reSee.it AI Summary
Debt-based banking systems are inherently inflationary. If a bank lends you $100 at 5%, you owe $105 after a year. The extra $5 comes from new loans, as banks must continually expand credit to cover previous debts with interest. This is why they target a 2% inflation rate, which reflects their credit creation goals. Analyzing U.S. commercial bank credit shows it rarely goes negative, only during banking crises like in 2009, 2010, and 2023. The system relies on perpetual inflation to survive.

@peruvian_bull - Roberto Rios (Peruvian Bull)

debt-based banking systems are inherently inflationary imagine you live in a town with money supply set at $0. A bank opens for business and gives you a loan for $100 at 5%. In a year you have to pay back $105. Where does the other $5 come from? From new loans. The bank finds another customer and lends him money. You provide a service to said customer and that grants you the additional $5 you need to repay interest on your loan. the banks must continually expand the credit supply in order to pay off the previous year's debt with interest. this is why they say "2% inflation target". What they're really telling you is their credit creation target. 2% is the low end of their range. look at commercial bank credit in the United States. If you extrapolate this data to excel and look for YoY change. it only goes negative about 3% of the time. and the years it does go negative- 2009, 2010, and 2023- are all coincident with banking crises. the system needs eternal inflation to SURVIVE.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The market faces an existential crisis due to the GameStop event exposing derivative-linked counterparty risks, compounded by algorithmic trading that is not fully understood. Economics and finance professors advocate for infinite liquidity, promoting 24/7 trading and an unlimited supply of stocks. This argument focuses on liquidity, a side effect of the market, as the main objective. Optimizing for tradable shares leads to exemptions for market makers to create short shares and delay mandatory buy-ins.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Existential crisis in a lot of ways because of the after effects of GameStop blowing up a giant fund. The whole market, as we know, is tied together by derivatives, swaps, all these counterparty risks that are just stacked on algorithmic, like, algorithmic trading mechanisms that most of the people that are actually running this stuff don't understand. Speaker 1: Yeah. And they they employ economics professors, finance professors to tell you that we need infinite liquidity. That stocks need to be able to be traded twenty four seven, three 60 five. There should be an infinite amount of stocks at the bid and the ask. There should be an infinite amount trades happening. And, you know, that's kind of like a I would call it like form of sophistry. Right? Like an argument where they take a side effect of the market, which is liquidity, and offering investors a way to trade and make it the main focus. And when liquidity is the main focus, then you optimize for the amount of shares tradable at any given time, which means market makers, have a, you know, exemption to making short shares, and then they also have provisions where they can kick those share buy ins, those forced buy ins down

The year has started with multiple currencies crashing as the Dollar Milkshake returns, echoing past crises. In 2022, the Japanese Yen and British Pound faced historic lows, prompting rare interventions. The Dollar Milkshake Theory explains how the dollar strengthens amid global financial chaos, driven by its reserve status. As the dollar rises, countries struggle with debt and currency devaluation. Current pressures on the Yen and Pound reflect this ongoing crisis, with rising yields and bearish sentiment. The system's dynamics ensure the dollar's dominance, even as global economies face turmoil.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

The Milkshake Returns The year has barely begun and multiple currencies are crashing as DXY rises once again. What happens when the Dollar Milkshake returns to claim more victims? A THREAD: 🧵👇

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

In September 2022, I published a viral piece online entitled “The Sword of Damocles and the Dollar Milkshake” where I discussed the growing crisis in the British Pound and the Japanese Yen, which had both slid to historic lows against the Dollar.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

On September 22 of that year, the Japanese government and BOJ intervened for the first time in nearly a quarter century, selling dollars and buying yen, after the yen had weakened by about 25 yen in six months, briefly hitting 145 per dollar.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

Yen-buying interventions were rare. The one before this had occurred in 1998 during the Asian financial crisis, which caused a yen sell-off and capital flight from the region. Prior to that, Japan intervened to support the yen in 1991-1992.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

These foreign exchange reserves are by definition limited, since they are another currency (dollars) that the host country (in this case, Japan) cannot print.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

The British had faced a similar problem. On September 28th, The BoE announced it would purchase as much government debt as necessary to restore order following financial turmoil sparked by Prime Minister Liz Truss's tax-cutting plans.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

