MAREKTS ARE AGAIN HIGHLY OVERBOUGHT - REMEMBER SUMMER OF 2015

Everyhting in markets reminds me well of the summer 2015, when it
came to China that ultimatly turned markets down.
Right now markets are again extremely overbought and a correction is overdue.
Low volume is the biggest risk to the markets so far. But there is also a
rotation visible, from FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google) to
value stocks. FAANG stocks kept the SNP alive and in positive territory within
the past two years, while the remaining 495 SNP stocks performed mostly poor.
So now it seems the story is over and investors move on to the next investment
possibilities, value stocks that were left far behind during the past two
years. Furthermore, share buy back programs in FAANG and other tech stocks
could come to an end soon since they surely won't invest it all in buy back
programs. Share buyback programs are expected by J.P.Morgan to be more
than $830 billion in 2018. In the second quarter the amount reached $4,8
billion/day, which would account to more than $1,1 trillion. But this won't
last for ever, since "only" $2,2 trillion USD are hoarded in off-shore
places, to avoid taxes. And ever since Trump cut taxes the great repatriation
has started. But what is dearly missed was a political statement
that only the reinvested money in the economy will benefit from tax cuts and
surely not an Investment in share buy back programs.
