But it's also because over the last two weeks I have written two articles that basically arrive at the same conclusion: that I apparently have little to no idea how markets work at all, where liquidity comes from, and an uncanny ability to not predict how, when or where market crashes will occur. Last week I wrote an article talking about why Fed commentary by Chris Waller and S&P’s “stable” outlook on the U.S. economy were, in my opinion, farcical: Sick Of It All
This followed last week’s article, which postulated that despite not knowing how, when or where a crash will occur, whatever happens next to jar our economy and markets off course likely won’t be undone easily: There Will Be No Turning Back
Last week I also wrote about one company that I think could still be a harbinger of a black swan for markets — and a market gem that could wind up being dead money for years to come: Caution: Black Swan Crossing

Finally, I published analysis of the dwindling money supply: Money Supply Dips for First Time Since November
