And now you've explained why we need a world war to give the proles a common enemy that is NOT the US government.

Well....several of those insider trading posts were dated a year ago. And insiders have to give several months notice that they are selling. The only thing I know for sure is that nothing is as it seems. Question everything and stay calm, is my MO.

The prole outsiders NEVER know what the insiders are doing until long after they have already done their trades.

Plan “now” or pay big time later !!!

Everyone needs to consider making a plan that will be best for them and their families.

One thing is for certain, at least in my mind, the old plan is not going to ever work again !!!

It's being kept artificially high mainly because of pensions, all superannuation funds worldwide are heavily invested in it and with the baby boomers coming through in a ten year block think of the carnage. I think they're waiting for their digital currency to come on line before the kill off the stock exchange and the banks. They have kept the stock exchange buoyant by corporate buy back and the plunge protection team.

You only have to look at what is already happening to bond yields in all major currencies right now: bond yields are rising (not falling) quite sharply. This will inevitably lead to a currency crisis and a credit collapse - probably worse than 1929. In my opinion, gold and silver bullion (and not ETFs) are the only safe haven.

And I expect it to go even higher. Before 2008 and Ben Bernanke, there were no Fed bailouts. Now if the market sniffs a 15% correction, the media and politicians are in full blown panic mode and the Fed is talking quantitative easing and emergency rate cuts. Everyone knows in an emergency situation government will bail out the stock market and certainly key “too big to fail” enterprises.

The shiller PE is not as good as a metric anymore, us companies are increasingly operating in foreign lands. To obtain a better number use the total world gdp, then numbers dont look that scary. Also what has to be said is that during the great depression the us had the gold standard and had a complety different look at recessions, letting a lot of banks go bust, something we approach differently today.

Our financial system has changed, it is probably not bulletproof, but the far past is simply not our best guide anymore as we got wiser.

“For context, all of these insider sales still only represent a small percentage of their total stock holdings.”

I am glad you mentioned this because most of these people have billions in their company stock. PLTR and NVDA have growth and demand going for them although they do have very high valuations. What I don’t hear anyone talking about are the companies with high stock prices and still don’t have positive earnings.

Most people aren't paying attention to the bond market which is WAY more important than the Wall Street casino. US debt buyers are drying up, so the only last resort bond buyer will be the FED as before, until that game collapses too.

The bond markets will collapse first, and take everything else down with it. Wait and see.
