    Why We Are at the Major Late-Stage Bubble, Possibly the Biggest in History

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 08:31 AM PST

    Before I begin, I came across this article written by Jeremey Grantham, who is a British investor and co-founder and chief investment strategist of GMO, also regarded as a highly knowledgeable investor particularly due to his prediction of various historic stock market bubbles.

    In his article titled "Waiting for the Last Dance", he outlines multiple points why he thinks we are in a major late-stage bubble. I will summarize below the key points discussed, but will also leave a link to the article in case you want to read the full version.

    https://www.gmo.com/americas/research-library/waiting-for-the-last-dance/

    - The long, long bull market since 2009 has finally matured into a fully-fledged epic bubble, and he believes this event will be recorded as one of the great bubbles of financial history along with the South Sea bubble, 1929, and 2000.

    - The single most dependable feature of the late stages of the great bubbles of history has been really crazy investor behaviour, especially on the part of individuals. For the first 10 years of this bull market, we lacked such wild speculation. But now we have it. (he provides examples such as Hertz, K*d*k, Nikola, and especially, Tesla)

    - The "Buffett indicator," total stock market capitalization to GDP, broke through its all-time-high 2000 record. In 2020, there were 480 IPOs (including an incredible 248 SPACs) – more new listings than the 406 IPOs in 2000. There are 150 non-micro-cap companies (market cap of over $250 million) that have more than tripled in the year, which is over 3 times as many as any year in the previous decade. The volume of small retail purchases, of less than 10 contracts, of call options on U.S. equities has increased 8-fold compared to 2019, and 2019 was already well above long-run average.

    - This time, more than in any previous bubble, investors are relying on accommodative monetary conditions and zero real rates extrapolated indefinitely ... Now once again the high prices this time will hold because…interest rates will be kept around nil forever, in the ultimate statement of moral hazard – the asymmetrical market risk we have come to know and depend on. The mantra of late 2020 was that engineered low rates can prevent a decline in asset prices. Forever! But of course, it was a fallacy in 2000 and it is a fallacy now. In the end, moral hazard did not stop the Tech bubble decline, with the NASDAQ falling 82%. Yes, 82%!

    -Nothing in investing perfectly repeats. Certainly not investment bubbles. Each form of irrational exuberance is different; we are just looking for what you might call spiritual similarities. Even now, I know that this market can soar upwards for a few more weeks or even months – it feels like we could be anywhere between July 1999 and February 2000. Which is to say it is entitled to break any day, having checked all the boxes, but could keep roaring upwards for a few months longer.

    - My best guess as to the longest this bubble might survive is the late spring or early summer, coinciding with the broad rollout of the COVID vaccine. At that moment, the most pressing issue facing the world economy will have been solved. Market participants will breathe a sigh of relief, look around, and immediately realize that the economy is still in poor shape, stimulus will shortly be cut back with the end of the COVID crisis, and valuations are absurd. "Buy the rumor, sell the news." But remember that timing the bursting of bubbles has a long history of disappointment.

    - Even with hindsight, it is seldom easy to point to the pin that burst the bubble. The main reason for this lack of clarity is that the great bull markets did not break when they were presented with a major unexpected negative. The great bull markets typically turn down when the market conditions are very favorable, just subtly less favorable than they were yesterday. And that is why they are always missed.

    -The combination of timing uncertainty and rapidly accelerating regret on the part of clients means that the career and business risk of fighting the bubble is too great for large commercial enterprises. So, don't wait for the Goldmans and Morgan Stanleys to become bearish: it can never happen. For them it is a horribly non-commercial bet. Perhaps it is for anyone. Profitable and risk-reducing for the clients, yes, but commercially impractical for advisors. Their best policy is clear and simple: always be extremely bullish. It is good for business and intellectually undemanding. It is appealing to most investors who much prefer optimism to realistic appraisal, as witnessed so vividly with COVID. And when it all ends, you will as a persistent bull have overwhelming company. This is why you have always had bullish advice in a bubble and always will.

