    your overthinking it.... read all my comments in the past couple of weeks, and last couple of years for that matter....

    everything is crystal, always has been, always will.

    one of the elements people need to realise the science is still very much in it's infancy for the following reason: why does a globalist buy a media station? he actually doesnt know himself. the best he can hope for rationally is what i would call higher order effects sometimes known as volatility

  3. lol, I was called a tin foiled conspiracy theorist for listing everything you just said. What matters in markets, as I have learned in my 23 years in finance, is that credit is everything. Monetarism matters more. The idea that the participants' biases play an important causal role in historical events is both valid and interesting, but it is too general to qualify as a theory that can help to explain and predict the course of events. The enhanced trend will affect the prevailing bias in one of two ways: it will lead to the expectation of further acceleration or to the expectation of a correction. In the latter case, the underlying trend may or may not survive the correction in stock prices. In the former case, a positive bias develops causing a further rise in stock prices and a further acceleration in the underlying trend. So, all being said, Economists would like to tell you that markets are rational when the opposite is true. Markets are always irrational, and since the Central banks like to intervene every way they can, they try to prolong the bull market using artifical monetary value. Don't rely on math, or rational equilibrium, because at the end of the day, you're trading what's in front of you, and you are only as good as your last trade. Manage risk, size you positions accordingly, point. blank. period.

    I don't recall you ever complaining when the market was soaring day after day for the last 11 years. What made you change your mind all of a sudden? You think market was making all-time-highs all on its own without some sort of meddling? Well, it's about time you finally opened your eyes to the reality of market manipulation. BTW you're not the only naive one around here (eg. DOZU)

    PS. Do you honestly believe going back to the gold standard would change anything?

    No, we have been manipulated all along. You just haven't realized it until the market began tanking and you lost money.

  8. I have not lost any money at all. I've been buying gold like crazy. Look at my very first post and see if i didn't know what is happening. I'm not going to say I told you so, all I want to tell people now is to buy real tangible assets and not some bipolar number jumping up and down on a screen hypnotizing us into the greatest slumber mankind has ever seen.

    Problem is gold is speculative, no different from the markets.
    Gold is nearly useless except it's a good non corrosive conductor.
    As for jewelry, well like fashion, it changes, maybe gold will be replaced with body art/tattoos or the best looking face masks.
