QQQBullunverifiable
“I'm hopeful that in the short term we could bounce next week once we get through earnings and we digest the Fed.”
Thesis at the time
MixedKevin notes the QQQ/Nasdaq 100 rejected the 675-680 level and sold off after Warsh's comments, reflecting market discomfort with the Fed's lack of forward guidance. He is hopeful for a short-term bounce next week once earnings and Fed commentary are digested, while cautioning about medium-term risks from higher bond yields.
Key arguments
- QQQ rejected 675 and 680 during Warsh's commentary and collapsed into the close
- Market sold off due to lack of Fed guidance, not necessarily due to hawkish action
- Higher borrowing costs from bond market repricing could eventually hurt smaller companies more than mega caps
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Rate hike odds for September actually fell yet the market still sold off, which he calls 'very interesting'
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Creator acknowledges missing the live stream and providing a summary interpretation
- Analysis is based on interpretation of Fed principles (Goodhart's Law and Lucas Critique) rather than explicit policy statements
- Creator notes 63 months of inflation concerns, acknowledging legitimate market impatience
