A Generational Stock Market High, December 2024
Useful post, thank you. Just one small caveat: while the market may have peaked toward the end of Biden’s presidency, the S&P 500 actually hit its all-time high on February 18, 2025, reaching 6,130.00. That’s exactly 30 days after his last day in office on January 19. Having studied the market on a technical level over a long period of time, I’ve often noticed patterns like this that involve exact round numbers or time intervals, whether it’s a high occurring exactly 30 days after a key date, or market drops that are precisely 10%, 20%, or 30% from their previous peaks. Many people write these off as coincidences, but in my view, they often aren’t. These kinds of precise movements can be the result of behind-the-scenes manipulation by market makers, which only highlights just how much the markets can be rigged or engineered in subtle ways. You’ve built a strong and compelling case for why this could indeed be another generational high. Only hindsight will tell. That said, even if it doesn’t turn out to be, I think there’s a strong chance we’re heading into a “lost decade” instead. That seems like the more probable outcome to me. A lost decade typically means the market moves sideways for an extended period, rising and falling in ways that give the illusion of multiple bear and bull markets, but never truly exceeding the previous high for 10 years or more. We’ve seen this before, such as during the Dot-Com Bubble and Financial Crisis (2000–2010), and during the period of stagflation and economic turbulence from 1965 to 1983. Given everything you mentioned: tariffs, inflation, deficits, rising US sovereign debt, and the real possibility of China surpassing the US as the world’s largest economy, I think the stage is set for something like that to happen now again. -

China Is Selling Dollars And Treasuries To Buy Euros And Bunds
Well, for one thing, there's a question about whether the USA usually is a net producer or net importer of gold. From Chatgpt U.S. Gold Consumption vs. Production Consumption: In 2023, the U.S. consumed approximately 250 metric tons of gold. Statista Production: In the same year, the U.S. produced about 160 metric tons of gold. Statista This indicates a shortfall of around 90 metric tons, meaning the U.S. consumed significantly more gold than it mined domestically. So wherever they're putting their money, not likely to be American gold. The same goes for silver Yes, the United States consumes more silver than it produces, relying significantly on imports and recycling to meet its demand. U.S. Silver Production and Consumption Mine Production: In 2024, U.S. mines produced approximately 1,000 metric tons of silver, primarily as a byproduct from base and precious metal mining operations. Refined Silver Output: U.S. refiners reported a total output of 2,400 metric tons of commercial-grade silver in 2024. This figure includes silver recovered from both domestic and foreign ores, concentrates, and recycled materials. U.S. Geological Survey+2U.S. Geological Survey+2U.S. Geological Survey+2 Apparent Consumption: While the exact consumption figure for 2024 isn't specified, historical data indicates that the U.S. consistently consumes more silver than it produces. For instance, in 2022, the net import reliance was 69% of apparent consumption, highlighting a significant dependency on foreign sources. U.S. Geological Survey Recently, the US has been a been a huge net importer. Most likely out of fear of tariffs..So, no, it's unlikely that they are buying gold and silver from the US. America’s appetite for gold is ‘sucking’ bullion out of other countries https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/28/us-gold-demand-is-sucking-bullion-out-of-other-countries.html -
