One thing I have learned over time is that the markets have an uncanny ability to forecast the future. Trading firms have an almost clairvoyant ability to tune out political noise as the money behind the scenes moves. When big money is involved you can bet someone has info that those of us small time traders will never be privy to.
Over the last few days the market is "afraid" of something. Most likely the threat of an expanding war in the Middle East but there may be something else brewing. After 85 years of relative peace and stability things may be about to change as the BRICS led by China and Russia seek to challenge the agreements made at Bretton Woods.

My son who is doing grad work in NE Missouri says everyone he knows is having trouble finding / keeping employment. Young males are taking it in the shorts seemingly. I told him to read it too.

Our business is getting slower just as it should be getting much stronger. Doesn't look good to me. We get calls from truck brokers looking for loads every hour. The PTB are lying to us....

They don't want to handicap the current MICs (morons in charge) ... assuming that this is not intentional. I hope it's just incompetence. But intentional in places I'm afraid I would buy. PTB? Permanent Terrible Bastards?

Not to be alarmist, but the economy is really, really dead. A person could not possibly launch a business right now, I would say. Not in construction-real estate- interest rate sensitive businesses. Buy apparently everyone is noticing it.

One other grim fact, the USPS seems to be in a state of collapse. Not really being reported in the news I don't think. Not the normal middling service, but a real breakdown.
