    I read SLV has warned of limited availability of physical silver. iShares Silver Trust may not be able to buy enough silver to fully back their newly issued shares temporarily. Any thoughts as to how this may make investment is SLV riskier above the usual risk of price changes in physical silver? I have SLV in my Rollover 401K and in a taxable account. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter.

    Real Vision Exchange Survey Week 7/2021: Results

    HOWARD MARKS & JOEL GREENBLATT: IS IT DIFFERENT THIS TIME?
    Marks contends that the current investor optimism is largely a man-made artifact of monetary policy in order to stave off an economic recession. Greenblatt argues that mega-cap tech stocks like Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft are reasonably valued despite their remarkable price appreciation. Marks and Greenblatt agree that the Fed’s promise to keep rates low for many years is a true gamechanger in the valuation of assets, and they discuss whether high inflation could change this. Lastly, Marks …

    Real Vision Exchange Survey 07/2021
    Make sure to vote in this week's @Real Vision Exchange survey. The bullishness on equities and Bitcoin from last week is currently paying off nicely. Of course the Exchange is still ahead but the Bot was at least able to overtake the S&P again. I made a change to the survey. Because of the confusion with currencies I removed the EURUSD from the universe and instead added Commodities. I got a lot of requests to include them, as the asset class was clearly not represented.

    Make sure to vote in this week's @Real Vision Exchange survey. Last week's de-risking in sentiment in the survey allowed the Real Vision Bot, which is based on the pure interview sentiment, to catch up a bit initially (he was more risk on - long S&P). However his large VIX allocation soon destroyed his early profits. Meanwhile the Exchange performed very well due to the spike in Bitcoin, where participants kept their exposure more or less unchanged (they moved out of equities but kept Bitco…

    Real Vision Exchange Survey Week 4/2021: Results
    Here are last week's @Real Vision Exchange survey results. Bitcoin sentiment came down a lot and overall it looks like the survey is catching a breath. The portfolio holds its main positions but switched off some of the tiny bets in currencies.  If you are looking to do your own analysis with the numbers on the Bot's dashboard, you can download the values in each chart as a csv by clicking the little gear box that's at the top right of each chart.

    BTC: Bullish continuation pattern OR bearish double-top?
    OK hive community / all technical charting experts. This is BTC on a daily chart. Is this a classic symmetrical triangle - indicating a bullish continuation pattern after consolidation?  OR is this a bearish 'double top', indicating trend exhaustion?  Thanks in advance for your opinions!

    Moar Vol and VIX with Jason Buck and Ben Eifert
    Jason Buck and Tyler Pearson have been talking to a handful of Volatility traders on RV.  Jason recently interviewed Ben Eifert who has amassed quite a following on twitter and also runs a fund called QVR.  Their conversation is quite a sandwich (24 pages or 1h16 min of podcast) but fun quite insightful. Since the topic of Vol is quite complicated and filled with jargon so I used Otter.ai to make a transcript of the interview. The transcript is like 95 ish % correct, so the spelling can be of…

    Shorting the Russell 2000 (IWM) via a bear put ladder spread (August expiry)
    * SHORT Russell 2000 (IWM) via an August Bear put ladder spread going long the 220 put contract and short the 185 and 180 put contracts for a debit of $5.20. * Hold duration until August expiration or IWM reaching 185. * Max profit is 29.80.  Breakeven is at 214.80.  R/R = 5.73 * I suspect August is more than enough time for the Russell to have at least a 12-15% correction after such a strong run.  Even Jeremy Grantham believes this is a bubble and should pop by late spring to summer.

    EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT INFLATION
    @Steven Van Metre interviews Michael Ashton, founder of Enduring Investments. Ashton thinks that the Consumer Price Index is an imperfect metric but is nevertheless an optimal way to measure inflation. He argues that the extraordinary growth in money stock (induced by the Federal Reserve) will indeed augur inflation. Van Metre contends that various deflationary forces, namely the decrease in the velocity of money, will stop inflation in its tracks and could in fact bring deflation. CLICK TO WA…

    Delusional Mania leading to a Train Wreck?
    Looking over at 25 years of Russell 2000 history, the magnitude and timing of the current move up from the March 2020 bottom is unparalleled.  I've identified all the big moves with minimal to no pullbacks, and none of them have moved up so sharply and quickly.  You can see the percentage rise and number of days for each move.  Interestingly, each of those moves was followed by a minimum 4-6 month decline (either a correction or an official bear market).  And as we can see it took several more …

    So Raoul has recently talked about the risks of a new lockdown once Biden gets into office. But I've also heard people say how it will be hard to convince red states to do this. How does federal vs state powers work in this situation in the US (I'm from Australia so am not as familiar with US system as most)? Can Biden force republican states to lock down?
