How to make fireworks in your account
While most of the US population drowns in a prolonged semi-conscious state for several days, with moments of alertness (they’ll know they are alive when they see the fireworks) – the remaining force of human intelligence on the planet, spends time trying to figure out ways to break through this vast blanket of social control that’s been thrown over the population like a sticky net, which is slowly eating away at the global standard of living, overall quality, lowering human genetic value. Each day, our money is worth less and less. Why? We explain this in Splitting Pennies – Understanding Forex.
The problem with much discussion on Zero Hedge and alternative media in general, is that it lacks a conclusion and proposed solution. So, we mostly agree that the USD is toast, there’s an insurmountable debt that cannot be paid back (because in a debt-based money system, if the debt is paid off, money will cease to exist). Gold is the go to alternative to stocks & bonds which are mostly overrated – but then what? So let’s say Gold hit’s $50,000 USD per ounce. Then what? Well for one, be sure that you have some good security because in a crisis, the only real currency is accelerated lead, as elaborated here eloquently.
So what is an investor to do? Fundamental analysis of markets is impossible, because of reasons outlined well on this site:
1) Market data is manipulated heavily. By the time any investor receives market information (unless he’s paying for a front running service) one can assume it’s been seen by leading market controllers, HFTs, directors of various unsundry government organizations, and George Soros.
2) The world changes too rapidly for any fundamental strategy to play out. Too many wildcard events can derail strategies such as value investing. Brexit is a great example – and there will be many more “Brexits.”
3) Even if the above 1 & 2 didn’t exist, an investor would need a carrying broker that was fair and honest, and would provide decent execution, and not go out of business. With investing strategies such as some which are discussed on this site, this is a big issue. For example, if Gold is $50,000 let’s say that GLD goes bust, and starts a chain reaction on exchange listed ETFs and ETNs, which can’t possibly fullfill their underlying liquidity obligations even in currenct conditions, not in extreme conditions. Could it bring down some BDs with them? SIPC is limited (..and if it were a TD Ameritrade, no insurance in the world can cover it). So with such extreme strategies, counterparty risk is very large – especially in such climates that would make extreme strategies flourish. Florida residents know very well how this works, when a big Hurricane strikes, the majority of underwriters for flood & Hurricane insurance go bust (FL law or mortgage policy sometimes require residents carry “Hurricane” insurance …read more
