We’re in the midst of the most volatile market environment in our lifetimes. Even more so than 2008. The daily noise is incredible, with headlines nonstop and wild price movements every hour […]
The Big Picture
Month End Rally?
Markets continue to be in disaster mode the likes we haven’t seen since the financial crisis. Intra-day volatility as high as during 1929, $VIX nearly as high as 2008. Liquidations galore and […]

2020 Crash
Complacency came before the fall. All of 2019 market participants ignored the non existent earnings growth. Too strong was the now pavlovian reflex to chase easy central bank money. Too trusting in […]
