Dip Before The Melt-Up

I have been warning in anticipation of getting to $6666 SPX:

PROTECT when you can not when you have to!

This just in -

Nomura's McElligott sees massive deleveraging flow risk as leveraged ETF AUM is in the 100%tile, and estimated rebalancing needs for a 1% spot move is sitting at a record of $7 bln.

THIS is exactly what I warned about when I wrote about a rising risk of a QUANT QUAKE just one week ago for September 30th, ahead of likely government shutdown:

If that wasn’t warning enough, then might I introduce…

Goat farmer and 40 cheese awards winner Mark Spitznagel expects the S&P 500 rally to 8,000 and then collapse in a 1929 crash scenario.

Take that with a grain of Fleur de Sel, but even little ‘ol me already posted that a meltup into $7000 then $8200 by year-end would set up a meltdown scenario.

*OPENAI TO BUY $100B OF CHIPS FROM NVIDIA

*NVIDIA INTENDS TO INVEST UP TO $100B IN OPENAI

"... definitely not old enough to have been around trading during the tech bubble and let’s level set, multiples are now where near that point in time. That said, vendor financing was a feature of that era and when when the telecom equipment makers (Cisco, Lucent, Nortel, etc.) extended loans, equity investments, or credit guarantees to their customers who then used the cash/credit to buy back the equipment…well suffice it to say, it did not end well for anyone."

And some are even warning it is unsustainable. Lol

With many more saying they have no idea how to monetize. Yup.
