Going Short the Market. No Long Dissertation, No Rush. Market Risk Has Appeared, With Minimal Upside, So Time To Act.
The uncertainty created by SVB Bank, could create months of declining markets. We’re not looking for a hiding place, we’re looking for a way to make money.
EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT
From LTCM to Enron to Lehman Bros, all the major crisis started somewhere that initially seemed to be manageable but ultimately morphed into a major systemic issue.
The stage for the perfect storm has been set.
The cruelty of the situation is that a bank like SVB can literally fail even if they hold 100% nominally risk-free assets that are guaranteed to be paid back in full and was careful not to diversify in lower credit.
But let’s delve deeper into the situation of the US banking system and the potential consequences of the crisis (Maxin Advisors).
So we’re bearish, but we’re still long our ‘special situations,’ as in we’re up 257% today alone, in Provention Bio (PRVB) and up an rather impressive 416% from adding it to 2022 Watch List less than a year ago.
We’re up a less impressive 75 % from adding to 2021 Watch List.
And the hits keep coming..
July 2022: Adding Provention Bio (PRVB) $4.60 to 2022 Biotech Watch List.
March 2021: Provention Bio (PRVB) $13.51 Added to Biotech Six Pack.