Market pressures forced pension funds to sell gilts to meet emergency collateral calls on under-water derivatives positions.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

The British government bond market had a 8+ sigma move in rates across the curve in one day at the worst point of the crisis, which was basically statistically impossible if we use the VaR models most commonly applied to risk management.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

On September 23, 2022, five-year gilt yields experienced a sharp increase of over 50 basis points, the largest single-day rise since 1991. On September 25, two-year gilt yields jumped by 44 bps, a surge only comparable to the Black Wednesday crisis of 1992.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

The emergency measures continued throughout October 2022 for both nations, and even the Euro struggled as it neared and then broke parity with the dollar in the same month. It seemed that the currency crisis was a worldwide phenomenon.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

This was due to the Dollar Milkshake Theory, which was posited by @SantiagoAuFund years earlier. Dollar Milkshake is a framework for understanding how a sovereign debt default might occur, with gold, DXY, and equities all climbing as investors scramble for safety and liquidity.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

The paradox is the dollar’s strength amid financial chaos, driven by its global reserve status. As the system melts DOWN, the dollar melts UP.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund And if you take a look at the graphs below, you can clearly see this playing out. Gold is moving higher as a hedge against uncertainty, the DXY is surging on dollar demand, and equities are holding strong despite the turmoil. Milkshake is in full force in 2025.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund To understand the full nuances of the DMT, we must first dig into the history of the dollar system. After World War II, the Bretton Woods system made the U.S. dollar the star of the show, pegging it to gold at $35 an ounce .

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund But by the time Vietnam rolled around, U.S. spending was out of control. Charles de Gaulle, France’s president, called America’s bluff and asked for gold in exchange for dollars. That put major strain on U.S. gold reserves and forced President Nixon to pull the plug in 1971.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund The monetary economist consensus was that this would’ve hurt the dollar’s standing, right? Nope. Instead, the dollar became even more powerful. The Eurodollar market, dollars floating outside the U.S. in global trade and finance began to explode in volume.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund The Eurodollar market began in the 1950s with an innovation by Midland Bank in the UK, which capitalised on the high cost of capital in post-World War II Britain.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund Midland’s ability to lend in U.S. dollars gave it a competitive edge, allowing it to participate in the forwards market by lending itself dollars and investing in higher-yielding gilts to capture the spread.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund This practice set the stage for the explosive growth of the Eurodollar market from the 1950s to the 1970s, expanding to the point where today, nine out of every ten dollars worldwide are Eurodollars. You can read more about it here: https://dollarendgame.substack.com/p/eurodollar-i-origins?utm_source=publication-search

Eurodollar I: Origins The Genesis of the Eurodollar is shrouded in mystery. But it would eventually grow to be more powerful than anyone could have imagined. dollarendgame.substack.com

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund This structure creates a sustained demand for U.S. dollars outside the U.S., reinforcing the dollar’s global dominance as these offshore derivatives, now totalling over $400 trillion, dwarf the $36 trillion in domestic U.S. dollar debt.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund Brent Johnson's Dollar Milkshake Theory predicts that as the sovereign debt bubble unravels, demand for the U.S. dollar will surge against other currencies. This strengthening effect draws capital into the dollar, even as inflation and debt levels strain global economies.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund The theory suggests that while many assets may decline in this environment, the dollar will rise sharply, alongside gold, as investors seek safe havens from sovereign debt instability. Here’s a quote from one of his videos on the topic:

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund Essentially, the issue is an extension of Triffin’s dilemma. Every other country trades, borrows, and lends in a currency THEY CANNOT PRINT.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund This creates massive consistent demand for dollars, which preserves the dollar’s value on the forex markets and leads to a buoying effect on the dollar.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund The cruel irony of this system, as Johnson so brilliantly elaborates, is the longer it goes on the STRONGER it becomes.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund As more and more eurodollars are lent into existence, the overall debt load on the global economy grows, which increases demand for dollars and ensures the next correction will be even more severe.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund The Fed no longer even tracks the existence of Eurodollars or of Eurodollar debt- these metrics were deemed too difficult to measure and the reporting was phased out in the mid 2000s. M3 Money Supply, for example, which included some Eurodollar measures, was eliminated in 2006.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund If the dollar begins to rise too aggressively or too quickly, then a Milkshake crisis appears as follows, as outlined by Johnson:

