  1. 0:00The entire Wall Street is currently
  2. 0:01arguing about a single question. Are we
  3. 0:03experiencing 1998 or 2000 right now, and
  4. 0:05the answer determines whether we see
  5. 0:07another doubling or a crash of nearly 80
  6. 0:09percent, because Thursday's crash is
  7. 0:11reminiscent of both years. In 1998, the
  8. 0:14market collapsed in a very similar way.
  9. 0:16After that, however, the Nasdaq more
  10. 0:18than doubled again by March 2000. In the
  11. 0:20year 2000, the bubble finally burst. The
  12. 0:22Nasdaq lost 78 percent and took 15 years
  13. 0:25to reach its old high again.
  14. 0:28So, is this 1998 and another doubling is
  15. 0:30coming before the burst, or is it 2000
  16. 0:32and the bubble is bursting right now?
  17. 0:34And anyone who overlays today's
  18. 0:36semiconductor index with that of 1999
  19. 0:38and 2000 sees this disturbing pattern,
  20. 0:40but that is only one argument, and
  21. 0:42Thursday's crash is truly significant.
  22. 0:44We lost 2.3 trillion US dollars in the
  23. 0:46Nasdaq alone, more than ever before, and
  24. 0:48according to textbook statistics, such a
  25. 0:51day should actually only occur every
  26. 0:538,000 years.
  27. 0:54That is why we will go through point by
  28. 0:56point today what speaks for 1998 and
  29. 0:58what speaks for 2000.
  30. 1:00At the end, you will get my answer and
  31. 1:02three indicators by which you can
  32. 1:03recognize for yourselves in which
  33. 1:04direction things are heading, and I will
  34. 1:06show you what also happened with Bitcoin
  35. 1:07on Thursday, because that was also
  36. 1:09unique.
  37. 1:10That is exactly what we will talk about
  38. 1:12, and for that, I spent the entire
  39. 1:13weekend working through 70 charts and 10
  40. 1:15analyses from Goldman Sachs, Nomura, JP
  41. 1:17Morgan, Bank of America, and others. Not
  42. 1:19just for this video, but also for myself
  43. 1:21, because I wanted to know where we
  44. 1:22stand right now and what I can derive
  45. 1:24from it for myself, and that is exactly
  46. 1:25what I will show you here in this video
  47. 1:26. I have visually reprocessed all the
  48. 1:28charts for you here with AI so that you
  49. 1:30can understand them even better. If you
  50. 1:32out there can derive value from this—
  51. 1:34you know the drill—feel free to leave a
  52. 1:35thumbs up under the video here, feel
  53. 1:36free to share the video as often as
  54. 1:38possible, and feel free to write a
  55. 1:39comment.
  56. 1:40And if you are new here and don't want
  57. 1:41to miss any further deep dives on the
  58. 1:43macro market, the financial market,
  59. 1:44Bitcoin, and more: feel free to
  60. 1:45subscribe and activate the bell for free
  61. 1:46, then you won't miss anything anymore,
  62. 1:48as I said.
  63. 1:49Let's start with the raw numbers from
  64. 1:51Thursday. You all noticed the crash. The
  65. 1:53Nasdaq 100 lost 6.36 percent.
  66. 1:56That was the worst day since March 16th
  67. 1:58. March 2020, that is, since the corona
  68. 2:00crash.
  69. 2:01The S&P 500 lost 4.36%, the most since
  70. 2:04the tariff shock in April 2020.
  71. 2:08The Nasdaq 100 alone lost around 2.3
  72. 2:10trillion US dollars in market value on
  73. 2:12this day.
  74. 2:14According to Bloomberg, this is the
  75. 2:16largest daily loss in the index's
  76. 2:17history, and Goldman Sachs has also
  77. 2:19recalculated it, especially
  78. 2:21statistically, regarding how rare such a
  79. 2:23day is.
  80. 2:24Anyone who participates in every single
  81. 2:26trading day on the stock market would
  82. 2:28technically have to wait 8,000 years on
  83. 2:29average to experience such a crash just
  84. 2:31once.
  85. 2:33And yet, we have already seen such a day
  86. 2:35several times this year, so extreme days
  87. 2:37are becoming the rule, which shows that
  88. 2:39textbook statistics simply no longer fit
  89. 2:41this market, and it wasn't the only
  90. 2:42extreme value on that day.
  91. 2:45The semiconductor ETF SMH has lost
  92. 2:47around 20%in five days.
  93. 2:50It last lost that much in March 2020,
  94. 2:52also during the Corona crash.
  95. 2:54The semiconductor index SOX also fell by
  96. 2:5712%in a single day.
  97. 2:59That was also its worst day since 2020,
  98. 3:02and if we go further, we will see, for
  99. 3:04example, that Nvidia, the second-largest
  100. 3:06company in the world, had a realized
  101. 3:08volatility of 100 over five days.
  102. 3:11Translated, that means the stock
  103. 3:12fluctuated by more than 6%per day on
  104. 3:14average, basically like a small shitcoin
  105. 3:17or an altcoin in the crypto market that
  106. 3:19also swings very violently.
  107. 3:21On Thursday alone, Nvidia fell by 9.3%.
  108. 3:25Goldman tracks its own baskets of stocks
  109. 3:27for individual AI themes.
  110. 3:2913 of them had their largest daily loss
  111. 3:32since the launch of ChatGPT in November
  112. 3:352022.
