What's Going on with the Stock Market

It is no secret that the US economy is barely recovering. Personally, I don't think there is any actual recovery but hey, who am I to disagree with the Fed? Us taxpayers are a bunch of investors and the Treasury is our financial planner; it is the biggest, most corrupt scheme in the history of man kind. A bail out here, a stimulus there and everything is sunshine and puppy dogs. And you know what? We are to blame. We let this happen and our collapse is on our hands.

That was a pretty strong intro huh? Well it's the reality that is revealed once you lift the curtain. Wall street hit an all time high (again). The Fed came out and told investors that they can expect low interest rates for a while. So, this is a good thing. Interest rates are low which makes investors well, invest. To the every day person, this means nothing but to someone with an open mind, this is not "cool".

Normal people don't understand that the stock market does not reflect the standing of the US economy. When the OWS folks talk about corporations doing what is best for the shareholder instead of doing what is best for their employees, they are talking about the way that the stock market works compared to how the economy.  Profit will always come before people and honestly, that is a good thing in most cases. Lets say that the stock price for Home Depot rises from $30.00 a share to $60.00 a share. That has nothing to do with an economic recovery. All that means is that HD has been turning a bigger profit by reducing their liabilities, changing up their product line or something.  If a law like Obamacare causes a business to lay off 6000 employees, that translates to 6000 former liabilities, 6000 people who the business no longer has to pay. As long as consumers keep shopping at that business, profits will be made but because the employee base has been reduced, the profit margin will have increased and the stock value will increase.

What if I told you that the Fed influences the stock market so that certain people can make billions of dollars. Warren Buffet. Smart man, but dirty, greedy and corrupt. Do you have any idea how much influence that one, wrinkly old bastard has? How about George Soros? In 1992, George Soros made a short sale of the British Pound and sent the Bank of England into panic mode. Surely a few little people will gain a little bit of money but when it comes to people like Warren Buffet, we are talking millions if not billions of dollars of profit in one simple transaction.

Money is like a 101 proof bourbon, too much of it will make you sick. Basically, if all you care about is the money in your bank, the cars you keep in the garage and how many financial and business magazines write about you and your wealth, you will destroy your family, your employees and your morals. Every "good" sign will lead to a bad sign and our status will rise and fall. The elite will shit on you, me and everyone around us just so that they can maintain power and keep making a boat fucking load of cash.

Keep your eyes open and please, don't panic. There is nothing you or I could do to stop the collapse that is coming. We can only prepare by buying physical bullion and stockpiling supplies and goods. We can only ride out the storm because unless a revolution happens, nothing can be done to change the course we are on.

Thanks.
