My thoughts may seem discombobulated, but there's a method to my thinking; try to trudge through to the end!
So I'm sitting here, brainstorming some specific household items that might make a good leading indicator of an impending recession or Black swan event for an Artificial General Intelligence model based on what people might be buying or selling on digital platforms such as Facebook marketplace and others, compiling moods (happy, sad, etc), and more. Regardless of where we're at today, nothing could stop what has come to this day, reflecting on ourselves both as individuals and societies over the last 20 years in becoming sheep to the tech masters who already have these massive supercomputers figuring out things we can't even comprehend, and giving We The People a meager crumb at the feast. Some avenues I've considered for unique data points in the model include Nick Laird (a charts guru), access to a Bloomberg terminal, and Shadowstats data. Unfortunately one also has to look at the big tech companies for data inputs - so let's hope that Gab is both honest, and successful due to that honesty to their users, and let's hope that Truth Social isn't a flop, but a viable alternative for consumers of social media and consumers of that data!
Did you know that "data" is a commodity? Yes it's bought and sold. But unlike a barrel of oil or a bar of Gold, data is not homogeneous; in a sense, it's anti-homogeneous. These qualities ultimately lead to better arbitrage opportunities, until new tools are created to "narrow the arbitrage spread". I've always been fascinated as to how an ETF could be created to figure out a way to profit from mining all kinds of data (in which one would have to build a model), and then apply it to where we are in the business cycle and invest based on that market cycle. Palantir, but not the big brother kind. A "Do Good" Corporation. Kinda catchy name 😉! Keep with me.
There are too many academia and intelligencia in these various institutions, particularly at the top of the pyramid who couldn't think their way out of a paper bag. Although these organizations have bright employees underneath the Executives who are capable in making decisions, leaders continue to fail to utilize employees to their best potential. Executives will press towards things like indexing because it is the "easier alternative" than potentially being wrong! The inconvenience of Executives having to answer to those "sue happy" stakeholders in which there are very few of compared to the sum total of all customers, yet those who file frivolous lawsuits damage markets; many of these cases ultimately "settle", making it significantly more cumbersome and costly for everyone else (including you). Ah the trick up my sleeve: but for companies this is a more appealing option. Huh? Although Option 1 allows Executives to not deal with these inconvenient lawsuits in the first place, whereas option 2 provides shareholders a massive barrier to entry of competitors. Milton Friedman's pure capitalist theories, at work in real life (an entire three generations of business schools have this mindset globally). As America and the rest of the world has approached a dangerous groupthink path (which for many past societies, has marked the proverbial "end of the line" of many former destroyed civilized societies such as the Romans, Greeks and many others), today this groupthink has led to the self-fulfilling prophecies of indexing making large companies even larger, and then growing them to the point where they are too big to fail without the government being toppled alongside them. We are at that point. Case in point, Elon Musk knew quite well to keep his eye on being added to the S&P 500 index fund, and when it did, the value skyrocketed. He unlocked shareholder value. He was and has been doing his job for long-term shareholders, which he is mandated to do. These calculations have been figured in. Today's markets reward different metrics than past markets, yet most mainstream economists are driving the equivalent of a 1987 Yugo, still analyzing today's markets with old metrics. The current day reflects a desire for growth, in return for loyalty to the global government agenda (yeah I went there). The MONSTERS at Vanguard, Blackrock and at voter proxy service institutions such as ISS have created what is akin to a parasite leeching onto another parasite, and each one requiring each others survival. It's probably a handful of people's faults, but some people definitely are knowingly complicit in these insane scheme they are running to stifle capitalism and innovation. One side croaks, they both croak. Are we about to witness the destruction, or the continued build up and then bigger destruction of both the global government and big business, in an epic God-inspired series of events? Oh. My. Lord. If that's the case, I have a front row seat in God's bleacher box to the most epic, insane disaster that's ever faced humanity.
Too many money managers are afraid of their own shadow, for fear that their 3-year risk adjusted returns will veer too much off their benchmark, and they will find themselves out of a job. Thought crime has become an offense worthy of a ticket everywhere we look. In 5 years, it will put you in prison. Barriers to entry, completely secured. Unbelievable, yet completely believable in the banking industry! Large Banks and the Federal Reserve love to conspire and create booms and busts that no one understands in order to profit. Don't believe me? Have the Military AUDIT them in FULL! "The Military is the only option". And that is wrong in every sense that it has come to this. Who in the Military will share these thoughts? To this point, it's like a teenager who loves to play with dynamite and lighters, and no matter what the outcome, he's not in trouble regardless. Who will innovate in the future if everyone is subject to groupthink? Who will get us out of this? God. Democracy is 51% of anything, folks. Don't let your mind wander too far on that question. God's got this.
