Today I Want to talk about how the banks are now not only predicting a market crash, but they're even preparing for one. They very quickly change their tune from soft Landing to crash worse than 2008. So stay tuned and let's make some money. And now I'll drive straight in with the key information.

So Bob Mitchelly JP Morgan's Chief investment officer was on Bloomberg a few days ago talking about the Fed's emergency bailout facility and the liquidity crisis in Banks Bob Mitchelly specifically mentioned Truest Bank and How likely they are to collapse and also mentioned that a big bank is betting. The Vix could go to 180 points. First, let's explain what the Vix actually is and explain what a prediction of 180 points would actually mean for the market. So the Vix is a volatility index tracker that effectively tracks a volatility in the S P 500.

Basically, it tracks how fast the market is moving downwards or how strong and how convicted the market is when upwards. During Panic scenarios such as March of 2020 and late 2008, the Vix spikes. When the market crashes. Back in March of 2020, the Vix spiked to 66 points and hit intraday highs around 80 points.

But back in 2008, the Vix spiked to around 80 points and hit intraday highs of around 100 points. Considering some Traders or a big Bank specifically is betting the Vix will go to 180 points. That means they're expecting a crash worse than 2008 and 2020.. they're expecting the market to crash faster and harder.

Almost twice as fast and twice as hard than 2008 as you can see from this article, it says some Traders bet wall Street's fear gauge is due for a 1 100 jump. This actual confirmed bet implies the Vix will reach unprecedented highs now I Wonder what kind of other stocks will reach unprecedented highs if the Vix jumps to 180 points? It says the trade shortly after the start of regular Market hours last Thursday implies that Vix will climb 1 100 in the next five months and it says the same Trader or others have opened and more than twenty thousand contracts of open interest in Vix December options with the same strike price and it says if the Vix does the unthinkable and hits 180 points, then the options will be considered in the money. thus worth something. and somebody somewhere makes a lot of money.

And obviously, if you've seen tweets from unusual worlds who often tweets about unusual options activity, somebody somewhere always knows something. And as Robert tweeted, he said it seems the Apes were right all along because this article says that hedge fund bets could spark turmoil in U.S treasuries. You can currently get a guaranteed free share of Tesla or of Google and up to 15 free shares on top of that worth up to two thousand dollars each, which you could always use to buy more shares of AMC GameStop or of any other stock.

They've got tons of technical indicators and advanced charting tools and their own options trading platform. Because short positions in the two-year treasury Futures reached record highs in August Again, this article isn't written years ago talking about August Many years ago, this article was written yesterday and it says a buildup of leveraged bets has the potential to dislocate trading in a 25 trillion dollar U.S Treasury Market.

And it says the current buildup of Leverage short positions in U.S Treasury Futures is a financial vulnerability worth monitoring because the margin spirals it could potentially trigger. You'll know in my video earlier I Mentioned that some of these major banks have absolutely ridiculous leverage ratios. You'll remember these leveraged positions were in derivatives, many of which were derivatives on the treasury's market like treasury futures. So even small movements like a two, three, four, or five percent movement in treasuries could end up liquidating a major Bank like Goldman Sachs And obviously small movements can lead to larger movements with the help of margin.

D Leveraging Saying margin D Leveraging if disorderly has the potential to dislocate core fixed income markets. Basically, these hedge funds are taking up massive leverage shorts in U.S treasuries. But if the U.S treasury start moving up, these shorts will have to unwind their short positions, pushing the market up even higher and that unwinding of the short position or deleveraging of the margin they are using AK Reducing that leverage could be disorderly and potentially this could be the trigger that sees the vix Skyrocket to 180 points making this one big bank or one Trader Tons and tons of money. But I also wanted to show you this video from 2020 explaining how Citadel should have gone bankrupt back then.

this is obviously before January of 2021 explaining Citadel should have gone bankrupt long before. If you know that when it goes tits up on you, when the trade goes bad on you, they're going to come bail you out, right? I Mean look at Ken Griffin Right, he runs Citadel Okay, he should have been bankrupt. He should have been banking. He should have been bankrupt.

