China now owns over 2 BILLION DOLLARS of American Farmland. And they are buying it up as fast as they can. A country needs food, water , energy. Why are we allowing this?

My spidey instinct tells me this isn't really a big deal.

I dont know . They own smithfields I know for certain and when you got a cash cow backing you, you can low ball and push all your competion out of the way. Bleed em out. Then name your price. Just look at how little competition is left amongst the packouts, processing plants.

My gut is China owns an immaterial amount of "farmland"

Yep. They bought out Smithfield’s which means every pig operation in North Carolina …. Which is a ton. They are also deep in our tobacco .

Since China and farmland and agriculture has come up, which is disturbingly concerning that they own what they do (GMOs, chemicals, control, etc), how about checking out what they are doing in South Dakota?

Yes that happened a decade ago. China still owns very little of farmland here.

No more from me here on this. This is for stonks ???

So China owning a crapton of our commodities and the means to control them aren't correlated with "stonks"? Ya gotta think a tad bit deeper here my friend......
 
It’s not my thing but bonds are probably going to be a good trade soon. Yes, the Fed isn’t involved in the bond market right now, but I would think the initial touch of 2.65-2.67 fails at least for a little while on TNX.

Or maybe an overshoot and fail.

I’ll probably hit the eject button on SARK when that happens…granted maybe I shouldn’t considering that I was a successful reverse jinx a few weeks ago when I bought it (my next move here really should be oil, if I do that then perhaps the Ukraine war ends, sadly it likely doesn't work as a reverse jinx if I say it out loud). Probably won’t use it again after I hit eject, my holdings don’t correlate anyway.

HYG has been what’s mattered anyway post-January 24th and there’s been occasions where it’s been calm and treasuries have not been (although that doesn’t look good as of today either, it can see a multi-day selloff). But even though I feel HYG has been what's mattered, it'll be funny to me if bond yields see a top tomorrow or on CPI day. Peak bad news...possibly.
 
wants to visit the daily 200ma today. Is that the demand zone that’s going to send this higher over the next couple months?
 
NQ right at the 50dema. I am hoping things stay heavy until the Fed mtg mins and than maybe see a rally.

Looking at the chart.....the .38-.5 fib levels is arond $14100-$14300. That could be a legit area for a bounce if 50dema doesn't hold.

Obviously talking about how I don’t see another January Fed mins type dump is already wrong (didn’t here, it was on Reddit). Question now is if it just gets worse then it was then. I was a little concerned with the minutes but didn’t see a 500+ point dump on NQ.

I suppose we’re acting surprised since all Jay said last month was that we’re still finalizing QT, because I don’t know why anyone thought QT wasn’t coming as it is even though I have doubts on it lasting.

Or maybe it leaked that they’re going to do active sales, instead of up to 100 billion a month.

Since it was wrong…here goes nothing…

ARKK to 12 and SARK to infinity, I was wrong to say that I’m going to hit the eject button on SARK, because we’re still in the middle of crashing.

TNX to 8% by this summer and HYG down to 50, as most companies go bankrupt which causes unemployment to spike back up.


I’m trying to be sarcastic…but it’s bad sarcasm.

What an economic plan unfolding. I guess this is good news. So good that the common working man is getting squeezed so hard, hes gotta start financing his grocery bill. Recession has statrted and well underway. We can see it at work looking at the retail sales forecast changing daily, headed for the cliff. Of course itll be Fall,post election before the players own up/admit to it.

Another captain obvious statement from the fed: Fed's Harker says higher oil prices 'will be with us for a little while'

This is all virtue signaling at this point.
