I've been told that Federal Reserve Chairpersons, when elected, are instructed to never smile in public. However, when two or more gather they can't help knowing what the other is thinking and fortunately for us, smiling is the natural response of two people sharing a secret together...

Love it Rudy. You’ve inspired me to re read my favourite book of all time, When Money Dies by Adam Ferguson….Germany in the 1920s and the nightmare of deficit spending, devaluation, and hyper inflation. Also, great link to the article on the eerie parallels of the last 4 real estate market crashes. I live in the Bay Area and people won’t hear of a real estate crash. Time will tell but I think they’re all wrong as we have all the conditions the article describes - huge run up in prices, rapid run up in interest rates and massive concentration of people working in a single industry. The counter I always hear is that there’s limited supply. True, but if demand collapses rapidly, supply is no longer a problem.

8% inflation, using an index they created, control and manipulate at will to measure and target rates...do they think we are that stupid, really. Well, yes, yes they do.

Or that distracted, divided and pacified, except during the tribal manipulations "they" provide daily and obviously, laugh about. Many realize the endless lies. None are organized to create an effective and productive replacement strategy. The most ignored people are those who seek to do so. Their focus on boring thing like root causes and process, can't provide the tribal dopamine jolts to the ignorant, which our falling empire of dealers and addicts feeds on.

Guy Adami and Danny Moses are excellent on that pod of theirs each week. They’ve really nailed mkt moves for over a year now. Dan ‘I’ve traded for 25 years’ Nathan has been a great fade as well on almost everything sports, politics, trading. Prob a nice guy but his head is so far up his own ass at this point.

For most Americans now, war is like a video game. Seems to cost nothing. You don't seem much of it on TV. Always far off and out of mind.