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund We’ve seen this play out several times before. As mentioned previously, in the fall of 2022 there was a massive prolonged spike in the dollar, which began to cause massive issues across the global financial system.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

This had accelerated due to the Fed’s rapid hiking cycle which was announced in March of that year- literally the fastest in its history, outpacing even the Volcker Shock of the early 1980s. The rise in interest rates had occurred when the rest of the world was even farther behind the curve.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund The Eurozone did not even start hiking out of the zero bound until late 2022, and Japan was pinning rates in the negative territory while running a massive yield curve control program- one that began blowing up in their face, as previously discussed.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

Godzilla Returns In a desperate bid to save their falling currency, the Japanese have begun hiking rates. USDJPY has begun collapsing, and with it, the carry trade that held up their massive overleveraged economy. A THREAD 🧵🔥👇

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund The terminal rate for the ECB was a full 100 bps lower than the US, and at one point the spread between Japanese rates and the US Fed funds was in excess of 500 bps.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund This caused massive carry trades to open up, which were put on by borrowing in Euros or Yen and lending in USD- effectively shorting these weaker currencies and buoying the Dollar.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund Paradoxically, everything these sovereigns did would make it worse. If they tried to defend their currency with forex reserves, they only delayed the inevitable, and burn through billions of dollars to do so.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund Raising rates to parity with the US meant widespread defaults, as both Europe and Japan are heavily indebted, although to different extents, obviously. Truly there is no option and no fiat solution to the Milkshake- no other currency can usurp the Almighty Dollar.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund Now, the Milkshake has returned. This month, the DXY has climbed to a record 109, a two year high, just within the first few days of the new year. Now it is trading at 107, still very close to the highs.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund This comes off the back of a record year for the dollar, where it gained almost 7% against the major currencies. All this occurred despite three rate cuts from the Fed and an acceleration in both headline CPI and Core PCE inflation.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund The Indian rupee, for example, fell to an all time record low last Friday as the dollar strengthened again, putting pressure on regional currencies. The east asian currency has had 10 consecutive losing weeks due to a strengthening dollar and weak capital inflows.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund This happened even though regular interventions by the Reserve Bank of India have helped stem the losses. Even state banks have been reported to be aiding in the interventions to help the devaluing currency!

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund Japan continues to face a growing fiscal crisis, with its debt-to-GDP ratio towering at a staggering 260%, the highest among developed nations. The Yen has been in a slow motion train crash since 2022 when the global hiking cycle began.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund The Bank of Japan’s yield curve control (YCC) program has kept borrowing costs artificially low for years, but cracks are showing. The 10-year Japanese Government Bond yield just hit 1.2%, the highest since July 2011.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund In the last 3 months, despite the Fed easing cycle, we’ve seen a resumption of the weakness, with dollar yen headed back to the 160 level where they have intervened many times before.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund We have covered extensively on this substack, in pieces like Tokyo Drifting so check those out for more detail: https://dollarendgame.substack.com/p/tokyo-drifting-into-a-currency-crisis The process has put immense pressure on the currency, with the BoJ making frantic moves to try and slow the decline of their currency.

Tokyo Drifting Into A Currency Crisis The Bank of Japan is standing idly by while their currency depreciates past the limit set in September 2022. Is all hope lost for the Japanese Yen? dollarendgame.substack.com

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund Issues are also arising across the Atlantic, as the UK is now grappling with a toxic mix of soaring gilt yields and a crumbling Pound, an unnerving combo usually reserved for emerging markets, not the sixth-largest economy in the world.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund Gilt yields have surged to their highest levels since 1998, a grim milestone that marks the same levels of financial strain that infamously forced Liz Truss out of office in 2022 after her fiscal policies spooked markets and tanked the currency.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

