Wait till the market actually blows:

Wait till the market actually blows.

Stay patient.

It’s coming.

Thought it would happen in 2021 and was shown to be wrong publicly many times.

Thought the bubble would’ve burst by now but too many bad actors on Wall Street are pumping this mess to keep the bubble going as long as they can.

It’s already begun popping. Look at ARK invest, growth stocks, biotech stocks and the Russell 2000 since February 2021. 

Trillion-dollar companies are trading like penny stocks in after-hours markets after shitty earnings (see Amazon and Facebook Q1 2021 Earnings).

That’s not a sign of a healthy market.

But until you see massive short covering of Gamestop, you haven’t seen anything yet.

Thought the Russia crisis would be a catalyst yet the market went up today (Feb.24.22) after looking like it was going to crash in the morning.

The plunge protection team is hard at work maintaining the bubble.

They can’t let it pop because once the world sees what Wall Street has done, there will be chaos around the world.

Then the real test comes.

Watching videos of war is heartbreaking.

All these things you’ve written about are devastating for so many people.

People’s lives will forever be cut short due to the decisions of a few.

War is politicians and their egos playing the game of Risk with people’s lives.

War used to be more hidden. You read about it in the papers, listened to it on the radio and saw it on TV.

Now it feels so much closer because of social media.

You can get the exact feeling on the ground instantaneously.

Tik Tok and Twitter make it feel closer than it is.

The world has gone to war throughout its history, but this time feels different.

We’ve never had many countries have nuclear weapons.

That creates scenarios similar to what happened in the Bay of Pigs.

Side note: learn about the story of the Russian submarine commander who stopped nuclear war from happening during the Cuban missile crisis - Vasily Arkhipov, a true hero. 

War is terrible for everyone.

No one wins during war.

I’ve been writing about how this feels similar to the Great Depression setup. 

The end of the last long-term debt cycle.

History has a lot of patterns.

Once you learn about them, you can see how although it may not repeat itself, it sure does rhyme.

If and when those days come, they will be the toughest you face.

Watching war happen in front of you and markets blowing up will test you like nothing else during your lifetime.

Are you ready for the attention?

Are you ready for your words to be weaponized against you?

Are you ready to be canceled before you’ve even started?

Are you ready for the hatred and criticism from keyboard warriors?

Expect a lot of surprises but continue to focus on the work.

Continue to write about what you think.

Continue to use your voice to educate people on the issues that matter in the world.

Of course, it will be biased from your perspective, but still.

Why can’t you speak your mind?

Why can’t you be a voice of reason?

Why not?

People don’t have to listen to me. No one’s forcing them to.

If they want to, great.

If they don’t, great.

If they like my stuff, great.

If they don’t, great.

I don’t know if they’ll be angry, sad, mad, happy or amazed. 

I cannot control how they react to what I do.

I can only control my effort.

My effort is decided by my ability to understand the world, think about it, interpret it and comment on it. That’s on me.

Everything else that happens is not up to me.

Wait till the market actually blows.

Then the work really begins.
