(MARKET OUTLOOK FOR THE WEEK AHEAD, or THE GOLDEN AGE OF BIG BANKING HAS JUST BEGUN) (JPM), (FRC), (BAC), (C), (WFC), (AAPL), (GOOGL), (META), (AMZN), (TSLA), (NVDA), (CRM), ($VIX), (USO), (TLT), (QQQ)
The United States is about to change beyond all recognition.
Most investors have missed the true meaning of the JP Morgan takeover of First Republic Bank for sofa change, some $10.6 billion. It in fact heralds the golden age of big banking. The US is about to move from 4,000 banks to four, with all of the profits accruing at the top.
Look at the details of the (JPM)/(FRC) deal and you will become utterly convinced.
(JPM) bought a $90 billion loan portfolio for 87 cents on the dollar, despite the fact that the actual default rate was under 1%. The FDIC agreed to split losses for five years on residential losses and seven years on commercial ones. The deal is accretive to (JPM) book value and earnings. (JPM) gets an entire wealth management business, lock, stock, and barrel. Indeed, CEO Jamie Diamond was almost embarrassed by what a great deal he got.
It was the deal of the century, a true gift for the ages. If this is the model going forward, you want to load the boat with every big bank share out there.
And the amazing thing was that (JPM) made the highest bid among a half dozen contenders.
Along with Health Care, banking is the last unconsolidated US industry. We have five railroads, four airlines, three trucking companies, three telephone companies, two cell phone providers….and 4,000 banks?
Other countries get by with much less. England has five major banks, Australia four, and Germany two, one of which goes bankrupt every decade (I’m not naming names). America’s financial system is an anachronism of its federal system where each of the 50 states is treated like a mini country.
The net net of this will be a massive capital drain from the entire country to New York where the big banks are concentrated. Local economies in the Midwest and the South will collapse for lack of funding. The West Coast will be OK with behemoth technology companies spinning off gigantic cash flows.
The other big story here is the dramatic change in the administration’s antitrust policy. Until now, it has opposed every large merger as an undue concentration of economic power. Then suddenly, the second largest bank merger in history took place on a weekend, and there will be more to come.
All it takes is a Twitter run by depositors. Every weekend has become a waiting game for the foreseeable future.
Needless to say, this makes all the big banks a screaming buy. Hoover up every one of the coming dip, including (JPM), (BAC), (C), and (WFC).
Big is beautiful.
To prove I am not perfect, my position in First Republic Bank (FRC) still sits on my broker statement a week after it filed for bankruptcy, dead, moribund, and worthless as if it is some form of punishment. It’s a very small position but it stings nonetheless.
It’s like they want to punish me for leading them astray. They have been copying my trades for ages without paying for them and I hope they took a big one in (FRC).
So far in May, I have managed a modest +0.55% profit. My 2023 year-to-date performance is now at an eye-popping +62.30%. The S&P 500 (SPY) is up only a miniscule +8.40% so far in 2023. My trailing one-year return reached a 15-year high at +120.45% versus -3.67% for the S&P 500.
That brings my 15-year total return to +659.49%. My average annualized return has blasted up to +48.86%, another new high, some 2.79 times the S&P 500 over the same period.
Some 40 of my 43 trades this year have been profitable. My last 20 consecutive trade alerts have been profitable.
I initiated no new trades last week, content to run off existing profitable ones. With the Volatility Index at a two-year low at 15.78%, opportunities are few and far between. Those include both longs and shorts in Tesla (TSLA), a long in the bond market (TLT), and a short in the (QQQ).
That leaves me with only one remaining position, a short-dated long in the bond market. I now have a very rare 90% cash position due to the lack of high-return, low-risk trades.
The Fed Raises Rates 0.25%, likely the last such move in this cycle. Futures markets are now discounting a 25-basis point CUT by September, the beginning of a new decade-long falling rate cycle. The problem is that AI is creating more jobs than it is destroying, keeping the Fed fixated on the wrong data.
Nonfarm Payroll Jumps by 253,000, another hot number. The headline Unemployment Rate dropped to a half-century low of 3.4%. These figures suggest for rate hikes to come.
