This is not an index but a play on this whole house of cards.

excellent summary of repo and end game.

Appreciated your daily titles for the board. Amazing legacy. All the best.

Ironically, the more warning signs we see, the more pumping will occur. Confidence in the currency is about the only thing holding this together. When that fails, more pumping and monetary inflation will become the cancer not the answer.

nice article Lee, https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/fed-has-absorbed-90-treasury-issuance-september I thought there was some friction between you and Zerohedge. Glad to see they are posting your work.

I have refereed many individuals to your work since the balance sheet expansion started in August. I think you are one of the best at examining and staying on top of the liquidity picture. I like Jeffrey Snyder's work as well. However your flair is unparalleled. Keep up the great work.

FYI, The retail physical metals market in the US is still lacking volume and interest. The move has been due to the paper markets. Retail has been selling out all the way up. Premiums on many metal products are at all time lows. Wholesalers and retail dealers are up to their necks in inventory. Very odd environment.

Lee, David Brady mentioned your work many times on his forum. He shut his forum down due to pressure that he was providing investment advice without a license. He is very popular on twitter. I mentioned to many people on his forum about your site, capitalstool. Most of the forum members are traders or investors and provided a lot of good commentary and analysis on the forum. Some may reach out to see if your site could be a location of interest to share trading ideas. Hope I did not impose by providing your site as a great location for exchanging trading ideas. It has been a privilege be a part of the capitalstool.

Commercials were loading up short while large specs were loading up on the long side the last few weeks. I guess the commercials are pulling the rug today. The retail physical market is very quiet.

U.S. Budget Gap Balloons to $739 Billion Despite Tariff Revenue https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-12/u-s-budget-gap-hits-739-billion-with-four-months-left-in-year The U.S. budget deficit widened to $738.6 billion in the first eight months of the fiscal year, a $206 billion increase from a year earlier, despite a revenue boost from President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imported merchandise. The shortfall was 38.8% more than the same period a year ago, the Treasury Department said in its monthly budget review released on Wednesday.
