Weekend Reads: The Recurring Death of Certainty + MORE 12:50 pm Jan 15th

The most persistent theme I’ve ever noticed has been that anyone who professes to know exactly what’s going to happen is wrong, cheating, or both. Markets, it’s been proven, just don’t work that way. Neither does life. Read more

Global Risk Off: China Reenters Bear Market, Oil Tumbles Under $30; Global Stocks, US Futures Gutted   “We’re gonna need a bigger Bullard”     – overheard on a trading desk this morning.
