Trading Summary Notes for Tuesday, 3/8/22:
What’s new?
Well, COVID is gone………Russia is playing Ukraine in the “War Bowl”………inflation is getting hyper-hot……..uncertainty rules and markets are not fully understanding all the ramifications……..so, as BITCOIN awaits an executive order from President Biden clarifying how BTC should be treated, it dropped under $40K and down over 11% (week on week)……….ETH fared slightly worse dropping down to $2,500 before a slight bounce……….GOLD…….yes GOLD finally got respect and jumped well over $2K……..the old safe haven play worked and GOLD tacked on over 5% (week on week)………the S&P 500 tried several rallies but still sank 3.5% (week on week)…..equities are in a heap of trouble
BAD NEWS IS BAD NEWS. WARS ARE BAD NEWS. WARS DO NOT END IN WEEKS AND TEND TO TAKE UNFORESEEN TWISTS.
NEW BUZZWORD? SHORTAGES.
What to do now?
Financial markets are in chaos……….SELL any and all rallies in the equity markets (S&P 500)….the stronger the rally, the bigger the short…………if you missed the big “pop” in GOLD (I did) don’t chase……..interest rates will (at some point) take GOLD lower….if anything, make it a hold……..I am a staunch believer in BITCOIN……..Buy, Buy Buy………all these disruptions are going to fully validate why BITCOIN is the future and THE store of value………ETH is the tag along….BUY, just less than BITCOIN
U.S. TREASURIES AND GOLD GOT A HUGE BURST IN A FLIGHT TO SAFETY. IT WON’T LAST. U.S. INTEREST RATES ARE GOING UP (BOND PRICES DOWN). INFLATION IS GETTING HOT, HOT HOT. EXPECT INTEREST RATES TO SURPRISE TO THE UPSIDE.
PREPARE FOR PANIC SELLING TO HIT THE MARKETS.
