Stocks struggled to digest the irrational exuberance when Treasury Secretary Mnuchin announced that there is unlikely to be any stimulus package anytime soon.

Why should there be? All the people that matter to the elite have already been amply rewarded for their financial crimes and craven service to injustice. Only those who are lost in darkness will still listen to them.

The Dollar slumped, and gold and silver rallied.

Wax on, wax off.

This is the cycle of the con game.

Not the sophisticated schemes you may imagine, or see in novels and movies. 

Rather they are like street cons: simple, brazen, thuggish. 

They are just embellished with fine words and payoffs.

There will be a stock market option expiration on Friday.

Have a pleasant evening.
