Well, I shouldn't talk. I compare these people to myself. I'm a
pariah who tells what's actually going on, and so I'm hated and
shunned. Santoli is an airhead, but he tells everyone what they want
to hear. So Santoli is loved by everyone.
Gee, I wonder what it would be like to be loved by everyone? Is it
too late to predict that the Dow will go up to 100,000?
I seem to remember that when you were managing software projects, you got yourself in trouble by giving management timelines that were based on actual facts, not fantasy. So, for example, you might have said that the team could realistically complete a project in 9 months whereas somebody who had no basis for saying so would give a much more immediate deadline because that was what they knew management wanted to hear.
I think the same principle applies to the stock market. In fact, I've seen people lay low on message boards and then when things get frothy they pop up bullish as hell and of course selling a telephone hotline or something that they just have to turn the key to get the revenue stream started again. And they get mostly accolades for doing so.
I've run into similar problems when I've estimated projects. One time, I estimated something like 2100 hours to complete a project and the client informed our management that they agreed with my estimate and had come up with something just a little higher themselves. My management said, well, we allot 250 hours for each project and some will take a little more and some a little less. If another engineer were to agree to do the project in 250 hours and it ends up taking 3200, that engineer would be looked upon more favorably by management as being a team player and not a naysayer like me, but had just run into an unexpected snag or two that nobody could anticipate.
I'll break this out as a separate paragraph to explain how incredibly bizarre this was. A project with 4 basic boilers to characterize was allotted the same amount of time as a project with 35 complex processes that nobody had characterized before. That's how lazy and corrupt that management was.
Same thing goes on in the stock market. After something like a pandemic hits, the analyst who had an estimate for S&P 3500 for this quarter is lauded and it is stated that the analyst makes really great estimates, it's just that nobody could have seen coronavirus coming.

Re: Financial topics
As to what causes the above and what it means for the US economy, it's pretty obvious.
Most managements are using far less than 20% of their work force to carry the remaining 80%+ dead wood. We discussed the square root rule here. It's something like the square root of the number of employees in an organization do half of the work.
A corollary of the above is when you have the amount of dead wood you have in the US work force, you have to have large organizations to carry the dead wood. Too big to fail becomes temporary stopgap reality because it's the only option.
What is described in the above post becomes reality when you have an incompetent management that wants to ride the gravy train and carry incompetent employees instead of going to the work of firing them and training competent employees, and has a lifeline to the government teat. That's why the debt is tens or hundreds of trillions, how ever you want to count it, and going higher literally by a trillion with every news cycle.

Re: Financial topics
So at the last job I had, there was ongoing routine work that was discussed by a team of about 20 at every weekly meeting, including a supervisor and sometimes upper management.
Once in awhile, during the meeting, I would make an offhand comment that the sampling requirement must be a state only requirement rather than a federal requirement because no compliance schedules were being put into the database. After about 3 years, there were over 1,000 potential compliance schedules, so I decided to take a look. It turned out the sampling requirement was a federal requirement and there were no compliance schedules in the database, which would have been a problem had it been discovered during an audit. It turned out that the employees who had been tasked with implementing the project 3 years previous understood that compliance schedules were required to be in the database, but never got around to setting it up. As staff drifted away, that awareness was lost.
Management gave me the job of setting up a process so that compliance schedules, including the backlog, would be entered.
About that time, a Millie left the team for a promotion and I got 8 of his projects to do. The Millie had employed a standard technique that is used to get a promotion. He volunteered to do some very difficult projects that were beyond his ability, then went to an interview in another department where he talked about all the great work he was doing on these projects, when in fact he was doing nothing. He was able to slip away fast enough that he never got tagged for not doing anything. I've seen this happen more than once.
As I finished his 8 projects that quarter, I did not have time to set up the process to enter the compliance schedules.
At my next quarterly review, my supervisor (Gen X female) stated in my review that I needed to budget my time better next quarter so as to get the process complete for entering the compliance schedules. When the contract manager (another Gen X female) gave me the quarterly review, she shrugged her shoulders and said some supervisors are like this.
For that and other reasons, they had my resignation in less than 90 days. The supervisor who did that review got another job with a different employer within a couple months. Some team members noted over a beer that her new job was not in a management capacity.
All par for the course in the USA of today.

Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF) was accused last year of funding Black Lives Matter (BLM), Ken Zimmerman, the director of U.S. programs at OSF, flatly denied it and claimed it was a fantastic rumor. “I can’t really speculate on what leads to rumors, but it is wrong,” he said, “I don’t even know where one begins to reconstruct something like that.” Early this week, hackers published documents which show that two months before Zimmerman’s denial, the OSF board approved $650,000 to BLM.
DCLeaks.com — which claims to be run by the same hackers who leaked a trove of e-mails from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) — has published a 69-page report from OSF in which the Soros organization documents its plans to use the “unrest” following the death of Freddie Gray to “accelerate the dismantling of structural inequality generated and maintained by local law enforcement.” The relevant portion of the report says:

Generational cycle also noted.Elites exploit this cheap labour to expand, and divide into rival factions. Elite expansion increases the state's obligations while general impoverishment reduces its revenues, and its authority breaks down. Elite factions then mobilise the populace to fight over a new order.
