Right before October 3rd 2022, the Overnight Reverse Repo (RRPONTSYD) spiked rapidly, and then fell on that same day. The market was falling as bond yields were rising, and suddenly it was bought back up from the BoE announcement of their "unlimited bond buying tools" in order to save pension funds. This is just one of many examples that has been reoccurring since they vastly expanded their REPO Market capability's since early 2021.

Well, the RRPONTSYD spiked yet again on the last day of 2022 but more radically. Now the market is falling as bonds are selling off again. In my opinion, bonds will be bought twice as fast and the market will follow...much faster than it did back then. Let's not forget that this is just a "temporary fix". Real liquidity cannot be found anywhere.

Klause Schwab of the World Economic Forum (WEF) has already told us that we will own nothing, eat the bugs and be happy. How else are our overlords going to achieve these goals unless the destroy the stonk market along with what’s left of the eCONomy?

Greg, China and India and other nations are buying up Russia's deeply discounted crude oil from the Arctic. This kind of thing has been going on, it's not new. How will that affect the U.S. and the petrol dollar market? We are a pariah.

Yes just like in the late 1970's through mid 1980's when fed interest rates were 10 to 15% and mmri would have been in 600 to 800 range.

The top holdings for PDBC have changed so much. Couldn't figure out why it has fallen out of favor here. I cashed out end of June/early July and was really grateful to have been in it. Was looking for a consumer staple ETF again. The time is right, me thinks. But now, PDBC is a completely different animal. So, thank you so much - again. So, for all those who noticed the same about silence on this ETF, there were reasons.

they will try and expand broad money so the consumer will spend, possibly through stimi cheques to try and control inflation...thats when u will see deflation appear again and panic will set in the home inventory supply market, spiking into recession. thats after they try to pivot on interest rates. it will be a total mess so they can roll out their cbdc. create an emergency crisis to further their cause adding disinflation into the inflation and deflation mix.

Greg - how would one trade an option that would bet on the 10-year yield increasing?

TLT is probably your best bet. Most liquid in any event.

TLT is 20-year, not 10-year

It's not a trigger for you to buy or sell it's an indicator of which way it the market will move. What, you want the exact info when to buy, sell? Me too, but it's on us to make that decision.

After 3 months of sustained famine, 50-75% of the population is dead. Unless you have guns & ammo to defend your precious metals you are marked for death as well. Canibals have to eat too.

If I had millions I would vault most of it, in various countries. The rest: pay off any debt, stock food/supplies, hold 3 months of expenses in cash, at least.
