Do you believe in miracles? Sell-side economists do... (again)

The "Faith Gap" between Q1 '15 growth and Q2 '15 growth has never been higher...

I don't know who they are talking to. It seems to me that everyone I talk to is just trying to hang on through 15.

Please note the year when it really began to diverge....1998/1999.

Grahamm Rudman signed by Bill Clinton during Christmas. Now who says the Demoncrates and Rupugnicans can't come together.

The farce is strong in Atlanta.

Tyler I trade the P/A for exactly these reasons. I also prudently hedge my trades.

Everyone knows the cow is "sucked dry". My drycleaner is BTFATH. (joking).

The fastest, and most savvy traders are going to get destroyed. Kyle Bass "goat trail" theory.

Space~ The Final Frontier... These are the voyages of the S.S. Fedstein.

To boldly go where no SANE banker has before.

To explore "dark pools", and new X~-levered derivatives.

To seek out new scams, and new rehypothecations...
