The unannounced meeting between the Fed and Trump was a briefing on the Repo Crisis BECAUSE the real crisis cannot be discussed publicly. I have not been getting much sleep lately. This is a very serious crisis and all the BS on TV of these pretend analysts giving their two cents is really amazing. They […]
QUESTION #1: Would you comment on Zoltan Pozsar of Credit Suisse calling this QE4 for year-end.
