Some really ugly signals are showing in the markets. The credit spread is massively widening. Bond prices are cratering while equities are as well. That's really bad. Something is going to be break and spark a financial crisis. This is beyond what banks stress test for.

Millions of bees have died this year. It's "the worst bee loss in recorded history," one beekeeper says
