LVMH, Burberry Lead Luxury Stocks’ Gain on Sales Increases

http://noir.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aw1BaNrs6w6E


Luxury sector will be one of the last ones to budge and reverse.


This is not crash proof.


2008 is a great example.


There is a counter argument that I hear - that recessions dont matter to the super rich.


Trust me - they do and a they do a lot!!!!!!




Pls see chart above.


This is the ML Luxury Index.


From about 60 in 2002 it went to 180 in 2007.
So a 300% rise.


Cheap credit can buy a lot of Louis Vuitton's !!!!!!!!!


It then fell from 180 back to 60.


Back to where the bubble began in 2002.


But look at what I said - in my last post - 


BUBBLES GO BACK TO FROM WHERE THEY START.
THEY GO UP AN ESCALATOR AND COME DOWN AN ELEVATOR.
This is a classic example.


But look at what happened from 2009 lows.


It has rallied back from 60 to 197 now.


This is a 328% rise in 2 years.


It took just 2 years now as opposed to 5 years last time.


This is UNBELIEVABLE.


After we have gone thru 2008 - which was one of the most devastating financial events since 1929 - and we see this.


The markets are high on DOPE.


This is not going to end well.


I ask one question - where are the people getting the money to buy these luxury goods - and that too after 2008.


Dont tell me it is all from emerging mkts like China , India etc.


This is a BUBBLE.


It will go back to 60 and now I think even below 60.


It is one of the best SHORT candidates out there.




Summary ----------


LUXURY is set to collapse.


Short this INDEX or its constituents.


We will see an almost vertical crash here - worse than 2008.


It is because this time the bubble took less time to build so it will crash even much faster than you think.
