COVID-19 turning out to be huge hoax perpetrated by media

Media hyped the virus and alarmed Americans to the point of shutting down the economy
When the postmortem is done on the media’s coverage of COVID-19 (and it will be), it will be clear that the virus was no Black Plague — it’s not even the flu on a bad year. 
As the coronavirus swept across China, then Europe — then everywhere — the U.S. media breathlessly reported every terrifying number, almost gleefully. Their ratings soared, of course, as they scared the hell out of every American, many of whom have stayed home for the last 40 days, emerging only to buy toilet paper, but even then clad in masks and tiptoeing in fear.
DYI:  Obviously we will not receive the complete truth from the main stream press to the likes of the Washington Times.  However they are gracing us with a little truth when it comes to this massive HOAX all for multiple economic and political agendas.
 
WHY?? 

It is my opinion that the elites are NOT in complete agreement with this operation.  They are in so much disagreement it is becoming easier to see what U.S. government agencies the two opposing sides control.  I’ve labeled these forces – Old Guard [Oil & Gas, Industrialist] and The Upstarts [World Wide Super Banks] – the Old Guard controls the CIA, FBI, and Army Intelligence.  The Upstarts control the vast Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Center for Disease Control plus the World Health Organization (WHO).  The main stream media typically sides with the Old Guard as they have been controlled (willfully) by the CIA for decades.


The Old Guard knows that if the rip offs keep on coming at light speed they will kill of the goose that lays the golden eggs which of course is all of us.  By letting out some of the truth they are hoping to let some of the gas out of this psychological operation.  Over the days and weeks ahead I expect to see more of these to be spilled out.

There are of course other world wide organizations that are in the middle of this fight one of them is the United Nations – along with their controlling elites –  scheming for their new world order for power, control, and as always to steal as much money from their world wide subjects.  There is so much going on it would require a large sized book.  The best I can do is provide small insights as they come along plus pass links such as 153new.net [uncensored videos] or Miles Mathis who writes (pdf format) about current and past staged, faked, or hoaxed events.

Covid 19
HOAX
THE RUSH FOR THE VACCINE
LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP!

DYI:  The chart below is our multi-health agencies created categories for the severity of infectious diseases.  Despite all of our State Governors ability to criminally hype the numbers they have only been able to fake their way to Category Level 2!  So why all the lock downs, face masks [they are totally ineffective for virus’] along with their BS 6 feet rule.  And by the way it appears they are setting us up in September for another round of lock downs.  Apparently big business needs less competition from small Mom and Pop stores! 


Dominic Remaro on Twitter: "For context folks... say hello to the ...

1977: McKinlay & McKinlay: The most famous study you’ve never heard of!

It won’t be the world’s easiest read, but I hope you take the time to read every word. In 1977, Boston University epidemiologists (and husband and wife) John and Sonja McKinlay published the seminal work on the role vaccines (and other medical interventions) played in the massive decline in mortality seen in the twentieth century, that 74% number I talked about in my opening paragraph. Not only that, but their study warned against the very behavior we are now seeing in the world of vaccines. Namely, they warned that a group of profiteers might take more credit for the results of an intervention (vaccines) than the intervention deserves, and then use those fake results to create a world where their product must be used by everyone. Seriously, they predicted that this would happen. (It’s worth noting that the McKinlay Study used to be required reading at every medical school.)

Here are some of the major points their paper made:
  • 92.3% of the mortality rate decline happened between 1900 and 1950 [before most vaccines existed]
  • Medical measures “appear to have contributed little to the overall decline in mortality in the United States since about 1900–having in many instances been introduced several decades after a marked decline had already set in and having no detectable influence in most instances.”
And, here’s the two doozies…
The paper makes two points that I really want to highlight, because they are so important. The first one concerns vaccines. They write:
“Even if it were assumed that this change was entirely due to the vaccines, then only about one percent of the decline following interventions for the diseases considered here could be attributed to medical measures. Rather more conservatively, if we attribute some of the subsequent fall in the death rates for pneumonia, influenza, whooping cough, and diphtheria to medical measures, then perhaps 3.5 percent of the fall in the overall death rate can be explained through medical intervention in the major infectious diseases considered here. Indeed, given that it is precisely for these diseases that medicine claims most success in lowering mortality, 3.5 percent probably represents a reasonable upper-limit estimate of the total contribution of medical measures to the decline in mortality in the United States since 1900.”
 In plain English: of the total decline in mortality since 1900, that 74% number I keep mentioning, vaccines (and other medical interventions like antibiotics) were responsible for somewhere between 1% and 3.5% of that decline. Said differently, at least 96.5% of the decline (and likely more than that since their numbers included ALL medical interventions, not ONLY vaccines) had nothing to do with vaccines.


