The Big Tech Winter, Greedy on Energy Stocks at the Bottom, Real Highs of Platinum, Historical Lows of Crude

7 reasons why the crisis may be much longer and why the Big Tech is ill on the stock exchange. Do you think crude oil is cheap? Think again. Is Big Oil a heaven for contrarian investors, or a sucker’s bet? Few assets are as cheap historically as platinum.

Big Tech is falling these days, pushing main US indices lower. Many people think the vaccine will solve problems and life returns to the normal, but this isn’t so sure.
Many things which happen now happened before. Precious metals were moving in a strong bull market this year, gold reached new all-time highs, silver also jumped. But platinum lags far behind. Is it a buy opportunity?
If we adjust the prices with inflation, we see a very different picture by platinum, but also by crude oil. Earlier tops are much higher at actual price levels, also bottoms have a new meaning. Is crude cheap today? Are oil companies a buy after a big fall?

• The recovery from the crisis may be much longer, and W or WW-shaped.
• A vaccine can prove much less helpful than people expect.
• But more and more QE and inflationary risks may support the stock market.

Inflation and Crude Oil Price – Will The Fall Never End?

• Platinum price used to be twice the price of gold, but today it is only less than half of it.
• The real, inflation-adjusted top of platinum price was much higher than the official $2308.8.
