In the previous Shrubstack, we depicted in Meme-format how the Market felt like over the last few weeks: it was as if all the liquidity was getting sucked out of the Market and funnelled into Nvidia.
But “What if?”… someone just turns the taps the other way round… and liquidity flows from Nvidia to the rest of the Market?
Now that Nvidia is no longer “the hottest thing since Tesla in 2021” (and we know that one turned out), maybe … just maybe … the monkeys will start buying other stocks?
For example, the Russell vs the Nasdaq is down c.12% in the space of a few weeks. There’s c.10% upside just to get back to even.
You might argue, justifiably, that the Russell is a collection of crappy companies and not what you really want to own in a slowdown.
So here’s another one: the DOW JONES vs the Nasdaq is also DOWN 11% in the space of a few weeks and also has a c.10% upside just to get back to even.
Even more surprisingly, the Dow Jones vs Nasdaq ratio is back to its … 2000 lows! (ENOUGH WITH THOSE PESKY 2000 PARALLELS ALREADY!) (h/t to my buddy
for showing me this chart).This may sound like wishful thinking. But it’s still a possible scenario to consider.
I guess what I’m trying to say is this:
There’s always something to buy and there’s always something to sell, so keep an open mind…and good luck!
