Chasing The Dragon: A ‘Blink For The Ages’
On Thursday, in "Blue Magic: Addicted Markets Get Fix As Central Banks ‘Resume Race To Zero Posture’", we detailed the coordinated global pivot back towards dovish monetary policy in the face of mounting global growth concerns and political tension.

Governments are the largest holders of government debt, and people will pay Germany and Japan 10,000 € or Â¥ for the privilege of getting 9,900 back ten years from now. No, the problem is a lack of imagination in these pages and the lengths wealthy and connected people will go to ensure their wealth and power. If the brain can handle the concept of -0.03% interest at all, it can handle -10% or -20%. If governments can buy their own debt, they can buy FAANG + BAT ETFs. If the Fed can create four trillion dollars, it can create five or six or ten. The dollar will be fine. Japan hasn’t destroyed it’s currency yet. The Euro didn’t exist twenty-five years ago, and I think China has like two currencies. People will voluntarily pay $3,600 for a BitCoin or $582 for a share of Chipotle or invest in 100 year Argentine bonds. They will not accept the S&P to hit 2400.
