Just to let everyone know, since more than 50% of our clients are outside the USA, we have a very international reach with sources around the globe. Get prepared for volatility next week. Despite the Democrat’s personal hatred of Trump, the international view is that Trump is the ONLY sane leader in the world right now. The world is leaning so far to the left everywhere, capital is deeply concerned about where to hide. The #1 question we are getting from overseas: What if Bernie beats Trump? ......... The strength of the Euro is reflecting the Bernie Effect. While Americans like to attribute everything to Conoronvirus, the rest of the world is scared to death of Bernie in charge of America. It takes everything off the table that they ever thought about the United States. That is the #1 question I get from overseas. What the “hell” are Americans thinking?

It had to act in response to the collapse in economic data for the 1st quarter, but at the same time, rates are rising in the real world due to perceived credit risks. This means that the Repo Crisis will get worse and the Fed will have to become the permanent market-maker to maintain short-term rates at these levels. ....... International Capital Starting to Fear Bernie Sanders Coronavirus Conspiracy to Eliminate Paper Money? ........ The death rate is still within the normal flu range which does not imply some biological weapon. The more serious question is whether this new type of coronavirus will evolve into a parallel annual epidemic. Our model still points to 2022 as cycle high for virus, and despite all the nonsense from Al Gore, Greenpeace, and their puppet Greta, the colder the climate turns each winter, the higher the probability that the flu season will get much worse.
