Welcome back to the channel everyone today i want to talk about peter schiff and what he believes is the incoming market crash. I also want to talk about how cool options are being manipulated on amc and gamestop and how they have been for months. So stay tuned and let's make some money - and i want to dive straight in with the key information, so peter schiff, tweeted, saying if markets and the economy roll over the fed will have a very unpleasant choice to make. They can either worsen inflation, with more stimulus to rescue the markets and the economy or fight inflation.

It can't do both and he said it's hard to believe the fed would pick the inflation hill to die on basically, meaning that he does not think the fed will provide additional stimulus and rescue the markets and the economy. Now, if we head on over to look at the vix we can see the vix was up 54 today from around 18 points to 28 points. So this is the highest we've seen the vix since around january of 2021, higher than february of 2021 and higher than every single month in 2021. So far, based obviously on the potential new pandemic strain, but we're still a far way away from what we saw in march of 2020 when the vix hit 66 points lower than june of 2020 lower than october of 2020 and so on.

But obviously you can't deny that is an absolutely massive spike in the vix. If you didn't already know the vix is the volatility index, basically showing the volatility in the market and how close we are to a market crash now. Obviously, if you also didn't know, inflation is currently sitting at 6.2 percent over the past year, which is obviously higher than we saw back in 2008 when inflation only topped out at 5.6. Obviously, inflation is bad for the economy as it means there's runaway prices in the market.

Therefore, the fed obviously wants to curb inflation by raising interest rates and stopping fed purchasing. But obviously, as peter schiff says, if there is a new pandemic strain, the fed will want to provide additional stimulus to rescue those markets and the economy. And we want to cut interest rates even lower as peter schiff says, it's a double-edged sword and they can't do both. They can't fight inflation and raise interest rates while providing additional stimulus and cutting interest rates.

You will have also seen that the s p 500 is down 2.7 on a day over the last month. This looks quite disastrous, but over the last two years this does look like a very, very small dent in the s p. 500.. I think, ultimately, we'll have to see how this plays out over the next few weeks and also what happens with this potential new strain of the pandemic and whether it really takes a hold on the us and the rest of the world.

We could just be in. For a similar small pullback, like we saw through october or potentially, we could be in for another march-like crash or potentially even a 2008 like crash. If you didn't already know, i personally use blockfy to invest in cryptocurrency. Not only can you just buy some bitcoin, but you can also earn interest on your deposits also paid in cryptocurrency up to 9.5 per year, so you can continue to accumulate more and more and more bitcoin.

Instead of having to sell off your bitcoin or your shiba inu or your loot print or anything else, you can take out a crypto backed loan. Therefore, you don't have to miss the next run up, but you can still get cash to meet your monthly bills or buy a new car or go on holiday or whatever. It might be so be sure to send up to block five using the link in the description below something, i think is very interesting to look at is the value of assets on the balance sheet of the federal reserve from august 2007 to november of 2021.

We can see here. Obviously the value of assets has increased significantly since 2007, only really dipping in 2018 and 2019, but now hitting a new high of around 8.7 trillion dollars. We can obviously see this spike in the fed purchases in march of 2020, but obviously the fed has continued to make purchases and has continued to pump money into the economy ever since and has not really pulled back either relating this back to amc, i do think It's important to stop with the its manipulation and it's an attack on amc posts. It's the entire market that crashed today or had a small drop, not just amc, and if anything, i do think this pullback in the s p.

500 is potentially a catalyst for amc. In the long run, obviously, if the wider market crashes, then these hedges and institutions are going to have to sell off all of their long positions and cover their short positions. To avoid or meet margin calls, therefore, meaning they're going to have to cover their amc shorts. As billy says, on reddit, this massive 4 a.m - black friday sell-off, is in our favor and here's why he said.

No retail investors are selling off massive quantities at 4am on a friday where most people in the us are sleeping in spending time with their families and more no one is selling, and he said when margin calls happen. Assets need to be liquidated. You have to remember that not every hedge fund is shorting amc in the same way, some might be shorting other stocks and long on amc, just like i've told you about in my recent videos, there's tons and tons of institutions that have been adding heavily to their Amc positions, these same institutions could also potentially be shorting some stocks that did very very well today, like moderna and therefore needed to sell off some of their long possessions, like amc, in order to meet those margin, calls or top up their other short positions and as Billy said the massive movement we're seeing right now is possibly them liquidating. Meme stocks, they're long on to increase their capital or to meet margin, requirements for other short positions or for other stocks, either way at the end of the day, have the shorts close their positions? The answer is obviously a resounding no and therefore nothing has changed, and now i also wanted to talk about the total destruction of the call options chain and how the call options chain has been manipulated for months now.

As a too long didn't read, hedges are still screwed, retail is holding more shares than ever, but fewer options now since january and since june - and he starts by saying thomas pettafee spoke the truth. I was thinking about the thomas, petty interview a while back, and he had some interesting things to say about the open interest in options for gamestop and for amc as well. If you haven't already seen the interview he says there was over 270 million shares of exposure on gamestop 150 million shares in options alone for a stock that only had a float of 50 million shares at the time. The results would have been catastrophic and the poster said.

