drbubb Posted February 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 ROUBINI forecasts 40% drop... The end of a very rough week for U.S. markets brought a worrying prediction. While one expert warned fallout from the global coronavirus outbreak could be "worse than the financial crisis" of 2008, the economist who correctly predicted that very crisis is now saying the idea of a major global recession "doesn't sound too farfetched." Nouriel Roubini, a New York University business professor and market prognosticator who foretold the housing bubble burst, told Yahoo Finance on Friday to expect "severe" consequences as the coronavirus continues to rattle markets. How severe? He told Der Spiegel it could be worse than investors even believe at this point, predicting "global equities to tank by 30 to 40 percent this year." He said people "prefer to believe in miracles," (not necessarily referencing President Trump's prediction the coronavirus will "disappear ... like a miracle,") and don't realize the "simple math" tells us that realistically, a squeezed Chinese economy will mean downturns around the globe. "This crisis will spill over and result in a disaster," said Roubini. > https://theweek.com/speedreads/899110/stock-markets-are-headed-40-percent-plunge-says-economist-who-predicted-financial-crisis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted March 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 2020 Crash - Complacency Came Before The Fall Everything was ignored and markets and stocks were relentless chased higher into some of the highest market valuations ever. Even the coronavirus was ignored. A dip to buy in January they said. AAPL warning? Let’s ignore it and buy AAPL to new all time highs again. Nothing mattered until it did. Then markets crashed last week. Perhaps not in percentage terms, but in terms of vertical velocity to the downside it was unmatched in history. The fastest 15% correction off of all time highs ever and by far. Worse, months of buyers of stocks and markets at high valuations suddenly found themselves trapped as the bottom fell out inside of a few days: $NYSE, the broader index dropping below the January 2018 highs and closing below the summer 2019 lows now showing an index that has gone nowhere in 2 years and the recent highs being a complete mirage. The big message: It was not different this time. Bears were right.

drbubb Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 MIND THE GAPS ! I will show you one of my favorite gaps right now - and then explain it... First, I need to SET THE TABLE... As you might expect, there is a high degree of correlation between GLD (gold), & TLT (bonds). And even more with LTPZ (Tip Bonds). It is clear in this chart GLD -vs: TLT, LTPZ ... update : $140, -5.00, -3.65%, vs: $140 - 0.0%, $100 - 0.0% Notice that... on Friday, there was a BIG DROP (-3.65%) in GOLD, but not in TLT or LTPZ. this is unusual. and the GAP you see there may be telling us something important. The drop in GLD may be temporary, &/or bond prices maybe be set to drop Q: Perhaps bond prices are finalizing their rise which will lead to a top that won't be revisited for some time to come Sure it could go either way... or maybe the GAP will not fade. Let me tell you how I will play this "narrowing", ie my expectation that the Ratio of GLD-to-LTPZ will narrow Q: Will you go long GLD short LTPZ outright or via options? Valid ideas, (though LTPZ is much less liquid than GLD or TLT.) But I will do something else... SILVER! Or actually, SLV, which is the etf for Silver. I have added it to the chart / update: SLV & GLD, vs: TLT & LTPZ In fact, on Friday near the NY close, I bought $15 Calls on SLV: End-Mar. expiry at $0,77, and Mid-April at $0.91. These are in-the-money Calls with a strike price below the Friday close of $15.53 Previously, back in mid-Dec., : I bought SLV Jan. $15.50 Calls at $0.48 A few weeks later, in three trades, I sold them at an average of $1.59 - for a 231% gain (This is recorded in Real-time comments on my 2020 Tips thread😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted March 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 At current price levels, in this challenging environment...I have become Bearish... and Three Key PH Property stocks have confirmed that view PH Property Stocks Will we see LOWER PH Property PRICES?? The supply of Properties for Sale is going to surge because: 1. Properties still being delivered, and new ones started. Few projects will be stopped. 2. People who are afraid will stop buying, 3. Banks will not finance large final payments, when the what is left to pay is BELOW the realistic marlet value of the property, This will force those who cannot make the last payment to sell 4. Flippers will aim to flip to exit their property speculations, if they can, 5. Chinese buyers, who cannot get back to PH will try to unload what they have bought/ WHERE ARE THE BUYERS who will absorb all this supply? Even if they are there, what price will they be willing to pay now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