You don’t get to say you saved humanity if, at most, you were responsible for 3.5% of the decline in mortality rates since 1900 (and probably closer to 1%).
And then the McKinlay’s wrote something that made me laugh out loud, because it’s the thing we are seeing every day in today’s vaccine-hyped world:
“It is not uncommon today for biotechnological knowledge and specific medical interventions to be invoked as the major reason for most of the modern (twentieth century) decline in mortality. Responsibility for this decline is often claimed by, or ascribed to, the present-day major beneficiaries of this prevailing explanation.”

2000: the CDC puts the final nail in the coffin:

In 1970, Dr. Kass raised the idea that public health officials need to be careful to not give the wrong things credit for the twentieth century’s massive mortality rate decline in the developed world. In 1977, Drs. McKinlay & McKinlay put data around Dr. Kass’ ideas, and showed that vaccines (and other medical interventions) were responsible for between 1-3.5% of the total decline in mortality since 1900. In 2000, CDC scientists reconfirmed all this data, but also provided more insight into the things that actually have led to declines in mortality.
“Thus vaccination does not account for the impressive declines in mortality seen in the first half of the century…nearly 90% of the decline in infectious disease mortality among US children occurred before 1940, when few antibiotics or vaccine were available.”
The study went on to explain the things that actually were responsible for a massive decline in mortality:

“water treatment, food safety, organized solid waste disposal, and public education about hygienic practices.” Also, “improvements in crowding in US cities” played a major role. Clean water. Safe food. Nutrition. Plumbing. Hygiene. These were the primary reasons mortality declined so precipitously. At least according to the data and published science.

Image result for infectious diseases mortality chart pictures

 DYI:  Right from CDC’s web site and chart in 1996 before they got into bed with big pharma admitting the huge fall off of infectious diseases was the result primarily from clean drinking water.  Wide spread use of vaccines didn’t begin until the early 1950’s with the introduction of the polio vaccine.  Not until the 1960’s vaccines were used by the public on a widespread basis; by that time infectious diseases had already been reduced years earlier by a significant degree 96% plus through public health infrastructure. 

Any health professional who states that taming of those diseases was/is from vaccines is either grossly misinformed of the U.S. experience [thus not professional] or simply fabricating the effectiveness of vaccines upon the American example.

Why the truth matters

As McKinlay and McKinlay warned, if the wrong intervention (like vaccines) is singled out as the reason Americans and the rest of the first world experienced such a dramatic decrease in mortality in the 20th century, that misinformation can be abused to do things like:
  • Rapidly expanding the number of vaccines given to children
  • Browbeating parents who chose to follow a different vaccine schedule and making them feel guilty
  • Making vaccines mandatory
  • Speaking about vaccines in such reverential terms that even questioning them (like I’m doing in this article) is viewed as sacrilegious and irresponsible.
  • And, denying that vaccines injuries happen at high rates, to keep the whole machine moving in the right direction. (By the way, the best guess of vaccine injury rate is about 2% of people who receive vaccines, according to this study commissioned and paid for by the CDC when they actually automated the tracking of vaccine injuries. The “one in a million” figure thrown around by vaccine promoters is simply an unsupportable lie.)

Deflationary Smash!
Coming to a Country Near You!
Unprecedented Recession Synchronization And What It Means
Considering the depth of the decline in global GDP, the massive debt accumulation by all countries, the collapse in world trade and the synchronous nature of the contracting world economies the task of closing this output gap will be extremely difficult and time consuming.  
This situation could easily cause aggregate prices to fall, thus putting persistent downward pressure on inflation which will be reflected in declining long dated U.S. government bond yields (30 year Treasury bonds).

