More excitement on healthcare labor shortages. So the question then is why. Is real inflation (not the crap we are spoon fed by media and government) so bad that current job pay rates are inadequate to encourage work? We never actually raised minimum wage but the effect is that people now won't work for less than $15/hr. Guess what….most businesses don't want to pay unskilled labor a high wage.

Ultimately, all these current events we see daily (labor shortages, commodities prices going up, inflationary pressures, etc.) all have economic explanations. These didn't come from left field and catch us off guard. Supply chain issues can be resolved quickly if there is $$ at the end of the rainbow. People wanna work if a reasonable amount of money can be made and the the purchasing value of the dollar is good.

This is why I remain generally bearish in medium to long term. Short term (I.e. this week in the market), I have no idea. Joe Biden could fart on TV and the SPY would go up 1% on the comedy of it all.

First off let me say I would gladly welcome the event in your last sentence.
Regarding supply chain, I think that is a difficult problem that eventually will become a bubble. Demand for everything from steel, to screws, plastic, wood, etc are so high. My plant is investing in more and more advanced production equipment to meet our customer demands. Our suppliers are doing the same for us. And their suppliers them. It's a big bullwhip right now. So yes it's a money thing. But equally so a time thing. Every asset we add to get more capacity is also an asset that's taking time to arrive. At some point we'll finally reach a balance. And shortly after a glut of supply. I'm unsure how some companies intend to manage that change. I can only speak to what we're doing knowing that day will eventually be upon us

It sounds like an industry that was already stretched thin pre-COVID, and the pandemic has just exacerbated things.

The travel contracts have been brought up here before; these nurses are now able to work less and make the same or better money. Sounds like a no-brainer if travel isn't a problem.

So he talks at the end of the thread about 4450 being a magnet but that trade reads like a bearish one to me. What am I missing?

Agree with all comments. Just seems like things are so stretched. I have to believe at some level that printing more cash last year than was circulating in 2008 only creates real economic consequences. If the dollar doesn't go as far, people need more of it. The problem is that our wages are largely fixed, and people are actually becoming poorer a s able to do less with their dollar.

But this is true for shipping, manufacturing, production, labor, etc. this is the supply chain. It's been carved up by inflation. That's my suspicion, at least.

Certainly shutting the world down for a time didn't help, but I would've guessed we would have seen these issues come to a head sooner (like shortly after re-opening).

It's all conjecture at this point, but the truth will declare itself in due time. Let's not forget though the nefarious nature of our leaders. They told us no inflation, then transitory, then that it was good for us, and now that it'll be here for a while….

My takeaway is not the initial trade but we know the MM will hedge their positions. The trade is so large that those hedges have big is impacts. It is about what the MM has to do as the price of the underlying moves.

Connecting some dots from various happenings the last week or so and looked back at some WWR presentations.
Ford announced 3 battery factories and a truck plant to be built in Tennessee and Kentucky. Existing Ford plant already in Louisville. WWR location in central Alabama. WWR presentation referred to the f150 lightning battery having up to 450lbs of graphite. Heavy stuff costs a lot to transport. Seems like they're working on a pretty efficient supply chain for battery plants and vehicle production in this central us area. Man I'd love to know what big fish are jockeying for preferred positions in the WWR supply

Any thoughts on DKNG? Similar to Wish, the Weekly MACD is still Bullish at .19, and the RSI was below 30 on Thursday, but above it on Friday. Also, Thursday candle followed by Friday candle appears to be a Bullish Harami Cross in my opinion. Thursday candle also bounced off of the 23.6% Fib. Retracement from the uptrend from 7/19 to 9/8. I am eyeing 10/15 $54 calls going for about .8 right now.

One more to throw out there. $GRUB. Not one that I plan on playing, just want to gauge y'alls thoughts on it. It meets the 3 screen summary of having a weekly bullish MACD, and the daily RSI was below 30 on Thursday but slightly above it on Friday. Not sure how much lower this one will go, and it'd be amazing to see it fill that nice gap back up to the $59/60 range. If I were to take a long in this, it'd be with a stop loss at the low of Thursday at 14.49. The gap down was due to Grub merging with Just Eat Takeaway's back in June. Thanks as always.

For most of these nurses, "travel" means a short drive down the road.

We've had some quit just to turn around and be PRN nurses at our own institution, effectively given themselves a large pay raise.

I mean, it's hard to fault them for managing to make their entire yearly wage in 1/3 the time.
But it does cause problems for those who haven't left, as they are working alongside someone who is doing the exact same job but making 3x as much.

There are also more people retiring after this long bull run.

I was watching this earlier with my neighbor. Friedman is neat guy. Probably the best speaker on economic subject in last 50 years, regardless of whether you agree with his ideas or not. Incredible communicator.

One of the most cogent things he says in this video is that when central banks print money, the initial response is that inflation has benefits. Companies' profits are higher, more money circulating, etc. this is what Powell was probably recently alluding to. He outlines that the real jump in prices and the crippling effects of unexpected inflation typically come 1218 months after the money supply increases.

Let's keep in mind that the first round of COVID stimulus was about 18 months ago, and the most recent round of stimulus was now about 6-7 months ago.

So, of course the price of cotton hadn't gone up much by fall 2020. The increased money supply hadn't had a chance to ripple thoroughly through the economy yet.

