NOT GOOD, especially since RECESSION has not yet started. Q2 GDP outlook looks positive.

Now imagine if the Covid funny money had not come along on that chart.

 

Don't worry, that trajectory will eventually re-assert itself, barring another funny money giveaway..

 

A debt jubilee needs to be seriously considered at some point, or the rentier class may have more worries than just a stock market drop on their hands...certainly would not be the first time in history that indebtedness and concentration of wealth had led to big trouble...

Took all night but I finally got my 4140 short fill to start my build again.  Market remains heavy and doesn't feel right with bonds high, vix low but options are pretty neutral as we move towards this expiration cycles end this Friday.  More grind grind grind likely but hopefully tech will help it a bit with the fake rally due to AI but the worry about a economic slowdown is holding the ES back.  Sure doesn't make sense with bonds this high either way.....profit stop 4139 for the cash open sell above...

6 mo still not rolling over, but probably not a whole lot longer up here...

 

5.2% for doing nothing during worst 6 months of stock market not all bad.....by the time Fall rolls around, these yields may be long gone....

Well that was fun, out for 1 point and back in to start a build at 4140.  Think with this market its better to just hold and build as I don't want back and forth 1 point gains here like a day trader lol!!  Want at least 5 points lol!!
