I agree, cryptos have a potential Black Swan event when central
banks shut down the market. Can't verify this but, I read
that 80% of mining and transactions for cryptos are being done in
China (using coal fired electrical generation). Risk that few
consider?
Extreme bubble warning when you hear talk about getting into
mining by inexperienced speculators?
Rising inflation should translate into rising interest rates so
there might be an initial spike in commodities in the panic trade
but, rising rates after the last 40 years of declining rates
is something the (all) markets will find painful to digest.
Bill Gates investment in productive farm land the best hedge
going.
My UPS driver just bragged about how he's killing it in LINK and
VET and putting ALL his money into crypto. Ummmm, ok...let me know
how that works out but at the moment those guys (and my kids) are
KICKING MY ASS!!!! FOMO is making me wanna puke!
That is a great example of the "shoeshine boy" indicator.
If you don't know about it, Joe Kennedy got out of the stock
market in 1928 because as he said (and I misquote) "when every shoe
shine boy, taxi driver, and doorman has a stock tip, it is time to
get out of the market." While it is probably a terrible
timing tool, it does indicate the party is close to ending. I
had some neophyte friends as me over lunch last week if I was
trading GameStop and if I had any good stock tips. Of course
I told them to stick to their plan if they had one.