According to Barclays’ global head of currency distribution, Mimi Rushton, there’s been a 300% spike in trade inquiries about sterling options. Hedge funds are positioning for the Pound to fall another 8%, signaling deep bearish sentiment and a lack of confidence in the UK’s economic outlook.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund Up north, the Canadian economy isn’t faring much better. The Canadian dollar has depreciated nearly 8% against the U.S. dollar in the past year, sinking to a two-decade low of C$1.43. Like the UK, Canada is facing rising bond yields and a weakening currency.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund On the bond side, Canadian government yields are creeping higher, with the 10-year yield reaching 3.47% as of January 10, 2025. Meanwhile, looming trade threats from a new U.S. administration are adding to the uncertainty.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund All of this doesn’t even mention the elephant in the room, which is the Euro. The currency has been weakening substantially over the past year again, and is nearing parity with the dollar for the first time since it broke it in 2022.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund Before that, we have to go to 1999 to find another time that the Euro and Dollar were at parity. The Eurozone is facing a whole host of issues, including weakening economic growth, an immigration crisis, high interest rates, and growing inflation.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund In December 2024, Eurozone inflation reached a five-month high of 2.4%, driven by rising services costs.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund The ECB has been reducing interest rates to support the economy, lowering them from 4% to 3% over the past year. However, the recent spurt in inflation has led to doubts regarding the pace of future rate cuts, similar to the Fed.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund In any regard, it appears that the Dollar Milkshake is alive and well. This system is a cruel one- the lower DXY goes, the more dollar debt gets borrowed, and therefore the more pressure grows to push DXY higher since dollar demand is higher.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund Once it goes higher, however, these countries have to either let their currencies blow out or intervene using billions of dollars of reserves.

@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull

@SantiagoAuFund This ultimately leads to a stronger dollar and more capital inflows into the US, boosting equity and bond markets and keeping our Treasury market alive despite the massive debt load. America drinks their milkshake. (//END)

Speaker 0: Good afternoon, everyone. Before we get started, I wanna extend my sympathy to the millions of Americans who've had their lives turned upside down by hurricane Milton and hurricane Helene. I know I speak for all of us in expressing my gratitude to the first responders on the ground who are carrying out rescue missions. And I wanna thank all the volunteers who are helping their neighbors get through these storms. And now to the subject of today's announcement. Today, TD Bank pled guilty to multiple felonies, including conspiring to violate the Bank Secrecy Act and commit money laundering. TD Bank has also agreed to a $1,800,000,000 criminal penalty. Combined with civil enforcement actions announced today by other agencies, the United States will be imposing a total of approximately $3,000,000,000 against TD Bank. TD Bank created an environment that allowed financial crime to flourish. By making its services convenient for criminals, it became one. Today, TD Bank became the largest bank in US history to plead guilty to bank secrecy act program failures and the 1st bank in history to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering. This is also the largest ever penalty under the Bank Secrecy Act, and the first time the justice department has assessed a daily fine against a bank. As part of the plea agreement, TD Bank will fundamentally restructure its corporate compliant program at its US based bank, which is the 10th largest in the United States. The bank has also agreed to the imposition of a 3 year monitorship and a 5 year term of probation. While the bank has started its remediation, it will continue to remediate and improve its anti money laundering compliance program to ensure that the bank operates lawfully and safely moving forward.

