Exposed<\/strong><\/h1>\n

While this weekend\u2019s headlines are dominated by who got exposed to and infected by Coronavirus from the President on down I want to make sure other key news items are not lost in the shuffle, specifically those that expose a system that has self corrupted itself and is desperately trying to keep the balls in the air while causing ever more long lasting damage to our global economy.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face it: This week\u2019s market action was dominated by dozens of stimulus headlines. Stimulus progress and markets rip higher, stimulus disagreements and markets dropped lower exposing markets again to be a toy thing of the liquidity game.<\/p>\n

Will they or won\u2019t they is the question on everyone\u2019s mind and many bets are placed that they will, for likely they must as the jobs growth picture is slowing dramatically from the summer sugar recovery high and keeping markets and consumer confidence high into the election is a political imperative.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t think for a second that they are not political imperatives. Market levels are as much a national security imperative as is having a strong military. For the last few years Larry Kudlow\u2019s curiously timed TV appearances have become a fodder of Twitter jokes and yours truly has been at the forefront on Twitter of mocking the ever so obvious attempts to manipulate markets higher at every corner and opportunity.<\/p>\n

Oh you\u2019re just a conspiracist. No, I just try to cut to the truth and reality of markets.<\/p>\n

And sometimes that truth slips out:<\/p>\n
