That’s why they are called bubbles.

The state is already invested in these companies anywas through the National pension fund I assume. Why double down
Tough day for the markets with bonds and stocks plunging. Draghi disappointed yesterday, basically admitting what they have been doing has failed. Fed threatening to raise rates in Sept. A perfect storm is brewing.
The world is fucked
In many, many ways. Spend away when you can because we’ll be trading in fags soon.
Indeed invest in as many gay people as you can

Buy as much land as you can. Having an acre out the back to allow you grow your own food will be invaluable in a few years.
Guns and ammo as well to keep the maurading zombies at bay.

Quantitative easing was found out slightly today for the spoof that it is.
Government bonds bombed at the whim of of one fella in Brussels…madness.
Just launch the fucking helicopters and get it over with. The last play from central bankers and then we can finally relegate them to the place economists go to die. Bastards.

Hedge funds pulling their money out of DB.
Is Europe about to have it’s Lehman moment?
I can’t imagine the rest of Europe willingly helping the Germans, Draghi would be lynched I’d say if he suggested it.
Saw this posted on twitter the other day - I thought it was fairly informative
How do we make money out of this then?

This is the mother and father of all bubbles, only 1929 comes close. 2000 was essentially only Internet stocks that were at silly levels, it’s every sector now. We’ve had 6 consequetive quarters of declining earnings, never before in history has that not led to a market crash. “This time is different” is only true until it isn’t.
S&P to below 1000 by mid 2017 is my prediction.

Wait for the volatility index to invert from contango to backwardation (Contango goes negative on the attached chart). Buy VXX and hold it until the VIX peaks and starts to decline. Buy XIV when VIX goes back to contango. It’s literally free money, but you have to be nimble.
Nimble as in days hours or minutes?
You need to watch it like a hawk, as it can reverse positions quicker than a TFK poster.
Generally though once VIX goes into backwardation, it stays there for a while. Go back and look at August last year and January this year.
Proceed with caution, a dead cat bounce can wipe you out quickly.