Speaker 0: What's going on you guys? This is the ultra rare midnight video. But this is incredibly fascinating. It's going to be hard to explain. I want you to bear with me. Peruvian Bull posted earlier some swap data. He said it comes from GME Equity Swaps. Alright. So as we know, this data was not available immediately following the squeeze of January 2021. Now we've got a look into some data here. Alright. Some people are just gonna immediately go to the dollar amounts and say, that's incredible, especially because these are note notated in 1,000. So especially this grouping here at the bottom represents $87,000,000,000 in swaps that expire June 3rd. And then we've got several groupings up above that add up to a pretty significant amount of money, like, 1 point 5,000,000,000 or something like that. Alright. So what I found really interesting right away were the dates. So let me talk about what's going on with these dates. The the dates are in several groupings. The oldest ones in this list here are actually right here. They go back to May of 2022. And why is this period of time so interesting to me? It's always been an anomaly. This was when cost to borrow really ran up. I think I've got it open here on the chart right here. So this is that time period right here. And if we take that data and we look at our chart, we're looking at a significant, you know, purchase of swaps, half a $1,000,000,000, 500,000,000 dollars worth of swaps, which at the time at that price range would have represented about 20,000,000 shares. Well, what's what's interesting is this is during a inexplicable cycle, one of our, you know, last major cycles leading up into the stock dividend split. Right away, 2 2 days later, you can see enormous fails to deliver on XRT. And you can see cost of borrow runs up shortly after to 38%. And then you can see, the activity on the fails to deliver on GameStop. So this has always been, since I started tracking the data very closely, our most interesting period of time. So that stood out to me immediately. This swap data looks extremely realistic to me. The number of shares makes sense. The time period makes perfect sense. They would have been rolling into a new swap during this time, So their old swap would have been expiring, and they'd be picking up a new swap. And there'd be all kinds of exposure of their position during that time. Because the theory here is that, you know, to short a stock, you need to have a locate. Well, that locate needs to be borrowed from someone. However, in theory, some form of collateral, you know, like a swap might allow you to maintain a short position, as your collateral because, you know, in theory, you're good for that share down the road like an option. Right? The next batch of swaps is really interesting as well. It's a smaller batch. It's about $105,000,000 worth of swaps and it occurs right after the stock dividend split right here. So this would have represented 3,200,000 shares. You know, not a lot, but it's a 2 year swap or so. And it occurs right after the stock dividend split. So somebody might have needed some shares right then. The final batch is enormous out of these top ones. It occurs in August and we're used to there being August cycles. So this one's about $900,000,000 over the course of about a week and a half. Alright? And it represents approximately at the time 27,000,000 shares. So across the whole thing, you've got, like, 15,000,000 shares represented in today's number of shares. Okay? Or, you know, how much would that be? One sixth of the outstanding represented by these swaps. Right? What's really fascinating to me right away is they all, instead of being 2 year duration bullet swaps, expire at the end of this month. Right? That's what's gonna stand out to everybody. But why would they do that? Why would they specifically have them all expire at the end of May? Right? That's that's bizarre. Okay. And then this final batch down here is extremely interesting. So these ones were all entered in May of last year. So let me go back to the chart here. That would have been after these guys. So these are the newest ones. What's concerning about this is that's $87,000,000,000 in swaps. Right? And at the the share price at that particular time, that represents anywhere from 2 to, like, 4 or 5,000,000,000 shares. Okay? So all you do is you take the notational value of the swap divided by the underlying price. I'm just taking like an average across the previous 5 days. And that's what it seems to do because what's incredibly interesting is when you look at the chart here, when they are getting this new swap to the day this chart's gonna look ultra confusing, but I'll explain it all really quick. They enter a swap here. That was our deep blow after Ryan Cohen bought in in 2022. They bought swaps here. This was after the stock dividend split when they started, like, aggressively hammering the price down. And they entered this gigantic $87,000,000,000 series of swaps when they took the price down real low back here. Even after the start after the company had announced, you know, like an incredible earnings call. So they're they're gonna have to run down, and this has always been a theory of mine. If they're gonna roll a swap, you need the price as low as possible to do so. And that would be your target price. Right? You're gonna hail Mary the the price down to get a better deal on your swap. You just have to. Right? Then let it run for a while afterwards. You don't really care, in the interim till you have to roll it again. Okay? So when I started to look at this, I was like, okay. That's lining up incredibly well. Like, to me, these these are the time periods we're familiar with May, August. Right? But where are the other ones? Where where are the swaps coming