We bears all want to see that epic crash.

There are so many things working against that happening.

A quick 🧡 Image
How did this go from 1T to 8T?
Its nearly the size of the feds balance sheet.

Its not a coincidence - corps took on debt and bought back stonk, executives paid in options got rich.

Even in stagflation, corps will do well - they are sitting on mountains of debt - those that globalized will benefit from incredible triage in labor rates around the world.

Habeeb in india is now nearly 20% cheaper to employ... Image
Stagflation makes US employees even MORE expensive - corps cant (or wont) afford; so more work will be shipped overseas, more ppl in america will fall behind.

US becomes more of an empty shell, 2 societies - one at the top making all the important decisions where labor will be employed and factories will be built and the other barely holding on

What is the counter argument?
And as you consider all this - consider this as well - thats 7T in injected capital.

Where will it go?

Say there is a crash - will ppl pull all their equity out of the market?

Will they buy commodities? Bonds? or just hoard cash?

Really think this one thru...
Here is Druk talking about the dollar.

US has a mountain of debt and its nearly impossible to impose new taxes without bringing the entire house of cards down.

So the fed will have to monetize.

This would weaken the dollar, stonks moon.
Anti-milkshake?

Nearly every corporation is doing same thing - taking on debt, buying back stonk- here is $UNH Image
$LOW Image
$AAPL Image
$GE is an interesting study - they are paying DOWN debt AND retiring shares....this might be set to explode higher next earnings.... ImageImage
$WMT is doing it Image
$TGT is doing it Image
But heres the problem - Trump had the best intentions when he cut corporate taxes; He then imposed HI import tarrifs on china - the idea - coerce corporations to invest domestically.

Make imports EXPENSIVE

Instead?

Corporations took the money and ran... Image
So now re-consider the "dollar will weaken" - ok - all these corps took on trillions in debt combined to buy back stonk.

They have to pay that back.

With what......rubles? yen? yuan?

@SantiagoAuFund
@SantiagoAuFund And when u rich the LAST thing you want is a tax event - aka selling shares.

Its MUCH better to just borrow against them.

Stonk buybacks make what you hold "more marginable" - aka - you can write ++loan against them.

This works so long as stonk goes up.

This is my cat.

This is a financial thread.

"Oz - then why are you leading with a picture of your cat?"

Cause her belief system is exactly like that of the USD and the US government - she thinks she is the center of the universe and everything revolves around her...

πŸ‘‡πŸ§΅ Image
Oil going up in price is deflationary - if people are spending all their money on fuel, they arent buying anything else.

But US is an oil producer - the biggest oil producer on the planet right now actually....and everyone - especially europe - needs it.
After poot invaded ukraine, US set in motion price controls + money printing to fight that deflationary force.

It was a plan that biden and G7 hoped would end the war quickly, starve russia of revenue, and G7 would come out on top.

Last night was interesting - the planners used the cover of trumps election to rebalance global currencies.

Here is the vix.
πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡ Image
Heres foreign oil producing currencies - on this chart purple line going up?
It means foreign currencies got STRONGER.

But heres the deal - ya, they produce oil, but thats not the only trade that goes on.

And the g7 planners need to keep some level of parity to otther currenciesImage
Thats the Euro-pee; notice that move

They weakened the F out of their currency.

For the Euro-P to weaken like this one of 2 things need to happen:
1) Someone bought a f tone of euro-pee debt
or
2) They printed a F ton of money Image

Another currency thread.

Say you own some sparkly.

If you go to the local market the sparkly has a known value.

Say the local value is 100 schmeckels.
πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
But one day you decide to travel to country Zenoblob.

In Zenoblob that sparkly is HIGHLY desired.

You can break of just a tiny bit of the sparkly and with it you can exchange that tiny bit for the best restaurants, the best transportation, the best hotels and still have a lot of sparkly left over.
You go home thinking you are a genius so you start looking for more sparkly.

You find another chunk of sparkly and this year you try the same thing again.

These are all g7 currencies.
The planners decided to weaken vs the price of oil.

Read another way? It means USD got stronger.

So EUR, JPY, CHF all got weaker vs USD.....

πŸ‘‡πŸ§΅ Image
at the same time here they are vs Saud.
They are all weaker vs the Saudi oil currency too...

So weaker vs USD, and weaker vs Saudi Image
Thick purple line - they all sold US debt. Image

Lets talk about sdr's

(special drawing rights)

As of July 31, 2024, U.S. SDR Holdings were SDR 126.8 billion.

πŸ‘‡πŸ§΅ home.treasury.gov/system/files/2…
In July 2024, Treasury, through the ESF, purchased
SDR 400 million from Ukraine in exchange for approximately $530 million.

Note that this wasnt reported in any newspaper.
home.treasury.gov/system/files/2…
The treasury sold 10B of SDR's to the FED.
The fed is legally obligated to buy them.
The fed gets 10B in SDR's ...the treasury gets 10B in USD

The 10B is immediately usable by the treasury for any govt spending. No congressional approval needed. Image
