ALL LONG TO ALL SHORT
Well that took a turn for the worst today, and today is a wake up call for all of those passive index and account holders who think that being penny wise isn't pound foolish and saving 1% is about to get exposed. After decades of being lulled to sleep by the BTFD all in all long only central bank driven 5x balance sheet bonanza, nature and the bond market for that matter tend to force the narrative with such brute strength that its almost unimaginable. From massive bond inflows to an outright global panic, January is going out with a bang and we look forward to Sunday night when China reopens their markets, well that is "if" they reopen. Anyway two of my favorite global macro guys posted great charts today, the first is from Jim Bianco, and is the US 30Y Treasury which once again broke below 2%:

The next chart is from Tavi Costa at Crescat and this chart is truly scary, but I have to say, I've been waiting over a decade for such a candle stick on the monthly and bygone, I suppose patience is a virtue, because today we got it!

We have always said time is more valuable than money and a chart like this should send shivers down the spine of any late to the party investors riding this central bank driven wave. A lot of trust has been put into pouring more and more debt onto an already weakened global trust system. Just think all of this on top of nearly $2 Trillion dollars worth of Repo over the last 2 months, damn outright shocking if you ask me, but more evidence of the stunningly misconception that the central banks have with reality:

The funny thing about debt is that the more you have of it the less your actual organic asset is worth, it just takes a long time for people to realize it. We can only suspect Gold and Bitcoin will continue to be lifted as more and more distrust comes circling around. We are certain the central banks will look to calm fears and say they will do whatever it takes, but in reality the only tool they have funnels right into widening the income disparity and concentrating wealth so tightly that the mere act of intervention is deemed quite impotent to the overall general public. Have a good weekend!