DYI:  When this deflationary smash hits interest rates as measured by he U.S. 10 year Treasury bond will go negative!  Long dated Treasury bonds will fly upward with current yields nose diving back into the sub atomic range.  DYI’s bond formula – designed for compounding investors – has had a zero commitment to long dated bonds for several years and rightfully so.  Simply put for the compounding investor there is no sauce for the goose as in zero real growth of your dollars.  Don’t lose hope as DYI works through 3 major asset categories, stocks, long dated high quality bonds, precious metals – gold & silver – along with their respective mining company’s shares.  Cash – [short dated bills & notes] is our default or warm up pen for future deployment into our major three assets just mentioned.  Below is how DYI's asset categories [updated monthly] measure currently.

World
Tuberculosis Day
24 March 2020
Now ask yourself, how will they produce an umbrella vaccine for this most terrible disease in a few months, or a year, when 4,000 TB victims still die every day after 138 years?

On 24 March 2020, World Tuberculosis Day, the World Hell Organization (WHO?) reminded everyone that ‘actually, tuberculosis (TB) is the deadliest infectious disease in the world’.  

In 1882, when the bacteria that causes tuberculosis was first identified, TB was killing one out of every seven people living in the United States and Europe.
  • Today, in 2020, tuberculosis kills more people than any other infectious disease, according to the United Nations (UN).
  • More than 10 million people developed active tuberculosis disease in 2019.
  • Around 1.5 million people died from the bacterial infection in 2018 alone.
  • Over 4,000 people die of tuberculosis every day.
  • Tuberculosis is contagious. It is caused by bacteria that spread from person to person through microscopic droplets released into the air. This can happen when someone with the untreated, active form of tuberculosis coughs, speaks, sneezes, spits, laughs or sings.
  • The continued spread of drug-resistant forms of TB threatens to reverse the progress made against the epidemic over the last century.
  • To date, no umbrella vaccine for TB exists.

Latest
Infection Fatality Ratio, Overall†
Scenario 5:
Current Best Estimate
0.0065%
DYI:  Influenza mortality rate averages around 0.10% as compared to the latest figures – 0.0065% from the CDC for Covid 19.  As we all know, or should know, these statistical numbers for infection and death have and continue to be manufactured through massive statistical criminal fraud. 

Be as that may be the percentage difference between those two stats is 93.5% less mortality than the flu [I don’t believe their hyped (and neither should you) numbers for one minute!].  Where is the citizen push back?  Where are our – in the trenches General Practitioner Doctors who by now have to know this is a major HOAX of world wide biblical proportions.  Are Doctors working under duress threatened with dismissal or even possible sanctions along with the very possible loss of license to practice medicine?  I don’t know but I would not be surprised for one second if found to be practicing under duress.

What can I do?

Start sharing with relatives and friends of like minds 153news.net that has uncensored videos that has citizen journalists exposing this massive fraud and its implications.  Also of interest is Miles Mathis who has exposed and continues to do so stage faked events in America’s past and present along with why they have been done.  Once you have exhausted those of like minds then very politely attempt to show those who are on the fence that have hopefully an open mind.  Those who are completely programmed by the propaganda don’t waste your time and most importantly your energy.  No matter what you say even with cold hard facts you will never change their minds.

"Speculation funded by "money" conjured out of thin air--has reached a level of denial that can only be termed psychotic."
Charles Hugh Smith

Stock Market Crash 2020: Welcome To The End Game

If this chart doesn’t make you think the crash is coming soon, then probably nothing will:
Stock Market Crash 2020: Welcome To The End Game
The Nasdaq is on its final run and is going vertical, a classic end of bubble move. This is trader heaven and turns into speculator hell for those who think that markets do grow to the skies. It could go up a long way in price but it won’t go for long in time. It could last to Christmas, it could fold tomorrow, but my feeling is that unless this bubble is cut down by the Fed, the final move will be large and quick.
DYI:  It’s too late whether the Fed’s pop this bubble or this house of cards falls under its own weight this market will once again CRASH!  
The attempts by the government to pump up the economy with new money is resulting in it going straight into equities and straight into the tip of the equity spear, the giant high beta story stocks. This is a malfunction of the QE mechanism that supports asset prices and slowly trickles the benefits of this support down the pyramid of wealth. Now the game is up because the new money is going straight into this bubble of financial assets that are spiralling up out of control. 
If we now get a Nasdaq bull vertical that is the end of the chapter of the process, it will be followed by a devastating crash as everyone dashes to the exit in a blaze of wealth destruction.