The JP Morgan Buys First Republic Bank from the FDIC, for $10.6 billion, thus wiping out the shareholders. It’s a huge win for (JPM), which picked up 87 branches and $90 billion in loans in the wealthiest part of the country, taking the share up $5. What you lost on (FRC) you made pack on (JPM) LEAPS. Live and learn. On to the next trade! The FDIC got out for nearly free, a big win for the government.
Government DefaultDate Moved Up to June 1, by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, smacking the bond market for three points. The House remains an albatross around the bond market’s debt.
Europe Ekes Out 0.1% Growth in Q1, versus a 1.1% rate for the US. This is despite the drag of the Ukraine War, energy shortages, high inflation, and Brexit. What’s the difference between the US and Europe? We allow immigrants who become customers, while the continent doesn’t.
You Only Need to Buy Seven Stocks This Year, as the rest are going nowhere. That include (AAPL), (GOOGL), (META), (AMZN), (TSLA), (NVDA), (CRM). Watch out when the next rotation broadens out to the rest of the market.
Is Volatility Bottoming Now? The Fed announcement of a 25 basis point hike on Wednesday could end the move up in stocks. After that, shares will only have an imminent debt default and US government downgrade to focus on. ($VIX) seven-week fade will end that revisit the old highs in the high $20’s. Great shorting opportunities are setting up.
Oil (USO) Crashes 5% on US debt default fears in the biggest drop since January. This is the worst asset class to own going into a recession. EV competition is also starting to take a bite. No gas needed here. $66 a barrel here we come.
More Tesla Price Cuts to Come, with swelling inventories forcing Musk’s hand. The only consolation is that Detroit will suffer more. Musk is cutting profits while the big three are accelerating losses. Tesla has excess inventory for the first time in its 20-year history.
Apple (AAPL) Earnings Beat, led by stronger than expected Q1 iPhone sales at $53.1 billion. EPS came in at $1.53 versus $1.42 expected, revenues at $94.84 billion versus $92.96. Mac and iPad sales are down YOY. Services rose 5.3%. Apple bought back a stunning $90 billion of its own shares and paid dividends. The shares popped $3. The long-term growth play here is low prices phone in India where second hand phone sales have been burgeoning. That's why Apple is now offering to buy your old phone. Next stop: New Delhi.
My Ten-Year View
When we come out the other side of the recession, we will be perfectly poised to launch into my new American Golden Age, or the next Roaring Twenties. The economy decarbonizing and technology hyper-accelerating, creating enormous investment opportunities. The Dow Average will rise by 800% to 240,000 or more in the coming decade. The new America will be far more efficient and profitable than the old.
Dow 240,000 here we come!
On Monday, May 8 at 7:30 AM EST, the Consumer Inflation Expectations are out.
On Tuesday, May 9 at 6:00 AM, the NFIB Business Optimism Index is announced. On Wednesday, May 10 at 11:00 AM, the US Inflation rate is printed. On Thursday, May 11 at 8:30 AM, the Weekly Jobless Claims are announced. We also get the Producer Price Index.
On Friday, May 12 at 8:30, the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for April is released.
As for me, I have been going down memory lane looking at my old travel photos looking for new story ideas and I hit the jackpot.
Most people collect postcards from their foreign travels. I collect lifetime bans from whole countries.
During the 1970s, The Economist magazine of London sent me to investigate the remote country of Nauru, one half degree south of the equator in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
At the time, they had the world’s highest per capita income due to the fact that the island was entirely composed of valuable bird guano essential for agriculture. Before the Haber-Bosch Process to convert nitrogen into ammonia was discovered, guano was the world’s sole source of high grade fertilizer.
So I packed my camera, extra sunglasses, and a couple of pairs of shorts and headed for the most obscure part of the world. That involved catching Japan Airlines from Tokyo to Hawaii, Air Micronesia to Majuro in the Marshall Islands, and Air Nauru to the island nation in question.
There was a problem in Nauru. Calculating the market value of the bird crap leaving the island, I realized it in no way matched the national budget. It should have since the government owned the guano mines.
Whenever numbers don’t match up, I get interested.
I managed to wrangle an interview with the president of the country in the capital city of Demigomodu. It turns out that was no big deal as visitors were so rare in the least visited country in the world that he met with everyone!
