One of the great virtues of capitalism is that people can buy what they want and get what they deserve. When amateur investors want to buy tech stocks, Wall Street finds new tech tech to sell them.
Life is getting interesting and today's missive - let's call it "Fakery on Steroids" - and the fiat financial system that gives our elites and deep state the power appears to be unraveling. Fake Money, Fake Elections, Fake Politicians - the World of Make Believe. What do us proles do - we watch, we wonder, and hopefully toast the sunset tonight with wine. Us of no power, no wealth, no control. Just Bhistis along for the ride.
Well, nobody wants to take control because of the example given through the January 6th Commie- tee. And the peoples administration of America have assumed, essentially, control away from the Democratic Republic. Whilst saying we're a threat to democracy itself. 🤷
Well, James, you can groan, you can moan, and you can complain but you can't do anything about it. It is what happens in Empires. Oh, sure, rise up - do this or do that - no matter what you can't do anything about it. Get a grip. Yes - I get it - you don't like it so there must be something we can do. The only thing you can do is prepare for the chaos ahead. And, yes, enjoy today because you may not like tomorrow. Of course, just this ol' man's opinion.
I retired when I was 50 and have travelled the world since I was 14, worked in 7 different countries & very much enjoyed my life,
I've also been a responsible parent: my eldest daughter has a PhD in genetics from Harvard, my youngest daughter graduated Magna Cum Laude in Bio/Chem from Brown in 3 yrs and graduated from NYU Med school and was the Chief resident at UCLA for 2 yrs and now works for the VA @ the Presidio and teaches and UCSF & my son is an Electrical Engineer and a "free spirit" thank you very much! I have 4 grandsons.
But I am ready to check out of this "chaotic world" anytime.
Can you say the same?
Recently 8/1/24 watched an hour Utube video of a discussion between Ray Dalio and Deepak Chopra and at about the 55 minute mark, Deepak made a very interesting remark. "Death is not the opposite of life, it is the opposite of BIRTH."
Hmmm.......a little angry I suspect. What you can do about it is to prepare for what is coming. You can't stop it - for some reason you cannot put your mind around that. So you and your kids have spent time in the world of the universities. Congratulations! Talk about patronizing - education by the deep state, frankly, in a variety of institutions - is it really knowledge and wisdom of how the world works. The key word is "institutions". I am in my late 70s and haven't retired - why you ask? Because I have never been an employee. I have a much different - not necessarily better but certain different view than you. It doesn't make me any more patronizing than you. We each have our views and glad for it. The world is a-changin' and I get it - at least from my perspective. Hope you manage to stay in this "chaotic world" for a fur piece more.
And, I was just reading Voltaire’s Letters about Quakers. “Death is the opposite of birth.” It might just be a continuation. It seems Tom’s trailing stops have given ample warning. There is always warning but sometimes too much warning is depressing. You have to wonder what Bill is drinking… so you can stay away from it.
I understand that you primarily write about economic/ financial matters. Currently you are almost forced to touch on the presidential race and seem to be understandably disappointed in the offerings of the democratic and republican parties. Early on, for "One brief shining moment" - okay, a few times, you mentioned Robert Kennedy Jr. He presents us an articulate, relatively positive, and civil option. I agree with his stated positions on many topics. I ask that you include him in the discussion when you delve into matters political.
I want to add that I enjoy your publications. In fact it is because of International Living, which I understand you started, that I First traveled to Huanchaco, Peru. There I met the woman who is now my wife. Thank you.
New Flash: DOJ just awarded 1.2 million to Peter Strzok (Struck, as in struck it rich) and $800000 to Liza Page, both formerly of the FBI, because their emails regarding a plan (insurance policy) to undermine a duly elected president of the United States of America where made public. This brings home the fact that money grows on trees and is of no consequence to anyone, as no one pays or is asked to pay extra taxes to make it magically appear. Meanwhile, many innocent people remain imprisoned for going to our nation's capital in support of the most beleaguered public official of our time.
Agree except people didn't go to DC for Trump (specifically).
They went there because the election was stolen. It was partly because it was Trump, but the main point was the fraudulent election and that election wasn't the only one.
At dawn, the destruction ensues. Rockets and Warplanes enter the skies of Herdon and laser beams disintegrate the Mountains of Lion Czar. Within the oceanic movements of Pentacle, Huzbeth triggers a boiling storm that reaches the Eagle loin. Bring home the gold as it dips into liquid soup for the rabbits feast. Did not the satellite capture?
Harris, color your hair blonde and wear bright mascara. The tears of Forever Malachi will weep at 01:40 hrs. When the cardinal point misses its trajectory over the Temple of Smiles, the eyebrows align with the Joker’s mouth that expands past the electric wing span. Fake is beyond hope, for the darkness within the soul outshines the sparkling glow of the eyes.
De nada, actually referring to the author Christopher Cook to decipher your text. He's been pretty good with being able to respond to the audience cryptography. And probably has an above average IQ. 😉
If we can make that rigged & fake $hit up, we can make anything up. Time for a reboot with reality and simply rescind on that fiat currency con-game so all the imperialist rich fks get what they deserve: Physically-brutal Public Service, and to be voted out of existence by a DAO committee of peers consisting of the 90 + percent of the world's population.
Hey, I can still dream, can't I ?!
(Until the thought police are unleashed in 2030...) :-/
Bill, how about a couple articles about how the Japanese Yen debt bomb will affect the US downturn? Lots of talk about how the Yen carry trade was interrupted by the BOJ raising rates with consequences in the US market…
Will society or investors, in the widest sense possible, have confidence in this government, in the widest sense possible, to continue their leverage? That's what I believe to be the primary question right now.
Go Kamala. Her presidency will mark the beginning of the 1st Turning. I will endure the eventual quick demise of our current state of affairs. My grandchildren and the generation to come might enjoy the optimism and opportunity afforded the 1st turning. Maybe better times for all. Pretty good job Strauss and Howe.😊
JN: If you are watching the market now, you’ll soon see why..Down, Down Down. Even Apple is getting it. Lost a few bucks on that one. But made a lot on it also. Buffett is sellling a few of his stocks ; Apple is one of them. Future doesn't look too bright when Buffett starts selling.

