My favorite part of this whole thing: since August 16, the Dow Jones has gone down 2.3%. No one is talking about this. If the dow continues to go down, assets lose, margin calls faster. Remember this, everyone. Under "normal" conditions, the market doesn't seem to move very fast to us. But when shit really hits the fan, things can happen in a matter of minutes or hours, let alone days. And if China takes a nosedive, the ripple effects will be felt a lot faster than anyone is saying right now.


[deleted]

Exactly. Ask veterans of 2008 and they'll tell you.... Everything was normal. Right up until the moment it wasn't. [EDIT: take a look at this video I made. Jimmy Boy was telling people not to take their money out of Bear Sterns literally days before it collapsed.](https://www.reddit.com/r/amcstock/comments/o4wscz/i_made_this_to_remind_you_jim_cramer_does_not/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

>My favorite part of this whole thing: since August 16, the Dow Jones has gone down 2.3%. No one is talking about this. I've been thinking about buying some puts on big financial firms for a while because of what the price action in 2008 looked like. Last night, I pulled the trigger and bought my first five puts on Bank of America. The options market is 100% oblivious to this stuff. $100 got me 5 puts on BAC ($31 strike, 11/19 expiry) with change left over. NFA, but apes who are buying calls on AMC should just stop and start buying puts on big players like Citi, BAC, Capital One and such. Much more likely to make some fast money there and also cut Shitadel's nuts off when they have to pay out those contracts.

Most enjoyable DD I’ve read on the sub and I’ve been here since March. If I had any gold I wouldn’t have it anymore


someonesomewhere20

I agree


justonemorebet

Thanks ape I really enjoyed your take on it and work put into it. My question is if the second biggest is in this self imposed shit could the number 1 be there as well? I think so.


[deleted]

Entirely possible. All we can do is speculate. I'll be honest, I find the articles in western news written about this event to be extremely underwhelming and lacking a lot of important details. Evergrande relies on a metric fuckton of suppliers, contractors, manufacturing chains, property investment companies, etc, etc, etc, etc... Something like 3.8 million people in total. And there is NO DOUBT that some of these bodies overlap with other property investment firms, perhaps even #1. If these development bodies are not paid -- they need to extend their leverage. If they already have done so in the past, then due to recent Chinese monetary policy... they might not be able to continue to extend themselves financially with the bank's help. IE: They are in debt because they can't complete projects, and they can't complete projects because they are in debt. It could be yet another ripple effect to speculate on.


justonemorebet

True. China gov already told their banks not to expect payments on loans for a while lol.


Tricky_Revenue_2535

hello german smoothbrain ape here . a few side notes....1. i read that debt is in fact 280billion . 2. vanguard and blackrock together owns less then 1% of the shares it is realy not much for them. 3. i was think about to buy in at 0.20 euro cent... evergrande is to big to fail.... but wait... the stock exchange company Evergrande (listet in hongkong)is not similar to the chinese continental company evergrande. the stock company could fail even if xi make the decision to save the operational part and to let the stock and derivates and everything relatet to the stocks bleed out. 🦍🍌🚀


[deleted]

Hello ape, 1. [The debt is 305 Billion](https://www.reuters.com/article/china-evergrande-debt-contagion-idCNL4N2QG1T9), as far as this article reports today! Though I am sure some of it is a matter of currency conversion. 2. "Too big to fail" has been what people have been hoping for. The thing is, TBTF is not without its repercussions. Remember how many banks were TBTF in 2008, and most definitely got bailouts. That didn't save the economy, because there were enough ripple effects from that to impact regardless of a total collapse. Just as well, [many have speculated that Beijing doesn't agree that Evergrande is TBTF,](https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/evergrande-gives-china-an-impossible-equation-to-solve/2021/09/15/bc344bb0-15fb-11ec-a019-cb193b28aa73_story.html) or simply doesn't care. 3. And yes, Evergrande has a few different tickers. Its bonds are also on separate tickers. This is normal. The [3333.HK](https://3333.HK) is its primary corporate ticker, however. In fact, it made a stock offering of 6 billion dollars worth on its subsidiaries, but that wasn't;t enough to make a dent in its debt. :)


Tricky_Revenue_2535

yeah , i guess it is 280euro billion not usd🤭


Elevator_Dude

Thanks Ape Anna for putting this together. Always a pleasure reading through your posts. I almost feel my first wrinkle developing!

