The Perfect Storm

Before any great storm is the “calm”.  You’re standing on your porch and an eery quiet will envelope your horizon. The gentle, swaying, movement of the trees diminishes along with the din of the birds and the insects anticipating  the approaching danger. Nature provides a “warning” system to give the animal life time to take refuge. The animals have their own radar. Instead of wailing sirens, they use other changes around them such as barometric pressure and smell as an alert. Animals sense this. The “quiet” is not really a “quiet” or a “peace”…..instead it is the “warning”.

Its okay if you don’t feel the coming storm. Its okay if you don’t listen to the sirens like Dalio, Druckenmiller, Gross, and other prescient voices. After all, how can it really be that bad? You’ve had many of these voices for years now predicting a collapse. I remember like yesterday posting the Kress Cycle and its warning signs for collapse in 2015. What happened? The “market” indexes just went higher. I love how they tried to “engineer” a 10-20% correction in 2015 and couldn’t even allow that painted “normalcy”. Their “catch 22″ is the “illusion” of a normal functioning market is no longer even possible. The algo designed movement cannot function if the downside begins to move derivative currents into a tsunami.

Its become so “calm” that crypto currencies are now showing up as a large warning cloud on the horizon. Can you imagine just how insane this is? First of all do you think for one minute if crypto currencies were a real threat to the “dollar” that the PTB would allow them to exist. They can flatten these digital air bullshit ponzi puffs in a nanosecond. They’re using them to deflect “dollars” from physical gold and silver. What’s more amazing to me is that stackers like Weir, V, Hoffman and others are touting this fraud. Even the sharper minds are susceptible to the boyz. Does it make any difference in the long run? Nope….but it does put some brakes on the physical consumption of metals. 

I have zero problem using the crypto currencies as a “speculative” tool or as a means of transferring your dollars or wealth. Especially cross border transfers. BUT this is to be done with GREAT CAUTION. Imagine selling your house and taking the 300K and buying Bitcoin a few weeks ago and then travel overseas to convert it to cash to buy gold and discover bitcoin crashed from 2900 down to 2000. Then panicking and converting immediately to close your gold buy fearing further fall. You just  lost a shit pile. This is not even my biggest complaint. My biggest complaint is the talk that its a buy and hold store of wealth. You’ve got to be kidding me. This is the ultimate NOTHING BURGER! Could Bitcoin be worth 10K next year? Sure…..but it could be worth ZERO too. You might not be allowed through fiat law to even access it without penalty of a ten year prison sentence.

We’re hearing crickets in the summer. The deflated stackers are now selling their silver back to the dealers. The retail PM miner trade is finished. The fear of a global storm is no longer an issue. Trump is elected and the wicked witch is dead. Look out your window. Do you see the storm coming? I don’t. I don’t hear anything. Its all good.
