Rethinking the Dollar

#EuropeanUnion governments will launch later this week a large-scale simulation of #cyberattacks against multiple member states. Participants will be confronted with attacks on their #supplychains and some spillover socio-economic effects in other member states, before having to coordinate public communications and diplomatic response.

The Bloomberg Commodity Index rose 27% in 2021, its best year in decades. Gold & silver sit at the crossroads of four of today’s biggest investment themes. Investors are concerned and trying to navigate their portfolios around inflation, the China contagion, energy & the Great Reset.

Chinese #realestate developer #Evergrande announced Monday that it was once again suspending trading its shares in Hong Kong.  With roughly $300 billion (around €265 billion) in liabilities, Evergrande has struggled to repay #bondholders and investors; its stock lost almost 90% of its value last year.

This year will be full of events to be concerned about, but the most important will be the global fiat currencies going up in flames from inflation. 

Inflation is expected to continue to climb and the idea of price controls has been floated by a Keynesian economist. Price controls have never worked in the past and will not work in the future. Expect more business closing and the start of a black market in the USA real soon.  

In the upcoming year, the economy might enter into “slugflation” (sluggish growth, sustained inflation) with debt burdens and housing shortages. During this episode of the M&M Show, we touch on why that might be the case or worse. 

The global debt pile now exceeds $300tn - three times GDP - that burdens the world. The problem is that debt ultimately has to be repaid or, more likely, rolled over. The modern financial cycle gyrates with the tempo of debt maturities.

A renewed dose of QE, or a ‘Powell Put’, seems the inevitable remedy for the next stock market sell-off. Future growth of global liquidity has seemingly become institutionalized by these debt burdens. Unless the spiral is broken by higher interest rates, global liquidity will ultimately be bound higher. Asset allocation has been put on a potentially self-destructive autopilot that ignores sensible investment criteria.

CEOs and corporate insiders are dumping stock at a far faster rate than we've seen in recent years, and the twist is, they're ramping up selling as their own companies engage in record stock buybacks.   In November, insiders unloaded a collective $15.59 billion - an all-time record...
