And Seeking Alpha/Bondsupermart. Picking a random bond cause i'm lazy.
1. Country garden: Fucked.
Their market cap is now 1/3rd of enterprise value, which i'm using as a quick check, should be obvious what problems are facing the entire sector now. The closer those values are, the less problems their in.
2. Poly Real Estate Group
Couldn't find much on this one, seems to be part of a larger SOE. Nevertheless, the bond POLHON 4.000% 10Nov2025 Corp (USD)
Ease Trade Global Limited (Keepwell: China Poly Group Corporation Limited) is also diving.
Iz best i got.
Skipping 3, cause we know Evergrande.
4: Vanke, not yet affected! Opportunity because it's part of the big 3 that my Chinese friend mentioned, and Country Garden was the one doing well.
Market cap is ~40% of enterprise value. Their last reported free cash flow: -$2.64B.
5, Sunac: Completely Fucked.
Market cap is <$9B, Enterprise value $52B.
Shows you how deeply troubled these markets are, because Seeking Alpha lists their last Net Income as $5,68B (on an Enterprise Value of $52B that's highly sus lol), and free cash flow of $4,77B (again, sus).
Also they're listed as -20% premarket LOL.
6, Longfor Properties: Opportunity! Not yet affected.
Share price $39.67, book value per share: 2.84. Plenty of cash on hand ($15B), but that's according to SA.
Mind you, between CG ($58B), Vanke ($67B), Sunac ($52B), Longfor ($58B), and polygroup's probably around the same size, we're looking at a 2nd Evergrande already in terms of size.
7, Seazen holdings: Fucked.
Can't find market cap but i'm assuming around the same size.
8, China Resources Land: Opportunity! Not yet affected.
$56B enterprise value, $26B market cap.
SA's stats though is looking like the best one i've seen yet. But we're not talking polished turds here, but contagion risk. The market might not care.
Finally 9 (couldn't find 10), China Overseas Investment & Land Ltd: Fucked.
Couldn't find a bond because there's too many, part of China Holdings Group.
I know they're fucked, because Ping An is also a part of them, and they already got hit with contagion.
$44B EV, $22B MC.
Now, there's probably more, but i'm not gonna keep this up all night.
The point i wanted to make is, #Evergrande#Contagion is already well underway, and we're not dealing with small companies here. Each one of these is large enough to shock the system, and MOST are already gone

#Bitcoin fell to $90K again, pushing Bitfinex back up to $1.0006. This comes as no surprise to followers of the Tether watch, since i said it wasn't gonna hit $100K based on peg strength, and nothing has changed.
It's a simple relationship, the more BTC rises the more Bitfinex falls, and at the rate of rising and falling, at $100K Bitfinex will be around $0.998, which is the limit of this charade.
Why? OBSERVED HISTORY! It's the rest that comes up with conjecture. I've got a chart!
There's only 2 "official" depegs on that chart, both denoted a top in Bitcoin for an extended period of time. That simply cannot be coincidence, especially not if i increase the line a little bit more to 0.999 and then draw boxes around the depegs and the BTC price at the time.
I'ma bout to lose my goddamn mind. I've broken down a monthly+ chart of Bitfinex's USDT:USD peg, compared to BTC:USD on Coinbase and Tether's market cap; everything since the recent BTC bottom.
I mean to me these patterns are obvious. This is such a disaster.🧵
To clarify:
Every ponzi has a dollar (or local currency) limit. That's the real cash pile, which they use to service real dollar obligations; obligations that don't take casino tokens.
The real cash limit here is whatever leverage Abraxas/Cumberland/Wintermute can build up.
Meaning Abraxas and Cumberland lend to buy USDT, Wintermute lends to buy crypto, then Abraxas/Cumberland sells USDT to Wintermute for Crypto, they use the dollars to lever down/cycle again, while Wintermute pushes everything into Binance where it cycles until retail buys it.
You know why the fucking Greek 10 year is trading 1.4% below the US 10 year? Why the market is *explicitly* saying the US is riskier to lend money to than Greece?
Greek debt-to-gdp in 2023 was *lower* than 2012. Italy is our worst basket case running 6% deficits - still lower.
The UK isn't even lower than 2020, and a full 20% higher than 2012. The United States managed to lower it by 3% vs 2020, but is worse off compared to 2012 at 22.7% higher debt to gdp. And it's higher.
Europe has known, and has experience with, Austerity. That's the difference.
#Bitcoin tagged a $94K handle because the cartel needed some USD. We're sorry for the inconvenience this caused (thanks for the $1B in liquidations though).
The peg was restored and we'll return you to your regular slumber forthwith.
USDT:USD on Kraken can only spike if somebody throws a bunch of dollars at it, which means somebody is buying Tethers with dollars en masse. Not the behavior of somebody trying to rapidly get out of crypto, it'd be the other way around.
And why not buy USDT with BTC directly?
Cause it's all a fraud anyway. Kraken's orderbook until a deep de-peg is only $7 million deep. And USDT/USD is tied for biggest volume on Kraken with BTC/USD. Which has $15M to clean out the book until $500 lower (can't check further). This is all very shallow.
#Tether's done $1.4B in 2 days at 0%, so Saylor had best hurry up if he wants to keep pace with their rate of printing. $3.5B just this week alone. Especially since Tether's still at a high premium so they'll print way more. Infact they're printing hundreds of millions right now.