  113. 3:36At the very top are optical networks
  114. 3:39with -15.26%and memory chips here with
  115. 3:42-15.2%.
  116. 3:44Goldman’s broad US AI basket also had
  117. 3:47its worst day since March 2020.
  118. 3:50What is interesting is what didn't fall
  119. 3:52; for example, Apple only fell by 1.5%
  120. 3:54because they don't have a major
  121. 3:56commitment to the AI theme.
  122. 3:58The S&P 500 only has a 60%correlation
  123. 4:00with its own equal-weighted index, so
  124. 4:02the old mantra of "diversify widely and
  125. 4:04you'll be on the safe side" no longer
  126. 4:06applies.
  127. 4:08That simply doesn't work in this market
  128. 4:09anymore.
  129. 4:11What really occupied my thoughts while
  130. 4:12looking at all the data is that a day
  131. 4:14like this isn't happening for the first
  132. 4:16time.
  133. 4:17As mentioned, investors traded 11.23
  134. 4:20million put options on the CBOE on
  135. 4:23Thursday. A put is basically an
  136. 4:25insurance policy against falling prices
  137. 4:28. That is the highest figure in the
  138. 4:30history of the exchange. The old record
  139. 4:32was 10.22 million on April 4.
  140. 4:352025, at the height of the tariff panic
  141. 4:38.
  142. 4:38And if we take another step forward here
  143. 4:41to the next chart, you will see an
  144. 4:43interesting statistic there as well.
  145. 4:46The ten biggest days, these ten biggest
  146. 4:48put days, where bets on falling prices
  147. 4:51were extremely heavy, all occurred
  148. 4:53either this year or last year.
  149. 4:55And these statistics go back 30 years.
  150. 4:57Of course, put options are traded more
  151. 5:00generally than in the past, but the fact
  152. 5:02that the ten biggest days for this
  153. 5:04insurance against falling prices fall
  154. 5:06exactly on these two years is, I believe
  155. 5:08, no coincidence and says something
  156. 5:10about this market.
  157. 5:12Moving on, if you look at Goldman’s
  158. 5:15panic index for volatility on a scale of
  159. 5:180 to 10, it rose to 9.57 on Thursday,
  160. 5:20clearly in the panic zone.
  161. 5:23Goldman’s volatility desk writes that
  162. 5:26this is the greatest panic we have seen
  163. 5:28in a very long time. The VIX, the
  164. 5:31volatility index on Wall Street, rose by
  165. 5:3470%in a single day.
  166. 5:36The VXN, the fear barometer for the
  167. 5:39Nasdaq, saw its biggest daily jump since
  168. 5:42March 2020. And yet, the whole situation
  169. 5:45looks almost harmless in the S&P 500,
  170. 5:46you have to say, right? The S&P 500 is
  171. 5:49currently just 6.3%below its high. Since
  172. 5:522009, the average correction has been
  173. 5:557.6%. So, at the index level, everything
  174. 5:57still looks very normal. It is also
  175. 5:59already the third correction of more
  176. 6:02than 5%this year. Beneath the surface,
  177. 6:04however, it looks completely different,
  178. 6:05right? The Nasdaq 100 is now 14.7%below
  179. 6:08its record from the 6th of October.
  180. 6:1159 out of 100 stocks in the Nasdaq are
  181. 6:14already in a bear market, meaning more
  182. 6:16than 20%below their high. The
  183. 6:18semiconductor index is around 38%below
  184. 6:20its high.
  185. 6:22So the index hides how much damage is
  186. 6:24really prevailing on the surface, and
  187. 6:25that will become important later,
  188. 6:27especially when we talk about the Fed.
  189. 6:29But why did this happen right now? The
  190. 6:32trigger, I believe, is also clear. The
  191. 6:34US midterm elections were held on
  192. 6:35Tuesday. The Democrats won both houses
  193. 6:37of Congress, in addition to several
  194. 6:39governorships. The market was still
  195. 6:41celebrating that on Wednesday. On
  196. 6:42Thursday, the bill came due because of a
  197. 6:45topic that many have underestimated so
  198. 6:47far: data centers. People in the US do
  199. 6:50not want data centers in their own
  200. 6:52backyards.
  201. 6:53In an election poll, 76%of respondents
  202. 6:55rejected a new data center in their
  203. 6:57community, and this resistance is
  204. 6:59currently growing very rapidly.
  205. 7:02In September, 24%were strongly against
  206. 7:04it, in August it was 61%, and now
  207. 7:06politics is also coming into play. If
  208. 7:09you look at this, including an analysis
  209. 7:11from Goldman Sachs, around 45%of planned
  210. 7:13data center capacity in the US is in
  211. 7:15states where a construction moratorium
  212. 7:18could be looming after the election.
  213. 7:20Texas alone accounts for 26.7%of that.
  214. 7:23The new governor there wants to halt
  215. 7:25construction until new laws are, uh, in
  216. 7:27place.
  217. 7:28The legislative period in Texas runs
  218. 7:30until the end of 2027.
  219. 7:32The logic behind it is simple, right?
  220. 7:35So, if the construction of data centers
  221. 7:37slows down drastically, it impacts
  222. 7:39growth expectations, making them
  223. 7:41increasingly unrealistic, which is why
  224. 7:43the market sold off everything tied to
  225. 7:45this expansion on Thursday, right?
