That's the whole point of their bond buying programs. Inflation is what will bust this equity rally. The market sensing inflation is coming will bring rates higher, which will drive bonds lower. During that crash the yield on the 10 yr note briefly hit 1.536% that's about where people who manage a lot of money start to hit the panic button and things get disorderly. The bond market hasn't been this disorderly since the pandemic lows. The Fed has to be panicking. They're only option left is to buy bonds like there's no tomorrow. As you can see. Moves in interest rates like this are highly undesirable for the Fed. So what you're saying is turn off the computer and go cry in the corner at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be aware of the macro environment. The bond market is a leading indicator and should be monitored closely during times like these. Basically, three points I would emphasize 1 - Have stop losses in place b/c the market will crash 2 - Whatever the fed says, there's no way around inflation 3 - When the crash happens buy the &^@# out of Gold and Bitcoin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancaster Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Cashed out almost all my positions.... took major beatings.... from reaching almost 40% to my retirement.... so now back to just 12% there. SPAC bubble bursting, GME throwing a wrench into the market, bitcoin/crypto providing some unknown factors, plus the usual Feds/interest rates/seasonality/etc. At times like think I wish I could just drink my troubles away.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoreanHockeyFan Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) I've been a bear for way too long, but I've learned a lot about how markets work and just macroeconomics in general. Missed out on a lot of gains, but happy I was following the markets really closely these past 2 years - learned a lot.

It's already happening with all commodities. Aside from bitcoin and gold I'll probably be investing in producers such as oil (which is already severely beat down but oil could hit $100 again..anything is possible).

Who knows, the Fed could press their bond buying button or the dip buyers could step in big time. I'm short this market, but I'm getting prepared for the possibility of seeing red.

nuckin_futz Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Cathie Wood Funds Whipsawed Amid Record Outflows, Rate Spike Sam Potter Wed, February 24, 2021, 1:12 PM Cathie Wood Funds Whipsawed Amid Record Outflows, Rate Spike (Bloomberg) -- Cathie Wood’s main exchange-traded funds whipsawed on Wednesday as bond yields surged anew and data showed investors pulled a record amount of cash from the firm during this week’s tech selloff. In a very volatile session, the flagship ARK Innovation ETF (ticker ARKK) closed lower, following its worst two-day rout since September. The fund’s been battered by the rapid increase in Treasury yields, which have caused investors to think twice about the priciest corners of the stock market. Both the ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (ARKG) and the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW) ended in the green, but away from session highs. Tesla Inc., Wood’s biggest bet at her firm Ark Investment Management, climbed after a four-day selloff. Bitcoin, another favorite, also gained while still trading below $50,000. The moves followed data this morning showing investors withdrew an unprecedented $465 million from ARKK on Monday, as well as $202 million from ARKG and $119 million from ARKW -- each a record amount. Worryingly for Wood, there could be worse to come given the one-day delay in reporting flow data. On Tuesday, ARKK more than doubled its trading volume record set just a day earlier. For now, the outflows are a fraction of Ark’s ETF assets under management, which as of last week amounted to more than $60 billion. Wood told Bloomberg Radio on Tuesday she welcomed the correction, and that she was using it to buy more shares of Tesla. “Assets in ARKK have ballooned in size in 2021 as some momentum investors chased the ETF higher,” said Todd Rosenbluth, CFRA Research’s director of ETF research. “Such demand can and often shrinks when losses are incurred. However, even with the outflows the fund remains far larger than it was at year-end, let alone a year ago.” ARKK’s assets dropped by about $3 billion from the end of last week to $25.2 billion, the data show. After its stellar run of inflows and triple-digit returns in 2020, bearish bets have been mounting in the ETF. Short interest has risen to the highest on record, at more than 3% of the available shares in the fund, according to data from IHS Markit Ltd.