For the Love of Money is at the root of all evil. The desire of ones outcomes will be projected into the world. So start your Financial Transformation today! Try your hardest to become a more responsible human! Do not generally spend more than you make. If you have the experience with the various financial tools and markets or have accumulated enough to be in the top 5%, you might have some strategic, prudent options. But most people are not in that predicament. The 95% of those who need help the most are either not being served, are on autopilot with minimal needs, or are generating an obscene amount of profits for the corporation, derived from a small percentage of customers. The companies who tout that they serve all of their customers; do they? Everything in the financial world has been created for the top 5% in this financial caste system, and the 95% are stuck trying to navigate the system. Soon it will be for the 1%. Try finding a Life and Wealth coach for $25 an hour, and I would rather watch paint dry (unless it's the walls of the Federal Reserve being repurposed after a wall demolition, to which I'll make an exception). Would you cut a tree with a chainsaw if you did not know how to use a chainsaw? Would you dare navigate complex financial markets without seeking help from a Captain who can see the lighthouse from his quarters? It starts by educating yourself! No one will teach you more than yourself and your desire to learn. You have to practice, you have to talk to those who have learned the tricks of the trade, in which we all have to work this trade whether you like it or not. Think of it in that mindset. YOU work in the financial business, whether you like it or not! You have a checkbook. You have currency sitting either in the physical or in digital. You may have investments, savings accounts and other things. You are a money manager. Act the part, or find someone to do it for you. The good news is, there's no shortage of online, non-woke education with straight-shooters, and a wide plethora of various commentary to read and watch. Please don't ask me "who should I watch"! Watch as many as you can find, and then ask the community and myself for our opinions. We have a great group of people willing to help you in your search for answers that regularly comment on my channel, providing answers as I don't tend to my channel 24/7.
Do not seek out the voices of those who sound pleasing to the ear, but instead, seek out the voices of those who wish to show you the Truth, whether pleasant or unpleasant. Wouldn't you want a friend to tell you the Truth as they saw it? If you read these words and can hear me, you are my friend! I am trying to help you shape your financial paradigm better, which will help you send to your true purpose in life much quicker, regardless of what that is. That is my gift to you in this life. We are in this together! Jesus Christ came once before, He is surely coming again. If you are a brother or sister in Christ, we are here for each other 🙏🏻🙌🏻. I'm going to need you all by my side on the day of Jesus' return! Lord knows others will be looking for a life raft, but none will be found in those days. I've been teaching you all for quite a while now, for those blessed enough, over 3 years! For those who know me personally, many years. The days ahead will be challenging, but they will be richly rewarding for those who seek Him, seek the Truth, seek righteousness and seek justice (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit who holds all Keys of Wealth and Justice to this reality we live in). I have never had such an out of body experience since the time that I've been born again (January 2019). I'm encouraging you - it's time to change your lifestyle of the old, and turn it in for the lifestyle of the new. God gives you freewill, I cannot tell you "you must make changes or else". Your business is your business! I too once enjoyed the vices of the world, but I no longer do. Yesterday, I resorted to commentary of a secondhand account to discuss the Superb Owl as I no longer watch it, and I will always call it the Superb Owl, because that is what it is to them, one of their many "in plain sight" symbols.
Do you seek new opportunities, or have you found yourself content? Being content is a dangerous thing. Being unstable is equally as dangerous. Seek new challenges, but weigh out the risks. Your gut is your coin toss, but trust it when it tugs. You will find a point in your life that you know you might be getting in over your head on something, but your soul can feel that in the long run you'll be better off for it. When Hindsight is 20/20, go find some good binoculars. Get to know people better. Become a reader of people, whether through listening or through seeing. I'm a digital and listening people watcher. I'm a digital nomad traveler. I'm a parent who is watching his flock, both here at home, and digitally on Telegram, Gab and Substack. I'm so incredibly blessed to have you all here. Keep your sight on the prize. Remember: prepare and pray! God has got this. Thank the Lord. Amen 🙏🏻🙌🏻