  226. 7:48That much is clear. But that is only
  227. 7:50half the story. The other half is the
  228. 7:52money. Very important, I already spoke
  229. 7:54about that on October 6th. October,
  230. 7:56spoken. In a deep-dive video, insiders
  231. 7:58know more. Uh, bets on AI bankruptcies
  232. 8:00are rising, where we looked at default
  233. 8:02insurance.
  234. 8:04By the way, that was exactly the high of
  235. 8:06the Nasdaq 100 and the intermediate high
  236. 8:08of the semiconductor index, so the
  237. 8:09timing fit quite well there.
  238. 8:12The big cloud corporations—if you look
  239. 8:15at it, just a reminder—the so-called
  240. 8:17hyperscalers have already issued 296
  241. 8:18billion dollars in bonds this year.
  242. 8:21Goldman had expected 250 billion for the
  243. 8:24entire year.
  244. 8:25That is around 9%of all investment-grade
  245. 8:27corporate bonds worldwide.
  246. 8:29In total, AI-related bonds this year
  247. 8:32stand at 687 billion dollars. And if you
  248. 8:35look at the data, you can clearly see
  249. 8:37that the credit market is currently
  250. 8:38getting even more nervous.
  251. 8:40A CDS is basically credit default
  252. 8:41insurance against insolvency, if one can
  253. 8:44no longer service loans, if a debtor can
  254. 8:46no longer pay back the funds.
  255. 8:49Goldman's basket for CDS on AI data
  256. 8:51center firms rose above 500 basis points
  257. 8:54on Thursday, a record.
  258. 8:57The bonds of CoreWeave, for example, one
  259. 8:59of the biggest or large AI cloud
  260. 9:00providers, are trading at a spread of
  261. 9:02over 12 percentage points above
  262. 9:03government bonds.
  263. 9:05The problem is simply that every quarter
  264. 9:08a permit is missing is another quarter
  265. 9:10of interest payments on a half-finished
  266. 9:12data center.
  267. 9:14The list of postponed or canceled IPOs
  268. 9:15and financings in the data center sector
  269. 9:17has been growing since September.
  270. 9:20We have just received a fresh report
  271. 9:22that Microsoft has canceled a data
  272. 9:24center with Oracle, for example.
  273. 9:27On Thursday, Bloomberg even reported
  274. 9:29that the bank ING wants to offload a
  275. 9:30credit package for data centers worth
  276. 9:32500 million dollars.
  277. 9:34Even at Goldman, where they are leaning
  278. 9:36more toward the 1998 scenario, they call
  279. 9:38the scale of spending and the
  280. 9:40uncertainty regarding returns an
  281. 9:42uncomfortable parallel to 2000, but
  282. 9:44large investments on credit existed in
  283. 9:46both years.
  284. 9:47That is, we must clearly state, it is
  285. 9:49not an indication that just because
  286. 9:50everything is running on borrowed money
  287. 9:52, it somehow points to the year 2000 and
  288. 9:53thus to a bursting of the bubble.
  289. 9:55We already had large investments on
  290. 9:57borrowed money back in 1998. That is
  291. 10:00very clear, or very important to note
  292. 10:01there.
  293. 10:02So, using this argument to say, hey,
  294. 10:04everything is running on credit, that’s
  295. 10:06why I’m getting out of the market now,
  296. 10:07that can be dangerous in the sense that
  297. 10:09you then miss the entire remaining rally
  298. 10:11because, as I said, major investments
  299. 10:13essentially started in 1996, or before
  300. 10:14the dot-com bubble.
  301. 10:16The essential difference was only made
  302. 10:18by the credit market. Starting in 2000,
  303. 10:20no more money was injected.
  304. 10:22Exactly, that is the open question today
  305. 10:24, and we will come back to that at the
  306. 10:26end of the video, how you can recognize
  307. 10:27it for yourself, because at the end of
  308. 10:29the day, it's all about when the flow of
  309. 10:30money is stopped.
  310. 10:32The question remains why such a
  311. 10:34political topic triggers a day that,
  312. 10:36statistically, should only occur every
  313. 10:388,000 days, and the answer lies, in
  314. 10:40principle, in the structure of the
  315. 10:41market. This is called the shrinking
  316. 10:43denominator. More than half of all
  317. 10:45stocks today are held passively, that is
  318. 10:48, via index funds and ETFs that buy
  319. 10:50stocks regardless of what they cost.
  320. 10:53A large part of daily trading comes from
  321. 10:55systematic strategies, index adjustments
  322. 10:58, and ETFs, and fast active funds
  323. 11:00operate with high leverage, meaning
  324. 11:02tight risk limits and very similar risk
  325. 11:05models when compared side by side.
  326. 11:08This means that with a shrinking
  327. 11:09denominator, a uniformly acting group
  328. 11:11can trigger daily movements that,
  329. 11:13according to standard statistics, hardly
  330. 11:15ever occur. Translated, this means that
  331. 11:17when one fund reaches its loss limit,
  332. 11:19they all do, and on the other side,
  333. 11:21there are only passive funds that don't
  334. 11:23care about the price and programs that
  335. 11:25sell simply because the price is falling
  336. 11:27. On Thursday, you could see that happen
  337. 11:29live.
  338. 11:31ETFs accounted for 32%of the total
  339. 11:33trading volume, the most since June, and
  340. 11:35almost no one was looking at individual
  341. 11:37stocks, right?
  342. 11:38Everyone sold the index, and then the
  343. 11:41programs took over; leveraged ETFs have
  344. 11:44to reset their leverage every evening.
