What Comes Next?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Some investors are clearly getting out of the Fed-generated “herd” trades of recent years... where next?

 

 

This year has seen various uber-leveraged hot-money trades unwind... the commodities trade ended in Q1 (and rotated to US equities), EM debt/equity trade ended in Q2 (and rotated to US equities), and HY Credit ended in July (and rotated to US equities)... so now that we are on the cusp of the End of QE, is the US equity market "there is no alternative" trade the last man standing to be unwound?

Yep, ZIRP is still a "let them eat cake" monetary experiment however.  Looks to me like the bankers are daring their political puppets to try and fix the structural problems one more time...

...let's see what they do...

You have the choice to try and fight with and against the money changers - or you can try just honest work.

Or in other words: Tell me with whom you are dealing with - and I'm going to tell you who you are and how you will end.

Or: birds of a feather flock together.

Sharks dealing with sharks deserve what they get.

This is purely central banks propping this all up knowing full well any sizable downturn now leads to a total collapse of credit. They have proven over and over that they can put this eventual normalization off for some time by their central planning hft machines.

You know what comes next - fear overtakes greed in the US equity markets and the last, greatest bubble has it's last dance - US treasuries.  This likely goes on for years, with the market oscillating violently from SPX 2000ish to SPX 1000ish (obviously subject to change, policy changes, etc.), and then comes the real problem: the USD loses reserve currency status.

I like gold at these levels. Check out the goudprijs grafiek and see for yourself the potential when gold starts moving up again.
