Episode notes
S&P 500 Ponzi Scheme
- The S&P 500 is a ponzi scheme because of money printing and passive investing.
- Algorithmic and passive trading dominate the market, distorting valuations.
Monetary Premium Distortion
- Breaking money's store-of-value function incentivizes moving purchasing power into other assets.
- This creates distortions, like monetary premiums on commodities and equities.
Equity Valuation Distortion
- Distortions in fixed income markets affect equity valuations due to manipulated interest rates.
- The traditional methods of valuing equity using risk-free rates and cash flow become distorted.