  345. 11:46If prices fall sharply, they have to
  346. 11:48sell at the close of trading.
  347. 11:50On Thursday, that amounted to 48.6
  348. 11:53billion dollars, the second-highest
  349. 11:55value ever recorded, and if we continue
  350. 11:57here, then we also have the funds with
  351. 12:00volatility control.
  352. 12:02These funds determine how many shares
  353. 12:04they hold based on how much the market
  354. 12:06fluctuates.
  355. 12:07If volatility rises, they have to sell.
  356. 12:09In just one week, they dumped 117
  357. 12:11billion dollars in stocks, and then
  358. 12:13there are the market makers, right? They
  359. 12:16are constantly hedging themselves
  360. 12:17through options positions as well.
  361. 12:20When they have negative gamma, they have
  362. 12:22to sell into falling prices and buy into
  363. 12:24rising ones.
  364. 12:25That was around 7 billion more on top
  365. 12:28for every percent the S&P 500 falls, and
  366. 12:31the next wave is already lined up.
  367. 12:34Trend-following funds, the so-called
  368. 12:36CTAs, turned short on the Nasdaq when
  369. 12:39the index fell below 27,600 points.
  370. 12:42Below 26,800 points, their position
  371. 12:45drops back to the level of April 2025,
  372. 12:47which is when we had the, uh, tariff
  373. 12:50shock.
  374. 12:51The Nasdaq 100 closed at 26,630 on
  375. 12:55Thursday.
  376. 12:57In a weak scenario, Goldman expects
  377. 12:59another 7.5 billion dollars in sales for
  378. 13:02the S&P 500 alone over the next, uh, few
  379. 13:04days.
  380. 13:06We'll have to wait and see; we'll take a
  381. 13:08look at the, uh, statistics on that in a
  382. 13:10moment.
  383. 13:10If you look at the irony of the day, on
  384. 13:13Wednesday, when prices rose after the
  385. 13:15election, in the middle of that
  386. 13:17post-election relief rally, many
  387. 13:19investors sold their hedges. On Thursday
  388. 13:21, everyone wanted that exact same hedge
  389. 13:24back.
  390. 13:25With 6.2 million contracts, there was a
  391. 13:27new record for index puts.
  392. 13:30Three of the five biggest index put days
  393. 13:32of all time have occurred in the last
  394. 13:33three weeks, so there we also have a
  395. 13:35very stark extreme.
  396. 13:37At the same time, short selling on US
  397. 13:39ETFs rose by 7%, the sharpest increase
  398. 13:41since March. It's like a homeowner—if
  399. 13:44you translate it simply—a homeowner sold
  400. 13:46, uh, or canceled their fire insurance
  401. 13:48on Wednesday, and then on Thursday, the
  402. 13:50house just burns down, right? So that’s
  403. 13:52how quickly it can happen.
  404. 13:54And for our comparison between 1998 and
  405. 13:562000, this is also important because we
  406. 13:58essentially had market mechanics here,
  407. 14:00forced selling, and partly fundamental
  408. 14:02developments.
  409. 14:04It was exactly the same in 1998.
  410. 14:06Back then, the hedge fund LTCM got into
  411. 14:08trouble with massive leverage after
  412. 14:10Russia stopped servicing its debt.
  413. 14:13The markets collapsed, but the economy
  414. 14:15kept running. I'll tell you the whole
  415. 14:17story in more detail in a moment.
  416. 14:19What we have heard so far with these
  417. 14:21market mechanics is a clear argument for
  418. 14:22why there was such heavy selling,
  419. 14:24fitting for 1998.
  420. 14:25Now you might think the hedge funds beat
  421. 14:27the market down. The answer surprised me
  422. 14:29somewhat as well. The panic we saw
  423. 14:31earlier was in the options market and in
  424. 14:33trading the index as a whole.
  425. 14:36For individual stocks, it looked
  426. 14:37different. According to Goldman Prime,
  427. 14:39the department that manages hedge funds
  428. 14:41, the funds there did not sell in a
  429. 14:43panic.
  430. 14:44The bottom line: hedge funds, where a
  431. 14:46manager personally decides on every
  432. 14:48stock, were simply not the main drivers
  433. 14:50of this sell-off.
  434. 14:52Nevertheless, the tech funds were hit
  435. 14:54the hardest, losing 4.1%in a single day
  436. 14:57.
  437. 14:58Before the AI sell-off in the summer,
  438. 15:00they were still up around 24%for the
  439. 15:01year.
  440. 15:02Now they are roughly at zero. The entire
  441. 15:05AI gain for the year is gone, and if
  442. 15:06you're at zero eight weeks before the
  443. 15:08end of the year, you're obviously going
  444. 15:10to take less risk, right?
  445. 15:12These funds just want to survive until
  446. 15:14next year, and the question then is, who
  447. 15:16was selling besides all the algorithms?
  448. 15:19Above all, retail investors. There are
  449. 15:21clear statistics on this, too.
  450. 15:23On Thursday, retail investors sold a net
  451. 15:26$ 338 million in individual US stocks.
  452. 15:30There were only two days with higher
  453. 15:31volumes, back in March 2020 during the
  454. 15:33Corona crash.
  455. 15:34And of the ten largest sell-off days
  456. 15:36since 2020, seven occurred in 2024,
  457. 15:38which is another indication—if it still
  458. 15:40wasn't clear—that we are in very extreme
  459. 15:43times.
