Mid-August Monday; Who Cares? More All-Time Highs

Your editor has been feverishly putting together a couple of boffo posts for later this week... maybe next week, so today is just a place-holder for markets which continue to set new all-time highs.

Yippie! Life can't get any better than this, can it?

Here's to hoping that previous statement isn't true, because there's a sneaking suspicion that, with $13.4 trillion worth of negative-yielding bonds now infecting the global investment landscape, somethng really, really bad is going to pop and there won't be any upside, for anybody.

So, keep wishing.
