Back in October, JPMorgan Chase analysts Eduardo Lecubarri and Nishchay Dayal warned that the $7.4 trillion of global assets parked in passive funds could "exacerbate a rout" during the "next recession."
Well, they were half right: We're not in a recession.
But the escalating sell-off – especially in the highflying, index-leading big-cap stocks – is weighing heavily on passive investors.
"Weighing heavily," as in, passive investors are losing lots of money just about every day.
Active investors and traders, like us, have options. We can hedge, we can get short, trade puts, even go to cash – there are moves we can make.
Passive investors? Well, they could become active in a major way just about any day now. The panic would be legendary.
If that happens – and we are getting close to market levels that could turn passive investors into very active panic-sellers – a crash may not be far off.

The question is, what is it going to look like?
Realistically, it will be nowhere near the original vision laid out for Bitcoin, much to the chagrin of crypto-enthusiasts and real-money libertarians everywhere.
As I'm going to show you, the path being taken is a tale of national, international, and even supranational intrigue that you might never have imagined.
It's filled with so many contradictions, it's become laughable.
Yet the central planners behind it all have so much to gain, it's a near certainty that soon we'll all be using the same virtual global cryptocurrency – like it or not.
And if you think your freedom and privacy are threatened now... well you ain't seen nothin' yet...
