Chinese citizens are once again allowed to travel internationally and the global tourism industry is ready to welcome them with open arms. Why? Chinese tourism has meant big money in the past. In 2019, Chinese travelers spent a fifth of all tourist dollars. But a full rebound in Chinese tourism might be a ways off.

Since the start of the new year, the overall market trend has greatly improved, and the past few days have been no exception. The market has seen a significant and sudden increase in price action, with stocks no longer declining as they were in 2022. While stocks played a stubborn game in 2022, this year, they refuse to go lower. Best of all? Technology and growth are driving the ongoing stock market boom in 2023.So why the sudden shift? Well, it seems that the consensus view in the market has finally aligned with the one we've had since November. Inflation is crashing hard, the Fed's rate hikes are nearly over, and the economy will likely avoid a deep recession. With this as the consensus, more investors are rushing to buy the dip in risk assets.And if you want to gauge the market's risk-on appetite, just take a look at the crypto markets. Bitcoin (BTC-USD) started the year at $16,500 and popped to $21,500 over the weekend – up a whopping 40% year-to-date. Several major altcoins have doubled in that same time. This is the type of price action you only see when new bull markets begin.We are highly constructive on what we've seen so far. This is likely Year 1 of a multiyear bull market. Get ready for those gains.So, the current price action in the market strongly suggests that we're seeing the arrival of a new bull market. And last week, this price action triggered a bullish indicator known as the Breakaway Momentum indicator.This indicator measures the ratio of the total number of stocks that were advancing over the past 10 days to the total number of stocks that were declining in that time. When that ratio is roughly above 2, meaning the number of advancing stocks is double the number of declining stocks, the Breakaway Momentum indicator is triggered.This has only happened a handful of times over the past 70 years, but every time it has, stocks were higher six and 12 months later. And similarly, nearly every time this breadth thrust indicator is triggered, it's been when a bear market is ending and a new bull market is beginning.In short, current price action indicates that a new bull market is forming right now. As always, remember that price is truth. So, keep an eye out for any new developments in the market. For us, one emerging development we're bullish on is quantitative finance. Hypergrowth Investing is no stranger to AI. We've talked about its impact on several industries in previous episodes, even when it comes to the future of stock picking. We're confident that eventually, AI and other quantitative approaches will dominate most money management and financial market strategies. Investors with fantastic track records and decades of experience picking stocks are few and far between. And access to these folks is very limited. But in the future, we will have access to AI tools and quantitative systems that allow us to be the best investors we can be – by removing emotion from decision-making and following the data.The stock market is a veritable treasure trove of data. And with the advent of machine-learning algorithms, it's becoming a powerful tool for investors. In the next few years, it's expected that most investors will turn to quantitative trading systems, powered by AI, to gain an edge in the market. Those who embrace this technology will have a significant advantage over those who don't, and will be able to make more informed and profitable trades.That's why our team has spent the past year developing a quantitative trading system to inform our investment strategies. We are using this quant tool to scan the market for the most high-quality breakout stocks. And by implementing machine-learning algorithms, we aim to create a robust system that helps us to greatly outperform the market.Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3kpWXUTWatch the full episode of Hypergrowth Investing above.

Fundrise CEO Ben Miller is joined by Schecky Schechner, Managing Director and Co-Head of US Real Estate Banking at Barclays Capital, for a wide-ranging and technically insightful conversation in this latest episode of Onward. As Ben points out, Schecky is credited as one of the co-inventors of Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) in the wake of the S&L crisis in the late ‘80s, a securitization innovation that has since become a trillion-dollar system, earning Schecky his reputation as a living legend in the real estate world. Ben and Schecky's conversation opens with a broad discussion on the current state of the market before moving into a recap of our “Great Deleveraging” thesis. They then go on to discuss a wealth of additional topics and key financial ideas, including how securitization is a democratizing force in financial markets; why the late 1980's were “the Big Bang” for real estate finance; why the idioms “A rolling loan gathers no loss,” and “Extend and pretend,” might have a major impact on the American economy over the next twelve months; and much more.

