Fake Good News - John Rubino

The Fed has no choice, once they started cutting rates, they have to continue to cut rates. No doubt there will be a trade deal with China. They're out there looming and the financial markets like these headlines. It sells and that's all that matters. Record highs on Wall Street. It doesn't matter that there's no long term solution, everyone has to wear a happy face. But eventually, real news will prevail. We're in the midst of an 11 year bull market. The average is 6 years, so where does that leave us. Healthy borrowers are now at a premium. Cutting rates won't change that. We're out of good credits to loan money to.
