WOW those were very coherent sentences. No beer today?
Sadly you are right most people wouldn't know a put from a call and have no money to put in the stock market and those that have a 401K have no idea where to put it cause it's all smoke and mirrors.
Jim Grant is human, not to mention morally and ethically sound. Therefore he is instantly disqualified for holding high office, as wonderful as that might be.
Surprised to see Raoul Pal on your pride of follow list. Maybe you are teasing. 😉 Seems kind of obvious now he's a bad guy. Just another slick Wall Street salesman/huckste/bullshitterr. Oh well nobodies perfect. Cheers.
That's one of the reasons I stayed away from most public people in the biz. I met a handful in my day. Some were nice and once that happens it's very tough to be objective. Pal seems nice. I watched some RV, mostly just promotional stuff. I followed him for awhile on Twitter. He was very weird early in the pandemic. He loved and was promoting all kinds of fear and death stuff there His shilling and creating/using RV as a promotional platform and luring in neophytes under the guise of education is almost secondary to me. Though I'm sure some in the crypto world and much of Wall Street appreciates him for his service.

Perfect, on point...except, tilting at windmills. Impenetrable they are...

Twitter seems to have quietly given me the option to dispute my suspension for saying "Trans is a contagious mental illness." At first Twitter just gave me a demand for my phone number and a demand to delete the offending fact. But later I looked at Twitter again because someone else who was suspended for tweeting the same fact told me that he had gotten unsuspended by appealing. Lo and behold, there was a new "appeal" link when I tried to log in.
I pointed out on the appeal form that I am simply agreeing with the former chief psychiatrist of Johns Hopkins, and was "granted" access to Twitter again. There was another annoying form blocking access, trying to get my phone number, but it was possible to just log out and in again to get around that.
But now I really don't trust Twitter at all, so I don't want to invest much time in it. The damage is nearly irreparable. The only thing they could possibly do to recover public trust is:
1. unsuspend everyone who didn't actually break the law by posting threats of violence or CP
2. make their entire moderations system 110% transparent, so that everything except an actual threat or CP is visible to everyone, and even those should not disappear, but be replaced with an explanation
3. make themselves legally liable in a huge way for any attempt at suspending legal speech ever again
4. make the whole thing open source and testable so that we can prove shadow banning is gone
But they won't do that.
Best to stick with Substack for now. They have been good so far and are attracting great conversations.
I honestly wish I could go back to the days when I thought everything I read from the legacy media, “historians,” et al were true. Maybe I’d be able to watch Housewives of Shittown or The Voice with my wife.
trying to be less frustrated with friends like this who just really haven’t the slightest clue how this all works. or just give up explaining it to them. hell I have years left of research (your stuff helps immensely) to even get to a solid point of understanding.
and have you watched the new frontline doc yet? pretty good and although they press neel a good amount it still paints the fed like they only have these really blunt tools and it’s hard stuff. bullshit. they had a decade plus to get their house in order. anyways I think overall it’s solid and probably a good one to share with aforementioned friends. excited to hear your thoughts on it.
Ackman might not be exposed to bank stocks directly (that’s what he claims) but he sure does benefit from a less aggressive Fed, a convenient “side effect” of fomenting panic leading to bank runs. These guys are always thinking two or three steps ahead to second and third order effects.
One of my clients is a local Credit Union. Asked the CEO this week if they were struggling with redemptions or fear among their depositors and he simply said no. No unusual redemptions and no scared depositors showing up to the branches.
I think you're right, it is Wall Street, not Main Street, who is scared right now.
If you want to be able to read tweets once you’ve been kicked of the Twit, you need to get a separate or new device that you’ve never used before. The device ID will be viewed by Twits algo as a potential new user, giving you access to all public tweets and reply tweets.
That was the only thing that hurt me about getting banned. The lists that I had diligently set up we’re extremely useful, and they were instantly no more. I have no idea why they do that.

I say END THE FED NOW!!

Sorry.
That's part of the joke

Raoul was always nice to me. I never bought into the crypto stuff. He liked my music.

"The list of famous people who blocked me is also awesome..." Wear it with pride.

When the establishment blocks you that means what you're doing is an actual threat. Kudos to you and you're work

Thanks. I can read tweets. I have a burner account. It's setting up lists again that's a pain

I miss the instant interaction.
Twitter missed some funny (and scathing) anti-kleptocracy tweets from me in the past two weeks. Sad.