Did the man who discovered the most successful recession indicator abandon it?Click here to get the PDF with all charts and graphsIn a recent LinkedIn post, Campbell Harvey outlined why his yield curve inversion theory, which has a perfect record of predicting recessions, may no longer work. He concludes that we may not get a recession in 2023.He argues that the labor market is strong compared to the past two recessions. Unfilled jobs are still high, and skilled workers losing their jobs have shorter periods before getting a new job.The current situation is not like the 2008 or 2020 crisesThis is unlike the 2008 global financial crisis and the 2020 pandemic recession, where workers had no job opportunities to pursue. Harvey argues that consumers have less indebtedness and are better prepared to withstand the rise in interest rates.The financial sector is strong compared to the 2008 period, reducing the risk of a financial sector crisis that would exacerbate an economic crisis.Focus on the real yield curveHarvey also suggested that we should put more weight on the real yield curve (after adjusting for inflation), which shows no inversion, despite the inversion of the nominal yield curve.The inverted yield curve has become a victim of its own successFinally, he proposes that his predictor may have become a victim of its own success. Harvey argues that the reactions of economic agents could lead to lower growth, and if the economy survives the period, a soft landing is possible.Maybe the widespread knowledge of the success of the yield curve has caused people to adjust ahead of time which will lessen the impact of the recession.Arguments for why Harvey's inverted yield curve signal is working just fineBut not everyone is buying his reasons for abandoning his measure. Below is a list of some of the arguments made in the comment section about why Harvey's inverted yield curve signal is working just fine.The labor force participation rate in the United States has been falling, it averaged 63% from 1948 to 2022, reaching an all-time high of 67% in 2000Consumer debt is at all-time highs; most relevantly, consumer debt service payments as a percent of disposable personal income are the highest in over 13 years and still risingThe consumer is weak as wages are not keeping up with the fast rise in consumer prices, driven by high energy and commodities pricesConsumers need to borrow or tap into their savings as disposable income gets eaten upConsumer savings rates are lowThe Fed will not reduce its rate rise course soon as unemployment is still lowWill 2022 be the first time since 1968 that the inverted yield curve gives a false signal of recession?Click here to get the PDF with all charts and graphs

