Tricky Dicky was the author of this farce.

I'm guessing this was the end to the USA being on gold standard. If its not finite it will lose value |

Why has Bitcoin gone stratospheric ?
Musk and Druckenmiller have gone for Bitcoin as the $ is toast.

Why has Bitcoin gone stratospheric ? Musk and Druckenmiller have gone for Bitcoin as the $ is toast. This sums it up better then I ever could. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6ZqQS1pmtII am beginning to s--t myself. It is difficult to decide how to fully protect oneself. Bonds aren't the protection they used to be, and even though we may see a bit of a rally if yields fall slightly, it looks like it will be relatively short lived. To me, adding a general commodity fund to a portfolio is important as a hedge to rising inflation (both Copper and Lumber are good indicators of future inflation, and both have risen dramatically over the last year or so), and owning actual precious metals looks increasingly attractive, despite the premiums paid over and above the spot price. With regard to paper Gold, the $1675 - $1700 level has great historical support, but much is dependent on the perception of Gold going forward, related to what happens to Bitcoin, which, at the moment appears to be perceived as the safe haven when the $US and/or markets turn south. At the moment I can only see volatility in the markets increasing as the year progresses, so carefully placed stops for current long positions, executable short trades on S&P ETFs, should the market collapse, and carefully playing the Vix volatility index (also known as the 'fear index') are all looking very attractive precautions to take, as a hedge, and as a trade with regard to shorting and playing the vix. A word of warning about the Vix. The Vix is a complicated instrument and timing is crucial when trading the Vix. There are Vix ETFs that can be used to play the Vix index, however, unless you are sure the index is going to spike (a rise in market volatility) in the near term, an investment will be gradually eroded away, as these ETFs loose value over time, due largely to how they are constructed. The only way the Vix can almost be traded directly, as it were, is within something like a spread bet account. For my own purposes this more attractive then the ETFs, as it does not erode in quite the same way, however there is always an overnight charge for rolling over a position from one day to the next, something to always check on. |

US Stock market correction ! 2021 ? March - October 2021 ? I would say almost a certainty, it's just the timing of the event. If bonds yields continue to rise without a pullback, it will probably be sooner rather then later. The thing of major concern is that the bond market is massive. It's a great worry for pension funds etc. Maybe Jerome Powell can come to the rescue, and talk his way out of it happening. I know, print more fiat. |
