Here is a bit of a reality check chart for you all - one we must all be aware of. 
The most interesting part is the 08 crash hardly looks like anything compared to where we can potentially go!!
The volume is huge as retirement & retail investment funds must have unloaded. 

Another interesting thing is the 2018 crash happened when the fed mentioned about tightening. 
I dont know if they did or not - I don't think so, but we are in the same territory & they are doing as they say. 
Makes sense to crash a system thats at its highs than wait for it to go lower,
& stagflation to take hold with all the socio-political nasties that can come from it. 

Another interesting thing I can see is that Bitcoin was potentially breaking out & the 2018 Fed announcement crashed it. 
I would make a good guess this could happen in the next few months if the fed carry on.
so many normal people i know are invested now believing or wishing the hype & don't realise its directed correlated to the equities. 

Im not expert but this is interesting at least. Human nature does not change - so it should repeat.

Money has been flowing into gold funds, but not gold miner funds. Helps to explain why the gold miners have been lagging behind.

Trying to get it through to my mum that her 'investment' in the stock market needs to be managed or sold. 
that she knows literally zero about it but is realising that she needs to at least needs to look at it. 
She was negative during the covid crash & was happy it went positive again when they started dishing out free money.  
All she knows is its a 'safe investment' & my suspicions is that Mr Roschild has put it on FTSE trackers and is using her money to make lot more elsewhere.

The Fed curtailing its purchase of US bonds is leading to a major reduction in the liquidity of the bond market. The US government bond market is one of the largest and most liquid in the world, so if it seizes up, the consequences will be serious.

This chart flatters gold somewhat, because at the start of the century the dotcom boom was close to its peak.

Euro has sank to a 20y low against the US Dollar as investors pared bets on ECB interest-rate hikes given the growing risk of a recession in the region. (Euro fell as much as 0.9% to 1.0331, its weakest level since December 2002.)

This diagram is taken from an official report of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which is a bureau within the US Treasury Dept. The figures for Q1 2022 show a sharp increase in the size of precious metals contracts. These are mostly paper contracts and derivatives, and are what banks use to control the price of gold.

This shows that Wall Street is constantly expecting inflation to revert to the 2% that we have had since the 1990s.
