Read of the Day:
"Can helicopter money be dropped without inflation, perhaps for a spell; but I know how this is supposed to end, or at least that’s what I learned at UChicago.
If indeed pigs can fly forever, fine, I burned 20bp a year to find out. But this is a minimal cost to protect a rate sensitive portfolio of long-dated Muni’s, Mortgage REIT’s, MLP’s and leverage CEF’s that have a static cashflow yield north of 8.0%."

Comment:
The new “flip” line is 3270, “or 3258 ex the 1/31/20 expiry (ref 3255 last in futures)”, Charlie says. The straightforward implications are… well, they’re straightforward.

A move below that line means “Dealers are getting ‘short-er Gamma’, particularly into the US Cash close” which would entail “more Dealer SELLING the lower we go”.