Welcome to the Crazed, Frantic Demise of Finance Capitalism

When scams start unraveling, the scammers become increasingly frantic to maintain the illusion of legitimacy and the delusion of guaranteed gains that are the lifeblood of every scam. One sure sign that the flim-flam is about to collapse is the manic rise of FOMO, fear of missing out, as the scammers jam the Ponzi scheme's stellar returns to new extremes. 
How did outright fraud come to dominate our economy? The answer is simple: infinite greed plus the decline of gains from "real capitalism," i.e. increasing productivity via producing goods and services. 
The appeal of something for nothing is irresistible when "money" can be printed / borrowed out of thin air and used to run a fraud that exploits human greed. 
 Like every good Ponzi scheme, those invested in the scam promote the fraud and cajole new marks to sink their cash into the "guaranteed gains" scheme because everyone already in the fraud will lose if there aren't enough new marks joining to keep it from collapsing. That perfectly describes the entire financial media, the financial "industry" and everyone in it.
The cognitive dissonance required to ignore the widening gap between the real economy and the fraud's basic machinery;—Speculation funded by "money" conjured out of thin air--has reached a level of denial that can only be termed psychotic.
DYI:  How far down percentage wise could this market drop?  With valuations at these extremes a decline of 65% to 80% [may take 2 or more cycles to complete] is very possible.

Eventually this market will leave its double secular top and over as long as a decade of time move to a secular low with the market under Shiller PE of 10!  I call this THE GREAT UNWINDING!

Truth Machine!
These people no longer skim. 
They have dug their spoons deeper and deeper into the cream, taking the majority of it and leaving us only the watery milk at the bottom. 
 US National Debt Spiked by $1.5 trillion in 6 Weeks, to $25 ...
DYI:  The elites enjoy budget deficits since they own the majority of the shares of the super banks who are largest purchasers of the debt.  Our tax dollars are obviously used to service that debt.  What is not so obvious to the American public the elites – on a de facto basis – are taxing the American public for their personal gain.  AND the initial burst of spending – stimulus spending, bailouts, bogus military spending etc. – is enjoyed by the elites who once again own the majority of the shares of those companies.  Create a FAKE CRISES then bilk the American public’s tax dollars for generations to come!      
Only the fact that productivity is so fantastically high allows us not to live like peasants (at least in the first world).
DYI:  There two main reasons for our high productivity our constitution and geography.   The constitution has provided an excellent platform for private enterprise to flourish.  Obviously it has been under attack with the latest round of governors acting as kings or dictators attempting to write law using or should say abusing executive orders.
 
The principal portion of North America that resides the United States has such fantastic geography Americans would be destined with a high standard of living.  For complete understanding I would suggest the book written by Peter Zeihan called The Accidental Super Power.  Our country of seemingly unstoppable wealth puts a bull’s eye on the U.S. unfortunately for high powered looters and scam artist as exampled by current looter/scammer Bill Gates [along with a host of many others as well].     
Until recently, the dregs in the US and Europe were still fairly sweet, and the rulers found that stability was easiest to maintain by keeping them that way. 
But in the past fifty years that has changed ever more rapidly, as the greed of the rulers has accelerated dramatically. 
Due to their control of the media, they believe they can maintain stability despite growing levels of theft, so they are testing that theory. 
They appear to want to calculate exactly how far they can push this equation. The usual cost/benefit analysis. They want to see how much they can treat us like peasants before we start acting like peasants. 
That is to say, how much can they steal from us before we become so dejected we stop working and productivity takes a huge dive. 
I really don't think they wish to go back to the old forms, because they have generated far more wealth this way. You can't steal much from slaves or peasants, because they don't have anything. You can't tax slaves or peasants. Once you have taken all the land and minerals, your wealth has peaked. But with a productive populace, you can steal a large part of that product, you see.
 Price Changes Over the Last 20 Years Prove the Economy is Rigged
The current test, with Covid, is precisely that test. It is a psychological test of our current slave mentality. 
Creating a maximally productive slave is a tricky thing. 
To start with, we the people have to believe we are not slaves. We have to believe that “all men are created equal”, which is why Jefferson put that in his document—though he obviously didn't believe it. We have to believe that we will share in the fruits of society, both financially and spiritually. Hence, the “Life, Liberty, and pursuit of Happiness” clause. Productive slaves have to be convinced they are happy, which is why the media used to spend so much time driving that home. This was the main line of propaganda until recently. Think of the 1950s, when the manufactured satisfaction of the middle class was job one. Almost all entertainment was geared toward a chirpy idyll of the Mayberry sort, or later of the Waltons or Little House on the Prairie sort.

