Holter and renowned gold and financial expert Jim Sinclair say exploding federal debt and massive defaults will send gold to the stratosphere. Holter does the astounding and yet simple math and explains, “The number is over $100,000 per ounce for gold now. If you take the 260 million ounces that we (U.S. Treasury) supposedly have and take the 260 million ounces and divide it into the current debt which is $27 trillion, it’s well over $100,000 per ounce now. In other words, if we had to back our debt in gold, the gold would have to be priced at over $100,000 per ounce.”

2020 Is 82% Finished

That the year is five-sixths complete is reason alone to celebrate .
Even if you don ’ t usually party on New Year ’ s Eve , I bet you will this year !
The year 2020 has been a disaster on so many levels that it ’ s almost impossible to summarize .
However , one thing that has been a positive is the continued rally in the precious metals .
After a 2019 that acted a lot like 2010 , we speculated last January that this year would see more of the same .
While we couldn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we did predict $ 1800 gold in 2020…and price has so far surpassed that goal by about 15 % !
However , since reaching a high of $ 2080 on August 6 , the price of COMEX gold has gone into a consolidation phase , and with price currently near $ 1900 , many investors are wondering what to expect next .
We ’ re here to answer that question today .
The answer actually comes in two parts .
First , you need to understand that nothing has fundamentally changed since August @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into gold in all its forms last summer continue today—they are simply being overlooked .
This won ’ t last forever .
And what are those conditions ?
Here are just four : • Massive U.S. debt .
For the just-completed fiscal year 2019-2020 , the U.S. ran a record budget deficit of $ 3.15 TRILLION .
Regardless of which party wins the election next week , this number will be even higher in fiscal 2020-2021 .
• Unlimited debt monetization .
The Fed and other global central banks are pleading with their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ monetize…all in the hopes of creating enough new fiat currency to hold off disinflation and the crises of illiquidity that would follow .
• Negative real interest rates .
Inflation-adjusted interest rates are already negative in the U.S. for the first time in 40 years .
In an effort to manage the exploding debt , The Fed will soon promote policies designed to drive these rates even more deeply negative in the months ahead .
• Extreme physical demand .
In a desperate attempt to maintain the legitimacy of their pricing scheme , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a physical delivery vehicle last March .
While the number of contracts physically delivered in 2020 shattered records , expect even higher totals and a new record in 2021 .
The second part has to do with expectations .
Though we ’ d all like to see nothing but upticks and daily rallies , in reality not even the strongest bull markets ever play out that way .
All trends invariably and inevitably end up in consolidation phases where gains are locked and profits are booked .
Price stabilizes and forms a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
That the price of COMEX gold has been in one of these consolidation phases since August should come as no surprise .
Why ?
Because it followed an almost-identical pattern in 2019 !
In January 2019 , we issued a price forecast for gold that included a year-end price target of $ 1520 .
This was considered madness at the time since price had been rangebound below $ 1360 for the previous five years .
But we recognized that the conditions laid out in bullet points earlier in this post would begin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did they ever !
For fun , you can review that forecast at this link : But the market didn ’ t wait , and that ’ s the funny thing about forecasts .
You can be correct about price , but timing price with date is always challenging .
So , instead of hitting $ 1520 by the end of the year , price had met and exceeded that level by early September .
See below : But then look at what happened next !
Price entered a consolidation phase and traded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over the next three months .
But while many permabears and technical analysts loudly proclaimed that gold was soon headed back to $ 1200 , the conditions that drove the rally in the first place soon re-asserted themselves , and as you can see above , price eventually finished the year at $ 1520 .
So now compare 2019 to 2020 .
Many of the same “ experts ” are once again claiming that you should expect more downside in the weeks ahead .
Some have even suggested again that COMEX gold could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1200 !
But what ’ s lost on these people is that the underlying fundamental trends remain intact—just as they did last year .
And just like last year , this year ’ s consolidation will soon end .
How will you know that the 2020 consolidation phase is ending ?
Just check the chart .
Notice that the 100-day downtrend in 2019 was finally broken in late December , setting the stage for extended gains in January 2020 and beyond .
Well , this year ’ s downtrend has now been in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it looks to me like it ’ s just about finished .
So let ’ s see what happens in November .
The U.S. election will finally be over and the next round of “ Covid stimulus ” will finally be passed—this new debt promptly monetized by The Fed .
Once the downtrend from August 6 is finally broken , price will trend higher into year end .
For now , I expect the price of COMEX gold to finish 2020 somewhere below $ 2000 .
Let ’ s shoot for something like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 2000 ?
Because you know that The Banks will fight every uptick in the final days in order to keep gold from finishing the quarter and the year with a price that begins with a “ 2 ” .
From there , expect higher prices and a new set of all-time highs in 2021 .
How far can price run next year ?
For that answer , you ’ ll just have to wait until January and our next full year forecast .

