Great post and insight,
spot on with my read too!
I just searched last night trying to see if we had an expected release date for IG report... all i could find was March.
I have been using 3 phase chess game analogy, sort of your middle 2 phases combined... if phase 2 provoked this massive internet censorship bit, phase 3 could get really ugly!
All I could find about a release date of the IG report was one that suggested it might occur in March also. I am pretty sure that it is entirely at Horowitz’s discretion as to when he releases it to the public.
When push comes to shove in crunch time it is my hope that it’s lights out to the black hats before they even have a chance to effectively respond. If not, then we just have to ride it out.
