Best and worst calls
Focus on AI, gold, energy, and transports.
Concentrate on sectors that have underlying demand regardless of the macro bipolarity, such as AI infrastructure, gold, energy stocks (which are buying back stock), and Dow transports, because they are less affected by the extreme market structure and macro volatility.

Expect sovereign bond yields to rise ("blow out"), implying lower bond prices, as governments may engineer crises to suppress economic activity and create bond demand.
TLT MED Apr 10, 17:48
"With sovereign bond yields about to blow out, are lockdowns their way to try to suppress the economy and raise demand for bonds?"

Expects MARA stock to decline further as the distressed miner is forced to liquidate its remaining Bitcoin holdings at a loss, creating selling pressure.
MARA HIGH Apr 10, 17:12
"It's only a matter of time before $MARA pukes the rest of their Bitcoin. New lows on the stock will probably help get them to do it."

The divergence between software stocks and Bitcoin has historically been a bearish signal for crypto, and the author expects BTC to follow software lower rather than decouple.
BTC HIGH Apr 10, 13:57
"We will soon find out if software is once again telling us something or if BTC (and the broader market for that matter) are decoupling. I believe the former."

Expect bond prices to decline (yields to rise) because inflation is structurally problematic and set to worsen in the coming months.
TLT HIGH Apr 10, 13:01
"I think bonds are saying they don't really care that this inflation print was 'better than expectations' because 1) it's still not good and 2) the next few months are going to be even worse."

The author implies the current software/Bitcoin divergence will lead to downside for Bitcoin, as it has consistently been a bearish signal over the past year.
BTC MED Apr 09, 19:53
"Looking forward to having @Tyler_Neville_ explain to me why today's software/Bitcoin divergence is bullish crypto when every time this has happened in the last year+ it has been bearish."

Geopolitical delays in reopening the Strait of Hormuz will continue to exert downward pressure on the broader equity market due to sustained risk and carrying costs.

Speaker declares "bonds are awful here awful awful awful" and discusses the bear-flattening dynamic. Inflation from oil and supply chain surcharges is persistent, forcing expectations of restrictive policy for longer. This pushes short-term yields up more than long-term (bear flattening), hurting total return. Bonds are an unattractive asset class as the market prices in sustained inflation and no near-term relief from the Fed. A severe credit event or recession that triggers a flight to safety and bull steepening.

Speaker highlights the ratio of Dow Transports to QQQ, noting it is at a historic low comparable to 2000, and states "this line should mean revert to the upside." Capital is rotating from tech into "real things" needed for the economy. Rising manufacturing PMIs and industrial metals support increased economic activity benefiting transports. The sector is set for potential mean reversion and outperformance versus tech, making it a key area to monitor for long opportunities. A deep economic slowdown that crushes industrial activity and freight demand.

Speaker explicitly loaded up on front-dated oil contracts based on the thesis the Iran-Israel war is not ending imminently. Oil is stuck in an "inflationary corridor" (~$100-$110) where prices fuel CPI increases but haven't yet crushed demand. Supply response is muted due to suppressed price signals and hedging. The setup favors being long, especially in the front of the curve, as geopolitical and structural factors support higher prices. A sudden geopolitical de-escalation or a policy-driven release of strategic reserves.
