Deutsche Bank Update
Trader Scott’s Market Blog
October 9, 2016
Deutsche Bank has had a large rally from the recent lows. It has given the central bankers (CBs) some breathing room. They better not assume that anything has changed in theglobalbanking system. That system is a complete disaster. And with their NIRP/ZIRP policies, the absolutely brilliant PHDs at the world’s CBs have completely destroyed the already very fragile financial system. And while Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank have had some bullish intermediate term technical action this year into the lows (charts below), I do expect, at a minimum, a retest of those lows. And that is where (hopefully) I’ll be able to make a better judgement. But in general, I am not remotely bullish (intermediate term) on the world’s stock markets, and I’ve been chronicling the sectors which I am looking to short into on a “good news” based rally. It took me too long to understand that even if I’m very bearish on a market, I need to allow it plenty of room to rally first, which sets up a way, way better entry point. The financials are high on my list. Even the CBs know they blew it with their moronic experiments with ZIRP, but high IQ people have a very hard time admitting when they’re wrong (it’s why super intelligent people rally succeed in markets). So the markets will force the CBs to change their policies. And the next policy for them to fail at will be helicopter money – financing massive infrastructure spending by governments, for example. And these policies will be implemented just as the global government bond market is finally, finally getting close to being ready to begin a relentless move higher in yields. This will have massive, profound effects on all of us. Are you ready?

Hi Scott,
Great insight re when to short . issue is what do you think the end game is – what does it look like ands what time frame ? If bond mkts start falling apart even in slow motion , we see sovereign defaults etc so am curious to see how you see this game either going on or unraveling.
If govts issue perp. Bond s maybe they can prolong the game for another 10 – 15 yrs ?
I just can’t see the system collapsing as central banks, banks, auditors, investors, pension funds etc will do what it takes to prevent the system from falling apart. I don’t believe in their abilities as saviours but the level of corruption in the system incl the investors and general public is so great that this system could continue.
Thanks ,

Good questions Aamer. I don’t know what the endgame is, but I know it’s going to be very ugly for all of us. I’m trying to do my minuscule part to get people to learn how markets actually operate, so to be better prepared. And of course the idiots in government and central banks will continue with their lunacy. Yes perpetual bonds will be tried. But in the end, I believe in the market and when the tsunami of capital begins leaving the govt. bonds, there is nothing they can do to stop it, only slow it down.

Thank you. It might be a useful exercise to put together a endgame portfolio or strategy with what if scenarios etc we know that bond mkts will implode at some point….but not sure what would be true safe havens. Don’t buy the farm land, real estate answer as these are non mobile assets which can be taxed and eventually confiscated….
I guess this is a exercise that is fun with many participant input…..something to perhaps throw out there to a wider audience ?
Best,
Aamer
