by

Debt is a four-letter word. It's that simple.

Yes, it's a useful tool when used properly and in the right amounts.

But governments, especially, know no bounds. Global public debts have reached insane, and ultimately hazardous, levels.

In the last 15 years, worldwide debt has more than doubled, up by nearly $150 trillion.

It died trying, falling through support, and that's led to an accelerating slide for stocks ever since. As I write this at Monday mid-morning, the S&P 500 is down almost 1%.

Stocks, like a lot of other things, like to move along the path of least resistance. And right now, the path of least resistance is d-o-w-n. 

Let's look at what's greasing the wheels for this persistent downward momentum, when it will get even choppier (and it needs to), and how we might bank a little cash ourselves...
