K-wave: The Master Bubble

By
May 31, 2009

All the last two years I’m writing about Kondratieff wave on the regular basis, and as a former scientist I’m trying to abstract from any particular economy as if K-wave just happens every time and everywhere with equal force. But it simply doesn’t work that way and again, as a former scientist I want...

Actionable The Sugar High

By
May 31, 2009

In addition to a housing overshoot, the sugar high market is going to have to deal with a commercial real estate financing crisis over the duration of 2009 when $178 billion in maturities come due. This is against the backdrop of a CMBS market that has not put forth even one new issue in...

To Little Effect- Available for Viewing

By
May 30, 2009

The is now increasing evidence that an overshoot is developing in housing, with the main thrust coming in higher end prime mortgages. In February the Government came up with programs to spend $75 billion on incentives for mortgage servicing companies that reduce payments for troubled homeowners. The Treasury Department said the program will...

Actionable What Now?

By
May 28, 2009

Margin data for April was released and showed only a small increase. This suggests to me that the rally (at least in April) was driven more by a combination of too much sidelined money,  and short covering, not releveraging.  This in turn suggests that any correction when it comes may not have the liquidation,...

Decision Delayed, Not Denied- Professional Edition

By
May 27, 2009

Wednesday’s late downturn was dramatic, but didn’t accomplish anything technically. The market is still stuck in that same narrow trading range. Cycles are set up in such a way that the churning could continue for weeks. At the same time, there’s still an upside projection of 1000 on the 6 month cycle. Click here...

The Game is Breaking Down- Professional Edition

By
May 27, 2009

The Treasury market got bombed today in what could be turning into a crash. Yields soared in spite of near record levels of demand at today’s auctions. The problem clearly isn’t demand. It’s supply, and that problem will not be going away any time soon. Click here to download complete report in pdf format...

Actionable Hard Data

By
May 27, 2009

The market soared on a survey indicating that consumer confidence has rebounded. The conventional wisdom is getting increasingly delusional. It seems obvious that the economy is going to have to start delivering to accommodate this expectation. Presumably this is function of the stock market rally and green shoots talk.  As for me I am...

Treasury Demand Soars But Yields Rise Anyway- Professional Edition

By
May 26, 2009

Three Treasury auctions saw strong demand. In the case of the 2 year note, the size of the indirect bid could only be characterized as hysterical. In spite of worries that investors and central banks would stop buying Treasuries, the problem, ladies and gentlemen, is not one of demand. Click here to download complete...

Actionable No Green Light

By
May 25, 2009

The correction so far has removed the long overbought status of the market. However, the rally was so one sided and sentiment so strange, that I would have to see a minus 200 reading in the McClellan Oscillator (MO) to even consider recommitting sideline cash to anything. Need a much higher VIX as well....

Long Squeeze – Professional Edition Fed Report

By

Bonds vs Stocks

By
May 21, 2009

Back in 2007 I was writing that during the Kondratieff Spring, Summer and Autumn Treasury bonds and stocks are trading generally in the same direction, with bonds leading. During the Winter they are trading in opposite direction. At this chart the black line is 10 year bond price and red line is S&P. You can...

If These Guys are the Smart Money- Professional Edition

By
May 21, 2009

The more the Fed buys, the more the market offers to sell it because everyone is on the same side of the boat, long and wrong. The Fed is the only buyer in size out there. Unfortunately for the market, the Fed only trades with the Primary Dealers, and they are in desperate shape,...

Actionable Bagholders

By
May 21, 2009

“Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain,” – Napoleon Bonaparte.
Today the Fed came into the Treasury market with less monetization than anticipated. Dealers were left as bagholders resulting in an 16 BP increase in the 10 year T-Note.  Is the Fed being bipolar, or...

Actionable Reliance

By
May 21, 2009

In yesterday’s podcast I advanced the notion that the “credit crisis” has indeed abated. The reason has been a heavy reliance on the Government and the Fed for backstops, guarantees and very low cost loans at the expense of the Gente. To me it is unclear exactly what this has restored confidence in?  However,...

Actionable A Flood of Stock

By
May 20, 2009

It stands to reason that a good bull trap will linger around just long enough to ensnare plenty of carrion.  That is my rationale for distributing my stock in stages, and generally avoiding short selling. At times I have written about understanding one’s personality and compulsions.  If you are a new reader, this effort...
