This is the biggest drop for Bank stocks since Brexit, as investor concerns over Trump’s reform agenda grow…

 

And, as Nanex points out, S&P 500 futures liquidity is collapsing today.

 

Why? Because whereas the BTFDers have been willing to jump in and, well, BTFD, on days where there is a sharp move lower, both the HFTs and the carbon-based traders step aside and pull their bids, unsure if this is “the start” of the selloff.  Maybe this time they are right, as the bank bloodbath continues:

Why The 2017 French Election Could Trigger A Major Market Drop

In 1981, the French stock market dipped in fears over François Mitterrand’s presidency win and the same could happen again, says Saxo Bank’s head of macro analysis Christopher Dembik.

 

In the 30 days following the first round in the 1981 election, the French stock market dropped by over 20% as a result of concerns about the economic policies of Mitterrand, who eventually became president from 1981 to 1995.

Dembik says that if Marie Le Pen – who has an anti-Eurozone stance – wins, the same steep dive could happen to the CAC 40 by 20% after the election. The first round of voting is on April 23 and the second round is on May 7.

Does this look like policy ‘success’ or ‘failure‘?

 

VIX is jumping as stocks sink…

 

And Bank stocks are collapsing…

 

With the Financials ETF breaking below a key technical level…Bank stocks have now gone nowhere since Dec 8th.

 

Lots of chatter about selling due to doubts on TrumpCare passing on Thursday – which will delay the tax reform foundation that the market is settled on (and any banking system reform).

KOMMONSENTSJANE – WHY THE DEM’S AND ELITES DON’T WANT TRUMP TO BE FRIENDS WITH RUSSIA.


I agree Russia may not be a friend but they are not an enemy either; the real enemy is Islam pure and simple this is and always has been a religious war.

kommonsentsjane's avatarkommonsentsjane

While listening to all of the hippola today about the Russians and the Republican Party and their connection makes me wonder why is it when Obama was in bed with PM  Medvedev of Russia during his hay day – when Obama thought he was playing Russia for a fool – why wasn’t the Democrats worried then about our association with Russia.  Since the shoe is  now on the other foot and the ball is in the Republican’s court the Dem’s  are really in a stir about Russia for some reason and continue to accuse them of everything.

Why is it okay for us to hack Russia – but not okay for Russia to hack us?  All countries do it.  In fact, Obama wire-tapped Angela Merkel’s, Chancellor of Germany, phone; and,  I didn’t see the Dem’s skirts blowing up?

Now why doesn’t the Democrats and Obama want us to be friends…

Donald Trump Merriam Webster Troll
Graphic: Eric Hernandez

The team at Merriam-Webster is denying intentional trolling (verb, antagonize others online) of President Donald Trump, despite weeks of hilarious content and social media speculation to the contrary.

Subtle reminders about the meaning of fascism or other chaotic states of government, shading Kellyanne Conway over “alternative facts” and more have been coming from the dictionary’s official Twitter account.
Merriam-Webster chief digital officer and publisher, Lisa Schneider, chalks this up to a coincidence (noun, events that happen at the same time by accident but seem to have some connection), but also says that M-W social content often comes as a reflection of what users are searching. In other words, blame the algorithm (noun, a step-by-step procedure for solving a…

INTELLIGENCE HEARING REVEALS NO TRUMP-RUSSIA CONNECTIONS


From what I know of what was going on over those 6 to 8 months this hearing was a shame.
