High Yield: A Losing Proposition
Take a look at this chart and then ask yourself what happens when folks wake to the reality that inflation is transitory in the same way as tofu is tasty?
Suddenly, that capital seeks inflation protection, that’s what.
No Love For Commodities
Now, where could that capital seek a safe haven? Hint…

To get a better sense of just how out of whack the market really is, it pays to take a step back and truly put things into perspective.
The run we’ve seen so far is far from over. We remain convinced it’s just getting started. Or we’re wrong, and we’re in for some wonderful exponential age of never ending prosperity brought to us by insanely overvalued tech companies and bond markets.

But just to give you some context of where we are in the cycle, here’s a long-term chart of the uranium ETF (URA) (hat tip to @NautilusCap for the chart). Side note: the ETF listing nicely coincided with the previous market top in uranium.
So hold on, folks. The best is yet to come.

The below chart comes from Jared Dillian (@dailydirtnap). Over in the UK, food is flying off the shelves. It’s not much different in the US.

But seriously, all investments carry risk. Some of what I discuss arguably carries great risk. Investments which can lead to you losing 100% of your capital and maybe more if you are stupid and use margin.If you invest more than you can afford to lose, or borrow money from Joey down at the tavern, Master Card or Visa to make your investments, then you need to go and read a different website.
