It’s officially Black Monday, if only in China for now.We warned on Friday, after last week’s China rout, that the market is getting ahead of itself with its expectation of a RRR-cut by China as large as 100 bps. “The risk is that there isn’t one.” We were spot on, because not only was there no RRR cut, but Chinese […]
Following a volatile end to April, on whose last day many decided to frontrun “selling in May before going away”, the world has taken a breather and overnight China was closed to celebrate May day, unable to celebrate the “beat” of the official Chinese Manufacturing PMI which printed unchanged from last month, at 50.1, goalseeked to beat the consensus expectation […]

Dear Reader,US tech and biotech stocks are in a bubble. I expect a 30% sell off in these two segments of the US stock market within 2015. The main US stock indices to sell off 20% from current levels.EUR/USD to target 0.90 in 2015. Gold to fall to 1050 USD in 2015.European stocks to also sell off 20% from current […]
We hate to spoil the surprise, but the answer, as clearly shown by the first blue bar on the chart below, is Energy, and specifically the ridiculous valuation that energy companies are currently trading at. Why? Because as the following Factset chart shows, the forward P/E of the energy sector is currently 27x – an all time high – and […]
Dear Reader,I still expect US stock markets to fall 20% in 2015 from the current levels measured by the main indices. US tech stocks and biotech stocks are in a bubble and should fall more than 30% from the current levels. Eurozone stocks should fall 20% from the current levels.US treasuries should sell off in 2015. The 10 year yield […]
China growth slashed, more epically dismal US data, lack of clarity from Draghi, slumping oil prices, dropping yields, surging USD… now if that isn’t a recipe for buying US equities at record highs, we don’t know what is…Stocks close unchanged from ECB…And on the day only Trannies closed red (even as oil tumbled) thanks to an aftenoon push higher…On the […]
Despite rate-cut-fest, and crude buying panic, stocks stumbled for the 2nd day in a row…Stocks held steady through the Asia session despite a plethora of rate cuts (and shitty Japanese data) then legged lower on weak EU PMIs only to stumble hard on more misses and weakness in US data… that was followed by the now ubiquitous v-shaped recopvery that […]

US Tech stocks, especially nonpublic venture capital backed, are in a bubble, along with biotech. Both should decline more than 30%.The disruption that the forecasted fall […]
Dear Reader,US stock markets end January 2015 in minus. The correction should exceed 20%, tech and biotech stocks will fall more. EU stocks should finish 2015 in minus as well. Gold should fall with a target of 1050 USD. EUR/USD should touch 1.05 in 2015.Shale oil and gas plays in the US seem a good value play at these levels, […]