    If you are interested to see more of his arguments, I strongly advise you to go and read the full article. I am currently 100% on equities, and very bullish for stocks as all of you probably are. But I think it's also important to have a balanced perspective, especially when everyone around you is extremely bullish. Ultimately, we are investing for the long run for our retirement. Everyone is a fucking genius in a bull market, and I think a lot of people in the sub, whether a newcomer or an experienced investor, should listen to bearish predictions and advices and not become a victim of confirmation bias.

    NIO

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 08:44 AM PST

    They just had 2021 nio day and I watched the whole conference. They look very promising in the future with a solid slate battery coming out with up to 650 miles per charge, lidar tech, nvidia partnership, battery as a service, over 200,000 charging stations, and battery swaps performed every 13 seconds, oh yea and a new vehicle that cost 85,000 usd. I think they are going to be up huge premarket Monday but who knows. What is everyone's buy under price or do you have one ? We all know they are currently trading way above earnings similar to Tesla, and still have yet to show us as investors that they can produce a profit. Thanks in advance. Avg price 41.50

    This subreddit stock picking is incredible!

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 06:47 PM PST

    I lurk on this subreddit daily and have been doing it for the past year and let me tell you the people in this subreddit know how to pick stocks. They are so accurate that it is borderline scary. If you been lurking here for the past year then you know almost ALL of the most mentioned stocks here have skyrocketed(and I am not even talking about Tesla or Nio). I know we are in a crazy bull run right now but give credit where credit is due, this subreddit stock picking is so stunning that it makes every other investing tv show/site look like amateurs.

    Some of the most mentioned stocks last year included Sea limited, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Draft kings, Cloudflare(NET), AMD, Nvidia, Square, Enphase, Microsoft, ICLN, Palantir, Alibaba, Apple, Sales force, Disney, ARKK, etc.

    Ya I know trash like Hyliion is also mentioned a lot here but if you do just little DD you know they have no revenue.

    House calls to break up large tech firms for being monopolistic: How will this affect share prices?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 11:15 AM PST

    After a house antitrust investigation, the House of Representatives found that AMZN, FB, AAPL, and GOOGL have "too much power" and should be broken up. How do you think this will affect shareholders? Is it time to sell it all and YOLO our entire net worth into shorts and puts, or do you think it'll just be a slap on the wrist for these companies and a 2% dip for a day or two before rising back up?

    So many “Is Tesla a bubble?” posts from get-rich-quick people in several subreddits

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 01:35 PM PST

    To all the people who did their DD on Tesla and are long on the company making bank on bank, congrats to you folks. Set yourselves up for retirement at 35 years old haha.

    To the people who keep asking if it's a bubble or if they should sell because they only really bandwagoned into Tesla cause of FOMO and their desire to get rich quickly, consider these:

    1) If you are happy with the profit that you've made, sell and never look back. Nobody ever lost by taking a profit.

    2) If you are especially worried about a "Tesla bubble" and are freaking out about losing what gains you've already made, just sell and put your mind at ease. No sense in going crazy over it. People have lost money for being too greedy.

    3) Next time, actually do your DD instead of just buying a company cause you see the stock price skyrocketing. 10Qs, 10Ks, Earnings calls, news articles, etc. are available to current and potential shareholders for a reason so use them and judge for yourself whether the company will generate an adequate future free cash flow to justify current valuation (aka form a thesis on the company).

    Just thought I'd make this post cause there are way too many people that's been posting and freaking out about a "Tesla bubble".

    **Edit: I never said it was or wasn't a bubble. I'm more so addressing the behaviour of the get-rich-quick-even-though-I-have-negative-one-idea-of-what-I'm-doing people who are gambling on this stock. I haven't done my DD on Tesla nor do I hold any Tesla shares so I'm not in a position to do some deep-dive evaluation on the value of it's expected future cash flows.

    Is it worth it to invest with little money?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 07:20 AM PST

    Right now I put about $200 into stocks and thanks to NIO and PLUG it's at $400 or so.

