Dead Market TheoryICE BofAML U.S. Bond Market Option Volatility Estimate IndexTVC:MOVEMonetaryRebelIt is rather astounding that markets have not meaningfully responded to the current bond market sell-off and yields breaking to new highs. Complacency is too soft of a term for what we are seeing here today. The "Dead Internet" theory is highly supported at this point. Bots and algorithms make up ~90% of the trades placed in markets today. Think about that. Many historically significant market cycles appear to have broken especially since 2020-2022, right around when Ai really started taking hold. Jeffrey Gundlach noted this a few months ago and it makes sense if you consider what makes (or rather, made) a market. In the past it was people. People are animals. Creatures of the day and night that have cycles. Sleep cycles, hunger cycles, hormone cycles, etc. Life cycles in particular helped mark the saeculum. The people and their cycles were the market forces, therefore the market displayed cyclical behavior to some extent. Growth and death. But now..... it is machines. That don't eat, or sleep, or love, or cry. We are told that machines are more "efficient", but I'm not seeing efficiency here. I see blindness. I see pathological manipulation. I see suffering. Because of course the machines are blind, have no pathology, and do not know suffering. The machines do not have a hierarchy of needs. Please understand that your money = your vote The places you invest, help decide the future. To invest in something merely on the basis of future expected earnings or growth potential is short-sighted at best... What about your growth potential? Will you outsource that to the machines as well?
