Doug Ramsey, the chief investment officer at Leuthold Group, is one of those that is sounding the alarm.  Unlike price to earnings ratios, price to sales ratios are very hard to manipulate, and he has pointed out that price to sales ratios are higher than we have ever witnessed before.

In particular, when you look at the median stock price to sales ratio, it is the highest that it has ever been and it is twice as high as it was in February 2000

He also shared a chart which he claims is “unfit for a family-friendly publication” that shows how in terms of median price to sales ratio, the S&P 500 is twice as expensive as it was in 2000.

“Overvaluation in 2000 was highly concentrated; today it is pervasive, with the median S&P 500 Price/Sales ratio of 2.63 times more than double the 1.23 times prevailing in February 2000.

To me, that number is absolutely stunning, and it shows that we have a long, long way to fall.

As I have said before, stock prices need to fall by 40 or 50 percent just to get into a neighborhood where they will begin to make sense again.

And something else that Ramsey has pointed out is that in 2018 stocks are behaving very much like they did just before the dotcom bubble crashed

. . . 

Another major indicator that is “flashing red” is correlation.

Just prior to the last two stock market crashes, stock prices began to wildly diverge.  While some stocks were still going up, others were cratering big time.  This lack of uniformity is often a sign that big trouble is on the horizon.  The following comes from CNBC

It surprises me that Gold fell below $1200. 

Maybe the Friday drop in EUR was some sort of warning.

EUR vs. Gold etfs ... update :

August can be the cruelest month for Gold - on a seasonal basis.  If this continues much longer with some much Bearish sentiment, I cannot say how low Gold may go.  But it could signal the end of a long bear market since 2011.

Could GLD fall back to $100?  I think we need to ask this now

Kim Dotcom Warns Of Economic Collapse – Says "Buy Gold And Bitcoin"

"Trust me. Buy crypto and gold. Your USD will become worthless.

With US economic collapse all old money currencies will crash. "

 

gettyimages-167514589.jpg?itok=MUhdZ1LJ

Kim Dotcom (Kim Schmitz), a controversial internet pirate and cryptocurrency advocate, recently urged all 736k followers to immediately buy gold and Bitcoin because President Trump is sleepwalking into a tremendous fiscal collision.

“1 TRILLION DOLLARS in additional US Govt debt PER YEAR!” warned Dotcom.

“US spending is funded by lenders who will never get paid. US Empire will collapse followed by a worldwide economic collapse. http://usdebtclock.org,” he added.

Dotcom began the warnings last week, which he said: “Trump was handed an Empire on life support,” and that “Top economists around the world agree that US debt is unsustainable. There is no sugar coating this. US Empire is broke. Prepare for collapse.”

About an hour later on Sunday morning, Dotcom tweeted again at his followers telling them about a simple hedging strategy (buy gold and bitcoin) against a potential economic crisis, which he believes could make the greenback worthless and result into a very “big crash” for markets.

Russell Napier: "Turkey Will Be The Largest EM Default Of All Time"

 

turkey%20total%20debt.jpg?h=81df1304&ito

The loss of hundreds of billions of assets recently considered liquid by global financial institutions, through the de facto debt moratorium of capital controls, will be a huge shock to the global financial system.

Markets have been gripped by fears that Turkey's economic crisis could spill over into the global economy as the lira nosedived to fresh record lows. The country's finance minister attempted to allay investors' concerns by promising to roll out an "action plan" to tackle the crisis but the currency plunged deep into the red when markets opened..

The lira extended its slump to fresh all-time lows. It briefly recovered from its worst intraday levels after the country’s central bank boosted liquidity in Turkish banks by lowering their required cash buffers. It then slipped back down to an 8.5pc loss after president Erdogan's appearance..

==

Regular readers of the Fortnightly will know that The Solid Ground has long forecast a major debt default in Turkey. More specifically, the forecast remains that the country will impose capital controls enforcing a near total loss of US$500bn of credit assets held by the global financial system. That is a large financial hole in a still highly leveraged system. That scale of loss will surpass the scale of loss suffered by the creditors of Bear Stearns and while Lehman’s did have liabilities of US$619bn, it has paid more than US$100bn to its unsecured creditors alone since its bankruptcy.

turkey%20total%20debt.jpg

It is the nature of EM lending that there is little in the way of liquid assets to realize; they are predominantly denominated in a currency different from the liability, and also title has to be pursued through the local legal system. Turkey will almost certainly be the largest EM default of all time, should it resort to capital controls as your analyst expects, but it could also be the largest bankruptcy of all time given the difficulty of its creditors in recovering any assets. So the events of last Friday represent only the end of the beginning for Turkey. The true nature of the scale of its default and the global impacts of that default are very much still to come.

Strong form capital controls produce a de facto debt moratorium, and very rapidly investors realize just how little their credit assets are worth. A de jure debt moratorium at the outbreak of The Great War in 1914 bankrupted almost the entire European banking system - it was saved by mass government intervention. While the imposition of capital controls in recent years has hit selected investors hard, in Iceland, Cyprus, Greece and key emerging markets, there has been nothing of this size and it is to be fully borne by financial institutions who believe they hold not just valuable credit assets but actually liquid credit assets! The loss of hundreds of billions of assets recently considered liquid by global financial institutions, through the de facto debt moratorium of capital controls, will be a huge shock to the global financial system. This is a different type of default and its nature, as well as its magnitude, will blindside financial institutions.

The Shortage of US Dollars, says Martin Armstrong

by Martin Armstrong

Fed-MonetaryBase-8-11-2018-1024x345.jpg

What people have to understand is that the Federal Reserve is moving in the opposite direction with respect to its monetary base. The Adjusted Monetary Base is the sum of currency (including coin) in circulation outside Federal Reserve Banks and the U.S. Treasury, plus deposits held by depository institutions at Federal Reserve Banks. These data are adjusted for the effects of changes in statutory reserve requirements on the quantity of base money held by depositories. This peaked with the Economic Confidence Model turn in 2015 on October 1st. The Fed has been shrinking its balance sheet and believe it or not, there has been growing a SHORTAGE of dollars contrary to those who keep saying the world is awash with dollars so buy gold, cryptocurrencies, or whatever.

I like Silver better here Below $14.50.

t24_ag_en_usoz_2.gif

But how good have my bottom calls been recently?

Too many good set--ups ruined by lower lows.  (not only for me, for many other forecasters too.)

Eventually, an "ideal low" will hold

SLV hit: $13.53, which is well below $14
