November 3rd, 2022 | What Went Up Must Come Down
Juggling Dynamite - Yesterday, Fed chair Jerome Powell reiterated his commitment to combating inflation (lagging indicator) at the expense of economic growth, employment and asset prices (leading indicator). Stocks didn’t like the message. In an abrupt reversal, every market sector tumbled into the close, with 474 of S&P 500 members ending in the red. There’s a point of […]

Juggling Dynamite - Canadian monthly home sales in September were -32% year-over-year and 12% below the pre-pandemic 10-year average for September (chart below since 2007 courtesy of Martin Pelletier). October sales appear to have been worse. Many who bought properties during the 2020-2022 frenzy are now underwater in terms of resale value. Others refinanced existing properties to extract equity […]

October 26th, 2022 | Bank of Canada Blinks, Stocks Should Next
Juggling Dynamite - Too loose for too long, central banks have responded to lagging inflationary pressures in 2022 with the sharpest six-month tightening cycle on record.

Juggling Dynamite - The US National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI), designed to gauge market conditions, fell to 38 in October from 46 in September, now 50% lower than it was six months ago (below 50 is considered negative), and the largest year over year decline in history.

October 18th, 2022 | Record Tightening Priced into Treasuries, Equities Not Yet
Juggling Dynamite - As shown below, since 1999, courtesy of The Daily Shot, the US 10-year minus 2-year Treasury bond yield spread at -.52 last week was the most negative since the onset of the 2001-02 and 2007-09 US recessions. An imminent recession is also predicted by Bloomberg probability models that now forecast a 100% likelihood of a US […]
October 17th, 2022 | Marketplace Looks at Canadian Mortgage Fraud

October 11th, 2022 | Self-Dealing is Rampant and We Keep Paying For It
Juggling Dynamite - Self-dealing is when a fiduciary acts in their own best interest in a transaction. It is text-book corruption and apparently widespread among government and regulatory representatives on the left and the right. Undermining objectively determined policies and the rule of law is indefensible and socially destructive, so why do we tolerate it? See Government officials invest in companies […]
October 10th, 2022 | Tech Leading Lower
Juggling Dynamite - Technology shares led overall markets higher from 2020 through 2021 as government hand-outs, low-interest rates, and spare time enabled both a retail spending boom and a gambling frenzy in financial markets. From the March 20, 2020, COVID crash lows of 6,879, the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index broke through 10,000 by July 2020 (not 3 months […]
October 6th, 2022 | Remember, USD Love is Cyclical Not Permanent

September 27th, 2022 | Housing Bubble Deflating

September 26th, 2022 | Private Equity Losses Not Yet Booked
Juggling Dynamite - Public pensions have reported a median -7.9% for the fiscal year ended June 30–their biggest loss since 2009 (data published in The Wall Street Journal).

September 23rd, 2022 | ‘Snow-Washing’ in Canada, Money Laundering All Star
Juggling Dynamite - I have long thought that a housing bust and ugly recession might finally catalyze a serious crackdown on money laundering in Canada.

Realty reports show that many properties bought in early 2022 are […]
