HOW MUCH MONEY I'VE LOST INVESTING:
My stock portfolio is down 16% - I’ve lost close to $100,000 year to date. So stocks are obliterated. My crypto portfolio - I’m down over a 100%, I used to have $1.2 million at the peak - now it’s worth less than half that. The only thing that’s not doing so bad is real estate, and that’s only because real estate moves at a turtle’s pace but the pain is coming there too.

WHY IS EVERYTHING FALLING?
Here’s the explain like I’m 5 version of why everything is falling apart. Let’s rewind 2 years ago. We got the 2020 global pandemic - and people were let go. In response - the market was given an elixir of revival and it got drunk from all the free money from the government, to stimulate it even more - we dropped interest rates to 0 and flooded the economy with money.

The stock market became insanely happy, and it went on a 2 year binge where it partied like no tomorrow. Tech stocks took off, companies that weren’t even profitable were trading at crazy valuations, risky speculative stuff like NFTs flourished, people were buying pictures of rocks for over a million dollars, the average price of a house went to $428,000 and crypto went to the moon.

Now the buzz is slowly starting to end and we’re seeing who partied a little too hard. That’s the eli5 version.

WHAT'S THE TECHNICAL BREAKDOWN?
One of the reasons is - we got the CPI data in - the thing we use to measure inflation and Economists expected 8.1%, but we got 8.3% - rent, food, airline tickets and new cars were the biggest reasons inflation was high in April.

THE GOOD:
The glass half full way to look at that is it’s .2% lower than March when we got 8.5% so this could be a signal that we’re headed lower because we finally seen the worst of inflation. We’re cooling off. That’s the glass half full.

THE BAD:
The glass half empty way of looking at it is - 8.3% is still insanely high. Normal inflation needs to be 2-3% and there’s no guarantee we’re slowing down. In fact if we look at the popular “core inflation” metric which doesn’t include food and gas prices - we actually doubled - from .3% in March to .6% in April. So in reality - even though the overall number is slightly smaller - inflation isn’t really slowing down.

WHY IS CRYPTO CRASHING THOUGH?
Crypto crashed partially thanks to Terra Luna which crashed over 99% of it’s value. Here is a more technical breakdown thanks to OnChain Wizard: https://twitter.com/onchainwizard/sta...

In a nutshell: it was a billion dollar attack which forced the Terra Luna foundation to start selling off Bitcoin to keep the peg of Terra to $1. If the attacker covers their "short" position - they'll stand to make over $800 million in the process. Even though Bitcoin wasn't directly affected, the price was indirectly impacted.

IS THE MARKET GOING TO GET WORSE?
Most likely, watch the video to find out how.

    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Anxiety and economic woes are daily news nowadays, in this decade of COVID, disruption and global geopolitical issues. With everything in crisis, even our social models, we can get lost in the details and the negativity. We will survive this decade (hopingly) as we have done every time as species, but there is a good possibility that things will get worse, much worse, before getting better. The paradigm shift we are leaving is always a difficult time, and not all societies, ideas, values etc will survive it. New ones will appear while others will transform. Let's be prepared for the passage both as individuals, communities and societies.
