Goldman's #speculative #trading #indicator is comprised of three components all of which are trading in the more extreme upper deciles. These are #volume based measures which suggests that it isn't just #retail investors chasing returns. h/t @themarketear


#Speculative #investing lessons have to be repeatedly taught over time.


NYSE #Margin #Debt is elevated but not as extreme as 2021. While it suggests there is room for additional leverage, previous market peaks have formed at these levels. Margin debt is the fuel for a #bullmarket, but it is also the fuel for the #correction. h/t @ISABELNET_SA

Well.....at least he has a firm grasp on his financial goals. Of course, he may be single soon as well. 🤣🤣

"I’m old enough to remember the #quant #quake of August 2007, and how quickly that unwind unfolded." -- Goldman Delta-One head Rich Privorotsky #Systematic funds are now down 3.6% MTD, down 5% from the start of June, and on track for the worst month in almost 5 years.

The $GS #Risk Appetite Indicator’s current risk-on signal points to a very #bullish #market environment. As noted over the last couple of days, #investors are willing to take on increasing risk levels. However, the good news, is that while risk is elevated, according to this…
