Negative Interest Rates
Zero interest rate policies are in essence subsidizing the unproductive sectors of an economy… capital misallocated… And in economies, e.g. #EU, where you do not have a dynamic recycling of capital expenditure, productivity is hit… increasing overcapacity… | @dlacalle_IA https://t.co/xBd9IpXTiL

Snowden
On a scale of “haha” to “lol,” how likely would you say it is that politicians’ sudden interest in whistleblowing will lead to the reform of the Espionage Act, which the government has routinely used to jail the sources behind some of the most important stories in US history? https://t.co/CIbcLCN5Qn

This should be called: the most scary tweets of the week. It is self-explanatory. Should be a weekly weekend feature.
Nooooo, that must be just some crazy Nazi conspiracy theory. Right? RIGHT???
She’s like a bad rash, you just can’t get rid of
UK is screwed.
“Extremist” Islam is the real Islam.
The good government agents must have given Bradley some powerful drugs…
I think the wildest thing since Lehman was the overnight rate hitting 10%.
The economy was cruising along at 35,000 feet and suddenly both engines shut down. Immediately, the Fed captain came on and announced, “Not to worry, we just switched to emergency fuel.”
Juuuust a bit outside…
Speaking of whistleblowing.
Breitbart headline: “Dossier 2.0: ‘Whistleblower’ Complaint Relies on Soros-Funded ‘Investigative Reporting’ Group that Partnered with BuzzFeed”
Zero Hedge also reported that the intel community “quietly scrapped requirement for first hand knowledge.”
The deeper one looks, the more it looks like a politically engineered hit job. Another coup attempt by a different means.
The slight reduction in FED balance sheet throughout 2018 did not “cause” the 4th quarter market sell-off since the FED continued to reduce its balance sheet, yet the stock market advanced.
The FED purchase of US Treasuries has reduced the amount of “safe” assets for banks to trade among themselves. This might help explain an inverted yield curve.
If banks can’t trust other banks, then depositors should not trust banks. Unfortunately depositors are too complacent or ignorant to take action.
“One of the key factors is that zero interest rate policies perpetuate overcapacity and zombifie economies.”

Mish, I am mishing your previously daily Brexit updates! I bet that even you can t make head nor tail of this total screw up no longer …I guess Boris will throw in the towel and the Brexit saga will become something like those never ending Netflix series ….Pity!
I miss America.
Hillary! Oh god no!
gee whiz
Ouch! that’s kind of harsh! They are all crooks.
Best election eva.
The democrat party is imploding.
They really don’t know what to do when a Republican actually fights back.
Impeachment for a phone call…about the massive corruption of the Biden mafia.
And they think Hillary will save them.
“impeachment for a phone call…about the massive corruption of the Biden mafia.”
So I guess you are just fine with a president who uses the power of the state to eliminate a political opponent who is polling better than him.
So please tell me had Obama called Putin and ask him to look for dirt on Trump (and yes there is dirt) you would had been OK with that? Something phrase like this for instance:
“Hi Putin I know we have been harsh on you since that Crimea thing I don’t know perhaps we should talk about it to you know to move forward. BTW, I understand Trump has had some dealings with some of your bankers that we are investigating for numerous crimes could you do e a favour and look into it?
Many thanks and hugs”
You do realize you are describing what obama did with the fake FISA warrants?
Except this wasn’t a phone call. This was making up lies from paid opposition research (Steele Dossier), sworn to FISA judges as true and used to SPY on political opponents in the middle of a political campaign.
And you see nothing wrong with that.
But…but…a phone call! Impeach!
Your corrupt swamp is draining. The Bidens and Clinton’s are corrupt beyond measure. It is all coming out.
Maybe the fake Indian socialist will save your swamp.
So is the CIA. It’s time to axe the whole so-called intelligence community, turn the archives inside out, and start over with democracy. Secret governments are incompatible with democracy. Period. And they have their tentacles everywhere, especially into the media (Church hearings), not to forget that it is requirement for getting a leg up into public office that they have something on you, otherwise you cannot be controlled.
Steele Dossier … Steele was working at Orbis together with Pablo Miller (ex MI6 chief of Russia bureau). UK Govt put a D-notice on mentioning Pablo Miller, who was living in Salisbury and was Skripal’s handler. The dossier was put together with the help of Skripal and Ukrainian intelligence to give it some authentic “Russian” sources appearance..
The rabbit hole is a tunnel system undermining democracy everywhere in the West. Afhanistan produces 25× as much heroine as when the US took over … investigative journalism is dead.
It died in the 1970s when the fake legacy media decided to become the propaganda arm of the democrat party.
“investigative journalism is dead.”
“So I guess you are just fine with a president who uses the power of the state to eliminate a political opponent who is polling better than him.”
Leftist propaganda.
“Joe Biden, meanwhile, has been peddling the narrative that Shokin’s March 2016 firing had nothing to do with Burisma – a narrative which Shokin himself disputes.
“The truth is that I was forced out because I was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma Holdings, a natural gas firm active in Ukraine and Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, was a member of the Board of Directors,” Shokin testified in the affidavit, adding “On several occasions President Poroshenko asked me to have a look at the case against Burisma and consider the possibility of winding down the investigative actions in respect of this company but I refused to close this investigation.”
There is a legitimate question of whether Biden is corrupt. As Senator Grahm said, there should be an investigation.
Maybe so but that is not what Trump did. What he did was to ask a the Ukraine president to investigate it once he realized that Biden could beat him in 2020. That is to use the power of the office for political gain. What is next? Have his enemies “dealt with” by foreign governments? Trump runs the WH like a mobster family.
Well they did do that, only using British and Ukrainian intelligence, and making up the part Putin played.
Prove it please show the evidence. Show me a transcript from Obama that say: “do me a favour get dirt on Trump”. Because that is exactly what Trump did about Biden
I wish I was as certain of ANYTHING as those commenting in this thread seem to be about EVERYTHING.

Political miscalculation of the century? There is no way Trump gets removed … but Biden might become damaged goods, leaving some unelectable leftie as the Dem nominee. Guess who gets a second term then!
It does not matter if he is removed or not. The democrats are firing up their base just like Trump does when he goes after immigrants and liberals. No matter who the democrat candidate is in 2020 he/she will never get the core Trump voter. As far as I can see fro the multiple comments about Trump in this an other boards, Trump can get his way with the daughters of his core supporters and all they would say is: MAGA!
True, the bases are fired up. I think even a market crash will just entrench both sides. My point is that if the dems don’t run a middler like Biden, it’s a hail mary that the general election could go to someone like Warren. Anyone’s guess, but I doubt the progressive-zombie-apocalypse has spread quite that much yet. … Many Trump voters are not MAGA, they already know Trump is as slimey as the transcript (further) indicates — they just f-ing despise the libtards.
The dam has broken.
What about Isreali Nazis, Mish? Why do you condemn Muslims for demanding Nazi Israel stop murdering then but you are silent on Nazi Israel’s mass slaughter of Muslims and stealing their land and property?
Deutsche Bank.
Yep. It is a coin flip whether China devaluation or Deutsche Bank blow up rocks markets first.
