drbubb Posted May 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 FACEBOOK CO-FOUNDER CALLS FOR GOVT TO BREAK IT UP... Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes called for the break up of Facebook today, arguing in a New York Times op-ed that the site needs to be reined in because its CEO Mark Zuckerberg has “unchecked power” in modern life. While Hughes noted that he hasn’t worked at Facebook in 15 years, he still feels “anger and responsibility” when the site is used as a vehicle for bad actors and nefarious content, like “Russian agents, violent rhetoric and fake news; and the unbounded drive to capture ever more of our time and attention.” “[Zuckerberg is] human. But it’s his very humanity that makes his unchecked power so problematic,” Hughes later notes in the piece. “Mark’s influence is staggering, far beyond that of anyone else in the private sector or in government. He controls three core communications platforms — Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp — that billions of people use every day.” “Mark is a good, kind person. But I’m angry that his focus on growth led him to sacrifice security and civility for clicks,” he added. Hughes also voiced his disappointment in himself and the initial developers of Facebook for “not thinking more about how the News Feed algorithm could change our culture, influence elections and empower nationalist leaders.” Near the end of the op-ed, Hughes took admitted that it “took the 2016 election fallout and Cambridge Analytica to awaken me to the dangers of Facebook’s monopoly” and argued that “Zuckerberg cannot fix Facebook, but our government can.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted May 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 What Could Go Wrong? The Fed’s Warns On Corporate Debt May 9, 2019 by Lance Roberts “So, if the housing market isn’t going to affect the economy, and low interest rates are now a permanent fixture in our society, and there is NO … So, if the housing market isn’t going to affect the economy, and low interest rates are now a permanent fixture in our society, and there is NO risk in doing anything because we can financially engineer our way out it – then why are all these companies building up departments betting on what could be the biggest crash the world has ever seen? What is more evident is what isn’t being said. Banks aren’t saying “we are gearing up just in case something bad happens.” Quite the contrary – they are gearing up for WHEN it happens. When the turn does come, it will be unlike anything we have ever seen before. The scale of it could be considerable because of the size of some of these leveraged deals.” – Lance Roberts, June 2007 It is often said that no one saw the crash coming. Many did, but since it was “bearish” to discuss such things, the warnings were readily dismissed. Of course, what came next was the worst financial crisis since the “Great Depression.” Read more / 2 / Junk Bonds Starting To Rollover? A Concern For Stocks? Are junk bonds about to send stocks a concerning message to stocks? They might be worth watching very closely for hints right now! This chart looks at junk bond ETF (JNK) over the past 6-years. Since 2017, JNK has created the falling channel (1). The rally off the bottom of the falling channel saw it hit the top of the channel and last years lower highs two weeks ago at (2). While testing dual resistance it looks like the apex of rising wedge pattern was in play, as resistance was being tested. / 3 / Sam Zell Says Trump to Slash Interest Rates Could End in 'a Disaster' Sam Zell agrees with President Donald Trump that cutting interest rates by 1 percentage point would be great for the economy, but only at first. Doing so, he said, would threaten the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency. Investor Sam Zell agrees with President Donald Trump that slashing interest rates would make the economy take off rapidly. The consequences of that, though, could be “a disaster,” he said. The president recently suggested that the Federal Reserve cut its benchmark rate by 1 percentage point, which would take it to a range of 1.25% to 1.5%. Trump said doing so would make the U.S. economy take off “like a rocket ship.” Zell agrees, but indicated Wednesday that the long-range impact could not be good.

drbubb Posted May 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 What Blows Up First? Leveraged Corporate Loans By now just about everyone understands what junk bonds are and why they matter. But there’s a non-publicly traded version of this kind of debt that’s also soaring and has recently caught the Fed’s eye. Called leveraged loans, these are loans made by banks to companies with weak balance sheets – defined as debt exceeding six times EBITDA, the broadest measure of cash flow. The dynamic with leveraged loans is the same as with junk bonds (and margin debt, mortgages and car loans), which is to say the longer an economic expansion lasts, the more willing the markets are to fund the sketchier borrows in a given category. Which creates an unstable sector, which leads to a crisis as soon as the economy turns down, and so on. In the Fed’s most recent report on potential sources of instability, leveraged loans earned a place of honor by clocking a 20% increase in the past year, combined with “rapid growth of less-regulated private credit and a weakening of underwriting standards.” The latest warning came from the Federal Reserve who identified rising sales of risky corporate debt as a top vulnerability facing the U.S. financial system in their latest financial stability report. Via WSJ: “Officials, for the second time in six months, cited potential risks tied to nonfinancial corporate borrowing, particularly leveraged loans—a $1.1 trillion market that the Fed said grew by 20% last year amid declining credit standards. They also flagged possible concerns in elevated asset prices and historically high debt owned by U.S. businesses. Monday’s report also identified potential economic shocks that could test the stability of the U.S. financial system, including trade tensions, potential spillover effects to the U.S. from a messy exit of Britain from the European Union and slowing economic growth globally. Specifically, the Fed warned a downturn could expose vulnerabilities in U.S. corporate debt markets, ‘including the rapid growth of less-regulated private credit and a weakening of underwriting standards for leveraged loans.’” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hector Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 After passing up the opportunity to buy puts in SPY, I've decided not to give up on options. EU regs preventing me from purchasing US ETFs stopped me from buying DBA in the past, however today I purchased my first ever option - a call (not just one, heh) on DBA, giving me leveraged exposure to the ETF after all. I chose an expiry of 19 Jul and strike of 16. Cost was 0.23. Hope I did that right. What can I expect to happen as the price of DBA recovers towards 16? Should I sell them out when they get ITM?

This comes after China pledged to raise tariffs on $60 billion worth of imports in retaliation to last week's tariff increase from Washington. The Hang Seng was trading higher in positive territory. The trade dispute escalated last week when The U.S. administration raised tariffs to 25 per-cent from 10 per-cent on some $200 billion worth of imported goods from China. The Dow ended the week 2.1 per-cent lower, its worst week since March 2019, despite a statement from the White House that negotiations were “constructive”. Talks closed with no agreement from either side. Tech and bank stocks were hit the hardest. Chipmakers and tech companies have been weathering the storm as the trade dispute’s outcoming is feared to cause a slowdown in orders. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) opened lower and lost around 5 per-cent by midday, while Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDQ:CSCO) was roughly 3.8 per-cent lower. The only silver lining was around safe-play holdings such as utilities.Read more at https://stockhouse.com/news/newswire/2019/05/13/wall-street-rocked-latest-china-trade-war-salvo#C8SgFvzyfw2pvjxO.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
