  1. Wake up. This new alliance of tyrants is the direct result of US policies, interference and CIA meddling across the globe for the last 60+ years. Economic warfare. Sanctions and missile strikes. Deposing leaders. Outright war. It’s a disgusting abuse of power, done while lying to its people and the world.
  2. After Scotus ruled that States can’t strike Trump from the ballot, Haley realized that her one slim chance died. That and she was running out of money, nobody wants to back a loser.
  3. Aaaaand Haley quits the race. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/nikki-haley-ends-presidential-campaign-major-trump-rival/story?id=106568226 “ Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley is planning on suspending her campaign for president in the wake of a slew of Super Tuesday losses, campaign sources tell ABC News. This now leaves leaving former President Donald Trump as the last major candidate standing among Republicans, all but guaranteeing him the party's nomination…”
  4. Of course it’s no mystery and I’m not claiming some sort of mystery. All I’m saying is the smart money is leaving the market, taking profits because they know a major market drop is coming. The problem is people like you, if you are what you are representing yourself as. Telling people(your clients) not to take their holdings out of the markets when the smart money is beginning to move. Because your totals would go down and you might lose bonuses. Again, if are what you say you are. Its industry wide. The financial sector in general. I have several colleagues and family members who are following this type of advice, and they are going to take a bath when the market shifts. I’m doing what the smart money is doing. The dumb money is buying in at the peak. With encouragement from people like you.
  5. No, I’m not that interested in what Buffet said or says. I explained that already, it’s what they DO that matters. Plus I’m not watching just Buffet, like I explained already, I’m keeping track of multiple movers and shakers. Here’s another story involving such people and that they’ve exited over 11 billion out of the stock market: https://fortune.com/2024/02/27/the-great-cashout-jeff-bezos-leon-black-jamie-dimon-and-the-walton-family-have-now-sold-a-combined-11-billion-in-company-stock-this-month-some-for-the-first-time-ever/amp/ “High-profile CEOs, founders, and heirs are selling stock by the bucketload in the companies that made them billionaires. For nearly the entire bunch, share prices are trading near all-time highs. … Jeff Bezos sold Amazon sharesworth $8.5 billion in multiple transactions this month. Meanwhile, Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, sold $150 million in stock last week, … Mark Zuckerberg unloaded about 1.4 million shares of Meta stock worth roughly $638 million, according to an analysis from insider stock sales data firm Verity. This latest batch of sales came after previously culling 588,200 shares in November, 688,400 in December, and 447,200 in January.” Jamie Dimon, Jeff Bezoz, the Walmart owners-Waltons, Zuckerberg. This is on top of what Buffet’s been doing. It’s significant, they are reducing their exposure to the markets because they expect a significant drop in the market. If everything was fine they simply wouldn’t be exiting the markets in these numbers.
  6. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-rules-trump-cannot-kicked-colorado-ballot-rcna132291 "In an unsigned ruling with no dissents, the court reversed the Colorado Supreme Court, which had determined that Trump could not serve again as president under Section 3 of the Constitution's 14th Amendment. The provision prohibits those who previously held government positions but later “engaged in insurrection” from running for various offices." There is no denying that Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive in various State courts as others besides Colorado also had similar rulings. They are going to have to go back to the drawing board, obviously. The recent Illinois ruling comes to mind.
  7. Anyone who can think critically can see that inflation has been much higher than that. And they’ll simply change the definition when needed, like what constitutes a recession, for instance.
  8. Happy Independence Day Texas.  

  9. Pre WWII Britain faced an uncertain future, and wisely chose Chamberlain who gave them "Peace In Our Time". What they really needed was a Churchill, but they didn't know it. They found out though.
  10. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/who-could-be-next-largest-canadian-pension-fund-sells-manhattan-office-tower-1 "Canada Pension Plan Investment Board has recently done three deals at deeply discounted prices, selling its interests in a pair of Vancouver towers, and a business park in Southern California, but it was its Manhattan office tower redevelopment project that shocked the industry: the Canadian asset manager sold its stake for just $1. The worry now is that such firesales will set an example for other major investors seeking a way out of the turmoil too…"
  11. To be honest with you, I always found it too obscure and such. People referring back to a Q post from 2018 AND IT HAD THE NUMBER 235 IN IT! THAT MEANS THAT TODAY WILL SEE...whatever their busy little minds came up with. No no, the people I listen to you would really like until you found out the source of their knowledge and intel. They are telling me this is a year of many woes and joys. Failures and freedom. Fear. Rage. Devolving into a new start maybe. There are a lot of uncertainties and the stakes are way too high. Whatever happens, you stay safe, okay?
  12. Surely there is more to the case than that, a dscrepency that goes back to 1994. That the banks and corporations Trump did business with had 30 years to do something about but never did. In fact, banks testified FOR Trump in the case, defending him. And if you can think critically, you can see that this isn't worth a 350,000,000 fine, plus interest. If he had done something illegal he would have been charged decades ago. So please, tell me the rest of the case, or at least what the MSM is saying.