Another "passive" response.."Oh let's just drink some wine and watch the sunset"....AGAIN!

Oh, sure, rise up - do this or do that - no matter what you can't do anything about it. Get a grip. Yes - I get it - you don't like it so there must be something we can do.

Wow! 😮
Your reply is contradictory. On the one hand you say "there is nothing you can do about it."
On the other hand, "The only thing you can do is prepare for the chaos ahead."
Which is it?
There are many ways to "prepare for for the chaos ahead."
BUT...I haven't read any suggestions from you yet!
So as to my original post to your early morning reply...PASSIVE.
ALL Hat & no Cattle.
Pseudo alpha. He’s more prepared than you are.
All asshat & no hogs.
Go ahead. Keep putting lipstick on your swine.
I'll keep putting lipstick on my pig
as long as you keep putting lipstick on your A-whole!
Pathetic. Seek professional help dude.
You have IED. Interment explosive disorder.
Seek treatment man.
I'll keep putting lipstick on my pig as long as you keep putting lipstick
on your A-whole.
Each to his own, James. You look your way and I'll look mine. Hopefully, you'll enjoy life as best you can.
Nail’eddork is a braggart who self-aggrandizes as alpha archetype.
His mind lives in a carnival house of mirrors of his own making & liking made out of a myriad of distortion mirrors.
wow...thanks for the very professional psychoanalysis
Wow, thanks for your 25 cent psychoanalysis !
what are your qualifications to render such conclusions?

Wrap your head around that. I get it..do you?
Don't be so GD patronizing!

Dear Mr. Bonner,
I understand that you primarily write about economic/ financial matters. Currently you are almost forced to touch on the presidential race and seem to be understandably disappointed in the offerings of the democratic and republican parties. Early on, for "One brief shining moment" - okay, a few times, you mentioned Robert Kennedy Jr. He presents us an articulate, relatively positive, and civil option. I agree with his stated positions on many topics. I ask that you include him in the discussion when you delve into matters political.
I want to add that I enjoy your publications. In fact it is because of International Living, which I understand you started, that I First traveled to Huanchaco, Peru. There I met the woman who is now my wife. Thank you.
Respectfully and sincerely,
Roy Braswell
Ya left off Fake Polls...
Exactamundo, as Joseph Stalin said, its not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count the votes
Wait!! What are the Polish doing?
I missed it. Some Olympic gold 🏅 medals
Is there a Kielbasa recall?

Bill, your writing indicates you have a problem with mankind. Through Thousands of years MAN
has not changed. As you "pick-on" the U.S.A., and other Western Nations, why don't you extoll the
virtues of Stalin-ism, and Mao-ism, they for sure helped the masses----they removed them from
any choice and suffering. Millions went to the "HAPPY HUNTING GROUND", not needing to vote.

Bill has in the past.

Woah, that's cryptic commentary at it's finest. That might take a few days to decipher. Christopher?
"Herndon and lazer beams..." " The tears of Forever Malachi will weep at 1:40 hrs."

Prolific! Absolutely prolific commentary, Egypt Solomon.

Thank you for viewing. 😃

You've possibly outdone yourself ES. Bravo!
Does this add real meaning to "fake it till you make it"?

No doubt Dan or Tom will get to it.
I was missing PGV for a while. Good to see his spirit lives on here.
Yes I was wondering what happened to him. Did he die or just quit writing long responses????
In all caps!!!😂
I like to think he just moved on to share his thoughts elsewhere.
Will society or investors, in the widest sense possible, have confidence in this government, in the widest sense possible, to continue their leverage? That's what I believe to be the primary question right now.