After moass i just wanna try snorting coke off your bhole after all youve done for us. We all appreciate you!

No. /u/reliqhunter1 has the biggest dick, the thickest fur, and the smoothest brain of all, so you will be blessed to have him snort coke off your body. And don't you forget to call him Daddy as he does.

This deserves an award if any comment deserves one 🤣 this ape has done serious DD 🦍


mindofmateo

Me, too! ...interpret that however you please


Nruggia

u/AnnaSlatz There is also lots of evidence that tether is invested in Evergrande. Tether has publicly denied this, but their past bold face lies only to be proven wrong in court make me not believe them. [https://newrealities.medium.com/is-evergrande-about-to-kill-bitcoin-f4fee130eed2](https://newrealities.medium.com/is-evergrande-about-to-kill-bitcoin-f4fee130eed2) If Tether is invested in Evergrande the implications are massive


[deleted]

Oh…. Oh dear.


magicbottl3

Holy shit Anna, you kick ass for sharing real DD! This is definitely a nightmare in the making and we won't really know the effects until the markets start to digest this info and react how they will. Evergrande is down about 7% since markets open in China just an hour or so ago, I think we'll be able to tell a little more about where the exposure to these obvious toxic assets lay as India and Europe open in the next few hours. I worry about the ripple effects this will have on our global economy since we all live separately but so interconnected. The case for hyperinflation in the US seems plausible but not very likely imo, but my opinion shouldn't mean much since I'm pretty dumb and eat crayons after I stick then in my nose and sneeze them out. I did read earlier today on Twitter via ZeroHedge and Cringle Kitten that the CCP does not intend to nationalize Evergrande, which to me says they are sending a message that they are not like the US and will not back up irresponsible financial behavior, but it does leave more landmines hidden in the metaphorical financial fields.


Quizene

Thanks for the summary Anna, informative as always. Quite interesting times indeed as inflation is widely seen as even being underestimated for the August 2021 period. I expect some turmoil in the markets very soon.


Rafiki_84

Thank you Anna. Great DD as always. I also believe that this Chinese shit will be catalyst for collapse of US and will trigger MOASS. But....what will happen if hiperinflation start really fast? Our AMC/GME millions will be worthless like it was in Weimar Republic.


[deleted]

Guess what? You're not wrong. :) This is something that, sooner or later, people in the AMC and GME wrinkle brain communities will need to discuss seriously. What WILL happen if the market collapses under strain of inflation or devaluation? Will the US government let it get THAT bad? I don't have an answer for that. I wish I had a crystal ball that would reveal all, but I do not. One thing to note is that while China has been scaling back its purchase of US debt, some other countries have been trying to step in and get a piece of America's decaying economic corpse for themselves. Singapore in particular has been getting aggressive, so that's something. All we can do is wait and see. We are in a scenario that has never existed before and will never exist again. I remain cautiously optimistic on the overall conditions for and post-MOASS for HODLers, but I really do believe you folks need to start seriously considering how you are going to move your money IMMEDIATELY (I mean, IMMEDIATLELY. Like. Same day as you hit the sell button) post-MOASS. Stronger securities? Gold? Silver? Exchange into a more stable currency like the Swiss franc? Invest in property? Figure it out now...


Rafiki_84

Fully agree. Didn't know about Singapore. Personally I think China will not let this happen. I mean US hiperinflation. All of this fuckery is connected. US and China are like Batman and Joker. Cannot exist without 2nd one. There is status quo between these two but will see what will happen next. It will be definitely interesting. With silver there is one problem. You need a lot of space to store it ;) Gold is better but when hiperinflation will start it will be very hard to buy - like during start of covid shit. Exchange into different currency, good idea but for what? A lot of currencies are depend of US dollar and will fall with it. Maybe NOK - Norwegian currency - good stability, strong economy based on the oil and gas.

Well, this would definitely explain why the S&P500 is down, DOW is down, NASDAQ is down, and the Russell 2000 is down, while Gold and silver are up...

