a reminder that the history of banking is littered with banks' failed promises to convert bank deposits at par and on demand without the state, because state backing of that promise involves proper regulation - the social contract with banks.

ft.com/content/6a77d8…
as Prof Chick (RIP) brilliantly put it: the fundamental story in banking is par convertibility as a social contract between the state and banks
this is why par convertibility is expensive for banks, and money is hierarchical:

banks will try to manufacture credible promises to covert at par on demand without expensive state backing (like shadow money)

We tipically associate 💉 w/⬇️ O2, but what else can ⬆️ 💉? Many things!:

It appears America's current foreign policy is seriously out of whack with the rest of the world's morality. "The UN...failed to condemn an attack on a detention center for migrants in Libya after the United States did not endorse a proposed statement." english.alarabiya.net/en/News/north-…
"11:55 p.m. The UN "will issue a statement condemning the attack on a migrant detention camp near Libya's capital of Tripoli, but there is no agreement yet on the text.... Diplomats... said the United States was waiting for instructions from Washington." yahoo.com/news/latest-un…
America has uncoupled not only Libya, but Venezuela, China, North Korea, Afghanistan and Iran. Let's see which one runs off the tracks first. Iran has charted a new courses knowing full well that their oil is important to Europe and China. foxnews.com/world/irans-ha…

Here’s the Trade Setup for the Volatility Burst Strategy:
Volatility = ATR of the last 20 Days
High & Low Vol = Highest High & Lowest Low of Volatility in last 252 Days
Upper Band = Highest High of High over the last 50 Days
Lower Band = Lowest Low of Low over the last 50 Days
#2
Back-test reports of the Volatility Burst Strategy show that its Annual Return Percentage is 28.47%. This is what the equity curve looks like.

As you can see, it’s important to take a position at the right time. But it’s also important to know how to exit when you’re losing.
#3
The drawdown graph of the Volatility Burst Strategy shows the maximum loss incurred.
The next step? We’re going to add a trailing stop loss and see what happens next.

@mikeinthevalley @GlobalBC 1/ And I’m seriously tired of the consequences of money laundering on our ppl and province. I’m seriously tired of no one being held accountable. I’m seriously tired of the lack of answers. I’ll be happy to be quiet on this once it is fixed, but
@mikeinthevalley @GlobalBC 2/ your asinine comments are why too many in govt have been quiet. The fact you’re more outraged by seeing someone fighting for action than the issue itself tells me enough.
@mikeinthevalley @GlobalBC 3/ And FTR: Damn proud to be the Mayor of PoCo, my hometown. Able to walk and chew gum. And if you care to do a modicum of research you’ll see that in under 100 days in office we’ve done a lot to get the city #backtobasics delivering core services to residents.
