Summary
The post warns that the super-rich are selling shares ($1B+ offloaded) ahead of potential risks: an oil scarcity cliff in Aug/Sep, stalled peace talks, persistent energy cost pressure, and a weaker “Fed put.”
The author’s thesis is cautionary — not calling a top, but pointing to murky forward guidance and bond market signals (^move3m) that suggest bonds may rally next week.
Quality assessment: Speculative noise with some macro reasoning, but the core data point ($1B) is heavily challenged by commenters as negligible relative to market size.

This from Bloomberg on 5/28 - thoughts? - ‘Members of the world’s super-rich are electing to take cash off the table as stocks repeatedly test new highs, offloading more than $1 billion of shares in recent weeks.’
Not saying its the top but they usually know before retail - that the August/September physical oil scarcity cliff is not priced into equities, they see the peace negotions are stalled and recognize mango is not going to solve this before sept. They also see that corporate earnings are still holding but forward guidance is getting murky under sustained energy cost pressure and that the fiscal dominance/term premium story means the “Fed put” is structurally weaker than prior cycles - not to mention bonds will go up next week (just look at \^move3m)
not saying sell everything tomorrow but it is looking risky….
Author explicitly states “bonds will go up next week” and references the ^move3m index as supporting evidence. If super-rich are deleveraging equities and moving to cash/bonds, short-term bond prices could rise as a safe-haven flow. A tactical long on longer-dated Treasuries (TLT) to capture a potential near-term risk-off bid. Strong economic data or hawkish Fed commentary could reverse bond gains; the $1B flow is too small to matter.
