A tree crashes down onto the pavement just inches from where you stand. That's how it feels to be invested in the stock market when major upheaval happens. This is a story of a firm that thrives when trees topple over, metaphorically speaking, of course. A $20 billion financial giant, Universa Investments, based in sunny Miami, doesn't lose sleep over potential stock-market upheavals. Their claim to fame? They made big bucks in 2008 during the global financial crisis and also in the 2020 crash triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. Their mastermind, Mark Spitznagel, is seasoned in the art of predicting calamities. He recently warned about a financial system "mega-tinderbox timebomb," an alarming phrase he had previously used in January. While it sounds scary, it doesn't mean he thinks stocks will crash immediately. In fact, he sees potential for a strong market rally in the near future. Universa is part of a small but increasing group of hedge funds that place bets on "black swans." This term was made popular by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Universa's advisor, in his 2007 bestseller, “The Black Swan.” These catastrophic events that no one sees coming, like the falling tree, are their gold mines.  Universa's strategy was unique at the time of its inception. Its plan consisted of regularly wagering on major market collapses. Like buying an umbrella before a downpour, investors who put a small amount of their cash in the fund were shielded when the black swan descended. The crux of their strategy, for both Taleb and Spitznagel, was born in the 1980s. For Taleb, it was an experience on Black Monday, when the market was in chaos, and nobody knew why. He was focused on his position in Eurodollar options that would, theoretically, benefit from high volatility. When the markets calmed down, Taleb found that his portfolio had weathered the storm. The lessons learned were critical to his future endeavors. Fast-forward to 2020, and Spitznagel's team at Universa were doing the same. When the pandemic hit, they were prepared for the worst. As chaos spread across world markets, they stayed calm. While the world was panicking, their investments went vertical, soaring to unimaginable heights. The world seems to be experiencing more of these tree-toppling events. Pandemics, market crashes, terrorist attacks, and other catastrophic events seem to be on the rise. But, these destructive events are becoming more predictable. They are not black swans appearing out of the blue but rather, according to Taleb, gray swans – devastating events that are foreseeable. French physicist Didier Sornette is critical of Taleb's black swan concept. He believes it provides a convenient excuse for people's mistakes, implying that major disasters are entirely unpredictable. Sornette has a different term for these foreseeable catastrophes: dragon kings.  As globalization expands, our world becomes more complex and unpredictable, and Taleb argues, fragile. He suggests that this increasing instability is the paradoxical result of humanity's attempts to control it through technology and quantitative models. Despite the potential catastrophes, Universa's strategy, like the phoenix, thrives in chaos. It was born from chaos and is only strengthened by it. It's a strategy that fits perfectly into our increasingly unpredictable world. In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Universa traders quietly made a fortune. They turned the chaos into opportunity and saw their investments skyrocket, achieving a three-month gain of over 4,000% by the end of March 2020. While others were losing their investments, Universa was reaping the benefits of their strategy. It's not that they're opportunistic or take joy in global chaos; rather, they've developed a unique approach that allows them to weather the storm and come out even stronger. Their way of investing, often called "tail-risk hedging," puts Universa in a peculiar position. They may not profit as much during good times, but when catastrophe strikes, they are often the biggest beneficiaries. This method makes them seem almost contrarian, going against the popular trend of optimism in the market. Universa Investments is an interesting case study of a financial firm that thrives in chaos. Its unique investment strategy, born out of the teachings of Taleb and the experiences of Spitznagel, has allowed it to turn global upheavals into financial windfalls. As the world becomes more unpredictable and volatile, the strategy of Universa seems increasingly relevant. Despite the criticism and doubts, their approach demonstrates the potential to make significant gains amidst crisis, embodying the saying, "In chaos, there is opportunity." As we face an uncertain future, it is, perhaps, worth considering whether we're prepared for the black swans, or even the dragon kings, that might lurk around the corner.  Keep on keeping up!  John @ Traders on Trend  (In the next article: Jobs data is set to be released later today.

Thursday turned the spotlight on the private hiring data released by ADP. It was stronger than most Wall Street gurus had predicted, causing short-term Treasury yields to take a brief joyride upwards. But alas, the jubilation was short-lived. The following weekly jobless claims and a sluggish pace of labor cost gains in Q1 promptly brought the yields back down. The plot thickens. In a further twist, Treasuries started to rally after the ISM manufacturing data showed a drop in prices paid and new orders, as surprising as a plot twist in an M. Night Shyamalan movie. The jobs data, when it lands, will likely serve as the pivot. If it disappoints, you can bet your bottom dollar that it will solidify expectations of a pause from the Fed and give bonds an extra pep in their step. If it impresses, it'll kick-start another round of intense watercooler debates on the Fed's next move. The strategists at TD Securities, including the keen Oscar Munoz, seem to be putting their chips on an optimistic payroll outcome. They suggest the odds for a June pause could flip on their head if the economic data remains robust. It seems like the stakes are high - just like a high-stakes poker game, where markets may react more to a bluff (a miss) than to a royal flush (an upside surprise).  (article continues below) Sponsored [This Could Become Your Favorite Stock In A Recession]( Financial experts are split on the recession.

[Privacy Policy/Disclosures]( SPONSORED  🔼 Pay attention, this is worth your time! ☝  (article continues)  According to swaps, there's a one in three chance of a quarter-point Fed hike in June. However, a pause seems to have better odds. It's like betting on a tortoise in a race against a hare - doesn't seem likely, but we all know how that story ends.  If we move the betting timeline to July, the odds of a hike jump to four in five, with a one in five chance that the tightening period may have run its course. These odds saw some shuffling on Wednesday, following hints from Fed officials that a pause might be in the cards. Fed Governor Philip Jefferson and Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker were both dropping hints as casually as spoilers for the next Game of Thrones book. Jefferson hinted at keeping rates steady, while Harker mentioned skipping an increase in June. Alan Ruskin of Deutsche Bank suggests that it would take a Herculean effort (read: extraordinarily strong payrolls) to sway the Fed away from this 'pause' stance in June. Apart from the May jobs report, market expectations for the Fed's next steps are likely to be guided by the inflation data due June 13. This is also when the Fed's two-day meeting commences, turning it into a highly anticipated date. The market might anticipate a pause in June, followed by a small hike in July until these reports are released. John Brady from RJ O'Brien echoes this sentiment, pointing out that the concept of predicting a June skip before critical economic data like the NFP and CPI is available, seems as odd as a sunflower growing in Antarctica. If the Fed is indeed driven by 'risk management, data-dependency,' July appears to be a safer bet to skip. Time will tell who wins this game of financial chess.  Disclaimer:  The material in this document is for informational purposes based on our proprietary research.
