Who Is In Real Trouble….Bulls or Bears?

Daily Chart AFebruary 16 InvestWithAlex

2/16/2016 – An up day with the Dow Jones up 221 points (+1.38%) and the Nasdaq up 98 points (+2.27%) 

Investors are starting to wonder. If the bearish case is indeed correct, can anything be done to save the US Economy/Markets?

A “full default cycle” in the U.S. would trigger a further 20 percent downside European equities, Raedler said, but would also increase the risk of a U.S. recession. He believes that this rising cost of debt for corporates would reduce their spend on investment and hiring. Falling equity prices would also urge people to save and thereby dent consumption growth, he added.

First, its unclear if Deutsche Bank (DB) is talking about saving the overall stock market or begging the FED/ECB to bailout DB. As the company’s stock has collapsed due to various credit and balance sheet concerns.

John Cryan, the chief executive of Deutsche Bank, has described his bank as “rock solid”.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t Lehman Brother’s CEO use a similar expression a few days prior to filing for bankruptcy?

But that wasn’t enough. According to Deutsche Bank most bears are idiots and the FED will have no trouble steering our economy through troubled times.

 “The bears have a problem,” asserted Torsten Sløk, chief international economist at Deutsche Bank, in a research note. “The problem is that the challenges in the energy sector are not spilling over to the broader economy and the macro data is not deteriorating.”

Once again, it appears Deutsche Bank has a problem, not the bears. And in terms of the FED, I would suggest you listen to Jim Rogers: Central Banks Completely Incompetent and not some fool from a mismanaged bank.

Here is the bottom line. There is nothing the FED or anyone else can do to save the US Economy/Markets from an upcoming recession. And while some believe that negative interest rates and another round of QE will save the day, it is nothing but a pipe dream. The imbalances are simply just too great now.

This conclusion is further supported by my mathematical and timing work. It clearly shows a severe bear market between 2015-2017. In fact, when it starts it will very quickly retrace most of the gains accrued over the last few years.  If you would be interested in learning when the bear market of 2015-2017 will start (to the day) and its internal composition, please CLICK HERE.

Big Market Move Is Coming….Are You Ready?

Daily Chart AFebruary 12 InvestWithAlex

2/12/2016 – A positive day with the Dow Jones up 318 points (+2.03%) and the Nasdaq up 71 points (+1.66%)

About two weeks ago I suggested that the market will drive both bulls and bears up the wall going forward. And that appears to be the case here. With bears declaring victory one day, only to be squeezed to death the next. As is the case today. Let’s try to figure out what’s going on.

We have covered the Baltic Dry Index and its recent crash on this blog before. And while various market pundits continue to argue about the possibility of a recession, Baltic Dry has made the whole matter as clear as night and day. That is, after losing 90% of its value in just under two years and hitting historic lows on the daily basis.

Not only are we already in a recession, something much worse might be coming down the pipeline. At least that is what global trade and oil are telling us.

Baltic dry index has crashed

Buy the dip mentality has worked very well between 2009 bottom and 2015 top. Yet, the strategy has proven disastrous since then. Is it ready to make a comeback? Perhaps. At the same time, the market’s technical and fundamental backdrop is indeed very similar to the one we saw in 2008. No one can seriously argue that the market is not overpriced.

So, who is right? 

Well, last week I showed you the chart below.  Suggesting that the market will remain within a certain trading range until the structure below terminates itself in TIME. Hence, the tag of war we are witnessing today. It is only after this structure completes itself, in TIME, that the market will move violently.

Refinance Your Real Estate & Other Loans NOW!!!

Daily Chart AFebruary 11 InvestWithAlex

2/11/2016 – A negative day with the Dow Jones down 255 points (-1.60%) and the Nasdaq down 17 points (-0.39%) 

I typically shy away from giving direct “financial advice”, but this one is a no-brainer. At least based on my long-term mathematical and timing work.

I am executing this “Trade” for myself and I have instructed my entire family to do the same. Most importantly, I believe this “Trade” will allow individuals to do the incredible. That is, to legally loot a bank of your choice. Literally. A truly once in a lifetime opportunity.

Let’s start from the beginning.

  1. Over the last two years I have maintained that we will see a double bottom in the 10-Year Treasury Note. Here is a sample post from last year 10-Year Note: All Systems Are A Go For A Double Bottom
  2. Well, guess what…..we are nearly there. At the chart below shows.

TNX

Whether we still push lower, into a double bottom, perhaps even lower is pointless for the purposes of this post. The time to act is NOW. I would say you have about 1-12 months to get this trade done. And the sooner you do it, the better.

What is this trade? 

  1. We are witnessing a multi-generational bottom in interest rates. Refinance and lock in your loans at a fixed rate and do it now. The longer the duration of the loan the better.
  2. The FED will be forced to inflate away or monetize the dollar or our massive debt.
  3. Most of your fixed loan value (not underlying asset) will be wiped out through inflation. In other words, you will stick it to the bank. Big time.

Why/How?

Here is what will happen over the next 10-20 years. At least based on my mathematical and timing work.

We are are about to go through a major bear market leg. Since the FED is sitting at zero interest rates already, they will be forced to do additional rounds of QE and to even go Interest rate negative. My work suggests that the US Dollar and Interest rates will have none of that. At a certain point.

The US Dollar will decline while Interest rates head higher (market rates). Additional stimulus will finally get inflation going. An inflation that will accelerate over the next 10-15 years. Think in terms of 1966-1982 period of time.

