Endnu engang har aftenens dækning på både TV2 og DR afsløret eklatant mangel på statistisk kundskab i prognosemageriet. Jammerlig justering af demografi/geografi i de første prognoser.
Så vidt jeg kan regne kommer Mette meget meget tæt på 90 mandater
Særligt justeringen af Danmarksdemokraterne var helt helt off. Exit-poll på lige omkring 7% er ikke helt skæv
Deres fejljustering af Danmarksdemokraterne er så pinagtig, at jeg mangler ord. Deres første prognoser kommer til at ramme 3.5-4%-point forkert. Det kan man kun gøre, hvis man ikke forstår sig på statistik.
Mette kan tælle til 90. Bør ikke kunne gå galt nu
Jeg stiller gerne op næste gang @DRNyheder .. I kunne godt trænge til lidt friske øjne på jeres statistiske arbejde
The Fed has a golden opportunity to give the middle finger to the "Fed put" narrative
A thread 1/n😱🤡
Powell basically reiterated that the Fed will keep inflation > stock market in its considerations for the next meetings despite clear signals of a substantially weakening economy
This is a BIG change of scenery from the 2010-2021 Fed

Most investment professionals have gotten used to almost automatic pivots, if the business cycle weakens enough (below 50 in ISM is pivot territory)...
But the tide has turned politically, which is a noteworthy development
As October is now past us, lets break down some of the most interesting developments in equity-space over the past month.
A thread 1/n
What a rebound in Dow! Would be fun if Dow Jones ended 2022 UP on the year..
Also worth noting that small-cap is starting to move ..
Long small cap, short big tech?
2/n
Pulling back the curtain, we see energy stocks still leading the sub-indices. Consumer discretionary and tech suffer, while staples have held ground (Long bottom vs. short top of Mazlow)
This is a textbook inflation/uncertainty rotation... BUT do note the move in Utilities
What's going on with the BIZARRE diesel prices in the North East of US? 🤯
A thread 1/n
The Nov/Dec spread has exploded to the upside hinting of substantial supply scarcity heading into winter, but what are the underlying reasons?
2/n
Chart H/T (@TgMacro) - a must follow in Energy space
The "days of supply" of Diesel is LOW compared to history as the inventory level has remained relatively stable nominally compared to a substantially rising demand
There are several reasons why zero (or even negative) interest rates are VERY unhealthy 🤯📉
Let me provide you with a few practical -and anecdotal explanations from what I have observed over the past 2-4 years
A thread 1/5
First, there is no time value of money in a zero interest rate environment
If the time value of money is zero or even negative, even a forecasted rapidly growing cash-flow from selling Rocketship trips to Mars in 2340 looks compelling
This polutes financial modelling
2/5
Second, creative destruction goes to zero when rates go to zero
When money literally carries no time value, we tend to see an environment of extremely low productivity growth.
Pseudo-projects suddenly seem compelling and bad ideas thrive
