It’s such a funny market.

On one hand, the Bears are getting slaughtered as the Nasdaq is making yet another All-Time High…

NASDAQ

…on the other hand, most Bulls also got slaughtered this week since Breadth was terrible.

The S&P 500 Value component (i.e. the non-Ponzi part of the S&P 500, best depicted by the ETF with ticker: IVE) is down 10 days in a row, the worst streak in History (h/t @barchart).

In fact, IVE has suffered the same drawdown in December as it did during the Yen-pocalypse of August!

So who’s winning?

In a classic case of Reality beating Parody, James Fishback, Head of Macro, introduces Donald Trump to Cathie Wood, Queen of Ponzi, and President Trump tells her: “Congratulations! I heard that you did a great job”.

That’s who’s winning. You didn’t see Trump shaking hands with a short-seller did you? 😂