  460. 15:45At JP Morgan, retail sales had already
  461. 15:47reached around $ 1.3 billion by midday,
  462. 15:50primarily in large tech stocks,
  463. 15:52semiconductors, and leveraged ETFs.
  464. 15:56A trader at JP Morgan summarizes the
  465. 15:58sentiment—I’ve pulled out a quote here.
  466. 16:00It feels like retail investors have
  467. 16:03finally given up on the AI trade.
  468. 16:05There is also an important observation
  469. 16:07to be made here. After the sell-off in
  470. 16:09July, retail investors continued selling
  471. 16:11for days, even as the market was already
  472. 16:13recovering. So keep an eye on whether
  473. 16:15large institutional investors are now
  474. 16:17coming back into the market.
  475. 16:19Only that will sustain a real recovery,
  476. 16:20not retail investors who are just
  477. 16:22blowing back and forth like leaves in
  478. 16:24the wind, right? That is exactly what we
  479. 16:26keep seeing in the crypto market as well
  480. 16:28. And one more detail that many people
  481. 16:30really underestimate, in my opinion, is
  482. 16:32what retail investors are still buying,
  483. 16:35especially leveraged ETFs like the SOXL
  484. 16:37, which tracks the semiconductor index
  485. 16:39with triple leverage. The semiconductor
  486. 16:41index itself is still significantly
  487. 16:43above its April level. The leveraged one
  488. 16:45, on the other hand, has already fallen
  489. 16:46back to its April level.
  490. 16:49This is because the leverage eats up all
  491. 16:51the gains, and as I said, we see this
  492. 16:53time and again with these leveraged
  493. 16:55products, which are very popular with
  494. 16:57retail investors and where people just
  495. 16:59jump in because they get greedy, right?
  496. 17:03And then we move on to the next step,
  497. 17:05when we look at this globally: in Asia,
  498. 17:07the emergency brake is currently being
  499. 17:09pulled.
  500. 17:10Before we get to the big question of
  501. 17:12whether we are experiencing 1998 or 2000
  502. 17:14, it’s worth taking a look at Asia,
  503. 17:16because the state is now intervening
  504. 17:18there. Until recently, Taiwan was the
  505. 17:21last market that had hardly been
  506. 17:23affected by the AI sell-off.
  507. 17:25The Taiwan ETF EWT has now closed below
  508. 17:27its 200-day moving average for the first
  509. 17:29time since April 2023.
  510. 17:31It has only been this oversold a few
  511. 17:33times in the last 10 years.
  512. 17:35On Friday, the Taiex fell by 4.51%.
  513. 17:39For the week, it was 12.19%.
  514. 17:42According to Bloomberg, it was the
  515. 17:44weakest week since 2001, and that is
  516. 17:45when the state stepped in.
  517. 17:47They have a stabilization fund, and the
  518. 17:49state has now authorized its deployment
  519. 17:51.
  520. 17:52The fund has now released 500 billion
  521. 17:54Taiwan dollars, or about 15.3 billion US
  522. 17:56dollars, and is authorized to use it to
  523. 17:58buy stocks.
  524. 18:00So, the market is now being actively
  525. 18:01supported here.
  526. 18:04In terms of total volume, if you look at
  527. 18:06the sell-offs, it is probably not on a
  528. 18:08scale where you can say it's enough, but
  529. 18:10it is certainly an indication that the
  530. 18:13state, in this case Taiwan, is stepping
  531. 18:15in and saying we have crashed so hard
  532. 18:17that we must intervene now.
  533. 18:19In South Korea, it looked similar on
  534. 18:22Friday. The Kospi lost 8.76%after the
  535. 18:25opening, and trading was automatically
  536. 18:27suspended. In the end, it stood at a
  537. 18:29loss of around 6%.
  538. 18:31The government is now suspending for
  539. 18:32three months the requirement that
  540. 18:34brokers must demand a fixed minimum
  541. 18:35margin for securities loans.
  542. 18:37This is the first time since July 2022.
  543. 18:40The goal is clear: retail investors who
  544. 18:42bought on credit should not be
  545. 18:43liquidated, meaning they should not be
  546. 18:45forced into panic selling.
  547. 18:47By the way, Korea was already a leading
  548. 18:49indicator for AI trading, and the
  549. 18:51semiconductor index there, the SOX, has
  550. 18:52now caught up with the Kospi on the way
  551. 18:54down.
  552. 18:56And Japan, the Nikkei, also fell 6%and
  553. 19:00is now 20%below its recent high, which
  554. 19:03technically puts it in a bear market.
  555. 19:07So Asia is intervening with everything
  556. 19:09they have: sovereign wealth funds,
  557. 19:11short-selling curbs, and relaxed lending
  558. 19:13rules.
  559. 19:14You only do that when things are really
  560. 19:16on fire, and the AI sector is definitely
  561. 19:18on fire right now, and that is the big
  562. 19:20difference compared to the US, it must
  563. 19:22be said.
  564. 19:23There, the central bank is usually the
  565. 19:24fire department during a crash, and the
  566. 19:26Fed can lower interest rates to support
  567. 19:28the market.
  568. 19:28But this time, the exact opposite is
  569. 19:30happening, right?
  570. 19:31We’ve had interest rate hikes in
  571. 19:33September, now another pause, and the
  572. 19:35next hike is already priced in for
  573. 19:37December, which brings us to the big
  574. 19:38question: Is this 1998 or is it 2000?
