Welcome to 2019 where the investment thesis of the year is, wait for it:

Kicking 🥫🏃‍♂️ the can down the road:

a) Trade-war deadline, extended, again;
b) Brexit, likely extended (deadline of Article 50 extended);
c) Fed rate hikes, extended;
d) China deleveraging, extended;

👌
Word of the year: EXTENDED 🤑
Things not looking good! (Ramble on China debt, UK crashing out of the European Union, slow growth in the Euro-zone, Japan & increasingly Asia, weak growth in EM, rising geopolitical tensions, the US paralysis on policy to fix basic issues)

Dude, haven't u heard of extension?👌
Look, extended is totally happening. Look at this! AUD rallying on EXTENSION!

Q: What's happening markets today?
A: Totally extended man! Rallying! 👌
This thesis is all encompassing. Watch.

Q: Wut's happening in equities?
A: Extended!!!

🤗

Look at ytd global equity performance in USD.
Watch extension working its magic #China :

Shanghai composite index up 17% ytd. Yep, pretty good for just 3 months of investing. You could spend all your time analyzing details of China easing so far (fiscal, monetary, sectoral-specific research, etc) or u can be:

EXTENDED!🙌🤑
Watch me do this for FX, namely emerging markets vs USD:

EXTENDED!!! 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Btw, this works inversely as well.

Question: Why are markets down?
Answer: Extended fatigue. Too extended...

😉👌
Then ramble on why it's down:

China debt, UK crashing out of the European Union, slow growth in the Euro-zone, Japan & increasingly Asia, weak growth in EM, rising geopolitical tensions, the US paralysis on policy to fix basic issues...

That's global markets in a nutshell 👌
Extended trade in full gear in #China - Shanghai Composite up +5.6% (yes, intraday move, no big deal)

Q: How many times since 2010?
A: 4 times, 3 times in 2015 & today.

Q: How many times does it drop -5%
A: 23 times

23 days of >-5% & four days of >+5%

🇨🇳👌😬
China since 2010 - it's one of the most volatile markets in the world w/ more intraday move of >-5% than most.

Meaning, everyday when you trade, have higher hit ratio of >-5% (23 times) than +>5% (three times in 2015 when the build up of the bubble occurred).

Today's special!
Another day, another "extended trade", we're TOO EXTENDED today...😬

Why? China debt, UK crashing out of the European Union, slow growth in the Euro-zone, Japan & increasingly Asia, weak growth in EM, rising geopolitical tensions, the US paralysis on policy to fix basic issues..
