[https://www.wsj.com/finance/wall-street-builds-new-tool-to-bet-against-private-credit-bdf8bafa](https://www.wsj.com/finance/wall-street-builds-new-tool-to-bet-against-private-credit-bdf8bafa) A report just dropped that should have everyone be more cautious. Major banks (Goldman, BofA, Barclays) are teaming up with S&P Global to launch a Credit-Default Swap (CDS) Index for Private Credit. If you aren't familiar with 2008 history, this is essentially the "Big Short" alarm bell. Here’s the breakdown of why this is a massive red flag while the market is sitting at ATHs. 1. A CDS Index is basically a giant insurance policy that lets big players bet on a massive wave of company defaults. They don't build these tools when things are "healthy." They build them when they see blood in the water. Right now, private credit (loans to mid-sized companies) is starting to rot under the "higher for longer" interest rates. 2. Yesterday, Carlyle’s private credit fund got hit with a 15.7% redemption request. That’s more than 3x their normal limit. People are panicking and trying to get their cash out, and the fund is already moving to restrict withdrawals. 3. While CNBC is telling you to FOMO into the AI pump, the banks are quietly setting up the infrastructure to profit when the bottom falls out. It’s the classic 2007 move: pump the stock market to retail at the top while buying your own parachutes (the CDS index) behind the scenes. 4. When banks start trading "bets" against loans instead of making the loans themselves, liquidity dries up. The companies that power the "real" economy are about to get squeezed. With monthly inflation hitting 0.9% and energy costs exploding due to the Middle East mess, these companies can't survive a credit freeze. Don't even want to talk about the war in Iran that is likely going to have boots on the ground soon as the ceasefire negotiations are not going well at all and Trump is obviously losing his mind on Truth Social. There's an oil shortage and this should hit the market once reserves run out 1-2months. **TLDR:** They are pumping the market to retail right now so they can dump their bags and flip the switch on the "shorting machine" once the credit defaults start hitting. History (2008) says once the vultures build the index, the crash isn't far behind. Not trying to doom and gloom. Just be cautious. *Not financial advice. Just following the money.*
Hi all, I've been investing for about 10 years, but buying individual stocks for only about 5 years. During my investing career so far, I've found that big tech stocks that have taken disproportionate hits to their stock price were my best opportunities. If a tech stock has a great business that prints cash with good YoY growth and forward PE, but lost value due to uncertainty or other external factors, I identified those as the best buying opportunity. My personal experience was as follows. I had $150k in VOO in October 2022. After seeing the META stock crash to below $100, I sold my VOO and fully ported into META. Sold my META stock early December 2024 for around $600. This allowed me to 6x my money to $900k. After taking out some money for the taxman and some home renovation, I moved the remaining $750k to VOO once again. My second opportunity came during the April 2025 dip. When Google dipped to under $150, I sold my VOO at around 10% loss and loaded up my entire portfolio with Google stock worth around $660k. Now I'm on my third opportunity. After I waited enough to make sure that my Google sale would be taxed as long term capital gains, I sold my entire Google portfolio at around $315 and moved almost my full port of $1.1MM to Microsoft at $370. I'm expecting another 50% gain from this play in the next 2 years. If a company has a great business, huge moat, and good revenue growth, but is beaten down by external factors, there seems to be great opportunities to make it out like bandits. There are a lot of tech companies out there, but I'd never touch something like ADBE with a ten foot pole. I worked in the tech sector all my life, and I won't invest in a product I don't believe in. You have to 1) Identify a pool of tech companies in which you have very high conviction as to the viability and growth of their business. Tech is the current stock market trend, and volatility plays in your favor if you find a good entry point. I honestly prefer companies above 50B market cap, instead of small to mid cap stocks. 2) Wait for the right buying opportunity. For example I also considered buying NFLX when WB acquisition talks dropped their share price to below $80. But I ultimately decided not to buy it as I would have to pay short term cap gains tax on my Google sales, and the price of WB was indeed a bit too high for what was on offer. 3) Invest as much as your portfolio as possible, depending on your risk appetite. I don't buy a stock that I wouldn't be happy to hold for 3-5 years. 4) Take your gains/losses when market presents you with a better opportunity for making money. Opportunity cost is a real. 5) Don't buy high and sell low. Seriously. Don't buy individual stocks at ATHs. Keep your money in an index fund until there is a sufficiently attractive investment opportunity. If that means waiting a year or two holding VOO, that's fine. 6) Don't use options. Your thesis might be right, but timing could be wrong, thus theta decay can melt your money like butter. You can write some covered options for extra money, but personally I didn't want to take the assignment risk for any of the stocks I had. 7) Don't risk your retirement savings. You'll need that when you're old. I do all my trading on my taxable accounts, and my 401k/IRA are just broad market index funds. This seems to be the best way I've found to make money from individual stocks, instead of just buying VOO with every paycheck and chilling.
