We debuted a new scan recently which goes by the name- All Star Momentum.
All Star Momentum is a brand new scan that guides us toward the very best stocks in the market. We have incorporated our stock universe of Nifty 500 as the base this time around. Among the 500 stocks that we follow, this scan will pump out names that are most likely to outperform the market.
Long-term yields are moving lower while short-term yields continue to rise. The spread between 10-year and 3-month Treasury yields is the most negative it has been in over a decade. It has been four decades since the spread between 10-year and 2-year yields has been as negative as it is now.
Why It Matters: Yield curves invert (short-term yields become higher than longer-term yields) when the bond market thinks that the Fed has already or will soon become too restrictive for the economy to remain healthy. It is the market betting that the Fed will have to cut rates, bringing down yields at the short-end of the curve. Inverted yield curves are a sign of macro stress and have historically been reliable forecasters of recession. The depth of the current inversions is a warning signal from the bond market, a call for caution on the economy and earnings (and by extension, stock prices). It’s not just happening in the US - except for one blip during 2008, the spread between German 10-year and 2-...
So we were talking about a guy who's apparently subsisting only on McDonald's patties for the next 30 days. Just the patty --- no bun, no condiments, no lettuce. He's trying to prove some kind of point that it's not McDonald's burgers that are unhealthy, it's everything else in a typical American's McDonald's order at the drive-thru window.
Ok. Whatever.
But all this "healthy McDonald's" talk got us thinking about the even healthier looking chart of its stock $MCD in recent weeks:
The collapse of the FTX exchange has been a significant catalyst for market participants to utilize one of Bitcoin's greatest value propositions -- self-custody.
Self-custody is when only you have possession of your digital funds because you control the private key. There's no question; there's no alternative to holding your crypto other than in private cold storage.
Owning your Bitcoin keys voids the necessity for a financial intermediary, completely removing any and all counterparty risk. This is especially important given that crypto exchanges hold a shaky history of being responsible stewards of clients' funds.
When you hold your crypto in hot wallets managed by intermediaries like exchanges, they have all the control. They can freeze your transactions, block withdrawals, set limits on the amount you can transact -- and, in the case of FTX, use your funds for their private self-interest.
We're seeing a massive migration where market participants are waking to the value of self-custody.