So i wonder how that's changed as of today. How have call options changed over the last few months? Is there more call options, less call options? Is there more shares being held or less shares being held? So he says i pulled the open interest data for the last year. He paid a few dollars for a premium service to get that data. What i found was actually quite shocking.

Apes are holding their shares and apes are not selling, but when it comes to options, the story is completely different. It's impossible to hold options because they expire, and he says here he wants to specifically talk about call options in the event of a moass. Obviously put options have absolutely no value and they go to zero. So we can ignore them.

Call options, on the other hand, become incredibly dangerous to hedges, as those call options can be exercised or converted to cash at the current share price and therefore it's obviously in their best interest for the hedges to get rid of as many open call options as possible. Prior to the mother of all short squeezes, we can see the open interest for call. Options on gamestop has decreased significantly since january to november you'd, see something fairly similar with amc as well, but obviously with a big spike, potentially even higher in june. So he then goes on to talk about how the hedge funds are manipulating the options chain.

Obviously they hype the price of amc and gamestop up, causing us to buy options and then obviously smash the price down and those options expire worthless. But actually they go one step further, it's actually the short hedgies that cover some of their short positions to hype. The price of amc and gamestop up the hedges cover a very, very small portion of their shorts, which pushes the price up and pushes up the cost of the call options as well. This obviously entices regular retail investors to buy call options when they're at their most expensive points, then obviously they short more shares those shares they just covered to push the price down and to make those cool options worthless when the price of the amc gamestop stock is On the way up the amount of value the options increase by is minimized, but on the way down, the destruction of option value is maximized.

This means that the hedges can minimise their losses when the price is going up and maximize their gains. When the price is going down every week and every month they try and get as many lemmings onto the boat as possible. With those weekly call options, all those cool options that expire in literally a day or two before they sink the ship we can see here. This is why the number of call options increases and then gets smashed down increases again and then gets smashed down increases again smash down so on and so forth.

Every week options expire and we've seen them bring the price action down to maximum pain. Time and time again, every week, more and more cool options expire, reducing the total amount of expulsion exposure that they have, but obviously the hedges are still screwed, because there is simply no way for them to get the apes to sell their actual shares. Yes, options may expire and they can make money jerking the price action around every week and every month, but they cannot make us sell our shares ever. The best thing they can do is get the open calls down as low as possible over the last 10 months.

They've succeeded and we're currently at less than a hundred thousand open options right now for gamestop, but they still have to cover the 500 to 700 million naked shorts on gamestop and 500 million to potentially 2 billion or more naked shorts on amc and therefore knowing their Options and price strategy: we can at least defend ourselves against it, don't sit on options that expire this week or in a few days, so don't yolo into those weeklies. The best way to combat it is to buy the dip and buy some actual shares through lit exchanges. If you do want to buy options, don't buy options, they expire in two days time or in a week's time, buy options with a much longer expiry, and i actually kind of want to tie this into what lou said and how it's different. From the video i made earlier, i think what lou is really trying to say is that there's been no real shares available for a long time.

The hedges are just creating synthetic shares in order to fill our buy orders that we're placing on platforms like weeble, for example. People need to buy still, of course, but you need to do it the right way. It's that simple, if you don't do it the right way, you're only arming the opposition, with extra ammo to use against retail if you're buying your shares, not through the lit market and through the dark pool accidentally you're, just giving them more ammo and just freedom to Create more synthetic shares, therefore, if you are going to buy more shares, you need to buy them on lit exchanges or even just buy them directly through computer share and drs, though shares, and we need to stop buying through payment for order flow platforms and effectively just Giving ken griffin and citadel more money and the ability to create more synthetic shares, and now i also wanted to quickly touch on loot print and how ryan cohen might be announcing the partnership between gamestop and lootering in a fairly secretive way. So ryan cohen's tweets have created a countdown pattern since october 31st, on october 31st, ryan tweeted, saying mgga eight days later, on monday november, 8th he tweeted again seven days later on monday november 15th, he tweeted again and six days later on sunday november 21st.

He tweeted again and therefore, if we follow that same pattern, we should see another tweet today on friday, which is five days after the last tweet and then in four more days, another tweet three days, another tweet two days, another tweet and one more day, a final Tweet and therefore we should be seeing game, stopper, ryan cohen, announcing something large on monday december 6th or on tuesday december 7th, maybe the loopering partnership and the gamestop nft platform. Finally, also, let's quickly touch on some breaking news about the energy crisis in the uk as well, because obviously this is also going to impact the uk market, but also, more importantly, the u.s market as well. Two more energy supplies in the uk have just collapsed. There's now 23 companies that have now collapsed since the start of the energy crisis back in august.

This is obviously a massive problem that so many energy companies are going bankrupt in the uk, and it's only a matter of time before companies in the us are also impacted again, as peter schiff said, as i covered right at the start, this video, this just all Adds to the potential coming market crash that could be happening right now, guys be sure to.