Alright folks, let’s talk about the elephant in the Strait. This morning’s CPI print came in hot at **3.3% annualized**, and I’ve already seen five threads calling for Powell’s head and two more asking if we’re back to the Volcker era. Calm down. Let’s do the forensic accounting. That jump from February’s 2.4% is basically the geopolitical middle finger from Tehran showing up at your local Shell station. It’s an energy tax, plain and simple. The rest of the basket? Core is softer than consensus theater. But here’s the nuance the bots missed and the algos are fumbling: **The Ceasefire Mirage.** They announced a ceasefire Tuesday. The market ripped the face off short sellers. WTI vomited 16%-the biggest single-session bloodbath since the COVID crash of April 2020. But let’s look at the satellite data and ship transponders, because I’m that kind of nerd. Traffic through Hormuz is still a ghost town for VLCCs. We’re seeing bulk carriers and container ships tiptoe through, but the big oily boys? They’re holding patterns off Fujairah, waiting to see if Iran’s Parliament Speaker is bluffing when he calls the truce "unreasonable." Spoiler: Day 2 of a 2-week pause and we’re already arguing over three broken conditions. The premium on dated Brent versus paper is telling you this isn't fixed. **The Week in Context (A “Where’s My Dry Powder” Recap):** * **The Rip:** Wednesday was a generational face-ripper. Dow +2.85%. Best day since April '25. It felt like 2021 again-Nvidia, Meta, Tesla, AMD all up 4-10% just because the selling stopped. * **The Whipsaw:** We dropped crude 16% Wednesday only to see it kiss $100/bbl again Thursday. That’s not a market; that’s a seismograph during an earthquake. * **The Streak:** Seven straight green days on the S&P (6,824 close). Longest since October. This is a rally built on the *hope* of peace, not the *logistics* of it. Classic trader trap. **The Fed’s Purgatory:** Powell is in a cage match with a wet paper bag. May rate cut odds? 98% priced for a hold. The guy *cannot* hike into an exogenous energy shock-that’s how you cause a depression for no reason. He also *cannot* cut when the headline number flashes 3.3%. He has to sit on his hands and write speeches about "transitory" shocks while using the softer core to justify doing absolutely nothing. The Fed pivot is dead. Long live the Fed pause. **Earnings on Deck: The Real Stress Test** Next week we stop trading on headlines and start trading on spreadsheets. **GS kicks it off Monday.** Then JPM, WFC, Citi, and BLK. This is the first real look at the consumer’s liver function. Is the premium cabin at Delta (up 12% on earnings, shoutout to the high-end traveler who DGAF about gas prices) the real economy? Or is the deterioration in Main Street lending going to show up in Jamie Dimon’s commentary? **The Analyst’s Verdict:** The tape is choppy because the narrative is fractured. You have a technical rally running headfirst into a structural energy risk that didn't actually resolve. I’m watching VLCC rates and forward oil curves more than I'm watching my own portfolio PnL right now. If those tankers don't move south by Tuesday close, this entire 7-day rally is just a lease, not a purchase. *Not financial advice just trying to trade a market that’s pricing in peace while the tankers are still parked.*
As I write this we are in a sizable crash of about 37% down from the high last September on the IGV tech-software index fund. I believe the bear narrative of AI disruption does have some weight to it and should be a real fear for these companies but with the current valuations I just don't see it. Some of these forward P/E's of these companies vs their 5 year averages: ADBE 11X vs 5 year average of 32X CRM 18X vs 5 year average of 45X NOW 18X vs 5 year average of 58X INTU 22X vs 5 year average of 42X If you have a longer time horizon it's hard to imagine a world where these don't all become great investments. They may get "rerated" to lower P/Es over time due to additional risks in their business models but even with that there is great value here. Not here to call a bottom or anything their could be even more downside ahead but that's the risk you have to take. As always do your own research.
Stocks opened slightly higher after CPI came in right on expectations, giving markets their first read on consumer prices since the Iran conflict began. Headline inflation ticked up to 3.3% YoY (from 2.4%), and core rose to 2.6% YoY, but the “in‑line” print helped keep risk appetite intact. Trrose, while crude eased and the dollar remained dollar stayed on track for a weekly loss. With news flow slowing into the weekend, traders seem to be shifting into a wait‑and‑see stance ahead of Saturday’s ceasefire talks in Pakistan. **Curious how others are positioning:** * Does an in‑line CPI print change anything for near‑term risk exposure? * Are you treating the geopolitical backdrop as noise or a real macro input? * How are you thinking about yields grinding higher into Q2?
