Am still long, BUT: DAX smells like crash, especially MDAX. Nikkei looks critical for me. Decade-Cycle signals danger.

Man, looking at the charts for /NQ, /YM, /ES and /RTY it looks like a nice correction is pending.

I don't care which direction price goes. I would LOVE for the NASDAQ to tank. As a matter of fact I'd better go cash out a couple of options so I can buy a QQQ Put just in case.

Do you have any short positions on now?

In Texas Governor Abbott is opening up all businesses and forgoing mask wearing

etc even as vaccines won't be fully provided until May or June and that's with Moderna

and Johnson & Johnson working in concert to make the needed number of vaccines. Many cheer

the Texas Governor's move "but" you have to ask why is the Texas Governor doing this

at this particular time knowing that vaccines will not be available as outlined above until

May or June and nurses and doctors in the hospitals after surviving the initial Texas onslaught

of dead and dying Texas Covid Patients in temporary freezer truck morgues next to hospitals

and placed in rooms until the body could be transferred see another wave of covid coming

in Texas which means the hospitals and healthcare folks on the front line will end up once

again burned out and unable to cope with the numbers as this thing plays out. As for Governor

Abbott and Senator Cruz, they had their entire Texas Electric Grid frozen including the natural

gas, the coal, the oil and the other 6% of the grid of wind mills because they "chose" through

their own State Electric Grid Council "not" to put needed dollars into having anti-freeze

remediation in place "before" this last merry go round as the "owners" of the Texas Electric

Grid didn't want to pay for those remediation costs leaving Texas Citizens frozen and without

water even in a time of great stress. The upshot of this horrible Texas Policy or lack thereof

was the Texas Citizens suffered horribly and un necessarily during the freeze due to in effect

greed over common sense remedial policies and "costs" (*Remember Enron Folks). Now, Texas Governor Abbott "must" open up the Texas business community and workers "so they can pay" those $10,000-$16,000 electric bills to the "owners" of the Texas Electric Grid. How would they be able to continue to pay those bills without working feverishly to pay those balances off?

In terms of continuing fakery on Capitol Hill this week, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified

to the Congress as to the January 6th, 2021 insurrection attempt on the Capitol Building which

thankfully failed to disrupt the Constitutional Process of Confirming the Presidential Election

Results. In attempts to muddy the waters in that hearing, Republicans like Senator Grassley

offered up the "Antifa Schtick of Antifa in Trump Costumes" which FBI Director Wray consistently said "no" that was not the case based on information already gathered and indeed domestic

terrorism and domestic terrorists has been the problem and I think if you look back about

4-5 months ago FBI Director Wray documented that in another hearing as FBI Director for

Donald J. Trump on or around October 25-26, 2020 explaining that white supremacists groups

were the biggest dangers to the United States domestically as well as Donald J. Trump's

own acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf also reiterated in a Congressional

Hearing on or around September 24th, 2020. At this same hearing, you had a DHS whistleblower

Brian Murphy who stated for the record Wolf had requested the threat level for white supremacy

groups be lowered even as he said they were the most dangerous threat domestically in the

Hearing?????? Now, you have the lead up of the gathering of Trump Supporters in Washington,

DC as well as Donald Trump and Guiliani and others telling their crowds to march up to Capitol

and to "fight like hell" but then say they didn't tell their supporters to attack and invade the

Capitol Building through violence toward the Capitol Police and additionally stalled the nearest

National Guard for several hours after the insurrection took place as well as telling them to

not have heavy riot gear, etc. So, who would have the power to advise the nearest National

Guard Units to come to the Capitol Building post haste? The President which at that time was

Donald Trump and his Defense Department "acting" heads. (*Notice there were a lot of "acting"

directors during the Trump Administration? Was this normal in other Administrations previous

to the Trump Administration? Answer, no it wasn't normal at all because normal President's

don't want yes men in powerful positions of authority but common sense and Constitutional

Loyalists in place throughout their Administrations.

As far as the question of Central Banks and their monetary policies of bond buying, etc.,

maybe just maybe they have international long standing intelligence which Putin, X-Ping

and other world leaders have which the average people like you and me do "not" have

and so are doing necessary easing regardless of Covid or lost jobs so unemployed. Just

maybe, they are instead trying to provide a "comfort zone" for people because most folks

don't want to know that intelligence and so real time reality. Just maybe if you noticed, the Central banks are pushing funding so that actual societies don't crash and burn but rather survive

through this whole time period. I think it's easy to be a Crusader in all this to rail against

this or that but what the heck does the average person actually know in terms of total

intelligence information? 2-3 Percent at tops! And those are the supposed "wisest" in

our bunch of bananas. My question to all the stalwarts fighting the Central Banks, in the

Great Depression what did FDR do in terms of policy and decision making but try to provide

easing attempts, safety nets, etc., etc., jobs when there were none or scarce "until" the depression

eased and more opportunity found more Americans of all income levels.

Violence and threats of violence are typically used by people, who have decided they "don't

like the reality" of their Candidate losing the Election and so they marched on the Capitol

Building to effectively "erase" the Congress's duty to uphold the Election Results through

the certification process as required by the US Constitution. They still cannot accept the

facts that Donald J. Trump lost the election and so now listen to the infamous Q Anon even

though each and every Q Anon prediction did not turn out true that Trump would be President

again March 4th,2021. This then exacerbated further security around the The Capitol per

intelligence of another gathering storm of threats of violence and violence which now the

Republicans say is tyranny???? I'm sure if any BLM types or Antifa types stormed the Capitol

on January 6th, 2021 as the Trump insurrection crowd did, they would have been tear gassed

several hundreds of yards outside the perimeters of the Capitol, then they would have

experienced rubber bullets if they got closer and then real bullets by they came to the street just in front of the Capitol Building. Not one of them would have gotten to the stairs or the windows

or through any bashed in windows or doors as their blood would have been spilled like

and ocean before any trespass of the Capitol Building.
