Biden's Parkinson, Wall Street record highs, and NVIDIA's AI boom bubble. It's time to park the bus and enjoy the summer. Winter will come.

July 9, 2023

As President Biden struggles with Parkinson's, Wall Street hit yet another record high and NVIDIA kept rising into bubble territory. It's time to park the bus, hoard cash, sit back, relax, and enjoy the summer. Winter is coming sooner or later. 

Biden's Parkinson

It is speculated that President Biden is suffering from Parkinson's disease or a similar neurological condition. The diagnosis would not be a surprise for the 81 year old President who has been looking shakingly senile recently. The speculation is based on New York Times press reports indicating that the White House visitor logs show multiple visits by a neurologist that specializes in treating Parkinson's disease. That is enough for many to unofficially diagnose Biden with Parkinson's or a similar neurological condition consistent with his aged demeanor. 

The actual medical diagnosis may not exist yet or may not be made public for "National Security" reasons. Even if Biden does have Parkinson's, or a similar neurological condition, a medical diagnosis may not exist. Some may have calculated that it would be imprudent to diagnose him at the moment. Politically, the optics are different and no official diagnosis is required. In the "clinic" of public opinion, Biden is an old man suffering from Parkinson's or a similar condition. In the "court" of public opinion, the "establishment" and the "deep state" will do their best to cover up the "truth" from the the masses. 

Biden's Parkinson's "diagnosis" spells trouble for his bid for re-election. Although Biden may not know it yet, he will be stepping down this summer. Democrats will nominate someone else to run against the presumptive Republican candidate and frontrunner Donald Trump. We are betting on California Governor Gavin Newsom with Kamala Harris as Vice President. We'll see.

Wall Street is on Fire

Wall Street took very well the news of Biden's Parkinson's intrigue. The S&P reached 5,900 setting an intraday record high. Of course, the rise is due to the AI boom, not to Bidenzheimer or Parkinson's. The U.S. technology sector keeps printing money. The AI boom seems unstoppable for now and will continue rising until everyone gets used to AI and it is no longer a novelty. Winter will come for AI stocks relatively soon. 

NVIDIA gained 2.5% today and has gained 173% year to date. It is 8% below it's all time high of $140 per share. NVIDIA's current market capitalization of $3.23 trillion makes it the third most valuable company in the world behind behind Microsoft's $3.42 trillion valuation and Apple's $3.51 trillion. That's right, these three U.S. companies alone are worth about $10.1 trillion. NVIDIA has done well for a company that a couple of years ago was relatively speaking a "nobody", focused on computer graphics card and video graphics processing units (GPUs). It's just so happens that NVIDIA was sitting on gold or oil because those GPUs offer the paralleled processing that is used to power AI computing. 

Winter will come sooner or later

What should do to maximize gains at this moment? We don't know. What we are doing is "parking the bus" as they say in soccer. In soccer, "parking the bus" is a defensive tactic where a team plays deep in their own half of the field to prevent the opposing team from attacking. The goal is to keep a clean sheet and avoid conceding a goal. The tactic is often used when a team is leading and wants to protect their advantage. We are gaining on this market. Instead of being super greedy, we have 40% in cash in the following currencies U.S. dollar, Euro, British pound, Swiss Franc, Australian dollar, and Japanese yen. The 60% in stock is allocated between the S&P 500, the Russell 4,500, and international ETFs. We are also shorting NVIDIA and we are currently down 10% on the position. We are holding zero gold and zero Bitcoin. We'll see.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Are we closer to World War III after Assad's' fall in Syria?

December 8, 2024 Are we closer to World War III after Assad's fall in Syria?    Well, yes because World War III will be in the future and we are always closer to the future. Now, that future has not been created yet so it's impossible to predict it with full accuracy. Whether the world moves into WWIII after Assad's fall will greatly depend on what Putin decides to do. After all, Assad is hiding in Russia from where he could try to organize a come back. We should all prepare for WWIII. Sooner or later WWIII will be real. Perhaps we are already at the initial stages and have not realized it. a WWIII will most likely bring significant human suffering and significant technological advances. Who will win, how will WWIII play out? No one knows yet. The future has not been created yet.  In this post we take a quick look into Syria's history including who is Bashar al-Assad, and what may happen in Syria and the region now that Assad's regime collapsed and the dictator is i...

What is the best deal for Panama?

February 1, 2025 What is the best deal for Panama? Trump wants the American Canal in Panama back. What should Panama do?  Panama should lease the canal to the United States. Panama can then hope that a future president can end the lease or renegotiate it in the future. Panama earns about $5 billion a year operating the canal. Panama should negotiate a lease with the United States that allows Panama to either earn or save about that amount per year. The lease may call for improvements to the canal paid by the United States. The lease may call for other economic concessions to Panama such as a special trade agreement, tariff exemptions, direct U.S. investments in Panama, fintech and cryptocurrency deals, etc.  Panama should see Trump's interest in the canal as a blessing in disguise and as an opportunity to enter into a strategic money-making deal. Panama should not see itself as a victim. The truth is that the United States built the canal and that the United States freed Panam...
