I got some March S&P puts. Getting a bit worried that crash might not happen by Jan after all. Good news is the prices are very cheap right now compared to what I paid back when for Jan puts.

Monday might have marked the top of a rally that began November 2. The Pfizer vaccine announcement put a rocket under markets globally but I see more caution has creeped in. Great trading caution needed for the present

What he's describing here is what I call The 97th Percentile. And it's gotten much, much worse since 1994. They use the Democratic party as their cover. Their actions were responsible for the rise of Trump and they were responsible for making sure he didn't get a second term.

COMMENTARY

The Ominous, New Cognitive Elite

December 3, 1994

By CHARLES A. MURRAY

Also published in The Philadelphia Inquirer

In the last half century, society has undergone a hidden revolution. Fifty years ago, most of the people in the top few percentiles of the IQ ladder were not college graduates, and those who did go to college usually went to the nearest state college. Today, these most talented American youths not only go to college, but are channeled with astonishing efficiency into a handful of elite universities. Isolated from the rest of society, associating only with their own kind, exposed to a uniform intellectual conventional wisdom about everything from ethics to aesthetics to politics, this new class—a “cognitive elite”—has over the same half century moved into positions of influence throughout American society.

Its formation as a class coincided with a drastic expansion of the reach of federal power. Fifty years ago, intellectuals had strong ideas about how American society ought to be run but, like Archimedes, they lacked a place to stand. Today, they operate as senior bureaucrats and congressional staff (and occasionally even elected officials), the lawyers who lobby for the laws and regulations, the professors who lay down the intellectually correct line, or the journalists who interpret the news—and if they can get their way, their bright ideas turn into federal law. The cognitive elite now does have a place to stand, and it has been used to disastrous effect. The cognitive elite’s mischief cuts across political labels. Its distinctive features are utter confidence that they know best how ordinary people should live their lives and a fascination with complications and rules.

One effect of the cognitive elite’s kind of rules has been to make life difficult for ordinary people to reap the rewards that their abilities should command. This country was once great at letting people parlay determination, commonsense, and hard work into a good living. Anyone who has tried to open a small business recently knows how much things have changed. If you want to strike out on your own these days, you had better be smart in the IQ sense of the term for reasons that have nothing to do with providing a valued service for customers but everything to do with jumping through bureaucratic hoops.

Another effect of the new rules has been to make it harder for communities to run local life. Ask anyone who has served on a town council or tried to run a voluntary social service or become active in a local school. Again and again, common-sense steps to deal with local problems run afoul of the schemes set in law by the Ira Magaziners of the cognitive elite—schemes that tend to be elaborate, ineffectual, and utterly out of touch.

The ascendancy of the cognitive elite has made life more difficult for everyone, but most especially for those at the low end of the bell curve of cognitive ability, who are least able to navigate through the brave new rules crafted by the cognitive elite. Many of our gravest social problems—violent crime, mounting births out of wedlock, inner city decay—have been aggravated by this development.

They knew which states were using the voting machines loaded with HAMMER & SCORECARD. (Software developed for the CIA to manipulate voter tallies remotely in foreign elections.) It was just deployed against the American people. Tom Fitton & Sydney Powell put it right in your face.

Xiden47 was expendable Harris was not necessary going forward.

Wake up children they already know and knew what these maniacs have been up to.

Former high-level intelligence official (Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney) who warns that the Dems and the CIA have put in place a mechanism which can alter the voting results of electronic voting machines in key swing states (like Pennsylvania) that will determine the outcome of the election.
This covert technology is called Operation Scorecard, and it was built by the CIA to surreptitiously steal elections in targeted countries. Now, that technology is being turned against the United States of America and is about to be activated on Tuesday to steal the election for Biden, explains Janda’s guest.

Allen Harrow Parrot, (CIA whistleblower) tells Charles Woods (father of Tyrone Woods killed in Benghazi) that Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton sent Iran 152 Billion Dollars to coverup the deaths of Seal Team 6.
This is the tail of blackmail and extortion at the highest level involving Osama Bin Laden, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.
UPDATE 10/13/20: Benghazi whistleblower Nick Noe turns over evidence of Benghazi cover-up to congress.
UPDATE 10/14/20: Alan Howell Parrot releases audio tapes and physical evidence to corroborate his story of the Benghazi scandal.

Hobson's Choice

Something about markets irrationality to wait for logic to show up.
Crazy Jacks change from the outside quicker then the inside maxim.
Foreign and domestics marbles, Follow the debt which controls it.

While the haves and the have-nots struggle over the division of existing wealth,
it is the business of the State to improve itself at the expense of both;
it picks up the marbles while the boys are fighting.
That has been the story of men in organized society since the beginning.
In the United States, Tax Day is a colloquial term for the day on which individual income tax
returns are due to the federal government.

The more money they print, the harder you have to work.

Your just too damn stupid to admit you will fall like leaves under local and foreign agency's assaults underway.

Of the top 500 companies in China, 316 are State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs).
They account for 82.82 percent of the total revenue, 90.40% of the total
assets, and 81.88% of the total profit of these 500 companies.
