Really glad I shorted NVDA. At least I'm short something here. Too bad I didn't short banks on Friday, FAZ is +10%
 
Banks failing and sky high inflation.

Not a very promising outlook for the near future of the world economy.
Beware the ides of March, indeed.

I'd heard the rumour a couple of months back that Spring 2023 would be when there would be a massive currency crisis, resulting in the rapid deployment of CDBC systems as a gateway back to stability.. for a price (our freedom). Even if the rumour isn't true, something is going to give sooner rather than later. We can't keep grinding the public with ever increasing costs, eventually either people will snap or there will be a collapse anyway.
 
Somehow markets are in the green. I don't know how. SCHW Schwab bank is $90B and down another 18% and a lot of other banks are down a lot but the markets are green. Plunge Protection Team maybe

The western world has been in a massive credit crisis for years now. The COVID lockdowns were part of the reset for that. The latest bank bailouts will be the next aspect.

I don't see how CBDCs can save us from bad investing decisions and crooked economic manipulation.
 
The market is insane. I expect it of crypto, but it just makes no sense lately. Meta announces it's laying off an additional 11,000 employees (after 10,000 not long ago), and its stock goes up 7% in a day. Madness.

It'll likely get worse. This was just a bounce for bank stocks imo. Maybe I'm wrong. In the post below he means "since 2008" not "in 2008". Yield curves are inverted which means a recession soon. If you remember the TARP bailouts in 2008, these new bailouts possibly mean similar

 
"Fugayzi, fugazi. It's a whazy. It's a woozie. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's never landed. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not real."
 
Oil down 7% today. 76 yesterday morning and 66 today. Lowest price since late 2021. Bring on the recession