Inflation-adjusted interest rates are already negative in the U.S. for the first time in 40 years. In an effort to manage the exploding debt, The Fed will soon promote policies designed to drive these rates even more deeply negative in the months ahead. Extreme physical demand. In a desperate attempt to maintain the legitimacy of their pricing scheme, the CME Group actively converted the COMEX to a physical delivery vehicle last March. While the number of contracts physically delivered in 2020 shattered records, expect even higher totals and a new record in 2021.
The second part has to do with expectations. Though we’d all like to see nothing but upticks and daily rallies, in reality not even the strongest bull markets ever play out that way. All trends invariably and inevitably end up in consolidation phases where gains are locked and profits are booked. Price stabilizes and forms a base before beginning its next up move.
That the price of COMEX gold has been in one of these consolidation phases since August should come as no surprise. Why? Because it followed an almost-identical pattern in 2019!
In January 2019, we issued a price forecast for gold that included a year-end price target of $1520. This was considered madness at the time since price had been rangebound below $1360 for the previous five years. But we recognized that the conditions laid out in bullet points earlier in this post would begin to reveal themselves in 2019. And did they ever! For fun, you can review that forecast at this link:

But the market didn’t wait, and that’s the funny thing about forecasts. You can be correct about price, but timing price with date is always challenging. So, instead of hitting $1520 by the end of the year, price had met and exceeded that level by early September. See below:
But then look at what happened next! Price entered a consolidation phase and traded down by as much as 7.5% over the next three months.
But while many permabears and technical analysts loudly proclaimed that gold was soon headed back to $1200, the conditions that drove the rally in the first place soon re-asserted themselves, and as you can see above, price eventually finished the year at $1520.
So now compare 2019 to 2020. Many of the same “experts” are once again claiming that you should expect more downside in the weeks ahead. Some have even suggested again that COMEX gold could fall all the way back to $1200! But what’s lost on these people is that the underlying fundamental trends remain intact—just as they did last year. And just like last year, this year’s consolidation will soon end.
How will you know that the 2020 consolidation phase is ending? Just check the chart. Notice that the 100-day downtrend in 2019 was finally broken in late December, setting the stage for extended gains in January 2020 and beyond. Well, this year’s downtrend has now been in place for nearly 90 days, and it looks to me like it’s just about finished.
So let’s see what happens in November. The U.S. election will finally be over and the next round of “Covid stimulus” will finally be passed—this new debt promptly monetized by The Fed. Once the downtrend from August 6 is finally broken, price will trend higher into year end.
For now, I expect the price of COMEX gold to finish 2020 somewhere below $2000. Let’s shoot for something like $1980. And why not above $2000? Because you know that The Banks will fight every uptick in the final days in order to keep gold from finishing the quarter and the year with a price that begins with a “2”.
From there, expect higher prices and a new set of all-time highs in 2021. How far can price run next year? For that answer, you’ll just have to wait until January and our next full year forecast.