The closed landfill in Laytonville has long loomed large as a source of grief in the community. Some residents of the unincorporated area and the neighboring Cahto Rancheria are sure that contaminants are causing damage to the environment and their health. The bottom of the landfill is unlined, which means water can percolate into the historic waste and then back out again into the soil and groundwater. The local water district tests some of the nearby wells and finds that the water is free of the most concerning contaminants. But in the last decade, increased levels of multiple different kinds of salts and minerals that are frequently associated with landfill waste have been found in a well on the southeast corner of the county's monitoring network, which includes ten wells. And an environmental consultant working for the tribe says two of the three wells he's working with show troubling indicators. He's planning to install a half dozen more wells this year. The state has also called for more monitoring wells, as the county prepares for maintenance on the landfill cap, drainage system, and roads on the seven-acre site. After government-to-government consultations between the tribe and the California Environmental Protection Agency, the county and the tribe have signed an MOU to work together on the project. Chris Watt, of the North Coast Regional Water Quality Board, shared some context about what's currently known about the elements in the county's well, and why more monitoring is needed. “This well at the southeast corner of the landfill has been monitored for multiple decades,” he said in a recent interview. “Beginning about ten or more years ago, that well, as we looked at the statistics, began to record an increasing trend in what we call indicator parameters. Indicator parameters are minerals and salts that are present in the groundwater. And we are seeing increasing values of those over time. Landfill waste can generate those salts and minerals, so our assumption is that those are originating from the landfill, and show that there is movement of groundwater from the landfill through that well. All of these are found naturally in the groundwater, so they're not what we would call synthetic contaminants. They can be associated with the landfill waste, and they can originate from either those minerals and salts dissolving into the groundwater as water moves through the waste, or they can be dissolved through the rocks as the landfill waste changes the chemistry of its environment. So these aren't what we would traditionally call pollutants, per se. They're indicators that there is movement of groundwater from the landfill in the direction of that well. Some of these have exceeded what we would call secondary drinking water standards. So we are tracking this, and asking the county to expand their monitoring network to determine how far and where this movement of salts and minerals has gone.” Watt says it's significant that the southeast corner is most affected by the landfill. “Traditionally, the model for how water has moved in this area of the landfill has been, it's moved in a northerly direction,” he noted. “However, this trend in indicator parameters, these salts and minerals that we're finding to the southeast, suggest that there is a component of flow to the southeast. This is going to require an update in our conceptual model of the landfill and in the monitoring program for the landfill, which the county is working on as they prepare their engineering documents to do a fix on the landfill cap…at a minimum, it's going to be an expansion of the monitoring well network to the southeast. The county's land that they control ends near this well, so they're working with their neighbors, the Cahto Tribe, to obtain access and design a monitoring program that's going to have to be located on the Rancheria property.” The exact number and location of the new wells hasn't been worked out yet. The county will hire a contractor, who will meet with the Cahto Tribal Council and the Laytonville Municipal Advisory Council, and then present a proposal to the Water Board for its review, before installing more wells. Nothing will happen in a hurry. Massive cleanup is one of many possible outcomes, but Watt thinks it's too early to predict what will come of the increased monitoring. “So there's a monitoring program that the county implements, that's a series of wells,” he summarized. “Some of them are for water, some of them are what we call a gas well, so they do gas samples. Landfills can generate gasses, and so they monitor that as well. The monitoring network, I think we've established, needs to be changed. The county has been monitoring these wells for decades. There are thousands of data points which we are using in our conceptual model of evaluation…This last ten years of data has said we need to change this. Things with landfills don't move quickly, in terms of actions. They're expensive, they're complicated, they're technically difficult, they require specialists. So some of this just takes time. But I think we're going in the right direction now.” There will be several opportunities for public engagement in the next two years, which is how long Watt and the CalEPA expect it to take to update the monitoring system. In addition to the public meetings with the county's consultant, the county will prepare an environmental document for the landfill repair, which will include a public comment period. The Water Board will hold a public hearing prior to issuing an updated permit for the landfill. “And that will guide us into the future for this landfill, wherever it goes,” Watt concluded.

In the latest episode of Onward, Fundrise CEO Ben Miller gives us the opportunity to listen in on a conversation with one of the most experienced and influential figures in real estate today: Steve Ross, the largest real estate developer in the world.

In anticipation of the upcoming publication of Fundrise's 2022 year-end letter to investors, CEO Ben Miller is once again joined by Kendall Davis, Head of Investor Relations and Investor Operations, for an in-depth analysis and conversation about the Fundrise portfolio's 2022 performance.  This episode is indispensable to any listener interested in better contextualization of and perspective on our portfolio and its outlook, whether that's understanding how we so handily outperformed public market analogues; how we adjusted our strategy and fortified our portfolio over the past several years in anticipation of the sweeping 2022 market downturn; and why, looking ahead, we're in a position of enviable investing strength, as we've prepared to take advantage of this next stage of the market cycle. Some of the topics Kendall brings to the conversation for Ben's consideration include: Why Fundrise NAVs are down, particularly in the Flagship fund. Why defensive positioning, involving low debt and high liquidity, is so important today, and why we're set up for potentially once-in-a-cycle investment opportunities in the months and years ahead. What signals like an inverted yield curve tells us about what to expect and where we are in the market cycle. What an optimistic Ben Miller – whose staunch market realism sometimes sounds like pessimism –  looks and sounds like. (Listen until the end of the episode to find out.)