But but I've been told by a good source could be wrong. but it's a good source as you know. Ben Bernanke is on his Board of advisors Ben Bernanke is paid 20 million dollars a year by by Seville that's what I've been told I Don't know if it's true, it's a rumor, but it would make sense because when the things flipped in March of 2020, he was just GameStop Uh no I mean he may have been involved there too I don't know his role. There was another firm that were backed up after GameStop because they were possibly yeah I'm not as familiar with that one but but but but going back to the you know the the when the you know when when we went into a crash in March of 2020 you know I there were swap lines given to these guys.

You know the risperity trade was protected. you know very much like what happened over here when when all your you know LTI stuff blew up right? Yeah, yeah or is this what happened with Silicon Valley Bank Well that's a whole nother story. So that was basically saying that Citadel should have gone bankrupt back in March of 2020 obviously during the pandemic. but they received swap lines and Loans from the Fet, effectively once again being rescued when they really should have just been left and hung out to dry.

But as Biotech Moves tweeted, he said ultimately we will win because shorting a company that is not going bankrupt is she a stupidity He said right now nothing will happen until AMC reaches a Tipping Point with its profits saying movie and merch, revenue is increasing and debt is being repaid and AMC will eventually flip. And he said at that point when AMC is making money hand over fist in terms of profits, the street will go long AMC and nothing will save the shortest. Yes, we know Citadel has orchestrated a massive short position on AMC likely to the tune of tens of billions of dollars, obviously shorting the flow multiple times over. But obviously when other Wall Street firms like BlackRock and Vanguard come in not with tens of billions of dollars, but with hundreds of billions of dollars, those shorts will be hung out to dry.

You have to remember that even though you Citadel it's big, they're not that big in the grand scheme of things. And speaking of those firms like Vanguard and BlackRock, they held all the way to the all-time high and have held ever since and Vanguard have just bought more shares on the 31st of August 2023. you can see from this chart, institution started buying in back in June of 2023 and have pretty much increased their positions ever since. Yes, we can see this drop off, but that was obviously with Antares selling tons of their shares, but specifically Vanguard and BlackRock have added even more.

Vanguard and BlackRock continue buying up more and more shares and as Biotech Moves tweeted, he said at some point it will flip. At some point BlackRock and Vanguard will decide they hold so many shares of AMC that the stock must go upwards and burn the shorts on the way now. Finally, I Also want to talk about this tweet from Hang Loose about the new AMC proposals. There's a variety of different proposals.

One, two A, and 2B are all to do with changing directors. Around three is to eliminate the prohibition against stockholders acting by written consent, Four is to remove the limitation on stockholders ability to call special meetings, Number six is to reappoint the Auditors and number eight is just a housekeeping proposal in case they have any additional proposals in the future. Now all of those ones I would agree to, but there's actually two I'm inclined to disagree with the first one is around compensation of named executive directors I haven't actually seen the details, but I don't really think those directors need any more pay Rises And the other one, which is specifically what Hang Loose touches on, is proposal number five. Number five is to expand the exculpation provision to limit the liability of certain officers.

But as Hang Loose tweeted, he said, why is a proposal being created to make AMC board members safe from being sued from wrongdoing He said, if these directors just don't do anything wrong, they've got nothing fear about. But seeing them wanting such protection makes it seems like they're going to need it for some reason in the future. But he says and I say we should keep them accountable. Obviously I can't advise you how to vote on these proposals.

That's a decision you need to make alone. But I Do think Hang Loose raises a great point, which is, if they don't plan on doing anything wrong, why do they need to be exempt from liability? But guys, be sure to let me know what you think down in the comments below. And as always, guys, be sure to ding that notification Bell because that way you'll be alerted when upload a new video. Cheers!.