( Natural News ) The science is in , and if you ’ re not already pretty much dying from cancer , diabetes or heart disease , then you probably aren ’ t going to die if you catch Covid-19 .
If you subtract all the deaths that were labeled Covid-caused that were not caused by Covid , what you ’ re left with is another viral flu , that went viral all around the world , killing off the already sick and dying .
There ’ s no number we ’ ll ever see statistically that ’ s accurate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Covid death victims really died from MRSA , pneumonia , the flu , cancer , diabetes , heart attacks , strokes and of course , suicide .
Yes , you can blame the fake news press for those .

Otherwise , stay home , go broke and beg ( vote ) for a government that gives you everything for free , while removing forever all of your Constitutional rights .
It ’ s rather ironic that there ’ s “ no cure ” for a virus that can be killed by hand sanitizer and regular soap .
In this rush to return to “ normal ” we should all consider very carefully what parts of normal we ’ re rushing back to .
Nobody anywhere seems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They ’ re acting like they ’ re being totally safe on one end , and on the other , the virus is having a free-for-all , penetrating the magical force field everyone thinks they ’ ve got erected .

Think about this for a minute .
There are 200 million Americans who get the flu shot every year , and get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mercury all the while .
That ’ s just the beginning of why most people have zero common sense .
Then , they eat what they see advertised on TV and the internet , with no regard to actual nutritional content or food that ’ s free from chemical herbicides and insecticides ( plus GMOs ) .
We ’ re talking about weed killer and bug killer chemicals that eviscerate the human immune system , repeatedly every single meal , snack and soda .

Trump. Otherwise, stay home, go broke and beg (vote) for a government that gives you everything for free, while removing forever all of your Constitutional rights.
It’s rather ironic that there’s “no cure” for a virus that can be killed by hand sanitizer and regular soap.

Like, don’t bring your own bag to the grocery store, but then the clerk touches every single item you just touched to put in the cart.
Think about this for a minute. There are 200 million Americans who get the flu shot every year, and get juiced up accordingly with deadly, brain-numbing mercury all the while. That’s just the beginning of why most people have zero common sense. Then, they eat what they see advertised on TV and the internet, with no regard to actual nutritional content or food that’s free from chemical herbicides and insecticides (plus GMOs). We’re talking about weed killer and bug killer chemicals that eviscerate the human immune system, repeatedly every single meal, snack and soda.
After a few years of that, they’re bound for their M.D.’s office, where they’re carefully and so thoughtfully prescribed chemical medications that solve nothing, except to quell the symptoms of a deep-rooted disease that’s festering in the gut, soon to travel through the lymph fluid to everywhere vital in the body. Those laboratory-concocted medications often come in the form of antibiotics, that wipe out all gut bacteria (good and bad), setting up the patient for death from a viral infection, like Covid, the flu, or certain kinds of MRSA staph-bacteria that are totally immune to antibiotics.
And, there’s more.
Filthy, bacteria-laden Covid masks are bad, bad news
The Covid masks everybody wears become filthy after a few days, trapping bacteria from the mouth and lungs in the body and in the material of the mask. Who’s washing these bacteria nets regularly, and who even realizes that the Covid virus is only 2 microns in size, where the holes in most masks are 3 to 5 microns. That’s like throwing a tennis ball through a basketball hoop. The masks don’t even work, in fact, they’re just delivering a cozy-safe feeling that enables more people to expose themselves even more. Oops.
In fact, according to a recent, in-depth study of Covid mask effectiveness, the penetration of cloth masks by particles was above 96 percent, compared to 44 percent with medical masks. That means not even medical masks are all that safe, let alone these crappy home-made, double-ply cut up sheets, scarves and ‘neck gaiters’ people are all wearing. And then they touch the mask repeatedly every minute to adjust it, rendering it not just useless, but now dangerous as well. There goes that safety net. It’s now a bacteria net.
The whole social distancing thing is a sham too. Also ironic is the fact that every vaccine pusher and fanatic has screamed for decades about herd immunity and how we should all stick together to help build immunity, but now everyone’s on lock down, where they don’t even get fresh air and exposure to bacteria they need to build immunity. It’s all backwards and inside out, just like the Democrats want it (yes, it’s political too, mainly actually).
