PORT MORESBY (Reuters) - The United States will not back down from its trade dispute with China, and might even double its tariffs, unless Beijing bows to U.S. demands, Vice President Mike Pence said on Saturday.
As I noted earlier this week, what the Demos taking majority in the House means that they will shut it down. The WSJ notes as well.
""Arguably the most important power at stake in Tuesday’s election was Congressional oversight, and the most important change may be Adam Schiff at the House Intelligence Committee. The Democrat says his top priority is re-opening the Trump-Russia collusion probe, but more important may be his intention to stop investigating how the FBI and Justice Department abused their power in 2016""
also when will the other 3 FISAs --- the last of which was apparently signed by Rod Rosenstein --- in 2017 ---after Trump took office...that's the biggie...
When? the block on Trump's recent order was assumed to be Sessions. Methinks it's something he will keep in his pocket. But nonetheless - the gloves are off.
Watch some of the answers he gave to reporters yest on teh WH lawn as he headed off on his way to Paris. Clips on the net.

The Federal Reserve said it will start publishing a semiannual report on financial stability. The report, the first of which will come on Nov. 28, will include a summary of the central bank's framework for assessing the resilience of the U.S. financial system and a discussion of key indicators related to the main financial stability vulnerabilities: asset valuations, borrowing by businesses and households, leverage in the financial sector, and funding risks. The Fed said the report will complement the annual report of the Financial Stability Oversight Council. The Fed said the annual review of whether to activate the countercyclical capital buffer will be conducted in January.

even as strategists at big banks from Goldman, to Citi, to Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan have recommended fading the rally in American stocks while forecasting the second-weakest year-end period of the market's now-record long bull run. And, as we enter Q4, sellside analysts, traditionally cheerleaders for further market gains, look "timid", and according to the average year-end S&P 500 target of 2,956, they forecast just a 1.4% gain in the fourth quarter. That would be the worst close to a year since 2012. ZeroHedge

Margin
- allows to buy more securities that one could with cash only.
- is the difference between the market value of a stock and the loan amount.
100 shares x $10 x 50% margin rate = $500 required cash in account to buy $1000 worth of shares.
Always, ALWAYS KNOW the amount by which a stock falling in price will wipe out your position so that will lose all your money, plus interest and commissions.
The BEAUTY of a margin account vs a cash account is that when things go south, they get ugly really fast. In fact so ugly as to lead to personal or corporate bankruptcy, possibly suicide.
Everything in your account - ALL you assets - as well as your personal guarantee, are held as assurance by the broker. You WILL repay the debt no matter what happens in the trading account itself.
IF the account blows up you are on the hook for the money immediately (usually within 3 days max).
No payment plan.
No terms.
If you don't pay the broker can haul you to court to get judgments to seize your other assets. You may have to borrow new money (ie go into debt) to pay off the broker's judgement.

The trillion-dollar shift to passive investments, computerized trading strategies and electronic trading desks will exacerbate sudden, severe stock drops, Kolanovic said.

Some small publishers have seen their income slashed over 50%.
“One of the Facebook policy changes that kind of went under the radar and it went into effect in February was the branded content policy. And it decreased my income from Facebook by 60 percent, overnight. No explanation.” said Holly Homer, a Texas entrepreneur who runs the Facebook pages for “Quirky Mama” and “Kids Activities.”
Last month, Facebook was once again in the news after a top executive allegedly told a group of digital publishers that Mark Zuckerberg "doesn't care" about news publishers, and is happy to let them die if they don't cooperate with the company.
"I’ll be holding your hands with your dying business like in a hospice," said Facebook global head of partnerships, Campbell Brown.

Citi fined over $10 million by SEC over controls, supervision
Published: Aug 16, 2018 10:50 a.m. ET
Citigroup C, +1.49% will pay $10.5 million to settle two lawsuits from the Securities and Exchange Commission, one stemming from $81 million of losses due to trader mismarking and unauthorized proprietary trading and another from $475 million of losses due to fraudulently-induced loans made by a Mexican subsidiary. ... blablabla ... Citi did not admit or deny either finding.
And so no-one loses hand or two (just their job) , citi pays a fine (or Permit to Fraudulate fee) and .... beat goes on.
dc CB one could think it should be supportive of short players/
that outfit needs more institutional players to start dumping their holdings. Preferably all at once (say in a panic stampede looking to beat one the other to the exit door)
If Tesla's PR department thought today's reported SEC subpoenas and 'formal' investigation transition by the regulator would be the worst of its problems, they got a very unpleasant surprise when Tesla whistleblower Martin Tripp started tweeting photos, internal emails, and Vehicle Identification Numbers of Model 3 VIN numbers that allegedly have damaged or punctured battery packs in them, and which he says are evidence of flawed manufacturing practices at Tesla's battery factory, and could put drivers' lives at risk.
One month ago, we reported that Martin Tripp - the former Tesla engineer who on June 20 was sued by Tesla for allegedly trying to "sabotage" the company - and who subsequently turned out to be a whistleblower who was fired in retaliation for his attempts to warn Tesla execs of severe quality control production problems, was alleging several egregious safety violations that, if true, would likely destroy what remains of Musk's tattered credibility, which the SEC is currently subpoenaing.

joyya there is too much cash on the sidelines for that to happen.
NB how Fidelity and others having been raising cash recently.
The fact that there is talk (Which I haven't heard but then what do I know) suggests that it wont come to pass. IE the expected does not happen and even if it did patience waiting for the turn and confirmation will be just as good as trying to anticipate something that may not come to pass.
reminder
The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

That warm and fuzzy feeling of a loss by rationalizing that it “represents a very small part of our overall credit business.”
some principles like:
- redeployed billions of pounds of assets into riskier and more lucrative trading activities in a bid to boost returns and
- seeks to take on more risk to chase higher returns
A corporation issues five-year fixed-rate bonds. Its treasurer expects interest rates to decline for all maturities for at least the next year. She enters into a one-year agreement with a bank to receive quarterly fixed-rate payments and to make payments based on floating rates benchmarked on three-month Libor. This agreement is best described as a:
futures contract.
forward contract.
swap.
