Is that a recession on the horizon? (TL;DR @ end)In one of the previous ideas I published, I addressed the rising concerns many people have regarding exchange traded funds, or at least the ones that use various indexes as a benchmark for weighting and distribution. Obviously, linked to this would be the concern of a crash in the whole of the U.S stock market and possibly all western markets (I can't perform an educated judgement on eastern markets as I have limited knowledge in that regard). Unfortunately for the United States economy, the situation has been looking rather dire. There are countless reasons to why I say this, two of which I must mention, are: 1. The inflation rates in the US that have increased to 6.2% according to the consumer price index. 2. The democrats' (likely successful) attempt at raising the debt ceiling for the government to avoid default. Not only are these 2 signs very concerning as far as economic stability but, like every recession prior to date; had stocks trading at the highest levels ever recorded. Which is exactly what is happening right now as you read this. Luckily for bond holders and unfortunately for borrowers, in response to these increased inflation rates, interest rates are also destined to rise. The effect of this was seen today in the US 10 year state bonds ( TVC:US10 ) as they increased by just under half a percentage point in price in 24 hours. This may be a good time to transfer some of your stock holdings into state bonds for the sake of safety, before the potential recession. The other concern is how ludicrously high the market is trading. If you take a look at any of the major public corporations, you will notice that they are trading at earnings multipliers that are astronomical (that's actually an understatement) but despite this fact, many people are still buying stocks at an alarming rate. If you take a sneak peak at the news, you will see a huge portion of traders all 'screaming' "buy more, buy more", regardless of the fact that 90% of stocks and crypto are trading at ludicrous prices and are bound to take some sort of fall at some point in the near future. I am writing this just to put the thought in the back of some of my fellow investors' minds, hopefully might make them re-evaluate their portfolio distribution and possibly have a bit of cash at hand to buy some of the bargains that will come out of the next recession. As usual, other opinions, facts and news are always welcome, stay safe and comment away! TL;DR: There are a couple of signs of a potential recession on the horizon, between overpriced stocks and crypto and people's ludicrous spending in the market. When this recession may occur is not for my prediction but given increased interest rates, I would suggest converting some of your liquid assets to state bonds and/or cash so you can take advantage of the coming bargains.

Is Silver About To Have a Massive Breakout? - 30 USDOn the 4 Hourly we are seeing a massive Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern. I believe that the inflation data by the FED minutes, is going to send Silver to breakout from the downtrend it has been on for some time. Stay tuned for long-targets, as we see this breakout accour. Fundamentals: Mine production from primary silver companies also fell last year, by 3.8%. It, too, is expected to drop by double digits this year. The ten largest silver countries have produced 12% less silver just since 2016. Supplies of recycled silver have fallen by 28% just since 2012.

Im scared.....Since recently it has been no secret that the stock market no longer reflects the state of the economy. In spite of all the global trade disputes, conflict in the middle east, protesting every other week in the west, and an ever more growing amount of people becoming reliant on government aid the S&P has never been higher nor have it gained so much in such a short span of time. With talks of a potential dollar crisis, it is clear to see we "don't deserve" the current prices were seeing in the stock market. What goes up must come down (even if it's for a moment), although I don't know when I'd be expecting a drop to ATLEAST peak covid figures in march. Protect yourselves by saving and if possible find secondary streams of income or safe investments. -Jones

$SPY ~ Why A Crash Won't Surprise MeFirstly: This is not a prediction. I just say what I see. And what I see is, a tentative market top that looks different than all the previous "tops" this year, including the 2020 crash. I will put "top" in quotes because of course, I cannot be sure that is indeed a top until after the fact; obviously. What's different about this "top"? My labelled chart tells all, but in summary: There are very few or very small gaps. A clear gap almost always represents a "shock" in the system. A fall with virtually no gaps, in my view, means a structured, calm, almost rational fall. There is a cluster of red candles meaning this indeed "methodical" selling, also relating to the fact that there are no big gaps Take a look at the 2020 crash, and all mini tops this year (2021). You'll see nothing but choppiness and gaps. Panicking, in other words. Take a look at the 2008 crash: As you can see, virtually no gaps near the top. A structured, "rational" fall, later ending up in a recession. I'm not saying a crash will happen, obviously. But I would not be surprised, and I just say what I see. And what I see is, a "top" that looks different from everything recently before it. Side Note: It also looks the "Smart Money Index" has been on a consistent downtrend since 2018. I don't think this is my strongest point, so I left as a mere side note. Make of it what you will.
