Retail is about to get Rugpulled
The 2 charts here are Total Risk exposure of Institutional Brokers worldwide, and Quantitative Easing (Money printing) activities of The US Fed reserve. Both of these graphs are trending in 1 direction as of 2025 and by no coincidence it’s the same direction the Nasdaq and Russell have been going in since 2025 began as well. To all the commentators saying “everyone is selling” and “there is blood in the streets now” and “be greedy when others are fearful” have no clue what they are actually talking about. Retail inflows into stocks are at ALL TIME HIGHS as of end of February 2025. This means that everyone YOU know (cuz I know you don’t know anyone working for Medallion, Citadel, Bridgewater, Berkshire, Vanguard or Blackrock) who is interested in buying stocks is most likely actively buying them rn. Meanwhile the people who you don’t know (you know the ones that actually get paid multiple times your yearly salary in 1 day for investing) are NOT buying.
Retail is actively being rugged right now and every single Institutional Investor, Analyst, or Pundit you (The Retail Trader) see on CNBC, FOX Business, or whatever legacy investing tv networks still exist is LYING to you about what their firm is currently doing behind closed doors. The big investors all understand that with the International economic situation going on (Yen Carry Trade has blown up) and the Policies coming from the White House (Inflationary trade war) there is not only guaranteed to be no more QE, but if you go by the QE graph above anyone good at reading trends is very likely betting on accelerating QT being the next phase of Monetary policy
