Graham Stephan’s backing Bonumbit, and it’s still in presale. With Coinbase and Binance launches coming up, I’m expecting a price surge. Copying his trades might just be the smart play here

Apparently, Graham’s vacations are a leading economic indicator. The moment he steps away, the market goes haywire.

Greedy investors used the yens low interest rates and took as much debt as possible. Swapped it to USD (lots of people selling the yen weakens the yen). The investors got greedy and stopped playing it “safe” by buying US bonds or just putting it in a money market and used the leverage to buy into us stocks. US stocks market started freaking out when the recent job market report along with all the poor earnings reports and the fed talking about cutting rates. The dip started triggering margin calls on all the yen and it snowballed. People forced to pay back their loans because they were underwater triggered a domino effect of sell offs in the stock market. The increase in interest rate in Japan and all the margin calls forcing people to buy the yen both strengthens the yen. Saying Japan is at fault here is not true, greedy investors are to blame (again!). Great video though.

You get these videos out very fast. Super locked-in. This was epic.

[manishrai]

I think this format of only posting when something new has occurred in the financial markets is a good thing, and helps with your channel appearing too repetitive. I love this change in your uploads

[jamesbang]

And buffet has 227 billion ready to buy the pieces that are left 😂😂😭😭😭😭

Japan is a nation of savers. If we did the same, instead of over-extending ourselves on credit, we would have very slow growth as well, which is what the markets do not want. Japan is not on the verge of collapse, just because the 80's bubble popped. Japanese citizens are not destitute, but because they aren't producing multibillionaires every month we scoff at them. We say they've been in a recession going on 50 years now. Does that make sense? Our normal does not have to be theirs. They provide healthcare for their citizens, and infrastructure to be admired. The only thing stressing them is a lack of places to live, because they are an island.

Any time someone sells a large amount, right before a huge drop, an investigation needs to star for insider trading

[chandlerredhead]

Japan has also been warning everyone that they were going to take this action for months though, so it wasn't some big surprise. They drew a line in the sand at 160 conversion rate, and the Japanese are sure as hell going to follow through on what they say they're going to do.

I was looking for someone to explain what going on with the stock market. You nailed it !! Easy to understand. I appreciate you a lot!! Love your video!😊

[paisano]

Dude, it feels like I’m back in my college Econ classes listening to your takes. Good stuff.

[jigames]

Buffet is a big player and has inside info. Rest of us are just getting robbed at this point.

[AvalosTokyo]

The quality of this upload despite the rushed late night content is a statement to the value your channel brings. Thanks.

“The market is down” is just how white guys say “Mercury is in retrograde”

I love how people are finally realizing that businesses weren’t actually hiring and now they’re just confirming it, but this has been known for most of the year

[heyjavey]

You and Kevin covered the Yen/USD dynamics while all the news outlets only stoked recession fears. Thank you for doing what you do!!

[joanneward]

Best explanation of the yen dollar reaction over the last few days I've seen. Thanks

This is the best breakdown I've watched on this saga
