A Game-Changing Crash . . . .

[bucket]

Gold having a volatile week on virus and commodity fallout . . . . Gold prices down $90 per oz since Monday rocket highs. Gold is now in a tug-a-war between fear-stuck investors and immense commodity deflationary pressures.

Fallout in crude is pressuring the loonie. Weekly WTI shows key support around $44 per barrel, but this is a moving target given geo-political tensions could arise.

Fuel prices haven't moved nor have any inputs to the farm...

Wonder which country will get the 1st bail in with a substantial haircut off all savings? Negative rates coming very soon or will it be helicopter money? Yippeee! Gold back to 1630usd flat for a week ohhh the humanity. Gold getting dragged down a little by margin calls from general equity investors as the titanic begins to sink.

Next week could be a buy opportunity a big buy opportunity. Any one who figured pull all stocks a week ago when it went way up and Parker that cash can come in next week and double down again.

I repeat the USA is not faltering.


Canada is and we have zero leadership

That’s should be the title.

Oh and the Toronto stock exchange performed where on the world oh yea almost dead last.

U.S. Treasury yields tumbling . . . 2-year treasuries now 0.99% this morning. VIX volatility index now rocketing as high as when Lehman Bros went belly-up.

And yet the months go by of doom posts, and the stock market keeps going up. One of these days you're bound to be right, but you don't have to be an analyst for that. Can i say i've been reading these posts for years now, and you've always been wrong? Terrible thing to say - but that is what has happened.

Yup..

Lets put some actual numbers to Saskfarmer's claims. The Dow is down 12.9% since its all time high on Feb 17th. The TSX is off about 6.7% since its all time high on Feb 2oth. Keep drinking the koolaid Saskfarmer!

According to a disease expert from Harvard the US is way behind on testing for the corona virus. In all likely hood they already have lots of cases but don't know because they are not testing enough for it.

But according to Trump the virus is proabably not affecting the US.

[errolanderson]

VIX volatility index is exploding this week . . . now approaching levels not seen since the Lehman Bros collapse in 2008. Complacent investors have left the market . . . .

We can look back now and see the U.S. stock market was a bubble. Apple almost doubled in a year. Major stocks just don't do that.

In farm related news, the local rags here had land for rent ads in them here in central AB. You will have to go back many years for the last time that happened in this area. Landlords have to treat their still paying tenants very good this spring. Memo to FCC: land prices ain't going up no more.

Dow Jones was up 28.9% in 2019 and the TSX was only up 19% in 2019, so no doubt the Dow had further to come back down.

They do when capital is fleeing the economic quagmire that is rest of the world right now, and trying to buy anything denominated in USD to avoid being wiped out in their own currency due to inflation, taxes, or outright confiscation. The world is bigger than just your own backyard.

The US stock market was way overvalued. Many stocks had share values that weren’t grounded in actual values of the companies.

When the only reason people invest in a stock is because it keeps going up you know that it is a house of cards.

Just like 2008 2009 we will have to ride this out.

The US will suffer as well. Every economy is integrated so if the rest of the world is a quagmire the US will be in trouble.

Dow Jones was up 28.9% in 2019 and the TSX was only up 19% in 2019, so no doubt the Dow had further to come back down.

When Trump beat Clinton for the presidency the Dow was under 18,000. CNN and Lefties told us the Dow would be destroyed.

For 2020 the top Democrat contender is Bernie Sanders who is a socialist.

how convenient to blame all these problem on the corona virus! The overall system started to hemorage way before that the were just waiting to blame it on something else.
