JUST IN: Louisiana’s Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards has reversed the state’s student vaccine mandate.
This decision came after Louisiana’s Attorney General sued Edwards to block the mandate for schools and colleges.
The lesson: put pressure on our elected officials.

... making it that much more painful for young families who are driving all over town to six stores to find specialized baby formula (someone at my work said a family member did that today.)

This will become a runaway freight train. They cant stop it any longer. They’ve lost control.
Soon, ALL of America will know the TRUTH about #spygate & subsequent #FISAabuse & sedition against a duly elected US President.

Just curious - was it Putin or Biden who just shut down over a million acres of oil leases?
Was it Putin or Biden's FDA that shut down a major producer of baby formula and kept it shut for many months after the reason for shutting it down was proven false?
How, oh how, will the regime shift blame to Putin for these ones?

Former FBI General Counsel & current Twitter legal officer James Baker perjured himself in Federal Court under oath, testifying in the Sussman trial.
This may end up being a little long winded (when am I not!?!?), but I want to take people down a brief walk & talk about how & why the stock market is currently fooked.
May be good to understand, as millions of Americans have their retirement very highly correlated to the market, and we are entering a sea change in investing protocols that many have not seen in a long time, if ever.
The idea for this talk came from a convo with my 11 year old. I brought up teaching him a very in depth set of lessons about the stock market, and his response was, "yeah dad, I know all about the stock market."
Me: "ok son, how does the stock market work?"
Him:"if people buy stocks, the price goes up. When they sell, it goes down."
Here's the thing - he was right if we were discussing the original idea and imementation of the stock market, but not what it is today.
Today it is especially counterintuitive, and runs very differently than originally planned, especially right now.
The original idea for the stock market was so that average Americans could participate in investing in companies, and make money as the American economy grew.
Average, everyday people.
The world that we're in right now has 90% of trading done by computers, wall street hiring MIT grads & others who would've gone to NASA in a previous time to build those trading algos, and an entire industry of smooth brained people building investment vehicles that the average American can neither access, understand, nor participate in.
Furthermore, the vast majority of price action & movement happens in the after hours market, again where the average person has no access or ability to trade.
We have recently entered a time where options trading has outpaced actual stock trading, and it is causing some pretty wild swings.
There is a component of the stock market called the VIX - the Volatility Index.
It's purpose is to measure volatility in the market, but every honest, seasoned trader (there are a few of us) will tell you that we are and have been "under vixxed" for quite some time.
What does this mean?
If you overlay the VIX chart over the S&P500 chart (SPX), you will find that they are typically nearly exactly inversely correlated.
When one goes up, the other goes down and Vice versa.
The issue is that, while our current price action the VIX should be in the 40s by any honest estimate, yet it has been "stuck" between the 20s & 30s all year.
If you look at the chart from Friday along with some other macro indicators, you can clearly see that VIX is behaving extremely abnormally.
The "fear & Greed index" has been pegged at "extreme fear" for over a week.
Friday saw the price in the S&P500 drop nearly 100 pts from open to one hour before close, yet the VIX barely moved up, despite pretty extreme volatility.
All of the honest brokers know the market is going down. All macro fundamentals show the market is going down.
But because of the VIX being manipulated, we keep seeing these massive "rallies" come out of nowhere.
In the last hour of trading Friday, the VIX that hardly ticked up as price plummeted 100pts during the day, suddenly precipitously dropped and led to what is called a "Vanna Rally," an event that is caused in a low volume (buying & selling) environment in which VIX drops and the price skyrockets suddenly.
I'm not going to bore you with the intricacies of what Vanna Rallies are, but there are a few extremely important points that you should know in regards to your retirement savings.
Firstly, despite the massive sell-off in the market, I saw push notifications go out via the financial platforms saying that "the market ends flat!" and that there was a "massive rally into the close!."
Again, remember, these Vanna rallies are NOT the product of buying, as my son (and many who received these notifications) may be keen to believe.
Many financial pundits have already started claiming that the bottom is in, and you should buy the dip.
DO NOT DO THIS!!!
We are in an inflationary bear market, and there is A LOT more downside to come.

We are in an inflationary bear market, and there is A LOT more downside to come.
We are currently in a paradox in the market.
These Vanna Rallies come out of nowhere (and cause a lot of underlying damage to the market structure (supply & demand levels)) because we are in a historically low volume environment.
We are in a historically low volume environment because traders & investors know the trajectory of the market is down, but these Vanna Rallies come out of nowhere to absolutely wreck those holding short positions or puts.
So, rather than continue to get walloped, more and more people are choosing to take their money completely out of the market, including big firms who can.
I mentioned the original intent of the market because many market eggheads will tell you that "VIX is working just the way it should."
But it's causing the stock market to work in a way that is contrary to its original intent.
Just like the complex derivatives market led to the housing crisis in 2008, the options being traded against the VIX are causing it to react unnaturally, which created chaos and abnormal events throughout the entire market.
Which has a greater (negative) effect on the entire economy.
Consider this a warning on par with someone warning you in 2007 that there would be a massive crisis that started in the real estate market.
*note: a few people did warn, but nobody wanted to listen because times were too good.
This is your final warning. Friday's EOD Vanna Rally may lead to an up day or two starting next week, but then it is going down, down, down.
I imagine at least we enter the 2000s on the S&P, which is over another thousand points down.
If you are invested in equities (stocks) in any way, go to cash. As soon as possible.
This is not financial advice, just a warning from your friendly neighborhood options trader & former financial advisor.

I've listened to this interview a half dozen times now and I take away something different every time.
Sometimes you hear or meet someone so intelligent and/or with such deep expertise on a subject that it takes several attempts to catch up - that's Mike Green of Logica Advisors and his deep explanation of modern markets - the good, bad ugly, what needs be changed & how, plus how to take advantage of current arbitrage opportunities.
I know I'm going heavy into Financials & investing a lot on a channel that you likely did not follow for such things, but I'm trying to impress upon people the financial cataclysm that may be upon us.
That cataclysm will also present a buying opportunity that will not be seen again in any of our lifetimes.
So take the time to get smart now, so you can take advantage of it when it happens to build generational wealth for your families.

The End Game Ep. 3 - Mike Green - Grant Williams
Bill and Grant welcome a towering intellect in the shape of Mike Green of Logica Advisors, to discuss the role passive investing may have to play in The End Game. What follows is a good old-fashioned schooling, as Mike outlines the genesis of his work on…
If you're listening to any regime mouthpiece or financial pundit talking about whether massive money printing has anything to do with our current runaway inflation, if they say anything other than "OF FUCKING COURSE IT DOES!!!" that person is lying to you.