When the president ducked out to take a call, I managed to steal a top-secret copy of the national budget. I took it back to my hotel and read it with great interest.
I discovered that the president’s wife had been commandeering Boeing 727s from Air Nauru to go on lavish shopping expeditions to Sydney, Australia where she was blowing $200,000 a day on jewelry, designer clothes, and purses, all at government expense. Just when I finished reading, there was a heavy knock on the door. The police had come to arrest me.
It didn’t take long for missing budget to be found. I was put on trial, sentenced to death for espionage, and locked up to await my fate. The trial took 20 minutes.
Then one morning I was awoken by the rattling of keys. My editor at The Economist, the late Peter Martin, had made a call and threatened the intervention of the British government. Visions of Her Majesty’s Navy loomed on the horizon.
I was put in handcuffs and placed on the next plane out of the country, a non-stop for Brisbane Australia. When I was seated next to an Australian passenger, he asked “Jees, what did you do mate, kill someone?” On arrival, I sent the story to the Australian papers.
I dined out on that story for years.
Alas, things have not gone well for Nauru in the intervening 50 years. The guano is all gone, mined to exhaustion. It is often cited as an environmental disaster. The population has rocketed from 4,000 to 10,000. Per capita incomes have plunged from $60,000 a year to $10,000. The country is now a ward of the Australian government to keep the Chinese from taking it over.
If you want to learn more about Nauru, which many believe to be a fictitious country, please click here.
As for me, I think I’ll pass. I don’t ever plan to visit Nauru again. Once lucky, twice forewarned.
Stay healthy,

The Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader
https://www.madhedgefundtrader.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/oceana-may2023.png6861024Mad Hedge Fund Traderhttps://madhedgefundtrader.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/cropped-mad-hedge-logo-transparent-192x192_f9578834168ba24df3eb53916a12c882.pngMad Hedge Fund Trader2023-05-08 09:02:522023-05-08 12:00:34The Market Outlook for the Week Ahead, or The Golden Age of Big Banking has Just Begun!
Banks have become the call option on a US economic recovery.
When the economic data runs hot, banks rally. When it’s cold, they sell off. So, in recent months bank share prices have been melting up.
If we are falling into a recession, then unloading banks here is the right thing to do. If we’re not, and this is really a fake out, then you are looking at the buying opportunity of the decade for banks.
I fall in the latter camp.
There also is a huge sector rotation issue staring you in the face. Where would you rather put new money, stocks at all-time highs trading at ridiculous multiples, like energy stocks, or a quality sector in the bargain basement?
Big institutions have already decided what to do and are buying every dip in financials.
Banks certainly took it on the nose in 2022. Loan default rates soared, demanding a massive increase in loan loss provisions.
Much more stringent accounting rules also kicked in known as “Current Expected Credit Losses.” That requires banks to write off 100% of their losses immediately, rather than spread them out over a period of years.
So what happens next?
For a start, fall down on your knees and thank that Dodd-Frank, the Obama-era financial regulation bill, was passed.
Banks carped for years that it unnecessarily and unfairly tied their hands by limiting leverage ratios to only 10:1. Morgan Stanley reached 40:1 going into the Great Recession and barely made it out alive, while ill-fated Lehman Brothers reached a suicidal 100:1 and didn’t.
That meant the banks went into the pandemic with the strongest balance sheets in decades. No financial crisis here.
Thanks to government efforts to bring the pandemic hit to the economy to a quick end, generous fees have been raining down on the banks from the numerous loan programs they helped to implement, such as PPP.
And trading profits? You may have noticed that options trading volume is up a monster 100% so far in 2023. That falls straight to the banks’ bottom lines. If you’re wondering why your online trading platform keeps crashing that’s why.
I list below my favorite bank investments using the logic that during depressions you want to buy Rolls Royces, Teslas, and Cadillacs at deep discounts, not Volkswagens, Fiats, or Trabants.
JP Morgan (JPM) – is the crown jewel of the sector, with the best balance sheet and the strongest customers. It has over reserved for losses that are probably never going to happen, stowing away some $25 billion in the last quarter alone.