    I want to invest more but honestly I can only do $50 here and there. Should I save and buy a lot at once? Buy fractional shares?

    ACB, XOM, and SPHD are some of the other stocks I bought as well.

    Investors from 2000 and 2008, how much were you aware about the bubble?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 12:21 PM PST

    I only know from what I read that the majority did not see bubble at that time. But investors that experienced 2000 and 2008, how much were you aware about the situation at that time before the bubble popped?

    I ask because a lot of people are worried about this new bubble popping, even my old neighbors and my dog are worried about this bubble. I also have been getting more worried that this is a huge bubble forming, but enjoying the ride while it lasts.. It would be interesting to see how investors from those times felt and how much they knew.

    How did you learn different investing strategies beyond a simple buy-and-hold?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 12:40 PM PST

    Is there a book or at least a list of all strategies and financial instruments that are available to you as an investor? I've recently been studying hedge funds and read about Bill Ackman's March 2020 trade where he made huge gains by buying Credit Default Swaps - an instrument I didn't even know existed.

    I would love to learn how to hedge with options and so on.

    I've found a book called "A Financial Bestiary" by Ramin Nakisa which seems to fit what I'm looking for but hoping for more recommendations as I assume these sort of "summary" books should be pretty popular. Thanks

    Investment plan thoughts

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 01:17 PM PST

    Hi folks,

    I am 25 years living in Europe, have a day job that covers my monthly bills, and gives me a few more to save. I'm looking for a long term investment (10-15 yrs). I am thinking of an investment strategy to put a one-time deposit (1000 EUR) and then add a monthly payment into the portfolio. My plan is to have about 80% of diverse ETFs and have 20% of individual stocks. I am considering the below ETFs:

    - Vanguard S&P 500 - 20%

    - iShares Global Clean Energy - 15%

    - iShares EVs - 15%

    - iShares NASDAQ 100 - 10%

    - iShares S&P IT - 10%

    - iShares Automation and Robotics - 10%

    - iShares Core FTSE 100 - 8%

    - The Medical Cannabis and Wellness - 7%

    - iShares Core DAX - 5%

    Any thoughts about the strategy and ETFs choices?

    Thoughts on Microsoft?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 09:01 AM PST

    Hey I'm from the UK, I've got a LISA (Lifetime Savings ISA) pretty much a Roth IRA. But for every £4K you save, the government give you £1K.

    Well my government bonus came through yesterday and I'm considering purchasing some Microsoft Shares. I really like their products (Microsoft Surface/Word/Excel/LinkedIn/Teams/Cloud Services/Github), I know Microsoft had a record long run last year but I reckon there's still room for growth.

    Wondering if there's anything else I should know about? I'm planning to buy and hold for the long term.

    Bloom Energy (BE) | Hydrogen Fuel Cell | Bigger Than TESLA in 5 years

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 10:00 AM PST

    Bloom Energy (BE) will be as big as TSLA in 5 years.

    Bloom Energy is a fuel cell company that is transitioning to hydrogen fuel cells in 2021 and have commercial hydrogen fuel cell in 2021. It's Total Addressable Market is 300B. [2][5]

    Hydrogen will be bigger than Lithium-Ion batteries. It hasn't thus far because of the cost to produce hydrogen. But with the Biden administration and EU planning to invest heavily invest in solar and wind, the input cost to hydrogen electrolysis should decline enough to make hydrogen as cheap as natural gas [2][6]. This is why hydrogen is such a huge growth play now. The economics are only now just about to tip it into be the most economical form of electricity [3][2].

    The advantage of green hydrogen is that is completely green but as a couple of huge market advantage:

    1. More power density than Lithium battery. What this means is that you can have vehicles going 600 miles unlike lithium battery; or a small fuel cell footprint vs a large solar footprint for commercial buildings. Picture the size of a truck (fuel cell) vs a parking lot (solar) to power a big box retailer.
    2. Quick charge. Fueling a fuel cell would take minutes rather than hours with Lithium batteries.

