A uber bearish interview with David Stockman


Recommended Posts

David Stockman is brilliant, unfortunately as stated before markets can stay irrational longer than you staying solvent. If we start seeing in Europe a move away from QE which i do doubt, then you will see a very big correction, since that is what is holding these house of cards in a upright position.

I don't think we will see the straw that breaks the camel's back until we look back on the carnage , that is the very definition of a black swan event.  Even then I suspect it will not be any one obvious thing, like an election result or a Fed rate rise but rather just that reality will dawn, slowly, that this particular market bubble relies on the emperors at the central banks to continue spinning the plates and that the emperors have no clothes on...

 

At some point the alternative voices like Stockman will be joined by sufficient mainstream voices to cause a tipping point.  So far this current "correction" is off the election risk and Fed rate rise risk narrative rather than the true bubble issue (at least in the mainstream).  If the election is seen as a "so what" event, which it is either way in my view, and the markets shrug off a Fed rate rise, which they did last time, OR no such rise materialises due to sufficient doubt about the data (series of low NFP prints anyone?) then the markets could easily revert to the "Central Bank Put" because the alternative is too awful for the fee earning spivs to contemplate.

 

Imagine what the technicals might look like, here is the S&P as an example:

 

If the current market Top is actually a wave 3 (pink) then the current bearish move can Drop quite far without negating a higher high set up and a turn around the Fib 38% (blue) from the Feb 2016 low (coinciding with the Fib 76% - green - from the end June 2016 low) and could also be at the descending trend line (hashed blue) which, if the market rallies back to a fresh high, would result in an expanding Triangle formation (highly bearish in this case but only after a fresh all time high).  Such a formation is rare but the Central Bank bubble would be the right kind of situation to see such an outlandish set up.

 

With everyone clamouring for a large correction I can't help feeling that this is not it and even if it is then we will see a wave 1 followed by a strong retrace rally in wave 2.  I must admit I favour that latter and deep down I hope that it is so we can get on with it but can't discount the former and don't want to get caught in a Bear trap.   Either way Santa Claus rally anyone?  NY2017 seems like a better bet to me.

True Mercury. I do think this is a complete overreaction to a potential Trump Win and therefore the market is just pricing it in, but once the election is over regardless of the result, the Fed will be heavily in focus, of course any external influences may suggest otherwise. I will be looking to possibly Buy the index on the FTSE100 possibly after the election. Right now its market jitters and without doubt oil is having a heavy influence.

When the crowd are all on one side of the boat it either capsizes of they start to shift to the other side.  Looks like the beginnings of a shift to me rather than a capsize.  Even if The Donald wins on Tuesday/Wednesday I doubt we will see a full on capsize, although we will probably see a surge back to the downside for a while.  However commodities (other than Gold perhaps) march to the beat of a different drum so if, like me, you feel this is a potential turning point for a rally then the other noise is not bothersome to trade Oil and copper.

    • Shiba Inu (SHIB) experienced an extraordinary surge in January 2021, skyrocketing by 45,131%. Despite its fall from an all-time high of $0.00008845 in October 2021, data from Coinpedia Markets shows SHIB is still up by a staggering 1,028,241% from its launch price in August 2020. As of Writing Shiba Inu was trading at  0.00001308 With 1.21% Loss in the Last 24 Hours  In recent months, Shiba Inu, like many other cryptocurrencies, has been in bearish territory. However, this hasn’t dampened investor enthusiasm. According to CoinMarketCap, 80% of Shiba Inu community members remain bullish on the token’s future. Positive Sentiment and Breakout Predictions Shiba Inu’s community remains optimistic, with several analysts predicting an imminent breakout. One analyst noted the contraction of SHIB’s Bollinger Bands as a signal of potential price movement. Trader Dexter recently forecasted that Shiba Inu could reach a price of $0.00015, sparking further interest in the token. Potential Returns on Shiba Inu Investment Although some argue that SHIB may not replicate its 2021 rally, even a fraction of that growth could result in substantial gains. Let’s break down potential returns from an investment of $1,000 at different growth rates. At SHIB’s current price of $0.0000138, a $1,000 investment would buy 72,463,768 tokens. If SHIB rises by 1,000%, the price would jump to $0.0001518, turning a $1,000 investment into $11,000. A 10,000% increase would take SHIB’s price to $0.001393, yielding $100,999 on a $1,000 investment. Shiba Inu may have seen ups and downs, but its community remains optimistic about its future. With potential breakouts on the horizon and the possibility of significant returns, SHIB continues to be a token worth watching in the crypto market.
    • Over the past year and a half, Tron (TRX) has shown impressive growth, with its value increasing by 80% despite some market corrections. Here’s a quick breakdown of Tron’s price action and recent developments: Price Movement: TRX reached a high of $0.17 last month before retracing by 8%, finding support at $0.147. After some fluctuation, it currently sits in the $0.15 range, showing signs of a positive trend. Bullish Indicators: This week, TRX has posted gains, with increased trading volatility signaling a potential rebound. The daily chart suggests a “buy” signal, indicating a bullish impulsive phase may be starting. If this momentum continues, Tron coin could rise to $0.20 in the next few days. Stable Growth: Despite market ups and downs, Tron has been relatively steady, thanks to its strong DeFi ecosystem, efficient DApps, and fast transaction times. These factors help TRX remain competitive, even as new players enter the market. Justin Sun Challenges Coinbase Over PoR Tron’s founder, Justin Sun, has been vocal in his criticism of Coinbase’s approach to Proof-of-Reserve (PoR). Here's what's happening: PoR Debate: Sun expressed confusion over Coinbase’s refusal to adopt PoR, especially after the exchange launched its cbBTC product. Sun pointed out that major exchanges like Binance have embraced PoR, questioning why Coinbase considers it “unfeasible.” Transparency Concerns: Sun emphasized that the crypto community isn’t asking for perfection but simply for more transparency. He believes that revealing wallet addresses is a simple task that can foster trust within the industry, especially in the wake of the FTX collapse. Trust Issues: Sun also raised concerns about relying solely on audit firms for security, stating that being a public company doesn’t guarantee protection from bankruptcy. He mentioned the collapse of Signature Bank as an example, highlighting the need for self-regulation in the crypto space. Tron’s Long-Term Potential Looking ahead, Tron continues to show promise as a long-term investment. Its strong developer base and wide range of applications, from games to entertainment, make it an attractive option in the competitive cryptocurrency landscape. With Justin Sun pushing for more transparency and the continued development of Tron’s ecosystem, TRX remains one of the few cryptocurrencies trading steadily and positioned for future growth.
