“Our right brain perceives the big picture and recognizes that everything around us, about us, among us and within us is made up of energy particles that are woven together into a universal tapestry. Since everything is connected, there is an intimate relationship between the atomic space around and within you - regardless of where we are.”

“Your body is the life force of some fifty trillion molecular geniuses. You and you alone choose moment by moment who and how you want to be in the world. I encourage you to pay attention to what is going on in your brain. Own your power and show up for life. Beam bright!”

The Credit Markets and the TED Spread

The credit markets look terribly weak. Especially high yield debt. Below is a chart of the SPDR Barclay High Yield Bond ETF (JNK).

The credit markets saw a rally the latter part of 2008. They have since faltered. Look for the credit markets to take out their lows from November. Then you’ll see the TED Spread zoom higher than it did last year. Guess what happens then? The $VIX goes even higher than it did in October of 2008.

That’s the thing about Volatility. You have to be positioned before the tipping point hits. If you are positioned before it hits, it is then that you can hit it big.

The Path to Zero Continues

Way back when, I mentioned that Prologis (PLD) and American International Group (AIG) would share the same destination. Zero. Like AIG, Prologis (PLD) continues to be attracted, like a magnet, to zero.