Morgan Stanley (MS) - Brokerage-oriented ones like Morgan Stanley (MS) and Goldman Sachs (GS) are benefiting the most from the explosion in stock and options trading. Morgan’s focus on asset management has made it the first pick among investors demanding a high multiple. I’ll pick my former employer (MS), where I once accounted for 80% of equity division profits.
Bank of America (BAC) - is another quality play with a fortress balance sheet.
Citigroup (C) – is the leveraged play in the sector with a slightly weaker balance sheet and a more aggressive marketing strategy. It seems like they’re always trying to catch up with (JPM). This is the high volatility play in the sector.
And what about Wells Fargo (WFC) you may ask, the cheapest bank of all? This year, it has shaken off hair suit because of its many regulatory transgressions, before, during, and after the financial crisis so I’ll give it a miss.

Urgent Trader Warning: The Mad Hedge Market Timing Index moved to a one-year high yesterday and is in “STRONG SELL” territory. Any long stock positions you have for the short-term should be hedged. For more details, please visit my Refresher Course at Short Selling School by clicking here.
Below please find subscribers’ Q&A for the December 14 Mad Hedge Fund Trader Global Strategy Webinar broadcast from Silicon Valley in California.
Q: Is it time to short the S&P 500 (SPY), or go into cash?
A: I vote for cash. Number 1. We’ve just had a tremendous run in the market. The 200-day moving average at $405 is proving to be massive resistance, and you could get a bunch of profit-taking in January on all the positions people bought up in October. They’ve made a ton of money on that, and they may be deferring to profit-taking, hoping for the Santa Clause rally to continue and to take advantage of all that time decay over the holidays—so, high risk. Risk-reward right now is terrible, so I don’t want to do anything. I’m 100% cash, and I’ll stay that way until the New Year unless something exceptional happens in the markets—you never know what might happen. And I watch markets 24/7, vacation or not because it's in my blood.
Q: What about Financials?
A: Wait until the next dip and then go for call spreads which deliver max profits in sideways markets. JP Morgan (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C) and you might take a look at Wells Fargo (WFC) next time around, but they always seem to be getting into trouble.
Q: What do we do about interest rates here?
A: Look for the 10-year Treasury bond (TLT) yield to drop to about 2.50% in 2023, about the first half of 2023—maybe by June or so. We did just have a round of profit-taking, but we’re adding on dips.
Q: What do you think about the US sending patriot batteries to Ukraine?
A: The problem is the MIM-104 Patriot SAM system is kind of old—about 41 years old—and it’s been outrun by the new technologies developed by the Ukraine war. Also, 1,000 drones at $1,000 each would be cheaper than 1 patriot missile for $4 million. Sending swarms of hundreds of super cheap drone bombs to attack targets has only been developed over the past six months and you only need one to get through to destroy the target for which the patriot would be useless. Patriot is really designed to shoot down incoming Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads with one hour of notice and highly predictable trajectories. We used them a lot in the Gulf War in 1991, and we gave many to Israel which used them to great effect when defending big cities. But they were only firing against slow WWII German-style V2 rockets which Saddam Hussein literally copied off of Wikipedia. If you want to see how effective the new drone strategy is, watch competitive drone racing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNRiMgNnuVE ), or robot wars (http://www.robotwars.tv ), or any of these other online programs where you have drones controlled by humans doing exactly what I’m talking about. Also, 1,000 drones at $1,000 each would be cheaper than 1 patriot missile for $ million.
Q: What’s your Rivian (RIVN) target by the January options expiration?
A: I have no idea, but Elon Musk has had the impact of destroying not only Tesla but the entire EV sector, so Rivian is a great company clearly being dragged down by Tesla. But also, a joint venture to make trucks in Europe was also put on hold with Mercedes. And of course, nobody wants to spend money ahead of a recession. Buy (RIVN) two-year LEAPS.
Q: Why is the US buying Natural Gas (UNG) in Massachusetts from Russia when we have so much already in this country?