  575. 19:41Let’s take a closer look at both years
  576. 19:43in detail to evaluate the similarities
  577. 19:46and differences, so we can then answer
  578. 19:48where we currently stand or what exactly
  579. 19:50matters right now, as that is our
  580. 19:52benchmark. 1998, what happened there in
  581. 19:54Russia, uh, in Russia? In the summer,
  582. 19:57Russia stated that they could or would
  583. 19:59no longer pay their debts.
  584. 20:02This led to a major crash, and most
  585. 20:03notably, the most famous hedge fund at
  586. 20:05the time, LTCM, began to falter.
  587. 20:07They had borrowed so much money that the
  588. 20:10entire financial system was under threat
  589. 20:12. The stock market plunged by a fifth,
  590. 20:15but then the Fed intervened.
  591. 20:17They brought the major banks to the
  592. 20:19table, saved the fund, and cut interest
  593. 20:21rates several times within a few weeks.
  594. 20:23The panic subsided. As mentioned earlier
  595. 20:26, the Nasdaq subsequently more than
  596. 20:28doubled.
  597. 20:292000, a clear difference. This time, the
  598. 20:32Fed did exactly the opposite.
  599. 20:34They kept raising interest rates because
  600. 20:36they wanted to cool down the economy.
  601. 20:37In March 2000, the Nasdaq reached its
  602. 20:39peak, and then the bubble, the dot-com
  603. 20:42bubble, burst.
  604. 20:43As stated at the beginning, it lost
  605. 20:46almost 80%and took 15 years to recover.
  606. 20:50And a strategist, if you want to bring
  607. 20:53in expert opinions, notably Goldman
  608. 20:55Sachs, for example, says: "I lean toward
  609. 20:571998." His reasoning: Unlike in the year
  610. 20:592000, today's market leaders have real
  611. 21:02revenue, cash flows, and balance sheets
  612. 21:04, and a delay in building data centers
  613. 21:06does not destroy the demand for
  614. 21:08computing power.
  615. 21:10It only postpones it.
  616. 21:12Let’s go through what I consider to be
  617. 21:14the most important arguments. There are
  618. 21:16several points that are important here.
  619. 21:18First, the valuation.
  620. 21:20Nvidia is currently trading at around
  621. 21:22ten times the expected earnings for the
  622. 21:24next 24 months, as cheap as it hasn't
  623. 21:26been since 2013.
  624. 21:28Valuations in the semiconductor sector
  625. 21:30have halved since June. Cisco was
  626. 21:32trading at well over a hundred times its
  627. 21:34earnings in the year 2000. That leans
  628. 21:37more toward 1998. Second, the Fed.
  629. 21:40In 1998, the Fed cut rates, in 2000 it
  630. 21:43raised them, and today we are still in
  631. 21:45the middle of an interest rate hike
  632. 21:47cycle, with about an 80%probability
  633. 21:49right now that we will see another rate
  634. 21:51hike in December.
  635. 21:53That would suggest 2000 in this regard.
  636. 21:56Third, earnings. Traders describe the
  637. 21:59situation like this: company figures are
  638. 22:00improving, yet stocks are falling anyway
  639. 22:02. The quarterly figures, prices for
  640. 22:04memory chips, and computing power are,
  641. 22:06uh, strong. Back in 2000, many stock
  642. 22:09prices were tied to companies that had
  643. 22:11no profits at all. That speaks in favor
  644. 22:14of 1998 again. If you look further into
  645. 22:17it, uh, there is this chart here. The
  646. 22:19exaggeration, so that is the fourth
  647. 22:21point. Bank of America measures how far
  648. 22:23the semiconductor index is above or
  649. 22:25below its 200-day, uh, line.
  650. 22:27This year it was up to 74%higher; this
  651. 22:29value was only higher during the dot-com
  652. 22:32bubble, here at 111%.
  653. 22:34In the last five days, the semiconductor
  654. 22:37index has lost more than 15%against the
  655. 22:39S&P 500, lagging behind as much as it
  656. 22:42hasn't since 2002.
  657. 22:44And let's go back to the beginning here
  658. 22:46, uh, to this chart with the
  659. 22:48semiconductor index overlaid with back
  660. 22:50then, '99 to 2000. The progression
  661. 22:52matches surprisingly well, you have to
  662. 22:55say. That speaks more for 2000 here.
  663. 22:58And this perhaps results in an interim
  664. 23:00picture that is very unsatisfying for
  665. 23:02some, namely that the arguments simply
  666. 23:03balance each other out now when you look
  667. 23:05at these points, the similarities and
  668. 23:07the differences.
  669. 23:08One open question remains, of course:
  670. 23:10will the credit market continue to
  671. 23:12finance, uh, things? And if you also
  672. 23:13look at a trend line, we also see that
  673. 23:15we are hanging by a thread there. A
  674. 23:17trend line that is now being tested for
  675. 23:19the third time on the Nasdaq.
  676. 23:21What my answer to this is now, and what
  677. 23:23my interim conclusion from this entire
  678. 23:25analysis is, is that we are more likely
  679. 23:28experiencing a 1998, but without the
  680. 23:30rescue by the Fed. The valuations, the
  681. 23:32profits, and the mechanical trigger look
  682. 23:35like 1998. But the most important
  683. 23:37element of 1998 is missing, namely the
  684. 23:39Fed stepping in, and that also has a
  685. 23:42clear reason.
