Lions and friends, there is a BIG safety/fear trade going on.
Looks like this Russia/Ukraine “crisis” is worsening- and yes, it will be prolonged. There is already talk as to IF this will go on beyond Ukraine and that is getting the market rattled.
Commodities are surging, crude is skyrocketing, and the specter of MUCH higher inflation is also hitting the market.
The volatility in this market does not surprise me, nor should it surprise you, I covered this at the start of 2022 as one of my top 5 trends. I also explained that we would see extreme volatility in cryptos this year and much higher food and energy prices- I had NO IDEA of the mechanism, but here we are.
I would say BRACE FOR ALL THIS TO GET WORSE.
Stay hedged, that is be in both risk-on and risk-off assets simultaneously.
I would suggest, if you have not already, get some exposure to commodities- I have suggested ticker PDBC, also oil and gas producers- posted to my website TradersChoice.net and if you are so inclined, defense contractors, LMT, NOC.

Greg, I listened to you and PDBC is up 15%. Thanks !
Isn't it amazing that all of a sudden we hear nothing about the Clintons or Hunter Biden
