Danger for the Elves

by

A stock market event we referred to as the “slaughter of the elves” took place a few years back.  2018, but that’s from memory, and with enough turkey in the bloodstream, recall is a bit fogged.

Still, desperate people (not wanting to leave office) and people who want to undercut whoever follows (ahem…) may be driven to desperate acts.

With markets setting a new record in our Aggregate Index it’s easy to make the case that we can keep rising forever.  Still, there’s this stuff called “gravity” and this other thing called financial reporting.  ‘ner the twain shall meet again?

Which gets us to noodling on what kind of month is will turn out to be.  A short cup’s worth though.  Don’t want to “slow your roll” in the click festival, right?

  3. According to Bloomberg Financial and Barclays- the U.S. literally beat the hell out of the rest of the world when looking at money-flow and stock market equity activity.
    The European Union had a YTD out-flow of money totaling $52.5 billion
    The U.K had a YTD out-flow of just over $23 billion
    Japan? an out-flow of around $13 billion
    The U.S. ? The equity in-flow of capital – YTD – is $404.7 billion. Over $109 billion in-flow since Trump was elected.
    In the twelve page report – there was not one mention of China., or Singapore.
    US large-caps are edging toward the best year versus the rest of the world since 1997.
    – Question: Is it even possible to have a recession with that kind of money flowing into the U.S. markets?
    – Well.., yes, it is possible – but it would take something very momentous and a possible run on the banks to slap aside that kind of money transferring into our markets.

    • “The European Union had a YTD out-flow of money totaling $52.5 billion.”

      Martin Armstrong has advised moving money out of Europe for quite some time.

      G.A. STEWART: Every news story that the conservative Alternative media loves to publish outside of NATO’s confrontation with Russia, pales in comparison to Nuclear War. The transsexual, LGBT, Climate Change, Progressive Liberal distractions are filler. They mean nothing. We are on the threshold of global destruction, mass death, and the collapse of modern civilization.

    • The Coming Capital Controls – 2024 WEC

      MARTIN ARMSTRONG: This report concerns the prospect of capital controls that governments routinely implement during periods of war to prevent capital flight. This also includes some other capital controls imposed for other reasons. It is a guide to what to expect from our claimed “representative” Republics that represent only the self-interest of those in power and never the population.

    • “IF” the Ukraine War expands look for a Tsunami Of Money to be trying to get out of Europe, all at the same time … so as ridiculous as it sounds the US Stock Market may actually GO UP due to the Capital flows if the European War expands.

      Interesting dynamic to contemplate since everyday common sense would be that the stock market should decline,

  4. “Target seems to be the latest company to discover economic reality:”

    Go to the mall today for nostalgia and while you’re there reflect and mediate on the long lines Circuit City had 15 years ago and where CC and the lines are today. CC was never woke, business changed. Same happened to Fry’s Electronics and they were online. Fry’s cited consumer habits changed. The only habit a consumer has is finding the lowest price. Bananas at Target are $0.25 each.

    Woke or no woke Target is an artifact from the old system and will end up in the dust bin with Sears, Kmart, Big Lots. What would induce anyone to go Targeting today Vs clicking Cyber Monday?

      • Back there G mentioned once $WMT starts delivering reasons to go into town dwindle. Trips to town will drop from once a week to once every six months for a dental check-up.

        There goes the town’s diner and other support businesses. This just to say that the woke, green haired waitstaff might catch the rap for wrecking the business, but there’s no longer a reason for the business.

      I give up, just fookin’ give up. Nobody wants to hear, so what’s the point in trying to tell them.

    feat: Bert

    Folks,
    The News Corp. subsidiary “Page Six” has kept leash on a story of Montecito neighbors to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in the shape of a former daytime talk show host and her wife. The Hollywood couple fled America to the UK as President Trump won the election. The pair were pictured earlier in November taking adult beverage enjoyment at The Farmer’s Dog pub recently opened by a past controversial BBC television host and proprieter of the Diddly Squat Farm currently featured on Amazon Prime Video. According to the “Daily Mail” the pub goers of the time were treated to strains of another entertainment world escapee to The Cotswolds, Natalie Imbruglia. Sadly word has now appeared upon “Page Six” that the migrants from Montecito have been flooded out on their newly acquired (at a couple of million £ over asking price?) 40 acre Cotswold farmhouse lands. Storm Bert has apparently wreaked havoc upon tributaries of Thames.

    Keep paddling your boats and let us take audio shelter from studio as DJ George offers a dry humor segue into Sunday Tool Time programming certain to drown out any ruffled turkey feathers. Here we go with a selection from Natalie Imbruglia’s “Come to Life” album –
    “WYUT”.

