The End of the Bubble in EVERYTHING (deel 1en 2/3)

‘Het einde van de bubbel in…àlles!’ Mike Maloney praat met Chris Martenson over de wereldeconomie. De titel van de driedelige video zegt al veel over de inhoud. Bubbels, zeepbellen en ballonnen. Overal in de economie, en die zullen allemaal doorprikt worden. Aldus beide heren. Maloney als fervente goldbug en Martenson is een economisch onderzoeker, schrijver en trendvoorspeller, vooral geïnteresseerd in macrotrends met betrekking tot de economie, energie en het milieu. Hier zijn alvast de eerste twee delen:

Don’t miss the next oil (stocks) super cycle

More often than not, investors make things to complicated. They can’t wait to buy when the price is high and they avoid EVERYTHING that’s cheap. We saw this with gold and silver stocks and we see this again today, oil.

The price of oil had one of his biggest bear markets in history. Oil plunged from around $110 until around $25, a level not seen in decades. Meanwhile the price of oil recovered, made higher highs and higher lows. So normally you should react in a way like this:

Inderdaad, de strategen van RBS roepen ons op om onze volledige portefeuille te liquideren en enkel nog superveilige obligaties en Treasuries in portefeuille op te nemen.

Een dergelijke boodschap verkoopt natuurlijk als zoete broodjes wanneer de markten fors lager gaan. Alle media sprongen erop, en RBS kwam weer mooi in het nieuws.

Of course, the conformist counter-contrarian punditry, for example the FT's Alphaville, promptly said this was a non-issue and was purely due to some completely irrelevant microarbing of a few basis points in FDIC penalty surcharges, which as we explained extensively over the past 3 years, has nothing at all to do with the actual motive of hoarding Fed reserves by offshore (or onshore) banks, and which has EVERYTHING to do with accumulating billions in "dry powder" reserves to use for risk-purchasing purposes (alas understanding that would require grasping that reserves are perfectly valid collateral to use as margin against purchase of such market moving products as e-mini futures, which in turn explains why traders usually don't end up as journos).
