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.

In normal functioning markets, disruption SHOULD cause a decline in equities.

But the fed will never allow that.

Every able bodied american should take out student loans rn.

The government will forgive these loans indefinitely.

Take the MAX

Its free money
Here are the loan limits

Remember - they already gun forgive 10k

at least take THAT much.

Its FREE money! Image
To apply - you want federal student loans, none of that private stuff.

You apply to a low cost university/collage, and any money left over is YOURS free and clear, up to $10,000 - this is how much Biden will forgive.

So what really happened today during this massive upset to $DXY

Lets dive in

Theres always a reason

And it is always related to currency operations
👇🧵
look at that chart REALLY close. JPYCAD moved bigly.
USDCHF and USDJPY and USDCAD....

wtf...why?

B/C japan bought canadian bonds and us bonds, thats why.

notice the yields on CA30 and US30.

jPan did that.

Prolly bought CH30 too
jPan plays currency games with canada - to crush oil (canada is a major oil producer)

Here oil (white) is inverted
Notice how usdcad moves invert oil? ...or did?

Thats japan - jpycad how you can see it

#SWAP ALERT Image
This market is so broken i dont even know where to start.

Literally if you were trading, looked away for 1 sec, scratched your butt or anything - you got screwed unless you were somekind of delta neutral

Currencies are just short cuts for bonds.

In a normal world, its usually the 30y that drives currency.

And it makes sense, right?

Higher interest rates draws foreign capital...

Well, something interesting is going on - last 2 wk have been nuts.
🧵👇
So im intersted in currencies cuz if you followed me for any length of time, the market is driven by currencies.

Well, im wrong - its driven by bonds which drive currencies, but same diff

Currencies are driven NORMALLY by 30y
But opposing currencies can effect other currencies
Here vs cad - just so u can see - pay attn to peaks and vallies... this just a reference for now....nothing important

#OPTIONS
#STRADDLE
Some strategies and their setup

today is straddle

🧵👇
Some terms:

This is a straddle set up

you lose if stonk stays in 9 range
win if 8 or 10

1) Probability of profit (POP)
2) Extrinsic value (EXT)
3) 50% profit
4) Delta
5) Theta
6) Max profit
7) Max loss

Cost to set up 147$

December strike
Every day this set up will lose theta (5) if you are a buyer, and gain in value if you are a seller

In the straddle above, you are a buyer on both sides, so you are risking loss

The higher the IV the faster the change.

And the closer to expiration the faster the change