in afterwards and all that kind of stuff? And and I started to think about my my swap theory from back in the day. And you'll remember these videos. This was about a year ago. And I had started to produce something that looked like this. Let me let me open it up and see what see what I can show you guys on the screen here. I had started to look at the volumetric data, on GameStop. Let's see if I can make this the appropriate size on the screen here. There we go. This is an old PowerPoint. And I looked at all the data going back back to 2012 and noticed that there were these repeated patterns and spikes of extraordinary volume that far outweighed the background data, which is extremely small. And it's just a handful of days that landed in March, May, August and sometimes in November. Right? And January a bit. Alright? So in, you know, retrospect I realized, well that has to do with the earnings cadence on GameStop. Right? GameStop would put out January guidance. They don't do quarter 1 earnings until March. They're a month delayed. Late May, early June would be when quarter, what would that be? Oh, sorry. This would be q 4. This would be, q 1 and the shareholders meeting during, you know, summer. And then you have q2 and q3. Right? So it makes sense. You would have a lot of volume. Right? But then what I started to think about was, like, but what if they were, you know, running this thing down? Because when you look at the peak here after the PlayStation 4 and, Xbox 1 release, this thing's been getting run down ever since. Right? And you can look at these little ups and downs. And I started to think, well, there's a little bit of something going on here where every time they pushed it down, it popped up a bit a year later. And I was maybe just a little bit wrong. It's not a year later. It's 2 years later. These are bullet swaps. I was actually onto something here and now I think I figured it out. So I'm gonna show you guys what I think is the, the answer to our puzzle. And I'm hesitant to even say that in this video. I don't want to get people too excited. But what are we looking at here? So currently, in the data that Peruvian bull just put out this this evening, we've got data on the following swaps. This grouping of swaps from mid 2022, and that's basically it, and some kind of monster behemoth swap of $87,000,000,000. Right? And all of these are expiring this coming end of month. So why would that be? Why would you buy, bullet swaps or whatever these are and not have them go for the typical 2 years? Right? Why would you and why would this one be a 1 year? Exactly. Like, almost exactly a 1 year duration. Here's my theory. What they've been doing is managing the existing position, which was a series of bullet swaps being entered into in, you know, in the earnings call months. As we know, March, May, August, and November. So these would have been going back years. So here's a bullet swap. It was entered into in November. You can see the, the red, you know, you can see the dip right there. They crushed the price down with that excess 20 to 30 1,000,000 shares. At the time, it would have probably been more like 10,000,000 that would have been presplit. That's significant when the outstanding back then was only, like, 70,000,000 or so shares. And then the swap is due 2 years later. They enter a new swap, and then, you know, it would be due 2 years later. I feel that the last of these series of bullet swaps that they could safely enter into were these 2 here. This would have been, March or sorry. May of 2020. This would have been right after COVID. And then this would have been August of 2020. So 3 months later, but then we all know that Ryan Cohen started buying in. That signal to them to cease what they were doing. And then so what happens here is this. This is it's gonna be hard to follow. I'm hoping this this presents well. But, basically, all of these run ups, I had said in the last video, it's probably options related, probably swaps. The the last of those swaps, getting rolled before basically they all start getting rolled into the the super big swap. So let me explain how this works. So you got this swap that was, rolled in March of 2019. It's due to expire in March of 2021. That's when this thing's all gone to the moon. This is where it begins. They say, you know what? We can't roll this thing into another bullet because then it's gonna produce another cycle 2 year later. Let's put it in a giant 1 year equity agreement that's gonna be managed somewhere else. And that's why we got no previous cycle or next cycle 2 years later off of this this one. So we saw a gigantic run up on the stock here in March, enormous, which the company sold shares into. It went up to $350. And then rather than pick up another bullet swap, they started immediately dumping everything they could into this gigantic swap here, whatever it is. Some kind of basket or something. I don't know. It could have all been baskets before this, but something big happened here. They put it into this thing. Right? The next swap was from June, late May early June of 2019. That expires and causes the giant run up into June. Again, we hit $350. GameStop issue shares into it. They roll it into a bullet because they can't put it immediately into this big thing. But they like they've done with these recent ones, they just set the duration until the next May. Right? And then when they re up this thing, it gets bigger. They just put it in there. Alright? And that's what they did with the August one. We got an August cycle. They rolled it for a little bit and then dumped it in at this one and make it bigger. And that's what they're doing. This thing's getting bigger and bigger and bigger. It's like a black hole as it eats all these and all the cycles