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.

Currency fiddling.
Pegs.
Making your currency artificially weaker -

This is all great when you are attempting to game the system.

Until one day it blows up in your face.

👇🧵 Image
I have an open quiz, go ahead and take it before moving forward - cause its important to understand the game....
So what happened to TWD?

well, the game is "make our currency weaker so we can export more"

This has been going on a long time - they arent the only ones doing this.

Its wednesday.

Lets break your brain again.

This is a currency thread.
🧵👇
This is complex, so clear your mind, get some coffee and relax.

You are in charge of a country call it "MyCountry" with a currency called "Denaro's"

In the past you invested heavily to build your factories and vities to make things as efficient (read low cost) as possible.
Now you want to increase trade.

What do you do?

You weaken your currency - now, your products compared to the world are cheaper than anywhere else.

Your orders explode.

If i didnt leave america when i did I would have never understood the global trading system or currencies.

You benefit from my knowledge as I share what I have learned.

This is more of that.

This is a currency thread.
👇🧵


Globalization has been a disaster for the american worker.

Globalization has ONLY been enabled thru currency manipulation by US trading parterners to create an inequitable trading balance, which puts massive downward pressure on US wages and jobs.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/spee…
Yes, your shoes and clothes cost a little less - but the people in US who used to produce those products are now "public charges" and a burden on the American social system.

Not everyone can "learn to code" or be doctors or engineers.

Many honest folks just want to clock in, make money, and go home.

So i was thinking - "man, the euro sure did change in value quite rapidly. EU cant afford to buy back that debt like that....this was an external state actor....

I wonder who that could be?"

To explain, if you earn USD and you live in EU?

Life right now sucks.
🧵👇 Image
if you are a europee and you wanna go vacation?

The world is your oyster....especially asia.

You can buy a LOT in asia.

Currencies are pairs, or ratios.

2nd chart EURVND is inverted - again proving my oint, currencies are pairs.

You get nearly 30000 vnd for 1 of your europees.Image
Image
But i wonder "who the fuck dumped EUR debt to do this". Either the ECB bought back debt (they cant) or someone international said "Fuck this im out"

Something happened March 4th that spooked the EU bond market.

Probably rate cuts. Image

This is the vix.

👇🧵 Image
The vix is a MAJOR component of the EU$ system.

This is the formula for the EU$.

I have to invert the vix for you to see the correlation clearly.

(FX:USDJPY-1/CAPITALCOM:OIL_CRUDE*2)/FX_IDC:USDGBP/(FX_IDC:USDEUR*0.576)/(TVC:VIX*0.000001)/24000000 Image
The EU$ is made up of oil, interest rates, currencies and volatility.

Every single component of the EU$ is actively managed by central banks.

Here is the vix, vs SPY, vs the formula (green)

2nd chart zoomed in.

My EU$ formula models the market with greater than an r2 of .96 Image

The US is going to ban Chinese ADR's.
Its coming.

Trump needs more leverage, and this will be part of that leverage.

In prior administration he already started the process...he's going to cut china off from US capital markets completely.
🧵👇 Image
What the hell is an adr?
sec.gov/investor/alert…
You can easily find them in finviz.com
just go to filter and select ADR
