My wife is a nurse. before terminally ill patients enter their final battle, they almost all without fail have a twilight moment, where it’s like they are not sick at all. They are more alive then they have ever been. Up and about dancing jigs, and signing. Then several hours later they crash go into comas or similar catastrophic problems and then die. It’s particularly hard when families and loved who witness it who don’t understand these things witness it. Because they think the cancer or whatever the illness was must have miraculously been healed. Miracles can and do happen. But I am of the opinion this whole thing has just entered that twilight period.

I am deeply sorry for your loss, and that you had to live that roller coaster of emotion.

🤷‍♂️ I pray to the big guy upstairs, and call it like I see it. My poor wife is the one who actually could have wrote this if she knew the ebb and flow of money moving around the way GM teaches us. I’m sharing some of her life experience, cause it’s eerily similar.

I hope something takes out the stonk market permanently. I hate this corrupt country. And I don't want some sparky response from some idiot saying I should move somewhere else. Screw you. CPI is flat at a high rate. Disgusting the market rallies on Fed hopium. I look at the market as my enemy. I hope something takes it down.

Stock Market isn't the problem. It's not a problem to invest in a company that has good fundementals, valuations or even technicals. The problem exists when the Federal Reserve does all the buying and rigs the game, and the game is rigged from the debt market. There has been a Stock Market since the dawn of mankind. It didn't exist on a computer or from debt, and people still profited from it without causing mayhem. Even before the 2008 Financial Crisis, if you wanted to invest in Apple Inc cause it was a great company, you could. This is the way the game was designed, but they had to rig it to gain more power and control.

Imagine a market rallying on unchanged CPI, yet the FED is actually turning the money printers on from the news. The money printers create real inflation, and the market rally’s even more. You don’t have to imagine cause it’s reality.

SPY rally's 40 points in 12 trading days, everyone opening up their 401k Plans again...It's sad seeing sheep line up for the slaughter, but this is what happens when everyone ignores facts. The facts say that the current economic conditions are worse, ten fold, than 2008. This why they call it "the great taking", and why the WEF says "you'll own nothing and be happy". They line you up to take the bait, and then aim for the kill shot.

Market has rallied from the news of unchanged CPI. Better yet, the Ten Year Yield has dropped significantly on the news, and guess who is buying that debt?!

That's right...the Federal Reserve is doing all the buying. While they are buying that debt, they are stealing the purchasing power from the dollar, and in reality it's creating Real Inflation.

From 2018 to 2020, the Federal Reserve was buying all the debt it possibly could until yields went to zero percent. This was the root cause of core inflation rising from 2020 to now. The pandemic, lockdowns, and supply shortages were just a side effect. When that much debt is being bought up in a short period of time it basically cuts the dollar in half. As with everything else in the economy, there is a lag effect...this is why they say "it takes time for bonds to mature".

With yields rising since 2020, the lag effect of the Federal Reserve doing little buying is starting to catch up, and this has helped a little with inflation but it doesn't fix the root problem. The irony of today's market rally is that the market is celebrating while the Central Banks are pumping the system with the root problem, and if this market expects to go any higher than it is right now, you can expect them to pump the system with the "root problem"...even more.

Another thing that this market is taking away from this unchanged CPI report is that it believes it gives even more reason for the Federal Reserve to cut rates. The market believes that Powell was "bluffing" at the last press conference, that Powell was twisting his words and sending an encrypted message to the markets.

The market believed this halfway through 2018, and the Federal Reserve kept rates unchanged for months. The market lost complete confidence in the Federal Reserve, and the rally collapsed into a crash. If Powell leaves rates unchanged for months, the same thing will happen, and this is why trying to decipher "a bluff", instead of looking at the facts, can be extremely dangerous.

Easy money creates core inflation and core inflation creates malinvestments and malinvestments create bubbles.

at the end the fakery goes to the moon and thus the crash will be that much more epic.

Why dont we go back to really look at inflation correctly? I hate when the government or anyone else for that matter lies. As written below my comment, this is the last harah. The economy is going to dance the jig before ultimately collapsing and dying.
