MONEY AND MARKETS=Reminds me when the first Brits stepped ashore in Australia, they pointed to an animal and asked the locals “what is that thing?”

Reminds me when the first Brits stepped ashore in Australia, they pointed to an animal and asked the locals “what is that thing?” The locals responded with the word for “I can’t understand what you’re saying”. That word is “kangaroo”. Lost in translation, just like every “market” pundit today trying to translate what he learned looking at something for 30 years, when now he’s looking at something entirely different and doesn’t even know it.

These people have no idea what they’re looking at, for centuries money and markets were two separate things, you used money to buy things (or stocks and bonds) at markets. Now we have centrally-planned and issued business participation notes instead of money, and we have curiosities like the BOJ who issues forth a thing (a JGB) and then buys it from itself, with no other buyers in sight.

No Vol And No Volume – Even The WSJ Questions Equity Melt-Up

Tyler Durden's picture

It’s encouraging to see that one mainstream media outlet questioning the recent market melt-up which wasn’t just notable for the lack of volatility, but also a severe lack of volume. The new normal seems to be “No vol and no volume”, although we saw a bit of a regime shift today, before the normal reversal.
