    Why did banks cut back on lending after QE?

    I wouldn't pay much attention to a few of the responses here. Martinghoul, on the other hand, has given you correct information. Immediately after the financial crisis we were of course entering a deep recession: "the great recession." Issuing of new credit naturally declines during...

    13 Russian nationals indicted for interfering in US elections

    Ha ha ha. jem, I bet you didn't know, until now that is, that Oreo cookies are liberal (mixing of black and white!). Oreos should stay away from dog tracks. Probably would lose money.

    13 Russian nationals indicted for interfering in US elections

    My hypothesis is that there is a common thread running among a sizable minority of traders and those expecting to get rich quick at the Dog Track -- you can also find them betting on the ponies too -- quite serious in their quest to strike it rich. Were I a psychologist interested in studying...

    13 Russian nationals indicted for interfering in US elections

    Yup definitely. You can see that Obama ordered it! Trump had nothing to do with it. That's obvious. ;)

    The Rise And Fall Of America

    Wow, what a nice thoughtful response, Sig. Thank you so much. I am delighted that you have studied Electrical Engineering because that's going to allow me to ask your opinion about something later that is closely linked to the Hansen Hypothesis. Your background is ideal when it comes to...

    Gates flipping on Manafort, odds of Manafort flipping on Trump?

    The judge should review if the defendant requests a review on credible grounds, or at least grounds that prima facie appear credible to the court.

    Gates flipping on Manafort, odds of Manafort flipping on Trump?

    Why not just read the indictment? I gave you the link. Or do you believe the Fox News version is more reliable?

    Gates flipping on Manafort, odds of Manafort flipping on Trump?

    The charges Flynn faces have to do with lying to the FBI. The evidence for that has nothing to do with the Dossier. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/01/us/document-Flynn-FBI-Russia.html Suffice it to say that when playing the fool you are a rank amateur compared to Hotcakes. Why...

    Gates flipping on Manafort, odds of Manafort flipping on Trump?

    Please forgive an indelicacy, but she looks like she is covered in dead sperm that missed the mark, or is that supposed to be pubic hair. Nevertheless, I award her a gold star for creativity! You, as well, deserve favorable mention in the reviews of this drama. You've played your role to...

    The Rise And Fall Of America

    Sig I have been bothered by this for quite some time now. If we look at society in general, and particularly among Western Political leaders as reported in the mainstream press, there is no question that there is a consensus belief that CO2 is causing global warming. But when one considers...

    Tillerson Out

    Nothing could be further from the truth than the above statement, Recall that Moynihan insisted that the Soviet Union would fail on its own, for internal political and economic reasons, and this was long before Reagan was on the scene. Moynihan's view was a minority viewpoint at the time, and...

    There is no evidence of Russian collusion except

    There is an obvious quid pro quo going on here: Trump's help in getting the sanctions lifted in return for help in winning the election, which is a requirement if Trump is to be of help with sanctions. (Congress has not helped with Trump's intended easing of Sanctions. But Congress must depend...

    Chances we are going into a full-blown bear market?

    next to zero I would say, unless a full-on dump of Federal dollars into an economy near full employment is "different this time." On the other hand, a dampened, more subdued equities market for the next few quarters, would be perfectly in order. The cynic in me makes me want to think that...

    Jeff Gundlach and Bill Gross spooking bond market?

    Let us not forget that going forward for some years the Fed will, in all likelihood, be a net seller as they drain excess reserves and return their balance sheet to more normal levels via selling and attrition of maturing issues. This will have a mild depressing affect on bond prices. At the...

    Pekelo explains the sell off

    In my opinion you have it exactly right. I always follow the S&P on the monthly chart and there it was crystal clear that the market's rate of increase in January was highly unlikely to be sustained, so when the correction came, it came as no surprise. Had the market maintained the January...

    A Reckoning for the FBI

    Thank you for posting that article which i otherwise could not read. There is a common thread running through this side of the Trump vs. FBI business. Who owns FOX NEWS?, it's Murdoch. Who owns the WSJ? It's Murdoch of course. It's my opinion that Rupert Murdoch is the single greatest danger to...
