drbubb Posted May 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 RELIEF RALLY? Inflation, & Higher Rates have been hitting stock prices ... YTD: Uso: Commodity price inflation is Hanging on so far. But we have come to an important pitch point... Chart update. This week's stock rally was Predictable, In fact I did predict it... a few days ago on a Viber chat, wave4 implies rally. Old 5yr chart above. / UPDATE: Friday's closes were: SPY: 415.26, +2.45%, IWM: 187.64, +2.69%. TNA: 45.53, +8.10% May 13th, I posted the chart above, with the comment: SPY: Last, 5.12: $392.53. DayL: $385"Blast away, Guys! Please tell me why this count is wrong. I actually welcome a debate on this" ( Ultimate Low for SPY was just a little lower at $380- ish, on May 20th. IWM low was May12th. ) We still do not know if the wave count will prove itself. The big drop might have started already, and wave 5 might be in place. Looks like it can test likely resistance at $425-430. Only if it easily blasts thru there might we expect to revisit or beat the old highs/ A viber person seeing the SPY chart commented; " ... isn’t any reason for the bullish case." To answer, look at the chart for TYX - interest rates, as updated 5.31.2022, Last: 30.57 +0.85 = 3.057% DISAGREEING there is NO Reason for a Bull case, I noted that: TYX, 30 year rates are down from 3.28% > 2.97%. But USO/Oil ETF continues higher with fresh highs yesterday at $85.52 (=wti crude: $115+.) I don't see how Rates can keep coming down, and the stock rally gather momentum unless we see lower oil. The Bulls will want that, and maybe we will hear some good news from Ukraine on peace talks... which seem overdue.

By last spring, lumber cost more than twice the prepandemic high. Now, two-by-four prices are flashing caution. Lumber futures for July delivery ended Friday at $695.10 per thousand board feet, down 52% from a high in early March. On-the-spot wood prices have plunged, too. Pricing service Random Lengths said Friday that its framing composite index, which tracks cash sales, fell about 12% last week to end at $794. That is down from $1,334 in March, just before the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time since 2018. The Fed raised rates again this month and is expected to continue to lift borrowing costs to slow consumption and tame inflation. The housing market is expected to shoulder the load. The central bank is pursuing an interest rate that will slow the surge in home prices by trimming the number of buyers without triggering a painful economic slowdown. > https://archive.vn/YYUqh#selection-4189.82-4227.81 *Crude Prices; BRENT has hit $123! : WTI 118.16+3.09+2.69% on 5.30.22 Oil prices rise to their highest levels in 2 months as China loosens its COVID curbs "Markets pricing in peak virus in Beijing and Shanghai are behind the rally in oil prices today," Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst at Oanda, said.

Most people work 40 hours per week, and according to the department of Energy, Americans purchase 40 gallons of gas a week minimum. This means after you pay for gas each week, you bring home roughly $4 an hour. Anyone that makes minimum wage, is only paying for gas, that's it. When everyone voted for Biden because he promised wages of $15 an hour, did you think things like gas would stay at $2 per gallon. You now make less money today than you did 2 years ago, and if you make minimum wage, in another few weeks, you will start to pay to go to work Congratulations, your uneducated vote has lowered your household net income. Broken promises and empty words from Biden and our government is all we hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inflation and Hyperinflation seem inevitable until money has lost so much value that the VALUE of the debt per taxpayer makes some sense again. Will the Dollar go to 1% or 0.1% of Current Real value? Maybe. And how many jobs and companies will disappear as that change happens? TLT / Bonds... All: 10yr: 5yr: 2yr: 1yr: 10d / Last $113.89 near YrL: $112.69 ..

But even if we get a breathing spell, the game is far from over RATIO : TYX / XLE over 5 years! Out of Control DEBT and Money Printing: The reason why the US got away with it for so long is because USD is the worlds reserve currency. Nations everywhere hold USD as a secure asset. So when the US Govt prints trillions it's robbing Americans and the entire world. The biggest theft in history. The problem is that this has been going for decades and there’s now no way to fix it. The reality is that the US has been bankrupt for some time and what’s coming is a nightmare: Mass poverty and a new system of control. Let me explain why this isn’t just doom and gloom talk.Total US debt is at $90 trillion. US unfunded liabilities are at $169 trillion. Combined that’s $778,000 per US citizen or $2,067,000 per US tax payer 🤯 Remember, the only way the US Government can operate now is by printing more money. Which means hyperinflation is inevitable. The total value of ALL companies listed on the US stock market is $53 trillion. The real value is much lower because the US has been printing trillions to provide interest free loans to investment banks to pump up the stock market. It’s a scam. Most of the $53 trillion is air. > https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1533524778610348032.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted June 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Why Food Inflation Is Only Getting Started Take a look at this: The US has just experienced an 8.8% increase in food prices. The problem (and there are many, actually) is that this doesn’t take into account the spiraling costs farmers are now experiencing. It’s worth remembering that because farmers pay upfront and only recoup their expenses at the point of sale/harvest months later, all the opex they’ve experienced has a lag. This lag is dependent on produce but certainly, we’re looking at a tsunami of food inflation 12 to 18 months out. Then there is the fuel and fertilizer. You’ll hopefully recall our bullish call on both fuel and fertilizer in order to play the entire food cost explosion that is now kicking off. Fuel and fertilizer together are the two largest input costs to farmers, typically exceeding in aggregate 50% of their total costs. Here’s diesel: Then we have fertilizer, itself a by-product of natural gas: Fertilizer has tripled and in some cases quadrupled. What are governments doing to “fix” this? Playing with interest rates. How cute! Sticking with supply-side economics… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
