Junk Bond implosion in 2016
[Martin] Fridson rules the world of speculative bonds. In his presentation, he showed how high-yield bonds are just as good an investment (if not better) than stocks – during normal times. But times are not normal today… and Fridson is worried. He sees “the next junk-bond implosion” arriving as early as 2016, and lasting through 2019.

Gold is the tell
And as the market begins to get more confidence, to display more hubris, the "tell" that we might be at a top will be found in the price of gold.
"[T]he big hubristic 'tell' will be gold," Hartnett wrote in a note to clients on Friday. "A sudden gap lower in the gold price to below $1,000/oz should coincide with the final thrust higher in stocks, both indicating capitulation of the 'stubborn bears,' the end of the 'melt-up' and the next opportunity to get tactically bearish.

Greenspan on gold
This is kind of hard to listen to but worth it. He says that gold is half commodity and half currency.
See http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-11-07/greenspans-stunning-admission-gold-currency-no-fiat-currency-including-dollar-can-ma . There is a transcript there but it isn't complete.
So in some ways gold acts just like copper or other commodities, like pork bellies or soybeans. But in other ways it acts like the dollar or euro. Makes sense. It would be an interesting paper for an economist to write.

Malls to Data Centers
The Internet is moving to a shopping center near you. In Fort Wayne, Ind., a vacated Target store is about to be home to rows of computer servers, network routers and Ethernet cables courtesy of a local data-center operator. In Jackson, Miss., a former McRae’s department store will get the same treatment next year. And one quadrant of the Marley Station Mall south of Baltimore is already occupied by a data-center company that last year offered to buy out the rest of the building.
