------------------------------

Sentiment Trader sees Investor money is hemorrhaging out of global stock funds at a pace not seen since just after the financial crisis exploded.

Global equity funds have seen outflows of $12.4 billion in June, a level not seen since October 2008, according to market research firm TrimTabs. Lehman Brothers collapsed in September of that year, triggering the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression and helping fuel a bear market that would see major indexes lose more than 60 percent of their value.

The most recent exodus, which includes exchange-traded and mutual funds, comes amid worries that the much-touted synchronized global expansion is running out of gas, as well as some unwinding of what had been a hugely successful trade in emerging market stocks.

The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF, which tracks the group, surged more than 18 percent in a five-month span from July 2017 to January 2018, but has given back a big chunk of those gains in 2018 and is down about 10.3 percent year to date. By comparison, the S&P 500 has risen nearly 1 percent during a volatile 2018, while the Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund, which tracks global equities minus the U.S., is off more than 6.5 percent this year.
. This is quite interesting. 





As the emerging market and non-U.S. trade has unwound and fears have intensified over a trade war, investors have fled global stocks and returned to the U.S., where funds have seen $6.3 billion in inflows. The iShares emerging market ETF has seen $5.4 billion in outflows in June, the most of any fund, according to ETF.com.

"U.S. dollar strength and persistent underperformance seem to be driving fund investors away from non-U.S. equities," TrimTabs said in a note.

Interestingly, one of the regions suffering the lowest level of investor fear is China, where funds have seen a net inflow of $150 million even though the nation's main stock index has plunged into a bear market, defined as 20 percent below its most recent high.

For investors, then, the main question may be whether the outflows elsewhere are signaling something more ominous or are merely setting up another buying opportunity as valuations get cheaper.

"Cumulative flows for the year [across asset classes] are still up [thanks] to strong inflows in January. Russia and [South] Africa are now driving the outflows, as the most crowded markets at the eve of recent weakness," Gabriele Foa, cross asset strategist for emerging markets at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said in a note. "Selected opportunities are emerging thanks to weak levels."

In fact, if the trend holds up through the end of June, it will make the first time global equities have seen net outflows since November 2016, according to TrimTabs.

Investors, however, remain bullish on Latin America, which has seen $30 million in inflows to ETFs in June even though the funds have lost 10 percent in June and more than 25 percent since May.

Billionaire investor Jim Mellon Sharp sell-off in US stocks is the start of a very major correction


Billionaire investor Jim Mellon Sharp sell-off in US stocks is the start of a very major correction

"Billionaire investor Jim Mellon Sharp sell-off in US stocks is the start of a very major correction" 

in the news Billionaire investor Jim Mellon Sharp sell-off in US stocks is the start of a very major correction? What this all about..... See below. 

------------------------------

Freshly announced trade tariffs from the White House may be sending stocks into a tailspin, but a market correction is inevitable even without them, billionaire investor Jim Mellon 

The trade war worries are "certainly having an effect on the market, but the market is reacting because it's already far too expensive," Mellon said. "The U.S. is selling at 32 times cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings (PE) ratio, which is an all-time high. Surely it's time for a major correction anyway."

Mellon is not alone in suggesting that today's stock market is the most overvalued on record — more so than in 1929, 2000 and 2007.

The chairman of asset management fund Burnbrae Group also pointed to over-complacency in markets and disproportionate buying of what he considered to be highly-inflated assets like tech stocks.

And according to the investing mogul, the trade fears are just an excuse for market players who were already looking to sell.

"There has been far too much complacency, far too many buybacks by corporations of their stock which have supported the market, far too much concentration of ownership, particularly in tech stocks in the U.S. And it's time for a very major correction, which is I think what we're embarking on."

Tuesday looks set to be a very rough day for stocks, with the Dow Jones and S&P 500 indexes at risk of losing the majority of their June gains at the open. The S&P has been down for three of the past four days. The Dow has fallen for the past five trading days — and the last time it fell for six straight days was in March 2017.


 This is quite interesting. 


Billionaire investor Jim Mellon Sharp sell-off in US stocks is the start of a very major correction



The sell-off comes as the Donald Trump administration asks the U.S. Trade Representative to identify $200 billion worth of Chinese goods for additional tariffs of 10 percent. This would be in addition to a 25 percent tariff on $50 billion of Chinese products announced Friday, to which China responded with a 25 percent tariff on $34 billion of U.S. goods.

All major European and Asian indexes were lower, with the latter particularly hard-hit — China's Shanghai Composite was down nearly 4 percent, Hong Kong's Hang Seng down nearly 3 percent, and the technology-heavy Shenzhen Composite fell a striking 5.77 percent.

Pointing to the building sell-off, Mellon's outlook was not optimistic. "We've seen in last few days the Dow's gone down, there have been sideways moves, we're almost flat on the year — this is the beginning of a serious correction in my opinion."