  686. 23:43At the index level, hardly anything has
  687. 23:45really happened yet, right? S&P 500 down
  688. 23:486.3%.
  689. 23:50The last times the Fed acted or reacted
  690. 23:52, the S&P was significantly lower or in
  691. 23:55a much sharper, yes, correction or
  692. 23:58sometimes even in a bear market.
  693. 24:01What we saw, most recently in 2022, is
  694. 24:03that they even hiked further during the
  695. 24:04correction because inflation was high,
  696. 24:06and that is naturally also a very
  697. 24:08important point.
  698. 24:09Inflation remains at a very high level,
  699. 24:12and if we go further, generally, if you
  700. 24:14look at it currently, does that mean we
  701. 24:17are going down further now?
  702. 24:19If you look at the statistics, they
  703. 24:20actually say something different. Take a
  704. 24:22look at the 20 largest jumps of the
  705. 24:24volatility index since 1990 here.
  706. 24:27Thursday landed in third place here with
  707. 24:29plus 70%. Three months after such jumps
  708. 24:32, the S&P 500 was on average 5%higher
  709. 24:34after one year. So, these are actually
  710. 24:37Japanese-style moments where entering
  711. 24:39the market has historically and
  712. 24:40statistically paid off in most cases.
  713. 24:43And let's go even further. Since 2015,
  714. 24:45the Nasdaq has fallen by more than 5%on
  715. 24:47a single day seven times.
  716. 24:50Six times it was higher three months
  717. 24:52later, but six times it fell below the
  718. 24:54level of the crash day again within one
  719. 24:56month.
  720. 24:57So usually, there is an initial recovery
  721. 24:59after such a big crash. You can see that
  722. 25:02here in this second column. So most
  723. 25:03cases are then green. After a week,
  724. 25:06however, there is another low, where
  725. 25:08this low is tested once more. But
  726. 25:10afterwards, if you look at it after
  727. 25:12three months—which isn't exactly a
  728. 25:14long-term perspective, I find—three
  729. 25:16months, we actually see a recovery again
  730. 25:18and again.
  731. 25:20What is interesting, however, is that
  732. 25:22there is one exception, and that was in
  733. 25:232022, in the exact case where the Fed
  734. 25:25had raised interest rates, and that is,
  735. 25:27as I said, currently the case as well,
  736. 25:29and Goldman has also evaluated this for
  737. 25:30its panic index.
  738. 25:32After the 15 previous signals above 9.5
  739. 25:35, the S&P 500 was on average 4.6%higher
  740. 25:38after three months in 80%of the cases.
  741. 25:42After one month, it was only 0.68%on
  742. 25:44average.
  743. 25:45These figures come primarily from phases
  744. 25:47in which the Fed was actually helping.
  745. 25:50The turnaround must therefore come from
  746. 25:51somewhere else, and there are three
  747. 25:52indicators for this, in my view, which
  748. 25:54you can also observe yourselves in the
  749. 25:55coming weeks. The first is volatility.
  750. 25:57Volatility-controlled funds have sold
  751. 26:00117 billion dollars. Their equity
  752. 26:02allocation is now as low as it has been
  753. 26:05in only 14.6%of cases over the last
  754. 26:07three years. As soon as the fluctuation
  755. 26:09drops, as soon as the volatility index
  756. 26:11drops, they have to buy back
  757. 26:12automatically. No market can sustain a
  758. 26:15volatility of 100 at Nvidia for long. So
  759. 26:17that will not remain a normal state in
  760. 26:20my view. At some point, the market will
  761. 26:22level off again, the volatility indices
  762. 26:25will also pull back, and then these
  763. 26:27volatility-controlled funds will have to
  764. 26:29buy back. The second indicator, and this
  765. 26:31is very important and I believe many are
  766. 26:33currently underestimating it, is
  767. 26:34politics. Remember April 2025. The
  768. 26:37Nasdaq fell by more than 11%over two
  769. 26:40days because of tariffs.
  770. 26:42A few days later, Trump suspended most
  771. 26:44tariffs for 90 days, and by the end of
  772. 26:46June, the Nasdaq was at a new record,
  773. 26:48right?
  774. 26:49So that is what happened. The Fed didn't
  775. 26:51cut rates back then until September.
  776. 26:53The trigger was political, so the
  777. 26:54turnaround also came from politics.
  778. 26:57This time, the trigger is the threatened
  779. 27:00construction freeze for data centers,
  780. 27:02and the new governor of Texas is already
  781. 27:04saying herself that it’s not like they
  782. 27:06hate data centers, right?
  783. 27:08So she is already rowing back a little
  784. 27:10bit. Projects that have already been
  785. 27:11approved should just be allowed to be
  786. 27:12completed. Goldman calls this a
  787. 27:14regulatory reset and expects any
  788. 27:16potential construction freezes to be
  789. 27:18short-lived.
  790. 27:19The third indicator is the credit market
  791. 27:21, and that decides between 1998 or 2000
  792. 27:23in my view.
  793. 27:25At the moment, the fire is only burning
  794. 27:26in one corner, and that’s specifically
  795. 27:28those building data centers; they are
  796. 27:30currently paying large premiums and
  797. 27:32higher interest rates.
  798. 27:34As I said, CoreWeave, for example, is
  799. 27:36paying over 12 percentage points more
  800. 27:37than the US government. But for normal
  801. 27:39large companies, you can hardly see any
  802. 27:41of that.