      Folks,

      What time is it? Are we approaching high noon? Does anyone smell a rat? The head of Ukraine’s CCD (Centre for Countering Disinformation), Andriy Kovalenko, made an interesting observation today on Telegram. He states that Facebook and Twitter were the primary social media bases attacking Ukraine in 2014 while Telegram was the primary platform used against Belarus in 2020. He contends that in 2024 primarily TikTok is being used for attacks against Georgia. It could really make one ponder that the elapsed timeline from Winston’s 1984 until a future 2032 is merely 5 rat years.

      Archive dot org has turned off its download options for President Putin’s 2000 novel “First Person”. However searching within the novel for keyword “rat” will still retrieve a page 10 presidential childhood recollection of his showdown with a big rat in a Leningrad stairwell.

    • re: Rick’s Café Américain
      feat: “Play It Again, (Uncle) Sam”

      Folks,

      Oh, somebody put a request in with DJ George for The Coinkydoinks! It did seem a bit unusual when the originally French “Marie Claire” magazine (now a subsidiary of UK-headquartered Future Plc whose Anglo-Pakistani founder graduated from Oxford) reported last week on the LA Thanksgiving plans of the Duchess of Sussex. She was having dumplings prepared for immigrant Afghan women by the immigrant Iranian chef of an LA branch of Soho House.

      Separately the Murdoch-owned “The Sun” reported that Ellen and her wife had purchased their new farmhouse property in the Cotswolds on the weekend of Oct. 5th (a month before President Trump won the election?). The news outlet also noted A-listers’ affection for the nearby Oxfordshire setting of the Soho Farmhouse adjacent with Banbury, former hometown to the author of “Clockwork Orange”.

      The SoHo House chain of private clubs is headquartered within Royalty House in Soho, London. It stands on the site of the Blitz-destroyed Royalty Theatre. It seems the venue witnessed the short-lived 1845 acting career of Charles Dickens as Captain Bobadil from the 1598 Elizabethan hit play “Every Man in his Humour” by Ben Jonson. Book readers may be more familiar with ghostly bracketing novels such as “A Christmas Carol” and “The Haunted Man”. As an aside, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels lived a few doors down from The Royalty.

      According to Wikipedia the current majority shareholder of Soho House is a born-in-the-USA naturalized Serbian billionaire whose abode moniker in Beverley Hills takes after that farm plot homesteaded by Eddie and Eva in a 1965 tv series. The major Clinton fundraiser famously used only the outbound of his roundtrip ticket on the Lolita Express choosing to return commercial for a less “creepy” inflight ambiance.

  7. Tree Farmer! I could use a tall oak… in my backyard for an antenna support. I got the new drone out in the backyard a few days back. Trying to calibrate it to not drift and hover in place is a challenge. But I got no tall trees to string wires to.

    • You could plant an Albizia. They’re Hawaii’s version of the ailanthus (“Tree of Heaven”) — nasty and invasive, but they get tall really quickly, and nobody would be surprised if one popped up anywhere in Hawaii.

      I think I’d rather plant a hybrid willow. They’re rubbery-strong, flexible, and impossible to over-water — and they grow 6 to 12 feet per year. In the springtime you can sometimes actually watch them grow. They top out at ~50-70 feet and get there in six years…

      • Fallen Albizia damage in a hurricane was one reason I got the Volcano Ranch here so cheap. When local laws changed to allow residents to access neighboring (abandoned) property for tree removal, I was all over that jungle with tree killers. Several of the Albizias would have reached the house, had they toppled. I paid a pro tree guy to go in and take them down.

  8. Dipoles or end-feds at modest heights can work extremely well. Below 20 feet — not too good; but 20 feet + + + isn’t usually very hard. In good conditions, an end-fed can work very well. Installation is usually not complicated.

    Sloped or slanted isn’t necessarily bad.

    A “43-foot” vertical (wire or pipe) is highly thought of in some quarters. “Mediocre to not-too-God-awful bad” has been my experience: BUT it’s not poor. Good ground radials seem important. Tricky to match well.

    Get some wire up in the air and test.
    Worry about “perfect”or “optimum”later.

    • I have a longwire, dog legged around a tree into the back yard at maybe 20-25 feet up. It will do all bands with a tuner, including 160. It’s about 150ft long. My Buckmaster OCF dipole is suspended on mast poles along a fence line at about 30 ft center, with slight droop toward the ends. I’ve worked my antipode in S. Africa on 40m with that, so it’s global capable. I’m all band capable, but still I fantasize about a couple of 100 ft trees I could get a wire up well above the forest level.

  9. Back in ’89 I worked around the world on an old Radio Shack ground plane CB antenna I adjusted for use on 20m. The base of that antenna was about 10′ up with no additional ground plane wires. Back then I was running a Swan 240 with an MFJ tuner.

  10. Revenue by Science sent me an email with a BF ask of 30% off their Total NAD+ Restoration Protocol. I ignored the email.

    The next day they sent me a 40% off email so I went and looked. Ask for the kit in the cart is $114.00 for a 60 day supply. They induced me give it a try for < $2.00 a day. I'm not sure what to expect in terms of results.