  13. And if he had done anything illegal he would have been arrested DECADES AGO.
  14. 5 days ago I suggested that the wealthy would leave NY in droves. And it looks like this ridiculous ruling against Trump is indeed waking up wealthy business owners. Because that judge made it illegal to negotiate with a bank. Lets say you want a loan to build a new skyscraper. You own one already, and go to the bank for a loan against your property because you want to build another one. You put your property at a worth of 500 million. The bank says no, it’s only worth 450 million. So you negotiate with the bank and come up with a number that both AGREE on. And you get the loan. Every single business person that wants to borrow against their business does this. The banks do this. Now in NY, any business’s past negotiations can be deemed illegal. This is 100 times worse than what Trudeau did when he had citizen’s bank accounts seized. It has singlehandedly changed the game for doing business in NY. And this realization has spread across the nation. Independent truckers have every right to decline a load they don’t want to haul. The governor of NY better wake the hell up if she thinks trying to seize bank accounts and homes will help the situation.
  15. Let me say it again since you seem to have missed it. Actions speak louder than words. Let me also add: sometimes the truth is so precious, she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies. That's a Churchill quote. Someone like a Buffet can usually never release the truth, or the whole truth, or nothing but the truth. Everything is measured through what his competitors may or may not do with it. Let's face it, at his level he is engaged in a form of economic warfare with his competitors. As is Dimon. As is Bezos. As is Zuckabuck. As is Bil Gates. As is Elon Musk and the rest of them. These folks also have to measure their words and actions with an eye on what the public will do as a result. "Buffet says sell!!!" I'm sure you can imagine what can go wrong. He, as the rest, always play with their cards held close to their chest. As far as that goes, these folks may even take actions as a feint to fool others, much like a skillful politician. Lets face it, billions of dollars of profits are at stake. And they are all mostly getting into a strong cash position. That speaks loudly, moonbox. Hopefully you can realize this. BTW, why didn't you link Buffet's quote that you were referring to? No I haven't heard what his latest comments are, but there are quotes from 3 days ago, today, and other releases. I'm not going to read them all, trying to winnow out which one you are referring to.
  16. On top of Warren Buffet having a huge pot of cash on the sidelines, apparently Jeff Bezos, Jamie Dimon and Mark Zuckerberg have recently sold off stock that totals 9 billion. Actions speak louder than words. And the above people have picked up on something to come that has them moving billions in preparation. They are going to swoop in when the time is right and make a killing.
  17. Okay folks, you’ve been flinging poo at each other for this entire thread, just like most of these threads. WHAT DOES IT ACCOMPLISH?? Back to the thread topic, I think that if truckers boycott NY it would be a shame, because it would hurt the common people. But I understand the outrage. The truckers may bring commerce to a halt. All real estate tycoons in NY operate the same way for which Trump was found guilty. And just as Trudeau freezing bank accounts in Canada, this court decision in NY has caused an unintended earthquake. No one wants to be the next found guilty for doing business in New York. If I was Trump I’d let them seize his properties. Let that sink in among the wealthy, they’ll leave New York in droves.
  18. Well, his point on Putin just doesn’t make sense. Putin had Navalny killed because of an “election next month”. But that would be so obvious and enrage the voting public that one of their options had been murdered, no? Of all the things that Putin may or may not be, stupidity is not one of them. There is no way he would have lasted this long by being stupid. Killing a political opponent before an election, after letting him live for years and years does not add up. If Putin wanted him dead, the guy would have died long ago. Putin didn’t want a martyr. Navalny’s death was not due to Putin, regardless of what the nonsensical MSM says.
  19. Gold is not worth 20% less today than it was in 2011. Gold peaked around 1930 in 2011. Or what am I missing? I’m not really concerned about gold as much as the hoarding of it by various nations.
  20. Not sure why you think gold’s 60 year low was the year 2000. Check the 1970’s, 1960’s, and so on. It’s average value in 1972 was 58.17 for instance. And today it’s 2030. I hope you are right about the rest of it…Warren Buffett seems more pessimistic than you.
  21. And for those keeping track, add another 10,000 layoffs by auto parts manufacturer Forvia. They make parts for Tesla.
  22. I'm not hyper focused on it, but keeping track of several things that are all pointing in the same direction. -The US Gov will have to pay back 8.9 trillion in maturing US treasuries this year. They can't do it. -US debt to GDP is dangerously high. There is less interest in buying US treasuries. -US debt is over 34 trillion, annual interest is over 1 trillion, annual deficits are around 1.7 trillion. Historic. -US interest rates are greatly impacting real estate, auto purchases and consumer debt. -The aforementioned BTFP ends on March 11. Regional banks will be hurting over this. -Captains of industry(Warren Buffet, Jamie Dimon, MIchael Burry) are preparing for something big. -The BLS announces over 300K new jobs, as Google, Zerox, Wayafair, Ebay, Paypal, Charles Schwab, UPS, Citigroup all announce MAJOR layoffs. -BRICS is rapidly moving away from any oil trading in US dollars, the world reserve currency. -They've developed their own SWIFT like system, neatly circumventing sanctions levied against them -They are developing their own gold backed currency, and hoarding gold in anticipation of this. -Since 2000, gold has increased an average of 7.8% per year, better than the S&P or the bond markets. There are more indicators, but none of it looks good. It appears that we are headed for a serious recession or worse. My parents were able to prepare for the 1980 recession, and they had to renew a mortgage during that time. Many family friends did not heed warnings, and then went bankrupt during that time, losing everything. I don't know for sure what we are facing, it is better to be prepared, just in case. Like Warren Buffet is.
  23. I’ve been focusing on the US as they impact Canada far more than Japan. For instance, on March 11 the Bank Term Funding Program ends. Ever heard of it? BTFP, a little program that has been keeping smaller banks afloat. Will they extend it? Can they afford to? What will happen to these smaller banks as they can no longer meet their obligations? What will these effects do to public confidence? All very interesting questions.
