I have a few theories…
1 — no one really gives a shit about Ukraine (it’s all virtue signaling anyway), and has bought the scare.
2 — the large hedge funds, banks, and the usual Pelosi-types already bought the crash after shaking out all the retail investors due to the Russia, Russia, Russia insanity in the media.
3 — covid is now the thing of the past, the Fed has been given the ‘out’ to raise interest rates, so retail are now buying back into the market
BUT … the oddity is both Gold and BTC is up by a very large amount.
Gold +1%
BTC +10%
All this in the backdrop of sanctions and the cutting off of Russia from the DS financial system.
Wen mayo?
the system is made up, because the US Dollar is made up :)
Get out of the market while you still can. They have pumped and propped this market up for years. It is all faked with algorithms and when retail puts enough in, they rug pull after conveniently selling the week before. Pro tip: retail trading doesn’t even affect the prices at all. It’s all dark pools and after hours shenanigans.
Just zoom out and ask yourself based on our actual fucking economy should the S&P 500 have just reached an all time high? Based on what? Tech stock? The same tech companies that fuck us over, spy on us, gaslight us, and censor us?
You have been warned. Oh, and but some GME to hedge and hold it until infinity.
True, I've sat out too many previous times and missed profits I'm not sitting out this one especially when we have multiple plays in progress.
The S&P 500 rate of return is actually the current value of the US Dollar. It is a result of the endless 'money printing' by the Fed; which is then reflected in the S&P500 as the majority of new money is invested in the markets (ala Cantillon Effect).
~30% the value in the S&P is carried by just a handful of companies... you can look at the list.
If you have a 401K, or any retirement account, you are in the market -- unless you self-direct the account and invest in non-equities (real estate, crypto, real metals, ...)
This, lay the SP500 chart over the money printing graph and that is way too much of a coincidence.
Yes, the Fed and their plunge protection team is the one propping things up with continual money printing.
This scheme is stabilizing the market for now, but you can bet your ass all the big players are exiting positions as we speak.
Luckily, my 401k has a guaranteed interest option that isn’t tied to the market at all. If you follow the Q drops, you have to believe the Fed is going down. Biden will have to own the financial collapse. Not sure what’s on the other side, but a blockchain stock market that would prevent naked shorting would be a good start.
The Central Banks is at the epicenter of all the human suffering we see in the world, because they control money issuance... the Fed should not exist, but due to an utterly corrupt Congress they made it happen. Then Taxation happened.
The money we earn, get's taxed.
Fed prints more money, which reduces the purchasing power of our earned money,
So we must earn more, which means we get taxed more.
It's Modern day slavery.
I don't think our financial system will collapse, as that would spell utter devastation in the country... Q did say we are safe. I think there will be some form of transition to would need to happen, and that transition could be painful to many but not life-ending.
I'd love for some kind of Blockchain based stock market, but it would need to be on a neutral layer-1 Blockchain, imo Bitcoin. Everything else is centralized and easily controlled. But I doubt those in power will give their money cash cow up easily.
DWAC is cranking up
I smell a crypto bear trap. Get Russians and others to FOMO into it then dive the price. They've been doing this over and over
A little more nuanced currently. They have yanked certain Russian banks from the SWIFT system, BUT, they are still allowed to use SWIFT for their current commodity exports... which is the bulk of their trade.
So really, this SWIFT action is a complete nothing-burger. It's a theatrical play by the EU and US to impose tough words onto Russia.
On the other hand, Russia does have their own messaging system (vs SWIFT) which they would use for trade with China, and now there is talk with India to settle transactions with Rupees.
Russia (and their trade allies) are looking to move away from the Petro-Dollar... this is why the DS is super scared.
Russia also sold off nearly all of their US securities over the past 10 years and has been stockpiling gold. They've been preparing for this.
I have a little of Stellar, Algo, Tezos and ATOM as side-bets in a cold wallet. I had ditched Cardano last year as they were too busy going around doing woke shit in Africa rather than improving the tech and delivering on promises.
Russia in all in on Bitcoin, the only non-controlled crypto worldwide. All the other Alts are either centralized 'securities' that can be controlled or are not at scale (adoption, network, nodes, mining, ...).
Ripple is not XRP, many in the crypto-sphere think they are one in the same, they are very, very different and have nothing to do with each other.
Russia has been stacking Gold like mad, Putin knew what was up... he may be positioning his country to trade using Bitcoin as a settlement layer.
Bull trap.
The NATO counter-invasion of Russia is fast approaching.
Almost time to see how well mRNA works.
Hmm...
Are they gonna let the beans spill about the vaxx to kill the manket?
Pretty sure it’s to amplify the effect of psychotronically issuing orders.
Hell, at this point I’m willing to bet on the transformation of these mRNA soldiers into direct avatars for demons in hell to control here on Earth. Nothing is too far fetched anymore.
Either way, I’m betting Russia is going to be fistfucked hard.
Coupla hundred million more carwash tokens (Tether) printed in the last few weeks....nothing to see there though...
