Dollars only come into existance with new debt, without a steady flow of new debt and new dollars coming into the system how can interest on existing debt be repaid? It can't and what value does that dollar have if the debts are not repaid? Its called counterparty risk, enjoy it.

Like I said before the Fed will kill the patient if they remove the stimulus.

The waterer froze up for this bunch overnight since it’s just a shallow line buried to it. So I had to fix up their winter waterer and after I let them access it they weren’t to polite either. There’s 950 head in this bunch so they have to learn how to pace themselves. No guns except for all the hunters after an elk or a couple deer which I gladly let them go looking for.

Apparently, S&P suffered 3rd worst U.S. Thanksgiving week since WWll today. Crude oil and credit markets under-siege. Bitcoin collapsing, not that anyone cares.

Monday markets may be interesting as traders get back to work after Thanksgiving weekend.

To me, credit markets are now the canary in the coal mine . . . .

Once the bubble bursts; it acts like dominos across markets. Now GM fallout which has a much bigger root attached called sub-prime auto loans.

Once debt is no longer a growth asset, look out . . . it becomes a heavy liability. This is the beginning of the painful debt unwind. No way of stopping this . . . . Central bankers now powerless.
