ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR INVESTMENT PROFESSIONAL BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT DECISION

December 19, 2020 | Glorious New Issue Markets and Turn-Of-The-Year Tops

Bob Hoye has been in investment business for some 50 years, making him one of the more experienced researchers. His historical work has been thorough providing the first recognition of the fascinating transition from speculation in commodities to speculation in financial assets. It was controversial when Bob observed that “No matter how much the Fed prints, stocks will outperform commodities”. In January 2000, the research team concluded that the Dot-Com Bubble would peak in March 2000. In early 2007, the team outlined that the credit markets would reverse in May-June 2007. They did and the stock market followed. The latest was the call in early October for the Bitcoin Bubble to complete in December. Bob’s essays and speeches on political change and on actual climate change have been widely circulated.

No need to expand upon “Glorious”, but a “New Issue Market” invites some detailing.  Historically, one of the features of a mature bull market is that the demand for stocks excites a rush by underwriters to take private companies public. Such offerings have been called new issues. Certainly from their wild record with the South Sea Bubble of 1720 to the 1970s when the lamentable “Initial Public Offering” or “IPO” began to be used.  Perhaps confected by some zombie lawyer tediously proofing every line of too many prospectuses.
