Nice to get a brief pause from the lashings.

Tad bloody today

Chinese stocks (HSI) compared to SPY. Spy is blue line. Look at that mini trend beginning late December. May not be anything. But thought it was interesting.

Where is the big money going? The narrative around Chinese stocks was so poor in the media….

The money is going to bonds, emerging markets and energy. It almost feels like retail buying the dip on market open the past few days as big money is selling into it.

Do you know what the emerging markets are?

Do you know what the emerging markets are?

Foreign markets like Japan and Europe are considered the safer growth plays at the moment while emerging markets like Brazil, Chile, Thailand, India and Vietnam are the more common plays for high growth with at least some stability.

China is super risky IMO but they aren’t The zero Covid policy can’t last forever, immunity levels are really low and at some point covid is going to have to rip through the country. More than likely that will be right after the next “election” when most think will be China’s off-ramp to zero Covid. Then you have some major default issues in real estate and the rotation away from growth and risky tech stocks that is the Chinese equity market. Then debt and inflation are problematic there as well.

Bonds are on a hell of a rip lately and a ton of money is flowing that direction.

Things really tanked just before dawn today. I’m not in crypto really but this seems like a nice entry point.

Supposedly Robinhood shut off the sell button on Netflix in afterhours yesterday. It was buy only.

How do they keep getting away with doing stuff like this?

BTC has double top pattern set up in long term charts. If the neck breaks it’s running to $19k and likely really fast. No guarantee it stops there. Sure looks like the bubble may be finally popping across the market.

I think Robinhood is just a nasty arm of Apex clearing house. Lots brokers are under Apex. Apex is now fighting tooth and nail to stop letting some of their brokers let their investors direct register shares of certain stocks through ComputerShare.

Two likely reasons are 1) they don’t actually have enough shares or 2) they make money off lending away your shares for shorting. Especially your IRA shares.

Which is interesting….as they would have a fiduciary obligation to act in the best interest of their investors…all while undermining their own clients investments.

There is so much of a mess out there. It’s almost impossible to know where to start.

Futures quite red.

Edit: Nevermind, was looking at Friday’s numbers instead of futures by mistake. Yay, Green. For now.

We’ve had the Ukraine crisis in the stock market bingo cards for awhile now.
