Suddenly, everything changed... here is some thinking from my last GMI (Global Macro Investor) report:
I think we have now clearly started the transition from Hope phase to Insolvency phase (as per my Unfolding video and this update):
The big rise of the Covid in Europe, the US and Canada is about to exert economic pressures and extinguish the Hope phase of reflation dreams. Growth will not yet recover and a true economic recovery will take more than a post-election stimulus in Jan.
And markets have begun to take notice... the Ibex in Spain, where the economy is in dire straights, is breaking down...
And there big picture is really BAD.
Oil is confirming and looks to be near breaking some sort of H&S top or a GMI Crash Pattern...
The same with the Euro. It's a pretty clear GMI Crash Pattern (sharp fall, fails to make new highs, breaks lower - even more sharply) but needs to break Sept low to confirm.
Bunds, as ever, are the truth and made their move a while ago...yields sharply lower.
The EU Banks Index is close to its next big breakdown...
The Pound with the heady cocktail of virus + BREXIT shit show is potentially a GMI crash pattern too...
Remember - everyone is near record short the dollar...
The Pan-European bank index (including UK, EU and Switzerland) also is headed towards its last support...
And when I say last support, that line is the ALL TIME low... (nationalization, bad banks, bail outs are coming).
In the US, there are similar signs - AT&T, the worlds most indebted company, is very very close to breaking a gigantic GMI crash pattern...
And 30 yr bonds are about the break the Hope Phase up trend. Remember - short positions in 30 years are the LARGEST in all history. Ruh roh.
You can buy bonds and dollars or you can take the life raft - Bitcoin.
Or to dampen the volatility of a risk-off event (we can and will see sharp BTC corrections), you can have all 3 for a near perfect portfolio for this phase...
Good luck. See see how it plays out...

It has become a supermassive black hole that is sucking in everything around it and destroying it. This narrative is only going to grow over the next 18 months.
You see, gold is breaking down versus bitcoin...and gold investors will flip to BTC
And the Nasdaq is next... retail specs are going to flip to bitcoin as it eats techs lunch...
It has already destroyed the banks... they are now at their all time low versus our digital currency hero...
If you don't think Central Bank Digital Currencies are coming, you are missing the big and important picture. This is going to be the biggest overhaul of the global financial system since Bretton Woods.
Talking of Bretton Woods, this IMF article alludes to a huge change coming but lacks real clarity outside of allowing much more fiscal stimulus via monetary mechanisms.
I do sometimes marvel with pride at what've been built with @RealVision and where its all going. Big plans a foot, as ever.
I mean on what other media in the world do you get this:
A shirtless @hendry_hugh in an alley beside his house, in St Barth, eating lunch (messily) while interviewing a less well-known but absolutely legendary bond trader.
And at the same time creating on screen magic
A smart, engaging, funny, intellectual, authentic conversation where everyone goes down the deep learning journey with Hugh.
This is a million miles from what anyone else is doing in financial media.
Well, it's that time again to talk about the Spanish banks (I could talk about all banks in Europe but I'll choose Spain since I know it better and they are the worst).
The Spanish summer of tourist revenues was cut short and was very bad over all. The window of opportunity to
rebuild cash flows for business and households has passed. COVID complications will cause more economic pain and The Insolvency will become prevalent over the autumn and winter.
Last week the EU gave $73bn in help for the EU banks but that failed - they are down 14% since then.
But in Spain... yikes. Banco Sabadell is about to break key support