Folks, I fear we are only beginning to see the effects of this. Additionally, there is an increasingly popular theme that the Feds are tweaking the CPI through some clever adjustments. My guess is actual inflation is probably close to 8-10% or more right now.

I'd be quite happy if actual inflation is 8 to 10%. I fear that in the next couple years, 8 to 10 will be a drop in the bucket. There is also the supply chain crisis looming. Why the F are 100's of cargo ships at sea, not unloading? The perfect storm is not far away.

Yikes….you could be right. We saw like 10-12% in the late 70s and it was a nightmare. I was trying to put a high number that didn't come across as non-sensical. Maybe we're already close to 15%. This is very sad. Lots of folks gonna suffer.

As to the port situation, my guess is it's also an effect of inflation. No one wants to unload the ships at the current wage. Cost of goods going up, but no one can afford them now. Will cut into profits. Predictable effect.

Let me ask a more practical question then….what should I do with my 401K?

Previously, I had it split with some large and small cap indexes, SPY, REIT's, etc.

Where is the place to hide my money, if indeed we are right? The portfolio only allows for 10% REIT's. Where to put the rest…..corporate bonds, government bonds, SPY, or where?

Asking because I'm sure it's probably gonna contract, and I'm just trying to limit how much it's gonna give back.

Thanks in advance.

Briefly discussed yes. Definitely some PR spin mixed with the delay. They've added new customers to the list of sign offs they're looking for which is good, but delaying their results.

Monday Macros

Volatility Overnight...Risk Off... Treasury Bear Steepening...Powell? Evergrande

There was lots of volatility in the overnight trading...US equity futures rallied early to be met by negative headlines after Evergrande was suspended trading in Hong Kong... US equity futures went from up 20 at 9 PM to down 30 by 3.30 am... They have made a bounce since New York has started to drift in, but still down about 17 currently... Treasuries are trading differently ,less a FTQ and more negatively... They started the overnight at 1.45 and have risen steadily in yields to 1.49. The yield curve continues to steepen out as fears of a default continue to grind higher... Of course the US won't default but that has not stopped US Sovereign CDS to spike 80% in the last month from 10 to 17.94... And caused Fitch to warn about a possible downgrade... This headlines historically cause the short end to do better and the long end to due worse, hence , a steepening.. The 5/30 curve is 112, well beyond the recent range of 94 to 108...

Here are this weeks issues for volatility...

1) US CDS has spiked on threats of default...
2) Fitch has threatened a downgrade to US treasury debt
3) Inflation and supply chain spikes continue...DHL raises prices 5.9%
4) Fed tapering continues to make it way through market pricing
5) The Powell reappointment looks increasingly less likely with Barron's doing a piece " Why Powell Could be Out at the Fed and What it Means for Markets"
6) Employment Number at the end of the week... Consensus at 470,000... We see two credible sources at 700 (MS) and BI at 750,000... We clearly take the over...
7) Evergrande being suspended by HK this morning on the announcement that Hopson ( another Chinese Billionaire) is taking a major asset of the company

We expect major volatility this week as the first week of October is generally risk off... And we see no reason to change that view for this week... Treasuries should be in a range of 1.42 to 1.56... But the key levels are a bit wider... 10 years has major resistance at 1.38... And mild support at 1.60... We don't see the latter to be challenged until the employment report, assuming we are correct about a much higher number than expectation... But there will also be some yield curve heroics... As the default gets closer expect the curve to get steeper... Again, we expect Congress to come to their senses about some "kick the can down the road "...
Inflation and supply chains continue to plague corporations.. Clearly they are able to push through price increases. And we hope the new Merck drug will alleviate supply chains in the future, but for now it looks awful... And expect housing and rent costs to make its way through PCE to force the Fed to taper quickly and raise rates sooner than expected.

The Fed... The longer Biden waits to reappoint Powell the more it looks like Biden will appoint someone else... And with Rosengren and Kaplan resigning last week, the credibility of the Fed has been questioned... Now we see over the weekend that Clarida moved money out of a bond fund into equities right before the key speech of Powell back in March of 2020... We don't think Clarida did anything wrong, but the constant leak of Fed Governor trading looks like a strategy of forcing Biden to appoint someone else to the Fed... Even if Biden appoints the dovish of the doves, the Fed will be tapering next month and raising rates in the near future, but the uncertainty of a new name will be difficult for markets to trust...

DHL raised shipping rates 6% and SNAP has been increased by 25%. I think a lot of us will be dialing back our spending significantly in the next couple months.

Some of the issue is Covid protocols + Union Workers (and a desire by the union not to use nom-union to meet the labor gap) limiting capacity. Union rules could be suspended by Biden, but that isn't happening

I respectfully disagree. Just because you pull out for a season doesn't mean you're pulling out forever.

Maybe I just got lucky, but I've only pulled my money out once ever, and that was in early March 2020 when both technicals and the news cycle were screaming for pain.

It was only a slightly positive move for me financially, because I was cautious getting back in, but psychologically it was 100% worth it.

That said, right now I'm keeping my money in.

I read this weekend that the Port of Los Angeles has one crane running out of three. It's for no other reason than union bull*****

And Biden's happy to bend the knee to those asshats.

The head of the longshoreman union actually told the LA Times he thought they could work something out if they met with the head of the Fed. Nothing but empty and open extortion. I'm actually surprised that Comrade Biden hasn't caved on that Fed meeting request and thrown them $100 an hour or something comical.
