There are no certainties in the markets. Otherwise there would be no such thing as risk.
Nothing works all the time. Otherwise it would never work in the first place.
There’s no room for ‘never’ or ‘always’ in the financial markets. Otherwise you’re sure to be surprised in the future.

"It's all about the math as they say" and "a picture is worth a thousand words" in regards to Entendance's latest post in this thread! Not to mention mathematics was my favorite subject in school, if I thought i could have made money being a mathematician my BS/MS degrees would be in that, instead I chose Electrical and Computer Engineering! Still, math plays a huge role in my chosen line of work!

Angela better minds her business, she needs a lot of luck
Deutsche Bank AG DBK:GR Xetra "...There’s nothing at all to worry about. As of its 2015 annual report, Deutsche Bank had a mere €32.87 trillion position in interest rate derivatives and a minuscule €6.3 trillion position in currency derivatives. What can possibly go wrong with that?" -Mish here More on banksters here

German Deutsche Bank faced threat of bankruptcy - ANALYSIS
CNN Money's Fear & Greed ended Fri. just shy of 80% which has been the "line in the sand" for some time now This is Deutsche Bank’s CDS spread and it keeps going the wrong way fast (a CDS is a measure of risk – higher is bad). Things at European banks are not going okay, with Italian banks at the centre of the latest headlines (massive amounts of bad debt). I’ve long highlighted Deutsche Bank as a canary in the coal mine for financial risk in Europe. “If Deutsche Bank were to go under, it would not be like Lehman Brothers where the doors were shuttered one day and everyone was out of a job the next. The German Government would take it over but not before much distress in the system. The problem is that Deutsche Bank has the second largest derivative book in the world behind JP Morgan and that is a serious concern. If the viability of Deutsche Bank were put in jeopardy, we would see many other Euro banks go under which would kick up all kinds of stress in the system reminiscent of 2008”. -otterwood

Taco Bell in 1972
MacDonald’s 1973... talk about inflation!
The 1973 low for MCD stock was 65c, co-incidentally the price of a Big Mac. The average was 89c, about the price of adding fries. Today the stock is $180. A Big Mac and fries today is $5.39.
"...I expect before the coming bull market in gold and silver concludes, we’ll see gold trading for far above $30,000 dollars and silver well above $3000. How is that possible? The US dollar is the play thing of Washington and Wall Street. Before they are through having their way with it they will render it worthless. At that time only a fool would exchange an ounce of gold or silver for any amount of dollars. But we’re years from that point. People are still trading their precious metals for dollars, pesos, pounds and yen. So, at the end of the week how is gold doing in the global market place? Since January 2001 (eighteen years ago) not bad, as seen in the table below.
But then gold and silver could be doing a lot better too. However, considering the thousands of tons of paper gold sold in the paper futures market at the COMEX (promises to deliver tons of metal that are never kept) the performances seen in the table above are not all that bad either. In time all this will change...
...In 1945 the United States, along with its allies convened the Bretton Woods Monetary Accords (BWA) for the post war monetary system. It was not a return to the pre WWI gold standard. Convertibility of paper money to US Treasury gold was limited to central banks. While the US dollar (not gold) was designated as the reserve currency for monetary reserves of other nations money. The BWA also created the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to safe guard the post war monetary system from rampant monetary inflation. It sounded good, but then most government sponsored initiatives executed by academics do. And like President Johnson’s War on Poverty in the 1960s, the Bretton Woods Monetary Accords did not perform as promised. Here is my grip with those who place the blame of terminating the Bretton Woods $35 gold peg solely on President Nixon in 1971, much of the paper money inflation that resulted in its termination happened previous to the Nixon Administration. See table below. The London Gold Pool ceased operation in 1968 when President Johnson was in office, yet from 1945 to 1968 a monetary system with a $35 gold peg had $135.01 paper dollars in circulation for every ounce of gold the US Treasury held as reserves.
Small wonder a run on the US Treasury’s gold began in 1958. Remember: most of the gold held by the US Treasury was in fact European gold that fled WWII. Had the US Government not inflated its supply of paper money, these central banks were happy to have the US government pay the cost of storage for their gold. But as it was these central banks lost faith in the Bretton Woods monetary system, and began demanding their gold back. By August 1971 there was $198.82 paper dollars in circulation for every ounce of gold held by the US Treasury for monetary reserves. As it took only $35 paper dollars for a central bank to demand an ounce of gold from the US Treasury, President Nixon, and the entire Washington establishment knew the pretense of the Bretton Woods’ $35 gold peg was over. So in August 1971 “Nixon terminated the gold backed dollar” – the second 20th century, US Treasury default. Without a link to gold, the expansion in the supply of dollars in both paper and credit (bank loans) has become totally uncontrollable. The chart below is one you’ll never see in a college economics 101 course when they cover the money supply.
The chart above illustrates why since 1971 the American economy has suffered a continuous train of booms followed by busts, the US monetary system has become a great engine of inflation.
1.In the 1970s it was in commodities, gold and silver. 2.The 1980s saw a monetary bubble inflate in the bond market that is only now slowly deflating, as well as leverage buyout (credit based corporate take overs) in the stock market. 3.The 1990s saw an inflationary bubble form in the High-Tech NASDAQ exchange. 4.The 2000s saw the sub-prime mortgage debacle 5.And the 2010s now has an inflationary bubble in everything – except for gold and silver and commodities. It’s not hard predicting what comes next: the 2020s will be the decade when gold, silver and commodities see a monster bull market as everything financial begins to deflate. Many people will suffer from the coming deflationary bear market in financial assets. Take steps to protect yourself and family by acquiring some gold and silver. Just buy it, and forget about it. Someday you’ll be glad you did." The Untold Story Of Nixon And The $35 Gold Peg

"...As the U.S. $100 bill transitioned from a Gold Certificate to a Federal Reserve Note now backed by $22+ trillion in debt, the look of the currency resembles more and more like Monopoly Money than real money. If you look at the little “yellow 100 numbers” printed all over the place to the left of Benjamin Franklin’s face, it almost looks like a child stamped those. Over the past two decades, the percentage of $100 bills to the total Currency In Circulation has risen from 65% in 1998 to 80% in 2018. Which means, 80% of the value of Currency In Circulation consists of $100 bills..."

"...Can 20 years of asset deflation be compressed into a mere two years? Absolutely. The global financial system has been running a 20-year experiment in extremes that's close to producing interesting results. Extremes become more extreme right up until they reverse, a reversal no one believes possible here in the waning days of 2020. If we could measure hubris, it would be near-infinite. and the reversal of that near-infinite extreme will be one for the ages." More here

This is financial tyranny. The U.S. government—and that includes the current administration—is spending money it doesn’t have on programs it can’t afford, and “we the taxpayers” are the ones who must foot the bill for the government’s fiscal insanity. We’ve been sold a bill of goods by politicians promising to pay down the national debt, jumpstart the economy, rebuild our infrastructure, secure our borders, ensure our security, and make us all healthy, wealthy and happy. None of that has come to pass, and yet we’re still being loaded down with debt not of our own making. Let’s talk numbers, shall we?