  803. 27:42Back in 2000, it also only started
  804. 27:43burning in one corner. First, the
  805. 27:45telecom companies stopped getting money
  806. 27:47, then it spread. Suddenly, even healthy
  807. 27:49companies had to pay much higher
  808. 27:51interest rates.
  809. 27:52Many couldn't get any new loans at all,
  810. 27:54and in the end, the economy slipped into
  811. 27:55a recession.
  812. 27:57That is what you need to pay attention
  813. 27:58to.
  814. 28:00If normal companies suddenly have to pay
  815. 28:02significantly more interest, or if
  816. 28:04companies cancel their bonds because
  817. 28:06they can't find buyers, then the fire
  818. 28:08spreads, and 1998 becomes 2000 once the
  819. 28:10cash flow stops.
  820. 28:12That is the deciding factor in my view.
  821. 28:14If it stays limited to the data centers
  822. 28:17, then it’s more like 1998. And above
  823. 28:19everything stands the interest rate path
  824. 28:20. So, an interest rate hike in December
  825. 28:21is priced in. The next important dates
  826. 28:23are the 10th. November inflation data,
  827. 28:25the 9th. December, the next interest
  828. 28:27rate decision. But not everything will
  829. 28:28be decided there; it depends on the
  830. 28:30coming months.
  831. 28:31Is inflation cooling down, or are we
  832. 28:33really seeing a continued steep rate
  833. 28:35path where further hikes are priced in?
  834. 28:38Many assume that this will be the last
  835. 28:40rate hike because the market can't
  836. 28:42handle any more than that, and
  837. 28:43accordingly, it will depend on that.
  838. 28:46My personal opinion is, as I said, 1998
  839. 28:49is more likely, and I will take every
  840. 28:51chance to keep investing and further
  841. 28:53reduce my cash position.
  842. 28:56I already did that this past week, in
  843. 28:58the week where the crash happened, or a
  844. 29:00day before, I bought Alphabet shares for
  845. 29:02example, I anticipated six weeks of ETF
  846. 29:04savings plan installments, and invested
  847. 29:06manually once more. I last did that in
  848. 29:09April 2025, and if it continues to go
  849. 29:12down—which is what the statistics
  850. 29:14suggest might happen, that the lows
  851. 29:17might be tested again in the traditional
  852. 29:19market—then I will naturally buy more.
  853. 29:22With Bitcoin, as I promised you, it is
  854. 29:24only the second time that Bitcoin fell
  855. 29:27less than the Nasdaq when the Nasdaq
  856. 29:29dropped more than 5%.
  857. 29:31The other time was here on the 16th.
  858. 29:34March, so the Corona crash. That was
  859. 29:36actually a very good entry point, wasn't
  860. 29:37it?
  861. 29:38We shouldn't forget that, and if we go
  862. 29:41further here, um, Bitcoin stocks
  863. 29:42naturally fell twice as hard, which I
  864. 29:44think is no surprise, and Bitcoin was a
  865. 29:47year ahead.
  866. 29:48That is also one reason why Bitcoin is
  867. 29:50currently holding up a bit better. The
  868. 29:52Nasdaq, by the way, hit its all-time
  869. 29:54high exactly one year after Bitcoin. On
  870. 29:56the 6th. October we had our all-time
  871. 29:58high, and since then, Bitcoin has been
  872. 30:00underperforming, and then the selling
  873. 30:02pressure is naturally a bit reduced. So
  874. 30:04let’s summarize.
  875. 30:05Thursday was statistically an 8,000-
  876. 30:07year event, but such days are occurring
  877. 30:09more and more frequently in this market
  878. 30:10because the machine produces them that
  879. 30:12way, because the market is currently
  880. 30:13structured like this.
  881. 30:15Valuations and earnings speak for 1998;
  882. 30:18the Fed speaks for 2000. My answer is
  883. 30:20more like 1998, but without the Fed
  884. 30:22rescue because it’s simply too early.
  885. 30:26In my view, there is still room to the
  886. 30:28downside before the Fed can or must
  887. 30:30react, but overall the earnings are
  888. 30:32definitely there, so my answer is 1998,
  889. 30:34and whether it shifts will be shown by
  890. 30:37volatility, politics, and especially the
  891. 30:39credit market.
  892. 30:41I already showed you that on October 6th
  893. 30:42.
  894. 30:43That is nothing—it shouldn't be anything
  895. 30:45new to you, what I’m telling you here
  896. 30:47regarding the credit market, but I will
  897. 30:49of course keep you updated in the coming
  898. 30:52weeks and always share these
  899. 30:53developments with you.
  900. 30:56Feel free to write in the comments what
  901. 30:58you think—is this a good chance to add
  902. 30:59to positions, or are we really seeing a
  903. 31:01dot-com bubble like in 2000?
  904. 31:03What do you make of the situation?
  905. 31:06With Bitcoin, you know anyway that I
  906. 31:08only buy when we are in the value zone,
  907. 31:10unless something tax-related changes or
  908. 31:12for whatever other reason, then I will
  909. 31:15let you know, but currently, it is not
  910. 31:17my plan to actively buy spot.
  911. 31:20In the traditional market, I became
  912. 31:21active, and I will of course continue to
  913. 31:23update you on that. Feel free to leave a
  914. 31:25comment to wrap things up, and as I said
  915. 31:26, give this topic a thumbs up.

  931. 31:58free to leave a thumbs up at the end,
  932. 31:59otherwise, I'll see you again in the
