Crude is going down.

Treasury Bonds are going up.

BUY BONDS NOW

 

 

This first chart is Crude Oil going back about 50 years. It does jump around…does have big upside moves, usually Middle East conflict inspired…but then inevitably kind of settles down as producers and users (both BIG businesses) get the kinks figured out… whatever the geopolitical stimulus might be… and prices go back to “normal.” The truth is, only about 20% of the world’s oil actually passes through the Straits of Hormuz and I’m thinking that the past six months have easily given the big players plenty of time to adjust to the current reality…and that we have reached the point that, regardless of any further wartime escalation, Crude Oil prices have probably fully accounted for the shipping disruptions that are now make almost daily headlines…With this in mind, I view it as highly possible prices have seen their highs…and will now be working their way back down to where they were before this whole useless mess of a war got started.

 

 

High inflation, as defined by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), is the enemy of the Bond market…And yes, it has been elevated but I think that is about to change…for the good…And it will be VERY bullish for Treasury Bonds

 

What is THE big headline today? Diesel!!!!! And I do think that prices there have reached a point at which demand either falls sharply, and with it energy prices…OR the high prices of both Diesel and Gasoline DO finally CRUSH the American consumer…and with it the economy…with BOTH of those scenarios, I believe, ultimately being bullish for the Bond market.

Chart: St. Louis Fed

 

I continue to recommend buying the Treasury Bond market here…and also to remind you that the Fed raising short term rates is BULLISH for the Bond market.

 

Here’s the same long term chart I posted a last week…

 

 

This is an option I like here…

 

I know from experience that when it’s time to buy the Bond market, virtually 100% of the opinion out there will be saying exactly the opposite…And I have said and understood this for decades…that there is no other market where the supposed experts (really just sheep-following suits that brokerage houses appoint as “analysts” or “strategists” and assume it just takes knowing a few facts to predict this shit) are so perennially deadass on the wrong side of what is happening. Am I wrong sometimes? Obviously, but some of you reading this are familiar with my opinion in rates going back to 1984 (a major buy) and will know that I AM (or have been) more right about interest rates (in BOTH directions) than just about anybody out there…and while I sure as hell might be wrong now…which can mean losing whatever you invest, I am telling you that, to me, EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SET UP IS SCREAMING BUY…Also to say, this ain’t the cattle market.

 

Don’t just sit there and lap up the nonsense from NYC…and do nothing when you DO know how one-sided all the supposed bank and brokerage house “logic” really is right now.

 

Call me if you want to get on this with me…

 

Thanks,

Bill
