"I want to circle back to positioning one more time - b/c it has played a large role in recent price action - and, I’ll hazard a guess on the month ahead..."
QUICK POINTS, CHARTS:
1. I want to circle back to positioning one more time - b/c it has played a large role in recent price action - and, I’ll hazard a guess on the month ahead:
i. the discretionary trading community is decently risked up. 
ii. the systematic trading community -- think CTA / risk parity / vol control -- have turned buyer and can certainly increase length from here.  
 iii.  within the retail cohort, I’d argue there’s a clear demographic divide. the Boomers are selling equity mutual funds and ETFs most every single week ... that totals $73bn of YTD outflows. 
iv. looking ahead, both the June expiry and quarter end should be on the radar screen
2. as pointed out by sales & trading colleague Brian Friedman, suffice it to saythe Fed has largely suppressed interest rate volatility.
3. if I had to sum it up in a line: risk sentiment is considerably less bearish than it was just one month ago, but it’s hard to find many genuine bulls within the professional trading community.
As you can see in CHART below the latest GS Quick Poll data (link), sentiment on risk assets is better balanced today as compared to months, but it’s by no means extended (and the distribution suggests few people believe in tail outcomes, where I’m still inclined to be open-minded, particularly on the laggards; more available):
SEE CHART: Sentiment

4. through all the volatility of recent months, I find it notable that investor focus on the ESG theme has remained intact, if not accelerated (link).  this is evident in both the performance of the ESG factor and actual fund flow.  this is worth underlining: ESG fund flows represent 31% of all global fund flows YTD (link).  here’s one implementation that I like structurally: GSXURNEW is a basket of 31 US companies that stand to benefit from a transition to cleaner energy.  this is the basket vs S&P:
SEE CHART:

5. perhaps rightly, there’s an open question right now on the dominance of US assets on a go-forward basis.  well, as the old Dreyfus ads used to say: past performance is no indication of future results ... but, it is something to consider (link):
SEE MAIN CHART: 
Equity /Bond Portfolio Performance Across Regions

6. to the point up top on the US travel and leisure industry, this survey of 27 corporates was notably positive (link).  importantly, as pointed out to me by sales & trading colleague Scott Feiler, this comes from a starting point of deep bearishness and skepticism.  many assume these data points are just stimulus-driven or pent-up demand off an extremely low base; the surprise would be if these consumer trends prove to be more durable than just the initial bounce:

The daytrader gambler who bought at $84.75 after hours in hopes of finding an even greater idiot to sell to - such as Jerome Powell perhaps - will be disappointed.
How insane is this "market"? So insane that shale pioneer Chesapeake, which for weeks has been rumored to be on the verge of bankruptcyexploded by over 300% from Friday's closing print of $25 to $84.75 after the close.
SEE CHART
No more dumb money?

Well, the daytrader gambler who bought at $84.75 after hours in hopes of finding an even greater idiot to sell to - such as Jerome Powell perhaps - will be disappointed because as Bloomberg reported shortly after the close, Chesapeake is preparing a bankruptcy filing that could hand control of the oil and gas company to its senior lenders, as in no value to existing equity, which as of the close on Thursday had a market cap of $684 million, an increase of over 425% in the past two days!
For those who are about to say that there may be some value to the equity, just a take look at the June 2021 bonds which are about to default and are trading at 3 cents on the dollar and just keep your mouth shut.
SEE CHART

Here's what Chesapeake equity holders (at the very bottom of the capital structure, in case you did not know) have to overcome to get any value:
1. Debtor-in-Possession Financing: Amount large enough to pay lawyers, bankers etc. during bankruptcy.
2. Secured Bank Debt: $3.4 billion outstanding and said cue outrage mob at the deadly rallies
3. 2nd Lien Debt: $2.33 bln outstanding. Trading at $0.055 on the dollar. $2.2 bln total impairment
4. Senior Unsecured Notes: $3.34 bln outstanding. Trading around $0.05 on the dollar. $3.2 bln total impairment.
5. Equity: 9.783 mm shares out trading at $66.50. $650mm equity cap
Bottom Line:
Debt with a principal balance of $5.67 bln currently trades with a total impairment of $5.4 bln.
That debt would need to be made whole before equity holders received anything.
In other words - "Mark it Zero!"
But while the dumb money appears to have run out of greater fools (or Feds) to sell to in CHK, bankrupt HTZ is still soaring after hours (up a stunning 170% today alone)...
SEE CHART:

Is bankrupt Hertz about to become the new Volkswagen as shorts suffer the indignation of being 100% fundamentally correct about value but far off in the mentally unstable market's willingness to price in any possibility of upside.
Maybe HTZ should consider selling some stock here?

DEFEAT MILITARY FASCISM: THE CORE OF RACISM TODAY
Hugo Adan
6/8/2020
This is my reaction to the article below:
LISTEN THIS:
"We are aware of efforts by individuals linked to America's adversaries... to instigate conflict, help incite violence, and divide Americans by exploiting peaceful protests" — Trump admin official
….
….
Who is instigating  phobias Against “American adversaries” ?
Those who did it are clearly fostering military fascism in US & WW3
Key Qt: WHO IS SUCH  ‘Trump admin -official’ ?  Is that POMPEO ++?
I do have a collection of quotes from him, that is Why I suspect him.
If he is the main instigator of military dictatorship on Americans?..
Why is he in power?  Who is behind him? Is WW3 his aim now?
IF WW3 is his aim.. THEN: He is anti-Anti-American & anti-global humanity.
He know that WW3 leads to MAD & global infestation with nuke radiation.
Is TRUMP supporting him? .. besides Corp  of the Military Indust Complex.
IF SO.. Our nation must demand to Sup.Court his resignation + whole team
WE NEED A CLEAR TRANSITION TO PEACE, FREDOM & JUSTICE
WE NEED TO INITIATE THE DISMANTLE OF NUKES WORLD WIDE
FASCISM  HAVE NOT SPACE IN AMERICA and NOT at WORLD level.
WE MUST STOP THEM NOW! HOW? By ABSTENTION in US ELECTIONS
Why? Because both Trump & Biden are racist & supporters of WW3,
They don’t say so, but that silence is a sign of complicity nowadays.
We do not have a 3rd choice to vote, not point in voting the lesser evil.
HOW to avoid WW3?  By demanding a UN Gen-A to order dismantle NUKES
HOW? NO VOTING  BIDEN.. THE SILENCE VOICE of FASCISM from Billionaires
PEOPLE IS ELECTING REV NOW. The buying of  votes is a mock to Democracy
REV FOR PEACE, FREDOM, JUSTICE and REAL DEMOCRACY is Peoples aim
REVOLUTION  WILL WIN!!
US PEOPLE  WANTS RADICAL CHANGE & PEOPLE WILL GOT IT!!

Max and Stacy ask whether or not wrestling is real or fake. And apply the metaphor of ‘professional’ wrestling to the media entertainment industry, where partisan ‘wrestlers’ (aka ‘journalists’) battle it out for Good versus Evil. In the second half, Max talks to Isaiah Jackson, author of "Bitcoin and Black America," about the economic, monetary and financial injustice at the heart of the unrest there.