A: The US does not have a national natural gas pipeline system, so you can have excesses in Texas where it’s produced meet shortages in Massachusetts where it’s consumed. Somebody found a loophole to get Russian gas into the US using offshore shell companies which I’m sure will be closed instantly once that delivery is made. Suffice it to say that the sanctions on Russia are tightening, are having a deeper effect and forcing them to pull out of Ukraine sooner than we expect. That may be the pivotal black swan of 2023—that Russia gives up on Ukraine, which would be a huge positive for all markets.
Q: When will we be using nuclear fusion?
A: I have been following nuclear fusion for 50 years, ever since I worked at the Nuclear Test Site in Nevada—it’s long been the holy grail for alternative energy. I talked to the teams every once in a while, since they live next door. The positive developments we saw in England last week are a big breakthrough, but you’re looking for at least 30 years until we get functional economic nuclear fusion power plants. So, we only have to stay alive for 30 more years (and keep climate change from killing us all off in the meantime) before we get carbon-free energy in an unlimited supply. Having said that, from the time they developed a functional commercial nuclear powerplant using Uranium in 1957 from the initial use of the atomic bomb in 1945, was only 12 years and that had to be equally as daunting. So, I may be wrong, and there may be other breakthroughs coming our way, but you don’t control 150 million degrees easily—that's what’s necessary with fusion. The amounts of power input required are also staggering, like all the power that San Francisco uses in a day, just to produce marginal bits of electricity. And the deuterium fuel needed (H2, or heavy hydrogen) in large quantities would not exactly be cheap either. But in 30 years every city should get its own min sun to provide unlimited electricity. So there’s your science lecture of the day, from a long-term fusion follower. For a more detailed explanation please click here at https://www.energy.gov/science/doe-explainsnuclear-fusion-reactions
Q: Is Tesla (TSLA) a buy here?
A: Absolutely, for the long term, but I would not be amazed to see $110 print first. Number one, there’s a major short play going on here too building huge amounts of buying power, and Number two, we’re flushing out a lot of long-term profit takers for tax loss selling as we go with the year-end to offset 2022 losses in other stocks. Buying Tesla at 27X earnings multiple, and next year’s 19X multiple when it was at 100X just a year ago is kind of unbelievable. An onslaught of new Tesla positives will hit the market in 2023. The new Cybertruck comes out and there is a two-year waiting list out the gate and deposits in hand for 100,000 vehicles. The company is generating such enormous cash flows that it is like to carry out $10 billion in share buybacks, especially with the price this low. There are no real competitors on the horizon, except for a handful with minimal production at big losses outside of China.
Q: Is the demise of FTX the end of crypto?
A: I would say yes, which is why we stopped producing our Bitcoin newsletter. It could take 30 years for this thing to recover. It’s another Japanese stock market type situation, where it literally takes three decades to recover, and by then new technologies will far surpass it. The confidence in anything crypto has been totally destroyed by the FTX scandal—it’s the final nail in the coffin. And there are better things to do—I’d rather be buying NVIDIA (NVDA) or Tesla (TSLA) than crypto. There are too many great trades after a bear market.
Q: Is Blackrock (BLK) in trouble?
A: Not in a million years, and I’d be buying it on any dip. They’re an incredibly well-run company, buy on dips. They have one gated REIT which thei disclosed well in advance that is drawing all the adverse publicity. In bear markets, traders always believe the worst.
Q: Why would you not sell Nvidia (NVDA)?
A: Well, we dumped all our tech stocks in January, so we did sell there. But I try not to go against long-term trends, and the long-term trends for Nvidia is a double or triple from here since they are the 8-pound gorilla in the high-end chip business.
Q: Why is cybersecurity (PANW), (CRWD) so unloved in this environment?
A: They are over-owned. When everybody owns something, you can have the greatest story in the world and it doesn’t go up because you need new buyers for things to go up, and the Cybersecurity story is pretty well known. That’s why it won’t go down either, people are not selling because they believe in the long-term story of cyber security—and quite correctly so, and I might add at the bottom of the ranges.
Q: Isn’t Warren Buffet’s age a worry regarding Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB)?
A: No, the replacement management team that has been there for 20 years, is generating great results. Warren is basically just the front-end mouthpiece for Berkshire Hathaway, just like I’m the front-end mouthpiece for the Mad Hedge Fund Trader and isn't really involved in day-to-day decisions. That’s how Berkshire was able to step up its technology exposure during the teens. When he goes, the stock might drop 5% from algorithm and uninformed sales, but no more.