    Note: blue hydrogen is made from natural gas. grey hydrogen is made from fossil fuel. green hydrogen is made from wind/solar/hydrodam/nuclear

    The EU already moving to a green hydrogen economy [3]. Bloom recently hired a GE to expand into the EU for 2021 [1]

    So comparatively, we have a company with technology comparable to PLUG.

    BE made 800M in annual sales for 2020 (natural gas fuel cells). They plan to address the hydrogen market by 2022. Like PLUG, they plan to have 1GW of capacity 2025.

    Lastly, their board is comprise of government insiders and the former CEO of GE [4]. So they are well position to gain more regulation in favor of hydrogen and knowledge on how to expand internationally.

    You are buying BE for when hydrogen will be the main fuel source starting in 2025 onward. It will overtake Lithium Ion by 2035. Buying into hydrogen now is like buying into TSLA when it introduce its first lithium ion battery. And we are only here because of the deep investments in solar and wind to reduce the cost to produce green hydrogen.

    Is a trailing stop order good insurance against a market bubble?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 08:46 AM PST

    Sort of new to stocks and investing. I only have a few thousand invested but mostly in the tech industry. Recently I've seen a lot of posts asking if we are in a bubble, which from my own DD would seem to agree with that sentiment.

    So if I set a %10-15 trailing stop order on my investments and let it sit will that help me protect my investments if the market crashes? Maybe a little larger of a percentage to allow for more volatility?

    Let's get this straight: why did TESLA go to moon this way ?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 03:48 AM PST

    I am new in investing. I was a bit interested at TSLA stock in 2019 but my thoughs were that this stock was way overvalued, especially compared to the amount of cars delivered by the company.

    My thoughts were partially influenced by a professional investment magazine that I suscribed in my country in order to have some "professional opinions", instead of reddit only, who thought the same and even told people to sell TSLA in April 2020. Looking at the price of TSLA now, I unsubscribed of course.

    But still, I do not understand why TSLA did such an impressive bull run like this. I know that TSLA is valued as a tech company, not a car manufacturer. But still, this bubble is scary. And as a guy who was interested in TSLA before and did not buy, I am quite sad now to have missed the train.

    Can somebedy ELI5 me on why TSLA mooned ?

    Thanks.

    $MELI is a great opportunity

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 08:15 AM PST

    1) E-commerce purchases as a part of all retail in Latin America at the end of last year were somewhere around 4% of the total. Huge growth ahead. 2) MELI jumped 7% on friday because in a press release, MercadoLibre said it will offer $400 million worth of debt paying 2.375% interest and maturing in 2026, and also $700 million worth of debt paying 3.125% and maturing in 2031. The company noted that this will be its first offering of debt securities. 3) Deep on e-commerce and fintech, this company is an Amazon + Square + Paypal combination in South America. 4) Just started to ride the Green wave, which only brings gains: "MercadoLibre intends to use the net proceeds from the sale ... to finance or refinance ... environmental objectives such as: clean transportation, land conservation and preservation, energy efficiency, renewable energy, green buildings and pollution prevention and control."

    MELI can go really high without much risk associated, just expect some low volume volatility. My floor Price Target for MELI is $2300 in 6-9 months.

    Trading212 Free share question

    So I've just created a trading212 account as I've been lurking here long enough and need a piece of the action. I saw that they have a free stock promotion where simply by using a code and depositing you receive a share worth upto £100?

    Turns out there is now a buy order for easyjet which is valued at 785. I assume it will be a very small fractional share worth a couple of pounds maybe? Can anyone just clear this up for me? TIA

    Does anyone know the exact day in March when Snowflake’s final lockup expires?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 01:10 PM PST

    Also, when do you think will be the best time to invest in that company? Is it going to go down just for one day after the lockup expires and you should buy it the same day during the dip, or is it going to go down for more than one day and I should buy later? Sorry for the newbie questions. Just got into investing.