But a certain group among the rulers came up with a big secondary project in the 1980s, to make people unhappy on purpose. They wished to split the sexes for profit. This misery would create a market for new products, including drugs and other healthcare, porn, beauty products, body alteration, and so on, while also de-masculating men. This, they thought, would lower the threat of revolution.
DYI:  The elites who have control of our intelligence services – CIA, Army Intelligence, Department of Homeland Security etc. – along with a willingly controlled main stream press have had a non stop projects all designed to make vast portions of our citizens miserable thus increasing their spending significantly attempting to mitigate their unhappiness.  One of the biggest and most successful psychological operation designed to strike fear into women that all men are pigs was the staged faked nobody died O.J. Simpson affair.  Spend time reading Miles Mathis’ reports or for videos seen on the non censored platform 153news.net.        
However, as you can see, the two projects are contradictory. The secondary project conflicts with the primary project, doesn't it? Miserable slaves may at first spend more money compensating for their misery, but eventually they are going to admit to themselves they are miserable. At that point, they realize they are slaves. They become dejected and stop working and productivity plummets. The main scheme has just been short-circuited by poor planning. 
Therefore, I would say it isn't just the populace of sheep that needs to wake up. It is the top Phoenician rulers who need to wake up and realize their whole scheme is unwinding. This secondary project of created misery, though perhaps profitable in the short term, is fatal to their long term plans.
DYI:  In my judgment – I have no way of proving – the elites are fighting.  The Old Guard controls the CIA** [and their other assorted agencies FBI, etc.] AND the Upstarts who control DHS/FEMA* [plus their other agencies Secret Service etc.] is battling with the Old Guard attempting to stop or at least slow down their short term scam/looting mentality.  
It is certainly fatal to the Declaration of Independence, which was a good plan of control. Its true intent was well hidden and it fooled we the people for a long time. Many of us thought we were free and happy, which his why things progressed so quickly for the rulers. We were a captive audience. The rise of Hollywood made it even easier, since that sold the propaganda like nothing before. But the huge propaganda successes of the 1960s and 70s made the rulers giddy, and they wanted more. They played a tune that worked, and so they have turned up the volume more and more since then. But what they have missed is that what sounds sweet at 60 decibels, say, sounds like pain at 150 decibels. It causes madness in the DJ as well as the audience. 
They have also missed this subtlety: the 1950s were one big lie, yes, but they were not yet a vicious and insane lie. It was the lie of Mr. Ed and Kukla Fran and Ollie and Mayberry and Strangers in the Night and Moon River. It was a dreamy and pacifying lie, while the lie now is a shattering nightmare. The lie of Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad and Dexter and Sandy Hook and Columbine and gangster rap and Django Unchained and John Wick. Yes, that sells anti-depressants out the wazoo, but what else does it do? It begs an empire-ending collapse of Biblical proportions, a Sodom and Gomorrah outcome where rich people end up as pillars of salt. You and I would love to see that, but I don't think that is what the desired endgame is for them.

The Phoenician Navy will no doubt reply they have climbed out above the possibility of a major reversal. They have fine-tuned their methods. They have contingency plans in place. They have covered all their bases. They have built walls to prevent any flood. All famous last words. For myself, the only contingency plan I see that might be successful at this point is a slow reversal, like when you cross the path of a rattlesnake or a shark. 
I also remind you of this sentence in the Declaration of Independence: 
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. 
The Declaration, being a sort of Preface to the Constitution, states that one of our unalienable rights is to abolish a destructive form of government. Which means, legally, that any court trying any person or group for sedition or treason, would have to prove the current government was NOT destructive of those ends (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, among others). Do you think any lawyer could prove that to a jury these days? I don't. Any educated jury should know by now that its own government, and the people who own and run it, are making us the people unhappy and fearful on purpose, in order to profit from our misery and fear and to use it to control us. 
 I used to think that separation of church and state was a good idea, but I have changed my mind. Not because I became a Christian, which I didn't. I haven't been to church since I was about 15, and I don't miss it. No, I changed my mind because I came to understand why the Founding Fathers were pushing this. They weren't pushing it to guarantee your right to worship as you choose, though that is the line they sell you. They were pushing it because they were deeply and profoundly irreligious themselves, and wanted to govern and trade without any interference from Christian rules against usury, or other rules of conduct. They wished to destroy worship altogether, because it competed with them. The church competed with their ability to tax. The church competed with their ability to propagandize. And the church competed with their ability to control. That has become clearer through the decades and centuries, and should be crystal clear now, when the descendants of these people are just shutting down churches by fiat. One of the most illogical and unConstitutional of the current executive orders promulgated by state governors has been the closing of all houses of worship. Let me just ask you this: if church and state are truly separate, then how can the state close all churches? Shouldn't churches, being separate, be able to make their own rules? If the church can no longer influence the state, why should the state influence the church? The governors are simply using a fake crisis to do everything they ever wanted to do, and one of the things they most wanted to do is shut down churches. That should tell you who we are dealing with.
So the Constitutional clauses about religion never had much to do with your right to worship. They had to do with your right NOT to worship, you see. That subtlety was always fairly well hidden in regard to the Constitution, I admit, but if you look closely at the Founding Fathers, their lives, and their writings, you see this is true. And if you look at the history of the US from a bird's eye, including not only the original projects like the founding documents, but also later projects like the Theosophy project, Marxism, Humanism, Atheism, and Transhumanism, the greater motion becomes clear.

