PremiumEducational purposes only: if the bear market continues, one tool Im keeping available is bear vertical spreads. I dont want to go straight short the market, and buying high valuation is a no for me. So bear call spread might be worth a shot while waiting for bullish opportunities.
If you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Dont be that guy. have many tools to choose from to trade different scenarios and opportunities.
Stock indices are mostly flat today but the shiny white metal rockets up 5% plus today? what gives? is the BOJ raising rates to 50bps from 25bps, or is it the dollar weakness that is making silver shine?
Momentum buyers bring the stocks up to the moon, and the value buyer wait for the bubble to burst to pick up the pieces. the gap in between those 2 groups is the nasty part. There will be a crowd of unhappy trapped longs for many quarters and sometimes years until TSLA grows into its prices and puts up more growth to entice the value buyers.

Commodities are hard assets and are trustless. The geo political climate has made commerce more difficult. Russia conflict, China supply issues, USA raising the cost of funding, the world is de-globalizing at the moment. Silver is tangible, credit is a promise that requires trust. As credit and trust are stalling temporarily, businesses will find it difficult to grow.
stock market is pricing in close to 20 PE currently which is roughly a 5% earnings yield, while bonds are paying close to that. next years expectations are still that we see a rise of as much as 10% higher earnings. If we instead slow down earnings growth, the market may be too expensive. SPX SPY IWF QQQ DIA

financialized markets all move together in times of liquidity panics. Thats why we must pay attention when we hear of certain market going wild in large percentage moves.

In last 20 years, apple stock has 'bottomed' out at earning yields in the 6-10% range. However, in the past it was a smaller company with a high growth rate potential. Current earnings yields on apple are in the 4% range and now its a near 3 trillion dollar company. I dont know if thats an apples to apples comparison ;) NASDAQ:AAPL QQQ MSFT
