After hitting a low of USD $1760 during Sydney’s trading session on Friday, Gold recovered back above $1800 this week before US Bond yields spiked again send us back to USD $1,770. Silver continued to track sideways for now, just under $USD $28 per ounce. A very noticeable increase in demand for physical metals on Friday lead to Perth Mint being sold out on the majority of cast bars this week.

The pick up in physical demand coincided with the low in gold and metals recovered soon after. There is a lot of action in financial markets right now and we will cover some of the most ‘bubbly’ themes we can see right now. It seems that there is a chance that a number of assets are topping out simultaneously, which could mean we have a very volatile few weeks ahead for cryptocurrency and equity markets.

It is a scary thought to think of how many new investors are entering financial markets for the first time in 2021. What must seem normal today in the eyes of a first-time investor is actually not normal at all from a historical perspective. The time we are in right now is one of extreme greed, irrational exuberance, and a complete disregard to risk. The riskiest financial assets have been the most popular for investors the past few years, so have naturally had the best performance due to money flows. The stocks with no earnings but plenty of blue sky hopes and dreams have outperformed boring old tried and tested business models with consistent profits. Profit in 2021 has a negative effect on share price performance. It is better to have no earnings at all, that way the millions of uneducated investors can’t see a P/E ratio on their Robinhood Trading App and therefore have no way to value the stock accurately. $100 million? $1 billion? $100 Billion? if the P/E = 0 in either case then the market cap doesn’t matter, it’s all about momentum.

Is The Bubble Finally Bursting?

But what happens when momentum finally runs out of steam?

The market we are in today is completely dominated by animal spirits. Fundamentals are dead, no one cares about value investing anymore, it’s all about past performance driving newer more clueless investors into what has been winning versus what is undervalued. For those that have not come across the Ark Invest fund as yet, this is the pinnacle of a future focused fund that invests in ‘innovation’, or ‘disruption’ and the poster child of an irrational market. The fund invests in technology focused companies including Tesla, but also has very large positions in smaller or medium cap companies. Valuation is not part of their investment thesis, it’s more about finding ‘the next big thing’.

Due to having great performance during this latest bubble in equities, the fund has seen an absolutely huge number of inflows from retail investors worldwide in the past year and has swollen to $55 billion in funds under management, up form only $3 billion this time last year. In Korea they refer to the founder and CEO as ‘money tree’ due to the funds seemingly endless winning performance. Regardless of the company’s investment strategy, if you invest in small to mid-cap companies and you see over $50 Billion of inflows in under a year, then you are going to have cracking performance by default. However, if the type of investors that piled into the fund in 2020 are not long-term focused and are chasing quick gains, then you could expect equally as bad future performance should we see a mass exodus when the momentum ends.