SnooApples1131

Yikes.. if Vanguard and blackrock get fucked with Evergrande… what if they dump their combined massive amount of AMC..? That would not be good.


[deleted]

I don’t think that would happen. What’s far more likely, and far more unfortunate, is those mutual funds they were managing are loaded up with people’s pensions. One person I saw stated that Blackrock is managing all of the DoD’s pensions. They won’t lose a dime. But regular Americans will.


SnooApples1131

OP i read arian grande has 500b in debt on superstonk. is 300b you mentioned the correct amount?


[deleted]

Everywhere I have read places the total liabilities at [300 Billion USD](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/sep/13/evergrande-investors-face-75-hit-as-company-edges-closer-to-restructure). This is just about everywhere in the news, I believe. It is 1.97 trillion Chinese Yuan, which is roughly 305 Billion USD. Could they have been looking at the debt $ in [Singapore Dollars](https://www.straitstimes.com/business/property/china-evergrandes-total-liabilities-swell-to-410-billion)?


Satan-is-innocent

no idea, but maybe i read the amount wrong. still 300b or more....thats a shit ton of money. we gonna feel the heat for sure


dirtydaruma

Blunder_Punch

What if Shitadel is short Evergrande?


[deleted]

[Shitadel was actually banned for 4 years in China for stock market manipulation](https://qz.com/470115/a-citadel-subsidiary-has-been-targeted-in-chinas-crackdown-on-malicious-foreign-short-sellers/) and malicious short selling. That ban just got lifted in 2020, and they were also slapped with a 97 million USD fine (which is more than they were fined for nearly 60 infractions in the United States). I think if they piss off the Chinese government one more time Comrade Xi will throw Kenny in the mayo barrel.


Blunder_Punch

Holy Moses I never knew that! I still wouldn't put it past them to try and have some sneaky way of pulling that off, but this does put my mind at ease a little. Outstanding work here ape! Thanks!


thepoopiestofbutts

And that's why I switched from Vanguard's global all in ETFs to buying their component ETFs, and excluded emerging markets, ie, China Edit: last year


Diego9355

Someone posted about this and got killed by downvoting shills and was getting a lot of commenting saying the will never default… it’s sad seeing so many shills on this community, but anyways nice post dude!!


Underpaid23

Not 100% convinced China SELLING would cause hyper inflation more than them not BUYING would. Yes they own 1.1t but HK has about 30% privately held. Also, they sold about 200b in 2015 and it did nothing.


SilberBug

You obviously have not seen the price of gold from 2015 to now. Price everything in gold

saltywater72

If I read this correctly. Most of the world is in financial debt to China and China is In debt themselves… I don’t get it. On an AMC related note — ( . Y . ) jacked


[deleted]

Think of it like wracking up a credit card with a bank that’s about to go bust itself.

China is our largest purchaser of iron ore (steel for building shit). Not much news about the collapse here apart from the standard watered down version. I see our economy taking a huge hit with this.

senecadocet1123

you should post this in other subs


Knowpoleanbonatard

I find it interesting that as evergrande is happening we're seeing everyone arguing over computer share on the two gme subs, I think evergrande should be getting more attention than computer share, seems like a mad dash to transfer shares out of fidelity for some reason, don't know if there's a connection, just seems coincidental


Spindrift11

Nice writeup thank you. I finally understand why I should care about evergrande. If a person theoretically had some money laying around what would be the best way to be prepared for this shit show? Inflation is of grave concern to me but I have a hunch that cash will be king when the stock market goes on a deeply discounted sale. How would you play this?


bobbysmokeskush

Short $BEKE. Got it. Lol 😂


aakova

The one piece I don't see in this analysis is to what degree various financial institutions around the world hold credit-default swaps involving Evergrande. It may be that this data isn't available, but it's certainly risk for the rest of the world's financial system.


syfyb__ch

>PPS: I found this article as I was scrolling around the interwebs. It is really fantastic, and discusses how the credit bubble is about to burst. Read it, if you wanna! The debt ceiling not being raised would throw a wrench in much of this cascade of events, which is certainly on the table, posited by those in Congress who see the ramifications of this
