We watch the collapse of late stage capitalism in real time

How much of all stock gains this year have been an inflationary mirage? Over valuations to be sure, but such has been the same song and dance since 2007. :clown_face:

I cannot stand all this winning. :joy: :clown_face:

And the Christmas market euphoria has finally arrived which means I am not expecting any huge losses for the rest of the month.

That’s the thing about the Satan rally, oops, I meant to say the Santa rally where it completely distorts the economic market entirely with holiday sales euphoria. Very rare do you see any kind of market losses in the month of December unless it is at the end of the month going into the New Year.

[Like the years 2021, 2022, and 2023.]

What to expect in January of 2026?

The national unemployment rate, just how bad is it really?

Christmas sales? How bad was that in the previous month concerning the previous historical average? Will they try to polish a shit turd and tell us all that it is gold?

Inflationary pressures going into 2026, will be an extremely hot topic all of next year concerning our road to perdition of eventual hyperinflation or possible massive deflation.

[Dollar devaluations as well.]

Should be an extremely fun 2026 for American economic financial activity.

It’s Christmas and Hanukkah time! Nothing else matters!

All 2025 economic hangovers have been postponed to mid January 2026 until further notice!

Eat a fucking ginger bread cookie!

Now, contrast to 2007 and 2008 numbers.

Rumors from Japan in the coming week or two. I’ll believe it when I see it.

These central banks coordinate with each other all around the world so it would seem.

Hmm…

But will it amount to a hill of beans though?

One of these Decembers will be very much different from all of the previous ones, but which December will it be?

Is anybody going to get coal in their sock stockings this year?

Pulling out all the stops today with this roller coaster ride, right?

The atmosphere strikes me as one of fear, hesitation, doubt, and worry.

What could it be now?

:clown_face:

Geez, I hope the rest of December isn’t like this otherwise the real good times are going to start very early next year popping off.

You know it’s just bad when they can’t even squeeze out a little bit of profit in the month of December.

Hopefully this is just a fluke and nothing else, I am sure tomorrow the market will be in green along with the rest of this month, it’s Christmas after all, right?

Jensen Huang:

“And you see, we’re going to have the United States military subsidize the entire A.I. corporate tech industry with miniature nuclear power cores to generate electricity for our electronic data mass surveillance systems everywhere. Isn’t that neat?”

:clown_face:

My God, what kind of nightmarish fucking world is this?

“Bankruptcies of businesses are increasing everywhere all across the board. Stocks keep continuing to climb.”
