So if Evergrande was warning about liquidity issues a year ago, shouldn't this be priced in?

Shut up, Nick! You're not Twilight.
It was a weird day for me. Of the two possible breakouts I have money in one just kind of hung out doing nothing, the other actually came crashing down and blew past my stop. I decided to be stupid and try to catch the knife on that one and was actually successful. That was a dumb, impulsive move and I got lucky for once. I probably should not do that again.

I had planned to half my position in both stocks tomorrow. Since today was a bit of a wash with lots of external stuff happening I think Ill extend it one day and plan to half my position Tuesday.

The iron ore price has been getting fisted as people now expect some sort of slowdown in Chinese construction and manufacturing. Partly because of some crackdown on pollution but also because there’s plenty of people who think Evergrande is going to spill over into other parts of the construction industry.

Yeah pmchem shared this which also mentions that the spillover from regulation in the construction/real estate industry in china will have dramatic effects on iron/steel companies going forward.

What I'm personally curious about, is the energy crisis mentioned in this thread, which should be affecting russia, china, and the UK? this winter. There's less natural gas available in russia for sure. How can I capitalize on a cold winter? :thunk:

Interesting thread.

One thing I haven't seen getting much press is the shadow banking sector. China bears have been talking about it on and off since the GFC, partly I'm sure because 'shadow' banking has a sinister tone to it (similar to the way journalists love name dropping the dark web). But you also have a somewhat unregulated pool of loans where the creditworthiness of the borrower might not be well understood and contagion might be difficult to trace until it's too late.

I don't know if the CCP has cracked down on it recently so it isn't the potential powder keg it used to be but if not it seems like the sort of thing that could emerge as a big issue here.

Total foreign holdings of Chinese bonds, including government, are about $500 billion. Total foreign holdings of just US corporates in 2019 (can't find current) was $7.5 trillion. I can see a short term panic and a Chinese GFC would definitely affect stuff somehow (commodity prices, supply chains) but I don't see how a financial crisis makes it out of China. I'd guess there have probably already been more overseas losses booked on Chinese tech stocks than there will be on overseas Chinese debt.

e: this https://www.levyforecast.com/bubble-or-nothing/ was a really good read that I’ve been thinking about for a few weeks and have been too lazy to post about but I guess maybe more relevant now

Thanks for sharing that, it's an issue I've been thinking about for a while on the back of Australia's levels of household debt (a mere 210% of GDP currently).

I've also seen first hand the phenomenon he talks about with investors moving into higher risk assets chasing yield. I've recently had a client buy a bunch of corporate bonds; some of them were investment grade (just) but a couple of them were unrated and yielding over 7%. I am certainly no expert on bonds but to me anything yielding that much interest in the current climate is probably fairly risky. Given these clients are retired and in their 80s that seems like a lot of risk to be taking on.

I have also seen a number of clients put money into managed investment schemes. These have been much smaller and less transparent than the typical managed fund and I am not sure the clients really understand what they're getting into. How can you when the portfolio isn't listed anywhere? Most of these clients are retired too, and really should be in lower risk investments but here they are chasing yield.

I’m kinda daunted because I want to write a book in response to the article. Been rereading Minsky on Keynes too, since that’s the intellectual tradition. Couple short random thoughts while phone posting: GDP is a worthless metric that is only a metric because it’s relatively easy to measure.

https://www.yardeni.com/pub/spxratios.pdf

It’s hard to find this data and various sources don’t absolutely agree but the fact that the S&P quick ratio dropped under 1 in early 2007 and held there seems like a huge tell for 2008.

Imagine a tax system that would encourage balance sheet deleveraging and attempt to force cash flows to cover debt obligations. Like tax only assets, not income. Since businesses are household assets you wouldn’t need to tax businesses, either. It’s a complicated exercise but I think it’s possible.

Labor force participation being as low as it is is a complete problem for Keynesian and classical economics and something that you don’t really see discussed except as a curiosity or blaming stimulus, which I don’t think should matter to either really.

You always gotta paint the tape red while the Fed is meeting so they decide the economy is too fragile to taper.

Yesterday might’ve been enough though and Evergrande is a risk and they can’t stop printing money as long as there are risks.

Like some sort of wealth tax?

He touched on the notion of purchasing existing assets being a mostly unproductive and economically worthless transaction a couple of times which I thought was interesting as it is something that has been discussed here in relation to our housing market.

It got me wondering if rather than using the same capital gains tax regime for all assets, if you could tax advantage newly built assets (or new share issues) more than existing assets you would at least encourage stuff to be built. It wouldn't be perfect and I can easily see it being taken advantage of and resulting in something similar to those Chinese ghost cities.

Yeah, more like a wealth tax than taxing capital gains. I don't think you could tax cash holdings either. Since asset prices should be moving up or down in response to anticipated future cash flows when the economy is contracting and asset prices are going down taxes would go down and vice versa which is nice.

I don't necessarily think in general you want to encourage things to be built, the idea should be to limit growth to productive growth. Asset price appreciation isn't actually an economic good in itself it's a symptom of a good outcome (higher anticipated cash flows).