Q: What do you think of the iShares 20 Plus Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) versus the ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury (TBT)?
A: Avoid the (TBT) because it’s a 2x—you have extra management fees, and extra dealing costs—it’s better just to buy (TLT) on a 2x margin than it is shorting the (TBT) which is already a 2x. I’m looking for $120-$130 in the (TLT) by mid-2023, which is also a great LEAPS candidate.
Q: Is the market rethinking technology multiples here which are IBIDTA based?
A: It has already rethought the technology multiples because they have collapsed. They have dropped, in Tesla’s case 100X to 19X, which looks like a pretty serious piece of rethinking to me, so yes absolutely. Where is the final level? My theory always has been that when tech falls to a market multiple, which for the S&P 500 right now is 18.5X, that is your final bottom in tech multiples which means they may have more to go down. And what might really happen is you may have a situation where the market multiples start to rise again and get back up to the 20’s, tech falls, and they meet somewhere in the low 20s. That’s your final bottom for tech, and then you buy it to own for the next 10 years.
Q: When do you think the Fed will start lowering rates?
A: It will be a second-half affair. First of all, they have to raise rates by 50 basis points on Wednesday, then raise them again in February by 50 and again in March by 25, and then leave them alone for 3 months. Then we will have a recession, or dramatically lower inflation by then, or both. And then they’ll have room to start cutting, which sets a calendar of about June where they start several 75 basis point CUTS. Remember, markets discount things 6-9 months in advance, which is why we had that $20 rally in the (TLT) that started in February. There’s your calendar. So far, it’s working.
Q: Will you give a buy signal on Tesla (TSLA)?
A: More like a Hail Mary on Tesla, hoping that it’s the bottom. When you get these capitulation selloffs, which is what we’re getting on Tesla, there is absolutely no way of predicting where the final number is, because you’re dealing with human emotions here, which are totally unpredictable and are panicking. I’d rather wait, give the first 10% of the move to the next guy, and then play the new trend from there. But I think Tesla could be one of the top performers of 2023. Especially if you get down to like $110 or so, something unbelievable—you know, get Tesla to market multiple, that means it’s got to drop another $30 essentially, and in this environment, it could do that. It could keep going down every day for the rest of this year because a lot of these big reversals tend to happen at year ends. When you get the last Tesla bull out of there, that’s when it goes up. After that, it’s all short covering.
Q: Do you think it will be 50 or 75 basis points?
A: It’s a coin toss for whether it’s 50 or 75. Knowing Jay Powell as I do, I’d go for 50, but with harsh talk. I think he wants to shock us, wants to kill off this stock market rally, wants to kill off any hope you can get one more price rise through the system before we hit a recession. A 50 basis points would be a real shocker and, by the way, would also give us easily a 1000-point selloff, which we could then use to buy into for the new year.
Q: Could Tesla reach $600?
A: Yes, I think it could. Remember, the fundamental story for Tesla is still on track. They are still growing at a 40% rate, while the rest of Detroit is going nowhere. All of their leads are overwhelming, and the really telling aspect for the future of Tesla is that Apple gave up on its autonomous driving program. Every other car company in the world is going to come to the same decision, except for maybe Google. So yes, the bull case is absolutely there, you just have to wait for the current capitulation to flush out, and then it becomes a buy for years.
Q: Does the adoption of a digital currency impact the economy?
A: No, I think anything digital money is on hold for the foreseeable future as the FTX disaster unfolds.
Q: Do you like Salesforce (CRM)?
A: Yes, long-term. It’s also in a capitulation “catch a falling knife” stage. Wait for that to finish—better to buy it on the way up than on the way down is all I can say.
Q: Will there be any restrictions on copper mining (FCX)?
A: Not that I can think of—we’re looking at an enormous shortage of copper going forward and a future copper shock. Most of this is produced in emerging markets that have no environmental restrictions, which is why it happens there, like Chile. So yes, looking for new copper sources will be one of the big plays of this decade.
Q: Do you think the market will bottom in 2023?
A: Yes, if it hasn’t already.