By the time it is all said and done, in about 20 years, your fixed mortgage might be inflated away to the tune of 75-90%. To the point where a $500,000  fixed 30 year loan and $3,000 monthly payment today, might only be worth about $100,000 or $500 monthly in today’s money. The rest of its value will simply vanish.

In other words, you win and banks lose……..for once.

This conclusion is further supported by my mathematical and timing work. It clearly shows a severe bear market between 2015-2017. In fact, when it starts it will very quickly retrace most of the gains accrued over the last few years.  If you would be interested in learning when the bear market of 2015-2017 will start (to the day) and its internal composition, please CLICK HERE.

Financial Media Predicts Armageddon – Time To Go Long?

Daily Chart AFebruary 10 InvestWithAlex2/10/2016 – A mixed day with the Dow Jones down 99 points (-0.62%) and the Nasdaq up 15 points (+0.35%) 

When it comes to investing, sentiment, investor or otherwise, becomes increasingly important. For instance, when we were heavily short in May of 2015, you couldn’t find a bearish point of view if your life dependent on it How We Nailed May 19th, 2015 Top -To The Day. Even permabears like Marc Faber were throwing in the towel at the time.

The situation is entirely reversed today. Open any financial media outlet and you will be hard pressed to find anything positive. So much so that quite a few prominent market “pundits” are calling for an outright financial Armageddon. Soup lines in tow.

And you thought I was a bear. Here is just a small sample from today.

Point being, financial media’s bearish sentiment is overwhelming today. When that happens one of two things develop. We either crash or a big time bounce is just around the corner. I will let you decide what happens next. But you can always Click Here if you would like to know now.

This conclusion is further supported by my mathematical and timing work. It clearly shows a severe bear market between 2015-2017. In fact, when it starts it will very quickly retrace most of the gains accrued over the last few years.  If you would be interested in learning when the bear market of 2015-2017 will start (to the day) and its internal composition, please CLICK HERE.

If The Market Crashes, How Will The ETF’s React?

1-c

It appears I am not the only one who is aware of the ETF liquidity time bomb. I first published this post in September of 2015. If The Market Crashes, How Will The ETF’s React?

David Stockman tends to agree. Mutual Funds, ETFs at Risk of a Run For a different reason, but his concerns lead to the same conclusion. When the next sell-off hits, and it most certainly will, at some point ETF’s liquidity will vanish. Leading to massive gap downs (or worse) we all saw on August 24th, 2015.

Previously published analysis: September 14th, 2015

August 24th gap down (or mini crash) of 1,000 points on the Dow was incredibly important from another angle. It has exposed a weakness in ETF’s that not many were aware of. Still not aware of. An in depth discussion can be found here…..

Wild Trading Exposed Flaws in ETFs

For our purposes and since we follow the Dow so closely, let’s take a look at DIA (chart above). But keep in mind, the analysis below was evident throughout the  stock market and across most financial instruments the morning of August 24th.

The Dow and DIA typically move together (+/- 20 cents). That morning the Dow bottomed 5 minutes into trading at 15,370, while the DIA bottomed at $150.57. That’s a 2% discrepancy or an arbitrage that can be recovered in a matter of minutes.We saw the same on QQQ/NDX and SPY/SPX, plus numerous other ETF’s.

Here is what I am thinking. Should the market crash over the next few months, something that is possible given today’s overvaluation/speculation environment, enterprising investors/traders might want to look at ETF’s to boost up their gains. On both the short side and subsequent reversals.

Who knows, the next discrepancy could be 2-5%, depending on the size and speed of the primary move. That is to say, put this arbitrage on your “To Watch List” and be ready to act if the market is crashing and/or moving fast.

Jim Rogers: It’s Over – Get Ready To Suffer

Daily Chart AFebruary 9 InvestWithAlex

2/9/2016 – Another down day with the Dow Jones down 12 points (-0.07%) and the Nasdaq down 15 points (-0.35%)

An important interview with legendary investor Jim Rogers. If you participate in financial markets  – I highly recommend you watch it. I couldn’t agree more with Jim and there are too many good points  to mention here. Definitely worth 20 minutes of your time. 

This conclusion is further supported by my mathematical and timing work. It clearly shows a severe bear market between 2015-2017. In fact, when it starts it will very quickly retrace most of the gains accrued over the last few years.  If you would be interested in learning when the bear market of 2015-2017 will start (to the day) and its internal composition, please CLICK HERE.

The War Drums Are Growing Louder

skynet tank

I am absolutely astonished by how easy it is for politicians and corporate media to fool smart phone addicted “zombie” populations into believing anything. Case and point…..

Last September I wrote the following….Is Russia About To Annihilate ISIS?

 On a more serious note, if they really go after them, Russia will be able to wipe out ISIS and all associated terrorist parties (American backed “freedom fighters” on Monday and just regular terrorist by Friday) within a few months. That should stabilize the region and stop the humanitarian/refugee disaster we are all witnessing today.

And that is exactly what is happening on the ground as ISIS rats or as Mr. Obama calls them “Freedom Fighters” flee back into Turkey. Thousands flee as Russian-backed offensive threatens to besiege Aleppo

Here is what I find truly astonishing. After destabilizing the entire region, the US, NATO, Turkey and Saudi Arabia blame Russia for what is going on in Syria. What is even more astonishing is that most Americans believe this narrative. Here is the latest.

The bottom line is….. For whatever reasons, Western Powers (NATO Members) are hell bent on starting a war with Russia. Eventually they will get their wish. As was first outlined in this report. Nuclear World War 3 Is Coming Soon.When, How & Why
