Response to dumbbell Biden.
Subtle Short
Selling naked calls is a subtle way to short in a bear market.
Burma
Why should the US get involved in the internal affairs of Myanmar (Burma)? Have they learned nothing in Washington?
Climate-Change Solution
The solution to the climate-change problem should focus on carbon extraction rather than suppression of the use of fossil fuels that remain so critical to our economies. The objective should be to reach an equilibrium between the amount of carbon put into the atmosphere by man-made activities and the amount removed from the atmosphere, so that the net difference is zero.
- There should be widespread and government-sponsored reforestation programs in every state in the United States as well as a ban on all wood burning, whether in homes or for generating fuel. Trees must be regarded as nearly sacred entities.
- There should be a similar widespread and government-sponsored soil enrichment program, so that arable land is allowed to restore itself at least every other year with natural vegetation, which naturally absorbs huge quantities of carbon if allowed to restore itself.
- New industrial technologies should be further developed for extraction of carbon and other greenhouse gases directly from the atmosphere, and done on a large enough scale to impact the critical equilibrium.
- There should be a carbon tax on plants that release carbon and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, so that these plants will need to quantify the amounts released and pay a tax on those amounts, which should induce them to either reduce the amounts released or seek an alternative to releasing them, i.e., trapping and solidifying the gases into solids that can be buried as an alternative, and thereby avoiding the carbon tax altogether.
The solution to the climate-change conundrum is EXTRACTION, not suppression.
A Little Joy
A little joy in these dark times…
Success?
Dems in charge destroy jobs and undermine the economy with their actions, and then call it a success. Nixing the Canadian pipeline costs 70k jobs. Raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour nation-wide means that many employers will simply cut the requisite number of jobs in order to protect their profit margins, particularly in states with a lower cost of living. In other words, more jobs destroyed because of unintended consequences. The Dems don’t care; they call this success.
We have lunatics in charge who do not consider the ramifications of their ideological actions. Hard times are coming…hard times for sure.
Taiwan?
Is Taiwan going to be the next world-wide black-swan event? China may consider Biden a weakling and act militarily against Taiwan. They may consider Biden’s election their opportunity to take back this troublesome island. It could be over in just a matter of days, should they act. But it would send shock waves around the world, and send all the stock markets into freefall. A successful invasion of the island by China might, in turn, prompt North Korea to act against South Korea. None of this would ever occur under Trump.
Stock Market
Now is the time to seriously reduce your exposure to the stock market. But when the music stops, it will be very difficult and expensive to do so. Don’t be a FOMO idiot.
Underwater?
Are you going to be underwater?
Expect More Crime with Biden
One reason why we will see an uptick in crime under Biden.
