Altcoin season refers to a period in the cryptocurrency market when alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins), any digital assets besides Bitcoin, significantly outperform Bitcoin in price appreciation and trading volume. This phase is characterized by a surge in capital flowing from Bitcoin into altcoins, leading to rapid, often exponential, gains across a...| JustDario
Navigating a bear market can be daunting, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the signs and strategies to manage your investments during such times. Understanding when a bear market begins, how to trade during its course, and which assets to hold can make a significant difference in protecting your portfolio and...| JustDario
Even if blessed with superpowers, in particular, the one of printing infinite money, the Federal Reserve is ultimately a “Bank” and like every superhero has a weak spot like Kryptonite for Superman. Being a “Bank”, hence required to remain solvent, is paradoxically the #FED’s weakness. Let me explain: 1 –...| JustDario
Yesterday, I watched the opening of #US #stocks trading in literal disbelief as investors stampeded into $NYCB, sending the stock up 15% at some point. The scene reminded me of the movie “Independence Day”, one of my favorites, when you see people dancing on top of buildings right below the...| JustDario
Between the end of September and the beginning of October 2023, the #MOAB (Mother of All Bubbles) house of cards was dangerously wobbling. In a great coup de theatre, Jerome Burns managed to pull a “FED ghost pivot” 🐇 out of his magic hat, which sent everyone on a #FOMO...| JustDario
There are times when I believe that if there wasn’t a massive cultural and language barrier between #China and the major Western countries, in particular with the #US (while #Germany would love to deal more with #China commercially if they still had the option to do so), both parts of...| JustDario
What a clown show the US market has become. Please forgive me, but I cannot find any better words to describe it. Before the US #CPI came out, I wrote these words: “Once data is out and is within the range of expectations (even if “hot”), algorithms start dumping the...| JustDario
Everyone is familiar with the very large black bulky bag carried around by a U.S. military serviceman who isn’t more than a few steps away from the U.S. president at any time. Soon, a new red button will be added to the “Football”. Nuclear weapons are a deterrent meant not...| JustDario
Dear readers and followers, considering all the material and inspiration provided lately by great corporate barons and myopic regulators, for fairness, I decided to write a brief guide on how to fabricate revenues so everyone can benefit from it, and not only the big corporations that can afford to pay...| JustDario
One month ago, when the LIBRA scandal broke out (“Argentina’s $4.6 Billion Crypto Scandal; Largest-Ever Crypto Theft“), I wrongly assumed that the era of “scam coins” and predatory “pump and dumps” was finally over, considering it was exposed how the whole meme coins casino was actually rigged in favor of...| JustDario
That expectations and dreams today count more than reality is becoming harder and harder to deny, just as it’s becoming harder and harder to deny that companies’ management exclusively focuses on inflating their stock prices as much as possible in the short term, neglecting medium and long-term structural business growth....| JustDario
Yesterday, I spent the evening with a good old friend, now a senior manager in a big financial firm, whom I will label as “Manager X” going forward. I believe some parts of our conversation will be interesting to everyone, my summary below 🙏🏻 1 – Why is there no...| JustDario
The result of the US elections should have rung warning bells everywhere in the world, but apparently, it didn’t. Europe, Canada, Japan, South Korea – the list of economies that persist in feeding asset bubbles is long. The US is still part of it, considering the market is forcing (sorry,...| JustDario
If you think that Nvidia got where it is today because of its fundamental valuations, I am sorry but you might want to revise what “fundamental analysis” stands for. It’s no secret anymore that the company has been using borderline legal accounting shenanigans and commercial practices to report much higher...| JustDario
By now we know that US BLS data are totally unrealistic for anyone who lives in the real world. My goal in this article is to demonstrate how, after 2020, the BLS has been literally making up numbers that go against any law of statistics. First of all, let’s start...| JustDario
All the talk about #crypto as of late has been mostly around #Bitcoin and the #Bitcoin ETF that, like it or not, has been the most successful ETF launch ever. A while ago, I explained what the #Bitcoin ETF meant for the whole #crypto industry (“WHY A BITCOIN ETF WILL...| JustDario
MR. MARKET HAS BEEN FULLY REPLACED BY MR. DERIVATIVES – OH MAMMA MIA!| JustDario
Last week I wrote the provocative, but substantiated, “THIS IS NOT 1987, 2000, 2008 OR 2020, BUT A WHOLE NEW MARKET MONSTER” with the main goal of bringing to everyone’s attention how the current financial market is presented with many “unknown unknowns.” Today it’s worth looking a little deeper in...| JustDario
These days there are a lot of comparisons being made with what happened in previous financial crises that unfolded after times of irrational exuberance and reckless monetary policy, but many are failing to grasp how the current situation is hardly comparable to what happened in the past for many reasons....| JustDario
Just a week ago, people were cheering yet another guru predicting mind-blowing growth for stocks like #NVIDIA (Nvidia’s market cap will soar to $50 trillion—yes, trillion—says early investor in Amazon and Tesla). Then, why were they holding their breath so anxiously when the stock was dangerously heading fast towards the...| JustDario
