How The Yield Curve Predicted Every Recession For The Past 50 Years.Â
(CNBC)
The yield curve was once just a wonky graph for academics and policymakers. But in recent years it has become a way to forecast looming recessions. The curve has helped predict every recession over the past 50 years.

Historically High Froth in Speculative Companies.
(QuantifiableEdges)
Well, it appears this is some froth in small caps. This does not suggest that the momentum cannot continue or that Russell 2000 Index or the rest of the market has to decline right away. But I would expect to see a reversion here at some point. There has been a lot of money pumped into the economy, and over the last few months, a big chunk of that has gone into smaller and less established companies. In fact, it is not only less established companies, it is even shell companies that are seeing massive inflows.Â
