Just Stop

By -

The oddly-now-bullish site Zerohedge keeps looking for any reason for the market to rally this morning, even if it means doubling up and recycling the same contrived reason in adjacent articles.

The lying dictatorship of China isn’t going to save you. The “pivot” isn’t going to safe you. Peak inflation isn’t going to save you (and neither will the deflation which takes its place). The sins of the past three decades must be repaid, and that repayment doesn’t come in the form of a 6% dip in the Dow Industrials.

As for tomorrow, the permabullish ZH is calling for a “meltup” for the entire rest of the year!. They sure have changed!

Time to Truly Test

By -

As most of you know, this morning the site was brought to its knees because a new feature – – emojis – – wasn’t quite ready for prime time. I’d like your help putting it through the paces, and this time I’ve opened up our development test server for everyone. Please go to this post and leave comments and “emoji” other comments that are there. I really need you to emoji the hell out of this thing so we can smoke out any issues. I say again, please go there now and bang on it, because the more real-world data we’ve got, the better. You’ll probably have to log in when you get there (since it’s a development server) but once you’re logged in, have at it! Thank you very much, and I look forward to re-introducing emojis in a condition that doesn’t wreck my beloved Slope.
