Идеи
Short WTI; lower highs continue.
Oil is bearish and he is short/selling rallies: the chart has made lower highs on each Iran/war headline, sanctions do not work, there is a glut of oil, and the backwardated front-month fear premium is a sell signal. He expects December WTI to fall below $70 and possibly into the $60s or mid-$50s by year-end.
Avoid banks; stress-test problems.
He believes banks have serious problems and could not pass a legitimate stress test; the Fed/Treasury intervention is trying to get ahead of hidden trouble, similar to 2008 when officials claimed banks were safe. This makes bank equities unattractive/fragile.
Stay long gold; buy pullbacks.
He has been long gold since around $4,000 and expects it to continue higher because Fed/Treasury intervention devalues the dollar and inflationary pressure supports hard assets. After gold's $115 two-day spike, he would not chase and would wait for a pullback for a better entry.
Hold long-term Bitcoin; await pullback.
As a trader, he is selling Bitcoin now because the daily chart is about four standard deviations from the mean, overbought on volume, making a double top against the May high, and this looks like a blow-off top. He expects Bitcoin to be $4,000-$5,000 cheaper at some point before the next conversation.
Short stock market; big selloff beginning.
From a trading standpoint, he is shorting the stock market and looking for short opportunities because he has a downside bias and believes this is the beginning of a 40-60% selloff, with acceleration likely after Labor Day. He sells extended rallies and only buys oversold bounces.
Grains are cheap; upside remains.
Grain markets are seeing positive momentum and are still ridiculously cheap relative to production costs; diesel and hydrous ammonia are near record highs, and at roughly $5 corn farmers are only starting to be profitable, so grains can keep moving higher.
Cattle still has downside room.
Cattle has dropped about 20% from its highs, and he thinks there is still a lot of room to the downside as falling cattle and hog prices make poultry relatively better; the cattle market remains under pressure.
Silver has biggest short-term upside.
Silver probably has the most short-term upside because it has not moved like gold, was cut roughly in half and is still down about 44% from its all-time high, and money flow should rotate into silver as the 'poor man's gold'.