'No universal trade war'
The investor's warning came despite his not taking stock in the idea of a trade war.

"I do not think there's going be a universal trade war, because globalization has been so good for everyone, including the U.S., and I'm sure President Trump knows that," Mellon added.

"But he is also a very good negotiator, he's shown that to be the case in the last year or so. So he may force the Chinese to do something about this ridiculous trade imbalance that they've mounted over the years."

America's trade deficit in goods with China hit a record $375 billion in 2017 and continues to widen. Between January and April of this year, China's trade surplus with the U.S. was $80.4 billion.


Still, a minority of economists see this as detrimental to the U.S. economy. American companies operating in China have pointed to unequal market access and poor intellectual property and legal protection as a much larger problem for U.S. business with Beijing

"This Goose is Cooking" 

in the news This Goose is Cooking? What this all about..... See below. 

------------------------------

Sentiment Trader have been watching a particular stock. 

“Expect the unexpected”  Canada Goose says on its website where it sells $995 parkas.

The stock has recently surged by 28% to hit an all-time high above $59 a share in early morning trading, bringing its total return to 275% in the past year.


 This is quite interesting. 





A great chart so one to watch....

Investors do not really realize that a booming economy and stock market are great for companies such as Canada Goose as people who will never cross the Arctic Circle can spend up big on its clothing. That is particularly the case if its customers invested in its shares. They needed to cash in 57 of them last August to buy a parka while it only took 17 on Friday morning.

shareholders of the luxury clothing seller were a bit depressed, and did not expect  a huge surge in its RECENT online sales in the profitable quarter it reported on Friday. Analysts had warned and called for a loss the last few weeks, but that did not turn out to be true with the company raking in huge profits and sales the last few quarters, and chart is a gem.

SEC Says Bitcoin And Ethereum Are Not Securities?



SEC Says Bitcoin And Ethereum Are Not Securities 



It was a bloody week for the markets, but at least there’s a bit of good news: an official for the Securities and Exchange Commission has publicly stated that Ether and Bitcoin should not be regulated as securities. The announcement puts to rest months of speculation about a possible ban hammer on the two largest cryptocurrencies.








Speaking at Yahoo Finance’s All Market Summit: Crypto, William Hinman, the Director of Corporate Finance for the SEC, said:

When I look at Bitcoin today, I don’t see a central third party whose efforts are key factor to determining the success of that enterprise. The network on which bitcoin functions is operational and appears to have been decentralized for some time….Moreover, putting aside the fundraising that accompanied the creation of Ether, based on my understanding of the present state of Ether, the Ethereum network, its decentralized structure, we believe that current offers and sales of Ether are not securities transactions….”

In the United States, investment contracts are adjudicated by the “Howey Test.” Invesments whose profits depend on the actions of a third party–like stock offerings–are regarded as securities, and are subject to disclosure laws.

These requirements exist for the investors’ protection, Hinman said. “The promoter is liable for misstatements. That’s an important safeguard, and that’s appropriate for many of the ICOs we see.”

However, the distinction gets blurry in the case of decentralized networks, Hinman explained. “If the network on which a token or coin is to function is no longer centralized, and the purchasers no longer have a reasonable expectation that a person or group is going to carry out a central managerial or enterprise effort, those assets might not represent an investment contract.”

Bitcoin, which was not issued in an ICO, was already regarded as a commodity rather than a security, although the statement helps to clarify the situation.

But Ethereum is complicated because of the circumstances of its ICO. Although the token currently has utility, there was some concern that its speculative nature might have caused the SEC to consider it a security. And to muddy the waters further, there was no “single” third party promoter: Ethereum was a community effort, in a way that most contemporary ICOs are not.

His words put an end to months of speculation, in which markets hinged on fears of a regulatory crackdown. The CFTC has repeatedly asked the SEC for clarification on the status of Ether.

While markets are celebrating the news, it may be too early to pop the champagne, especially if you’ve got large investments in ERC-20s. Hinman’s speech emphasized that most initial coin offerings are securities, and this stance is consistent with the signals from top SEC leadership. “Much of what I have seen in the ICO or token or ICO space, is a security offering” said SEC Chairman Jay Clayton in Atlanta yesterday. “I don’t know how much more clear I can be about it.”

Ripple, which was also distributed in a largely-centralized ICO, remains in limbo. The company behind the third-largest crypto has been accused in several class-action lawsuits of selling the XRP token as an unregistered security.

The markets saw an immediate rally, with ETH seeing a 9.29% gain and BTC rallying 4.75% at the time of writing.

2 Big Investment Themes For 2018 ?



2 Big Investment Themes For 2018



After investors sat out the nearly nine-year bull market, some investors are finally getting back in.