disappear. And then something that occurred to me as I've always wondered about why there was no November cycle in 2021. And I had presumed in that last video, like, a long time ago when I was doing all this, that it would have been because they probably didn't enter a swap in 2020. That would have been post Ryan Cohen. Right? That would have been extremely dangerous to do. But I was working on, like, a 1 year swap premise. If it's a 2 year, then it would have been right after GameStop's, 2 share buybacks. Stock was running up. Cost of borrow was, like, a 100%. It was on ratio. There was all kinds of madness going on back here. So they would have not entered that November swap, and that would explain why there was no November cycle in 2020. And thus they didn't have to put that thing into into here. Alright? So that kinda like literally everything. I think that's a pretty quick explanation. But basically you can see the anatomy of the crime right in front of us. Each of these is a staggered, like, layering of these 2 year swaps around a 3 month cadence. And they've been steadily just parking them all in this gigantic growing super swap down here. Right? That's expiring on June 3rd. But, unfortunately, what that means is let me find it here. The last time they rolled it, there wasn't a huge run up. So this thing must be gigantic and somehow not have an impact on price like bullet swaps do. So I'm not sure how that how that works. So I I think people are extremely excited about the month to come. I am too, because there's still all of these guys expiring, and they should be rolling them into the big one. Alright? But, I don't know if that's gonna produce a cycle or not, like a a swap cycle. I'm still super excited for, like, the OpEx tailwind on on June 6th though. So potentially, this could produce cyclical activity. But, I'm actually just terrified. Honestly, I I am actually legitimately terrified because if that is truly an $87,000,000,000 swap and it's being renewed every year, the monthly premium on that thing, because it shows that it's being all these are being paid monthly, I believe. Where it'll show yeah. Right here. So just like in the big short, Michael Burry was having to pay out monthly on his swaps. They're paying out monthly, and they're just they're just losing their premium every month because the stock price is just it can't possibly go down. But if if that's their side of the trade, that is an egregious position. That represents over 2,000,000,000 shares, maybe up to 4,000,000,000 shares. Which makes sense given, like, how long they were doing this for all the way back from this time period, 2014, all the way down. And they put all the bullets into one spot. And they kinda curtailed the squeeze by putting everything in there and probably cleaning up everything they borrowed from, XRT and all the other ETFs, mutual funds. They they basically ripped all all the shares of GameStop out of. Right? So they've got this gigantic naked position here, and I think it's exposed now. I think we can we basically can see what's happening. But now that the the company is really healthy, the stock's doing, like, a bullish crossover. And, like, what are they gonna do with this? Like, chip away at it? I guess they could, like, each time they roll it, not go in as deep and, like, actually buy some shares. And then maybe we see this thing, like, the price just basically every 12 months, like, run up a bit as they try to whittle away at this position over the next, like, many years? How do you how do you manage a position that egregious? That that to me, you know, we've always talked about it. The idea that they could be short a 1000000000 shares or 2,000,000,000 shares. Now we see it. It's it's literally just right here in like, that's crazy to me. So if that's the case, and it seems to make a lot of sense. Like, the durations on them and everything line up, and would explain all the cycles and the lack of cycles specifically after specific key dates. So I've put this, on this new tab here. It's called bullet swap black hole. And if you wanna check it out, you can. But it explains the cost of our surge in 2022. It explains why we didn't have a November cycle, it explains why the cycles ever since have been super muted if existing at all, Because the bullet swaps have all been put into basically what must be the obligations warehouse if if that's what this thing is, behind the scenes. And it's interesting to me that when UBS got their, you know, Credit Suisse deal and picked this whole thing up back here, They basically needed a $100,000,000,000 lifeline. That's awful close to what we're seeing as the the total cost of this whole position. $87,000,000,000 plus the bullets that are still outstanding. So, that's that's the video, you guys. You can tell me what you think, but, that's crazy. So, anyway, thank you to Peruvian Bolt. Let me know what you guys think about the whole thing, if you can add any details. And I'll see you guys in the next one. Monday should be super interesting. We'll see in a few hours here what happens at market open.

This is the correct take. Ken Griffin is not some rugged entrepreneur who started from nothing and built a company by himself. He was also bailed out during COVID. His “innovation” is front running retail orders to steal a couple cents from you every time you trade.

Just another rich to richer story 😂 Lets do a quick rewrite: “Ken Griffin started a hedge fund from his Harvard dorm using today’s equivalent of a million dollars from his rich family. He built a portfolio that made money when volatility was higher and ended up getting crazy lucky because of a once in a lifetime volatility event. This is a great tale of how the rich continue to get richer without doing any REAL WORK.”