Ending the Lockdowns!

ON WEARING MASKS AND OTHER ILLEGAL ORDERS: I am recommending hiring attorneys to everyone now. There are a million easy lawsuits just waiting to be won, and possibly some serious money to be taken. Class action or single. Line up a lawyer first, then get arrested on purpose at the store of your choice, preferably a food market, spend a few hours in jail, then sue the store, the police dept, the city, and the state for Civil Rights violations, malice, pain and suffering, attempted starvation, harassment and court costs. If you are a good debater, represent yourself. 
Courts in several states have already ruled these executive orders are null and void [including the Supreme Court of Wisconsin and a Circuit Court in Illinois], so you have precedent. 
The only thing that is going to end this madness is the filing of hundreds of thousands of these lawsuits. 
Once enough are filed, the US Supreme Court will be forced to hear one of these cases, and it will all be history. You might even make the history books.
Trying to make laws via executive orders is highly illegal and unConstitutional, even when an emergency has been declared. Executive orders are legal only for the first two weeks of a crisis, after which the state or national legislature is supposed to pass laws either backing up the executive orders or striking them down. This is because laws have to be passed by legislatures, which were created for that purpose. Presidents and Governors don't make laws, they execute them. Meaning, they make sure the laws are enforced. But the people who own the world don't like obeying these rules, since it is easier for them to rule you via the executive branch. There are far fewer people involved, hence fewer people to pay off, and you don't need to worry about majorities. If you rule through a governor you just rule by fiat. Meaning, you rule by just saying it. No legislatures have to meet and vote on it.
More limited lawsuits have also been filed by churches, gun shops, and other businesses and individuals, and in many instances the courts have ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. Meaning, the judges have agreed that governors are far overstepping their authority in closing businesses, locking people down, and interfering with people's Constitutional rights to assembly and trade. More and more lawsuits are being filed by the day (though still not enough). 
You may also tell your friend that sheriff's departments all over the country are refusing to enforce their governors' orders, knowing they are unConstitutional. 
Many police departments are doing the same. Some are quietly refusing to enforce, while others are admitting it openly, but it is happening nationwide. The rare times these orders are being enforced is by State Police, and we may assume they are owned by the same people making the orders. State Police are also more tightly linked to FBI and CIA, so State Police are under far more pressure to play along. 
In addition, many practicing doctors and nurses are going public, the least bold admitting that facemasks are not only unnecessary, but detrimental to health; 
and the most bold admitting that Covid numbers are being finessed, fudged, or totally manufactured.
This sort of rule is too close to monarchy. If you are going to rule that way, you might as well just have Kings and forget about legislatures. Which is why the US created the Constitution in the first place. Early citizens were tired of being pushed around by Kings. They preferred to elect people to represent them, which is why we call the elected legislators representatives.

