Once Upon a Time—Natural Forces

Once upon a time, there was a concept and even a dream of healthy capitalism and natural market forces in which bonds were fairly priced on the basis of a now extinct concept once known as natural supply and demand.

Nod to Adam Smith.

 
VIX Daily with SPX behind... time to get short again?

View attachment 4268
Zed, looks like Dec 02 was a bottom for VIX (or VXX). I bought in about a two months ago and am down about 15%. Didn't spend all of my dry powder but am over-invested in this one stock.
Part of me feels it's time to double down. There's been a lot of volume lately. Thoughts?

They really hit it towards the end of the day after I stopped paying attention. Probably understand that we have a Fed day and CPI here soon and so they Always have to try and hit the metals during those events.
 
Vegetable prices in the United States were up nearly 40% in November over the previous month, according to new figures from the Labor Department.

Damn, we should have invested in lettuce.

Seriously, with diesel fuel at $5-$6/gallon and fertilizer price at double or triple last year. Those costs affect all vegetable prices. Bad, bad situation.
