12-16-2025 New Bear Trend Is “Nothing from Nothing”
————————-
Nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’. Bears gotta have somethin’ if they wanna trend to be.
EU leadership has neither money nor voters’ support to stop the US-Russia Ukrainian peace deal. US wage increases are slowing. China deflates. Germany’s growth shows green shoots but remains constrained by high energy costs.
Jobs are stagnating, while inflation components create competing narratives. The new bear trend has no momentum, while the bulls have much to prove. Nothing from nothing is nothing.
Cause bearishness is too low to see, yeah.
