Apr 01, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

It’s the same story pretty much everywhere: Cities and states promised ridiculously generous (by today’s standards) pensions to teachers, cops and firefighters, failed to sufficiently fund the plans and invested the money they did have very badly. And now the weight of the resulting unfunded obligations are crushing not just plan recipients but entire communities. […]

Apr 01, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

Writing in The Nation, Robert Pollin asserts: All of [Bernie Sanders’s] major proposals are grounded in solid economic reasoning and evidence. Reading this statement, I was quite surprised. Despite the fact that many of the proposed policies would, in my opinion, likely prove beneficial — greater infrastructure spending for instance — the key question surrounds the impact of […]

Quarter End Repetition

Apr 01, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

It is quarter end, so illiquidity irregularity is to be expected except that it isn’t irregular really. Eurodollar futures have been heavily bid for three days in a row now, leaving four consecutive up days for the first time since the liquidations. And because I am a sucker for fractal behavior, repo markets proved that […]

Confusion and delay ultimately have a price to pay. That’s the case whether it is the perpetuating of a ‘bad news is good news’ monetary policy of low rates for an infinite period of time, or whether it’s a lack of cohesive strategies to engage terrorists in Europe, ‘as if’ it’s still early enough to […]