Discount brokerages TD Ameritrade Holdings Corp., E*Trade Financial Corp. ETFC 0.69% and Charles Schwab Corp. reported surges in client activity at the end of 2017 that have accelerated in January. The firms attributed much of the activity to retail, or individual, investors who are opening brokerage accounts for the first time, some of them lured by the boom in cryptocurrency and cannabis investments.

Investors are getting into the psychology and fear of missing out, especially withyounger investors as the stock market keeps hitting new highs.

This rise in interest in some of the riskiest new areas highlights investor optimism that is spurring more trading activity across age demographics and markets. And analysts say the strong trading activity from Ameritrade , results reminiscent of their heady days during the tech-stock boom—suggests people should know the risks.

After retreating from the market in recent years, investors have piled into stocks in recent weeks. They put $33.2 billion into global stock mutual funds and exchange-traded funds in the week through Wednesday, the biggest inflows for any comparable stretch going back to 2002, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Further demonstrating an increasing euphoria, investors have put almost $258 million combined into 10-day-old ETFs that buy companies that have invested in blockchain, the technology behind cryptocurrencies.

We share our secret IDEAS & other great CRYPTO coins in our VIP membership, see below. 




some of the younger clients who are trading, have huge interest in the highly speculative areas of cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, and cannabis.

people want to get in on the bull market action before it ends and is more versed and interested in cryptocurrencies and “pot” investments than older investors.

But the craze hasn’t been limited to millennials. “I’m seeing thousands of percentage points of returns,” said William Starr, 58, an information-technology manager in Roseburg, Ore., of his investments in cryptocurrencies.

Over the past year or so, the three main U.S. stock indexes have surged to record after record. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, for instance, in 2017 alone ran from 20000 to 26000, setting records for speed in hitting 1,000-point increments. Stock gains, however, pale in comparison to gains in cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, which was up around 1,400% last year.

“Crypto and cannabis…volumes have been up huge,” E*Trade Chief Executive Karl Roessner said Friday on the firm’s fourth-quarter earnings call with analysts and investors. Despite the bitcoin-futures offering not being “a material offering,” Mr. Roessner said about a 10th of daily average revenue trades—a key metric for brokerages—has so far this month been blockchain- or pot-related.

As a sign of the growing interest of younger investors in crypto and cannabis, the no-commission investment app Robinhood said it would begin letting customers directly buy and sell bitcoin and Ethereum without any added transaction fees starting in February.  Coinbase’s fees of 1.5% to 4% in the U.S. Late last year, which investors are growing to hate.

Even bigger funds are dipping into crypto and cannabis as new opportunities that are attracting clients.

The spreading euphoria could mark a new phase of a long a rally that many investors are just getting in on. Engagement levels are high even excluding those areas, strong interest in speculative cryptocurrency and cannabis markets.

The question for many analysts and investors now becomes whether surging retail trading and interest in nascent, highly speculative markets are signs that the market is overvalued. SENTIMENT TRADER is unsure about whether these are the “earlier days of a new cycle as economic growth picks up, or “the later days of a nine-year bull market.” Time will surely tell.

Major bank CEOs say blockchain will underpin the financial industry in five years


Major bank CEOs say blockchain will underpin the financial industry in five years

"Major bank CEOs say blockchain will underpin the financial industry in five years" 

in the news Major bank CEOs say blockchain will underpin the financial industry in five years? What this all about..... See below. 

------------------------------

Sentiment Trader has been getting involved with blockchain, but this technology could soon revolutionize the global banking industry, according to the chief executives of two major European lenders.

Banks have invested millions in developing blockchain applications in recent years, as part of a broader industry effort to try to cut costs and simplify their back-office processes. The technology, which is perhaps better known as the software powering cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, was initially treated with skepticism by international lenders.

However, the use of blockchain in the banking industry is increasingly viewed as a proficient way of reducing the risk of fraud, with some banks now hailing its potential.

"So, if you look at blockchain… I think the banks are really working on this now because the potential is so huge and if the top five, six global banks would put their minds to it and agree on a standard, you could force (that) standard onto the globe," Ralph Hamers, chief executive of ING Group, told CNBC'S Arjun Kharpal at the Money 2020 fintech conference in Amsterdam on Monday.



"And I think that you can actually then get to a timeframe of five or six years in which this will work," he added.

'Huge promise'

Rather than a centralized system, blockchain allows multiple parties to have simultaneous access to a constantly updated ledger that cannot be changed. That makes cheating the system by faking documents, transactions or any types of information, nearly impossible.

  "We believe there is huge promise in blockchain. It is early times in this technology but it can bring about more efficient processes,"

When asked whether he was as optimistic as ING's Hamers in predicting that blockchain technology could be rolled out throughout the industry over the next five years, Torres Vila replied: "I am, I think it does have that promise and I think that timeframe should be about right… but we will see how it develops."
