Sorry to be the party pooper ...

This market has refused to go down or it just trades sideways on bad news,

and it gaps up on any neutral or good news.

Till the market changes its behavior I am resigned to be long rather than short. <_<

 

When the market does go down it will be epic wipe out but  for now  ...

Short term trading and tight stops seems to be only option here.

I agree. I have had no shorts in my hedge trading port since Feb 6. Only longs. Looking for longs in all the wrong places. Wanna be short but I can't find the spaces. 

 

Woo wooooooo...

Lee, on the shrinking Treasury balance. Was it accelerated spending or reduced Treasury borrowing which is drawing down the number. I am not sure how much discretion an administration has on spending over any short term. I had figured the draw down was due mainly to decreased Treasury borrowing.  Do you have some numbers?

 

I am still on board with the idea that the debt limit will not be raised and the administration will simply choose which bills to pay.

Any kind of "strategic" default will likely cause a crash in the bond and stock market. I think Republicans will not have the guts to do that on their own watch. The world economy will collapse in this situation, maybe Bannon wants to do it, but Republicans will not want this crash attached to their party name for the next couple of generations.

Of course, Democrats will make them sweat a little before they agreed to raise the debt ceiling :)

They used the cash mostly to pay down debt, which is unheard of in Feb. a big borrowing month to fund tax refunds. 

 

The chart is mind boggling. There's never been anything like it. Ever. Period, full stop. 

 

I'll post all the dirty details in the Treasury report coming up on Monday.
