In this latest stock market bubble, there were dozens of mid & large cap companies trading at over 10x revenues. Many unprofitable businesses even garnered over 6x Price/Sales ratios at...
The current level of euphoria and speculation on Wall Street is likely to go down in history in the same way that the misplaced optimism of speculators in 1929 was immortalized by the tremendous crash and ensuing depression. The current dynamics at play are more similar to that period than most realize. Many potential catalysts for the Global Financial Crisis...
The current rollover in the market, featuring a clear double top with negative RSI divergence, is remarkably similar to the February 2020 & August-September 2008 rollovers. My opinion is that the current rollover will resolve with a large move to the downside in similar fashion to the aforementioned time periods.

In a severe economic contraction with unemployment above 10% and interest rates above 5% ( mortgage rates above 8%) puts the S&P's probable trough multiple below 10.

Bearish copper due too global economic slowdown and technical analysis.
I'm expecting a retest of the covid-lows by the end of the year due to technical indicators and macro factors, such as: Inflation, rising interest rates, tensions with china, and recession. Volatility is likely to increase throughout the remainder of the year.
I'm with Dr. Burry on this on. This financial crisis will really hit the banks.
I am expecting economical-sensitive investments like banks to crash to far lower levels than they reached in march 2020 due to even worse economic circumstances ( Contraction + Inflation entrenched)
Junior gold miners should outperform Gold and rise over 400% over a period of 2ish years with 3k+ Gold in 2024
With 2 year treasury rates targeting 9%+, bond prices will continue collapsing until de facto Yield Curve Control is implemented by the FED. Fed balance sheet will expand to over 40T over the next 5 years.
Expecting a flood of money into precious metals that takes Silver over $250 within 5-6 years. The crashing bond market and raging inflation will spur huge inflows over the coming months and years. Huge Cup and Handle that began in 1971 will play out over the course of this decade.

Expecting a drop of 65%-70% from peak to trough in the S&P500 over the next 2 years.
