We're in a bubble, have been in it for years ( I couldn't believe that Biden & Jinping could postpone the pop/collapse, then found out about Blackrock's magnitude, & some other things.. unbelieveable ).
It'll pop. soon.
I expect that within 24h of Trump's ripping the civilrights rug out from under the US, there'll be NO stockmarket for household/"retail".
Buffett'll still be able to do things, Michael Burry was early, but not wrong, etc.
ClimatePunctuation's still accelerating ( the global-warming SPEED curve looks like a bell-curve, so the speed-of-change begins at zero, climbs to a maximum ( rolling-average, not instantaneous ), then as the planet settles into its next Equilibrium, the speed-of-change slides down toward zero again.
We're still in the climbing part of the curve, so all the idiotic "scientific" consensus that it'll just stop soon is delusions.
AMOC's fucking-up, so the EU's going to be losing their ability to grow their own food, soon.
California, Texas, Sahara, Saudi Arabia, India, all ought be losing inhabitability in the next few decades, or less.
Not all of each-of-those's territories, but most of each of them.
But when you make most of India uninhabitable, .. perhaps you see the problem.
Perhaps you see why that would be a military-imperial-expansion opportunity that the communist-party wouldn't "leave on the table".
It's the wars that are going to be the biggest thing, in the stock market:
Trump's going to ditch the Iran war, & when sufficiently frustrated/goaded, will invoke either the Insurrection Act, Martial Law, or some other equivalent, soon.
( I read he tried having 2 senators arrested for disagreeing with him, yesterday: escalation's near the tippingpoint I've been trying to get people to understand for years, now )
All he'll care about is owning ALL of the Americas, & exterminating all who won't worship/glorify him.
But what happens when the EU's abandoned by the Americas, totally, AND AMOC shuts-off, removing their food-growing ability, AND China offers Putin/replacement the opportunity to war all they want on Europe, while China supplants Russia in gov't, industry-leadership/authority, etc?
EU's fucked.
& what part of the West is going to lift a finger to save Taiwan when Trump's rampaging the Americas & China-backed Putin/whomever is rampaging the EU??
Nobody.
China's going to REAP Taiwan, & with ClimatePunctuation's help, demolish India ( no, Modi's "strategy" of relying on Russia to back them in fighting China isn't worth anything ).
See a Pattern, here?
Regional Consolidation.
I discovered there's even another wrinkle thrown into the mix:
There's a comet heading towards our Sun right now, named Sungrazer.
Thing is, they don't know if it'll be eaten by the Sun.
If it is, that'll be in slightly less than 2 weeks? something like that..
The sunspots which are on the far-side of Sun did a CME in the last few days, & that was big enough to flare around most of the Sun's disc, from our perspective..
When a comet/whatever gets eaten by the Sun, it gets pulled-in the gravity-well, & converted to plasma by the iNTENSE energy, & that plasma then gets grabbed by the magnetic-fields, & like "aurora" on Earth, gets pulled to the poles of that field.
Which happen to be sunspots.
So, if that comet, Sungrazer, gets eaten, it'll be converted to plasma, yanked at absurdly-high speed into sunspots which will be facing us, then, & that impact will trigger a CME.
At us.
THAT is a possible Carrington Event ( red sky, fritzed satellites dropping down ).
While I hope it doesn't happen, the intense-weirdnesses going on nowadays .. make me worried about it.
They don't know if it'll be eaten.
IF it's eaten, THEN it's going to be converted into plasma, & slammed into Sun, fersure, & probably some CME will result, but in which direction?
Which magnetic-field-loops will grab it?
Which sunspot will it trigger?
Don't know, right?
Dice.
I hate gambling with lifeworth.
Trump's trashing all the economy-props he can, as fast as he can.
It isn't going to be that much longer, now, before Great Depression 2.
No GPS, much of the grid destroyed by millions+++ of volts picked-up on the electrical transmission lines ( last one set fire to things with the telegraph wires ).
Gov't t-bills/bonds are likely to be worthless once the economy pops, stocks .. remember all the bankruptcies in Covid??
Multiply that by about 1000x, or something.
Feudalism's what it's going to be like, from what I can see.
Corporate/oligarchic feudalism.
Berkshire Hathaway's the ONLY stock I'd want to own, right now.
There was a 4h-ish period, a couple years ago, perhaps, where there was an algorithmic dip/climb in the stock market: something like $1T changed ownership in that 4h..
This is going to be similar, whenever it happens..
& circumstance is going NUTS trying to enforce that it happens NOW, it looks like..
THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION, & check the space-weather sites to double-check that what I said about Sungrazer is true, & double-check to test what I said about Trump trying to butcher the economy, too, & do that with EVERY point I make.
While I've been right about what's happening, I got the timing wrong, through the years: I thought Trump's 1st term would be when he killed civilization from the Americas.
Blew that one, totally.
Now he's doing it, but .. why believe me now, if I've been wrong in the past, right?
Establishment's the safe bet: if establishment believes that Status Quo is forever, then that'd be the safest bet in the world, wouldn't it?

Hmm sounds as if you suggest I stock up on food and water.
