The Election Risk - Blue Wave or Red Wave - the markets are going into this all one one side of the boat and that to me suggests that after the next 48 hours of mayhem, the risk is potentially the opposite (nothing to do with who wins).

Everyone is ALL in on reflation..
The short position in 10 year bonds is 4 standard deviations from trend (not adjusted for OI, but still record short by any measure).
Speculators are near record short the US dollar....
They are record long the Euro...
But in % of OI terms, there is a thrust higher in positioning and that has always led to a higher dollar in this bull market.
And in equities, hedge funds are also record long....
The contrarian in me is suggesting if everyone is expecting the same outcome then the odds of that outcome playing out as expected, are lower.

Be a little careful out there. It might be a wild 48 hours or maybe 48 days.
*this is 30 year bonds. Sorry, its early!

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.

Bitcoin is eating the world...

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...

Because life is not just about bitcoin, here are some bond charts to make you think.

I have used the 2001/2 chart versus current since Spring of last year and they helped me nail all of the moves in bonds.

Past performance is no guarantee but I still like these, a lot.
Here are 10 yr yields versus 2001/2, its time for yields to fall.
And due to the fact that the correction this time looks less on chart due to scale, here is the zoomed in version.

Important Thread:

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.

And tomorrow, the IMF holds a conference on digital currencies and cross-border payment systems..

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.
