Summary: Eventhough many agricultural commodities have gone up on average only around 3% (sugar, soybeans, cacoa, milk, ...) since 1972, many others have gone up more than 5% per year, bringing the average at 5% real inflation per year, meaning the USD lost 5% per year in purchasing power per year.

Updated returns, stocks (16%) as well as gold (11%) did well this year, unlike last year where stocks did poorly (-18%) and gold just ok (0%). The surprise is again cash that is again returning 5% this year, which is zero after deducting 5% inflation. Last 10y, deducting also 5% for inflation, stocks still returned 7%, whereas gold only 1%.
The trend is still very clear if you look at the long term chart since 1928. A reversal in returns is unlikely given how short and weak this stock market cycle has been. Stocks can return a lot more and typically do if you look at previous cycles, and the inverse is true for gold. Gold held up well still but it can get a lot worse.

Trololo is back with an update on where we are in the bull/bear cycle. As expected prices have remained below the trendline continuing to pull it down, causing trendline & fair value to still be at $380B half a year later. Current $230B means it's undervalued by 40%, not too shabby and definitely should have piece of your desired crypto exposure locked in at these valuations.
However, still high chance to go back to $150B Crypto Marketcap as undervaluation of not 40% but 60% to trendline for next 1.5y is likely. But would not dare to sell your quality coins to try to buy back cheaper as chance high in this second stage of early bull market some of them will pump hard vs Bitcoin Core and vs fiat never to see current valuations again, despite overall CMC to go down.
That does not count for many lower quality projets and especially Bitcoin Core which is highly overvalued from any angle you look at it, within crypto world it's market share likely still peaked half a year ago at 70%, but even vs fiat it's $160B valuation is unlikely to go into the trillions people hope for as it continues to be build out as a traditional bank with high costs, slow response, building services that add counterparty risk instead of reducing it (LN, Liquid), and therefore will likely lose the race for global adoption to it's competitors like Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and likely several others. Also go into the difference between these two, Tezos & Chainlink.

Still planning to go to 80% exposure if we would make new bottom of $1700 but don't think likely anymore since we would need biggest correction ever of 87% for BTC counting from high of $13700.
Do think $3300 still likely and $4500 still very likely to hit thou and will be very important to buy then. Do think top for Bitcoin BTC dominance at 63% is likely in and, bull or bear, it's down from here.

Dash and ZEC are valued very low compared to their Realized Cap, both are underwater about 70% today, compared to average amount invested (MVRV = 0.3). Both have a valuable business model paying dev's and marketing with piece of inflation, but Dash revealed low ethics of it's founder Evan Dufield by doing instamine at launch and being dishonest about it up until today.
While most coins went up from their low in Dec 2018 or worst case sideways, ZEC went down, likely because of controversial but necessary decision to transform business model from temporary to an indefinite and sustainable one. The only negative I see with ZEC is the philosphy of it's founder Zooko to not want to see Zcash being adopted in black market, which is an advantage for Monero, but unlike Monero, Zcash has a positive culture not spreading FUD about competitors and even better privacy tech as Monero.
Since ZEC is a coin I may actually use in future, planning to pick some up if we correct to $160B Total Market Cap/ $6k $BTC.

#Tesla was on it's way to go into serious overvaluation towards $1500 but the Kung Flu Panic put a stop on that and made it correct from $950 to low of $350, now back at $500. Compared to historical valuations and growth rate, current $100B market cap is also where the trendline is and therefore we can say it is fairly valued again.
However, once stock market pics up again, since momentum was so strong and fundamentals remain intact and have even improved due to crises as likely some legacy automakers have been taken out now, very likely Tesla will be one of the first to continue to go up strong, this time into serious overvaluation, which historically points to $270B / $1500 if it were to happen by Sep 2020.
Price To Sales/Revenues ratio also points to this valuation as peak valuation previous bubble 2013 was 24x when $TSLA shot from $30 to $150 but since market cap 10x higher now, likely lower volatility expected so 24x unlikely, 18x possible, 12x probable, would also be $1500 currently.
There is potential for even higher prices thou as revenues have actually gone up more than historical valuation of the company, so possible to overshoot green upper band to $350B MC / $2200 per share, which would be 18x Price To Sales Ratio, before going sideways again for many years.
As the saying goes, better to buy a great company for a fair price than a fair company for a great price. Also show at end how coronavirus is growing slower globally now than at start in China and likely to stop growing exponentially globally as quick as it stopped also growing exponentially in the East once measures were taken, within 2 weeks from here ...