Saying that extreme stock market valuations are “justified” by low interest rates is like saying that poking yourself in the eye is “justified” by smashing your thumb with a hammer. 
Worse, by our estimates, the likely 10-year total return of the S&P 500 from current valuations is about -1.4% annually. 
Specifically, I continue to expect the S&P 500 to lose about two-thirds of its value. 
Even a 50% market retreat would bring valuations only to levels matching the 2002 low, which was the highest valuation level ever observed at the completion of a market cycle. 
Back to our $100 example. Suppose you buy the piece of paper for $68, and overnight, investors suddenly become willing to pay $100 for it. Well, instead of your 4% return occurring over 10 years, as you wait for your $100 payment, you’ll instead accrue an unexpectedly large return all at once. 
Of course, since the price is now $100, you’ll ultimately get nothing additional for continuing to hold. 
The sudden spike in the price has compressed your entire long-term expected return into an overnight windfall. Simultaneously, the new, higher valuation of $100 ensures that your future return will be zero.
DYI:  Stocks once again – [except for oil & gas plus precious metals mining companies] are “jacked up” with valuations sky high (see chart below) thus having future returns especially over the next ten years at best will be zero at worst after inflation negative 3% to 5% average annual return.  To understand this return envision yourself buying stocks (or holding stocks you previously bought) wholesale [Index fund, generalized stock etc.] going to sleep like Rip Van Winkle waking 10 years from now looking at your account only to see 0% or negative return.  Ouch!   
Wilshire 5000 Version

DYI:  When your 401k provider has their dog and pony show for employees they always stress investing for the long haul.  As the 30 year return chart below so aptly illustrates valuation whether high or low will alter your return significantly.  Today we are in an environment of massive overvaluation as 30 year returns for money invested today or previously bought waking in the year 2050 with a real return (after inflation) highly likely around 2%!  Ouch again!  So much for the grand retirement with Alpo served as the main course!  
 
DYI:  To be blunt with valuations sky high it is a terrible time to purchase stocks across the board such as an S&P 500 index fund or generalized manage stock fund so common in 401k’s.  Unless your providers have specialty funds [energy or precious metals mining] in your basket of fund choices you are far better off buying their short term bond funds.

Monday, July 13, 2020

For the entire rest of the stock market – all its winners and losers combined – minus the “Giant 5,” the period since January 2018 was a very rough and unpleasant ride to nowhere. It declined 1%. You would have been better off putting your money in one of those despicable freaking savings accounts:

“Wild Ride to Nowhere”: 

APPL, MSFT, AMZN, GOOG, FB Soar to New High. Rest of Stock Market is a Dud, Has Been for Years

Subtrack the “Giant 5” and the US Stock Market Hasn't Made Gains ...


Investors encounter 'a terrifying, out-of-whack' circumstance ...

Subtrack the “Giant 5” and the US Stock Market Hasn’t Made Gains Since January 2018

Among the losers in that rest of the market are companies that used to be the largest in the US stock market, such as Exxon-Mobile, which since January 26, 2018, has lost 48% of its value. The entire and once vast oil-and-gas sector has gotten crushed. 
The market, and broad portfolios, are immensely dependent on the Giant 5. That was great on the way up – on their way to becoming giants, when their share of the overall market doubled in three-and-a-half years, from 10% in January 2017 to nearly 20% today. 
But if they sell off – there are myriad reasons why giants sell off, as all prior giants have found out – the impact of these five companies is going to be proportional to their giant size.

DYI:  While stocks on a broad basis continue their ongoing bear market there is one sector that I’ve mentioned many times before; OIL!  When an investment class appears to be terminally ill as illustrated by Vanguard’s Energy Fund symbol VGENX average annual return for the last ten years is – drum roll please – negative -0.66%!  This is not a jab at Vanguard, all energy funds have had dismal returns over the last 10 years.  However this industry – despite all of the rhetoric – is NOT going into the dustbin of history.  Contrarian thinkers know that nothing is forever; energy companies’ stock prices are at bargain prices.  Vanguard’s energy fund current yield – 4.81% - is typical of many other energy based mutual funds.

Since the Year 2000
From High to Low - Since Year 2000


+ 521.7% Gold
208.1% Transports
170.9% Utilities
+ 124.5% Dow
+ 147.2% Nasdaq
+ 111.0S&P 500
+  78.4% 30yr Treasury Bonds
+  66.7% Swiss Franc's
+  53.4% Oil 

Easily seen the price of oil compared to these vastly different asset categories has now reached the bottom.  Dollar cost averaging would be the recommended way to go if you have this asset category in your 401k.  If not go to Vanguard – or any fund group of your choice – and begin purchasing shares directly.
Till Next Time
