    Oh there will be some hedge funds blowing up for sure.

    But they don’t answer to the Feds/regulators/etc like a bank does, so they can do it. And when they go belly up everyone else moves on with their lives.

    "pension funds are/have been servicing ever increasing margin calls driven by the extreme moves in real and nominal rates. They are on a hunt for liquidity (cash) to service these calls at the same time the liquidity (bid offer spread) of asset markets is extremely fragile. A sub layer to this dynamic is that pension funds are also a significant provider of gilts to the repo market (which they repo out to fund levered investments) and where we are now seeing some strain as these gilts are either withdrawn from repo programmes (to sell, as of yesterday to the BOE) or repo’d out to raise cash to fund said margin calls..."

    January 2022 from that same blog:

    Conclusion Overall we are less worried about EM inflation in 2022, and selectively bullish on EM currencies with strong external accounts or where inflation may soon be peaking.

    4matic that January piece is a bit more opinion than the one I posted... Again just some tidbits being dropped from the outliers...Not the CNBS types.

    Is the stock market going to tank?

    I’ve seen dysfunctional liquidity in bonds and mentioned it here a few times so not disagreeing. It can work the other way too with drop of a hat. 10y went from 3.50>2.50 just last month. Like the 80’s elevated bond and currency vol will probably last a while.

    I still think rates will be lower 5 years from now.

    That’s what the mkt is saying with the inverted yield.

    I still think there could be force liquidation type margin call give them the hook type event that is worth banking on.

    Lower rates years ahead, if true, are good opportunity for managed bond funds because they typically lag.

    None of those affected long term trajectory of rates the past 40 years.

    You will never get the truth out of a Fed chair. I mean, if they tell us the truth the market would have imploded and we would all be living on white bread and polluted water living in a cardboard box, down by the river. Still, we might get there. So, don't give up hope of having a one cardboard box shelter with river views.

    Maybe it’s Credit Suisse that gets it started:

    Citing people familiar with the situation, Reuters reported last week that Credit Suisse was sounding out investors for fresh cash as it attempts a radical overhaul of its investment bank.

    This is the first time stocks and bonds have fallen in tandem for three consecutive quarters since 1976, according to Strategas Research.

    Spiraling losses on Wall Street are now snowballing into forced asset liquidation, according to Bank of America strategists. The NYSE Composite Index, which includes US stocks, depositary receipts and real estate investment trusts, has broken multiple technical support levels including its 200-week moving average, the 14,000 mark. Now, accumulated losses could force funds to sell more assets to raise cash, accelerating the selloff. Similarly grim milestones keep piling up for Chinese stocks listed in Hong Kong. As September draws to an end, the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index has lost 14% to rank as the worst performer among major equity benchmarks globally in September. Hovering around the lowest since the global financial crisis, it is now trading at 0.6 times book value—the cheapest ever.

    They missed on earnings, revenue, and reported diminishing reservations. I made good money selling calls last year on it, I got out of my 100 shares at $22.38 last year. They took on a shit ton of debt during the pandemic, I could see bankruptcy at some point.

    I predict a lot of people who retired during the pandemic on their fat portfolios will be re-entering the job market. Could help ease labor shortages.

    Starting to see some older folks working in the service industries. I doubt these folks had fat portfolios though.

    When you retire, The sequence of returns in you portfolio is the difference between hero and zero.

    I’d wager way too many were over invested in equities, and considering bonds and gold have been hammered, it’s a going to be life wrecking for many who followed the traditional advice of their whore advisors.
