The world has to be reorganized the Conservatives sucked into Ukraine and Taiwan to help the Globalists hurt Russia and China.

Climate Change the sucker issue for Progressives behind the curtain Global Banking and Business reorganizing the world economy for a “New World Order” to control contain China.

The “Deep State” lies and propaganda running amok even being used for election rigging here in the USA.

“In a way, it’s sad to see so many people ‘fail’ at something that gave them so much hope. But the market is a cruel mistress, and I know of no other way to become a profitable market participant than to experience some epic failures early on in one’s journey. Too many people suddenly woke up to an “everything bull market” in 2020/2021 and thought that stocks and cryptocurrencies only went up. However, the reality is something very different. 2022 has been a year of reality setting in and delivering a great deal of hard lessons in the process.”

In a way this reminds me of the story of the high level investor getting his shoes shined. The shoe shiner mentioned stocks he was invested in. The man left and sold his stocks since he knew they were overvalued as a shoe shiner was investing.

By the time average people get into something, it’s likely near time to run away.

2023 is only going to get worse. Like Pedo Joe says, “Butt Building Butter Back Better! Snort!”

Per climate change, the financial BS term is ESG.

Agreed. I thought I was in Hunker Down Mode during the 0baman Reign of Error. We ain’t seen nothing, yet.

I’m not even reading my IRA statements. I’ll want to put a bullet in my head.

Inflation is THEFT! Taxation is THEFT! Mother Government is one evil beotch!

It would be interesting to show in the chart the year after the years in the lower left quadrant.

The bottom left quadrant shows a massively profitable year for people who were short almost anything. It also shows that there was high conviction and consensus in selling short with little fear of getting blown out of your position.

My sense is that most large positions are determined by quants and AI algorithms that are sensitive to the same variables. The highest weighted is the cost of money, and when the Fed began tightening, the swarm responded to Hal’s projections of an imminent economic collapse. Unfortunately, the Fed (like Hal) is operating using faulty logic (at least according to Jeremy Segal from the Wharton School) based on obsolete lagging indicators of inflation.
Once the short institutions realize that Hal is flakey, they will swarm to unwind their short positions creating a massive mean regression spike.

People with cash, especially new investors should be ready for the opportunity of a lifetime.

Same here and I expect when recesson is finally declared things will only get worse. The further ill effects of green crap and taxes have not factored fully yet. When that happens worse again.

I have sworn not to harvest any meat and rely on dividends and bonds but it will make for slim pickings. Likely we will test minimum spend in coming years. I think i am prepped for another four years of it.

Wild flower seeds are not too much so that will be gardening this season.

They feed your fantasy about such a thing happening but it’s not destruction of those countries the Globalists want with their drama over Ukraine and Taiwan.

They are seeking compliance with the World Order from those nations.

We must all decide whether that World Order is best for us and not be distracted by emotional feelings about China and Russia over the wrongs they may or may not have done.

I see the NWO as being like the Holy Roman Empire: useful at times but mostly a clunky nuisance claiming a higher level of authority than they have. If Russia and China are reduced to vassal states so be it.
