Your number 7 reason re: copper - on a related note as I mentioned earlier the dollar had a strong day especially against the commodity currencies:

AUDUSD -0.84%
NZDUSD -0.81%

and then inversely

USDCAD +0.67%

So as you know a higher dollar raises the cost of other countries purchases of raw materials such as copper.

S&P500 yield LT schrts.co

1.7-2.2% LT range. Excursions outside that range are temporary.
1.34% = yield today
1.11% = min, 8/2000
14% = max, 6/1932

3410 = SPX yielding 1.7%
2635 = SPX yielding 2.2%

Similar calculations can be made, using PE (with ttm, trailing 10y, or forward earnings), P/S.

Conclusion: today’s valuations are sustainable, only as long as QE, trillion-$ deficits, and extremely low LT interest rates continue. When they end, stocks will at best go sideways till earnings increase enough to lower valuations. I am guessing this return to normal valuations won’t happen in 2021. 2022 at the earliest, and more likely 2023. Could even be later. I will stay alert for warning signs, and get steadily more defensive as I see them. In the meantime, I will sell the rallies, buy the dips, and collect dividends.

Selling VALE was a good move.

It seems to me that VALE's loss should be MT's gain.

BTW, I will not be surprised if copper hits 3.5 and before we hear about Fed tightening, you are going to hear some people talking about maybe the Fed should be buying more assets and stimulate some more ;)

I think Yardeni may be proven right and we'll hit nirvana next year.
