Given the ongoing market volatility, here's a series of notes & quotes from @biancoresearch and @AshBennington on today's @RealVision Daily Briefing:



📝 🧵👇 (n/7)
1// -20% Market Correction in the S&P 500

>> From the previous high to today's intra-day lows, the S&P 500 reached the -20% drawdown threshold.

>> Many stocks have experienced large negative price performance thus far in 2022.

2// S&P 500 Has Fallen for 7 Consecutive Weeks

>> The last time this happened was in 2001 (Jim Bianco)

>> Here's the $SPX data from Koyfin for Friday closing prices: 📉😢

4/8: 4,502.29
4/14: 4,392.59
4/22: 4,271.78
4/29: 4,131.93
5/6: 4,123.34
5/13: 4,023.89
5/20: 3,901.36
3// Contributor to Recent Market Volatility

>> "Fed policy, as part of its arsenal, can lower stock prices to reign in demand to bring down inflation" - @biancoresearch

>> Declines in housing prices & asset prices (bonds, equities, crypto) can cause negative wealth effects.
4// Negative Wealth Effect

>> Negative wealth effect can cause consumer spending & demand to decrease. Deceleration (or decline) in demand + catching up of supply chains + slowing economic growth can cause inflation rate to decline.

>> Historically, recessions kill inflation.
5// Risk Factors

>> Tightening monetary policy, inflation, geopolitical risks, concerns of economic slowdowns, and more are several of the current risk factors in impacting current financial markets.

>> Large drawdowns & losses in one asset class can impact other asset classes
6// Labor Markets

>> According to FRED, there are over 11.5 million job openings available, while there are about 5.9 million unemployed individuals. That's a ~1.9 ratio.

Sources:
>> Job Openings, fred.stlouisfed.org/series/JTSJOL
>> Unemployed Individuals, fred.stlouisfed.org/series/UNEMPLOY
7// Supply Chains

>> Bullwhip effect

>> Global shipping & freight & trucking

>> Inventory management & over-ordering

>> Rolling supply shortages & constraints exist across a range of products

>> Challenged supply chains contributed to supply constraints & delivery delays

Highly recommend watching the latest TED Interview between @TEDchris and @elonmusk!



To save you some time in case you can't watch the full video, here's a series of 16 highlights from the interview below: 👇 🧵
1// The Importance of Optimism & Positive Thinking:

"We want to wake up in the morning and look forward to the future. We want to be excited about what's going to happen. Life cannot simply be about solving one miserable problem after another". - @elonmusk
2// There's a pendulum between "tech pessimism" and "tech euphoria".

> Extreme Pessimism: Nobody works on anything if the future is sad or in a state of disarray.

> Extreme Tech Euphoria: Nobody needs to work on anything because tech is rapidly innovating and solving problems.

Recently, @DavidSacks presented several top-of-mind ideas on a wide-ranging interview with @RubinReport.

Here are my 10 summarized highlights from this episode of the The Rubin Report:👇

1) David Sacks graduated Stanford University in 1994, and he met Peter Thiel at Stanford.

Sacks joined PayPal in 1999 and served as PayPal's Chief Operating Officer.

Currently, he's the founder of Craft Ventures, where he focuses on VC investing in bottom-up enterprise SaaS.
2) While “woke culture” and “cancel culture” may seem like new topics today, both Thiel and Sacks were writing about these topics in the 1990s.
