Hedge fund supervisor Hugh Hendry is betting on Bitcoin (BTC) and low rates of interest subsequent yr.
Hendry says there “at all times two ever-present tail dangers” in a brief volatility funding technique, which goals to revenue off decreases in market volatility by promoting choices.
“Do you purchase the decision possibility that the Magazine-7 change into capitalized at 100% of GDP or that charges descend quickly to the decrease sure?
That’s why I hold hammering on about observing the place inventory ranges are on the day of the following minimize. I’m working a barbell: lengthy BTC and lengthy calls on <2% Fed Funds at yr finish 2025
I’m in fact uncovered to a monitoring error, that shares surge and bitcoin is flat or down on some idiosyncratic information. I’m content material to run that danger.”
Magazine-7 refers back to the “Magnificent Seven” tech shares: Alphabet (GOOGL; GOOG), Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Meta Platforms (META), Microsoft (MSFT), NVIDIA (NVDA), and Tesla (TSLA).
Hendry additionally compares Bitcoin’s measurement to the Invesco QQQ, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) based mostly on the Nasdaq-100 Index.
“BTC is everybody’s phantom, good or unhealthy. In actuality, its MASS renders it irrelevant to this dialog however extremely enticing for upside consideration. Within the sport of Newton’s Cradle, MASS is paramount at this time, it’s the outlier.
BTC’s capitalization is simply $1 trillion. QQQ is $42 trillion. The Qs, or relatively the $13 trillion within the Magazine-7, are due to this fact the one consideration. Financial institution inventory lending renders the robustness of that valuation paramount. If that melts, the credit score unravels, the margin name is immense.
Maybe doesn’t occur, but when I had been a financial institution I’d be circumspect concerning the moneyness of that collateral. I’d be making an attempt to contra-cyclically cut back my belongings, markets and their liquidity allowing. By moneyness I imply the pledged belongings’ proximity to a t-bill. Your t-bill ain’t gonna lose 83% of its worth over the following 18 months.
Bur shares capitalized at these vaunted ranges vis-a-vis GDP have periodically suffered such reversals.”
