Just to let those watching this thread I share my "stock picks" via PM. I will not disclose them publicly.
Right now, only skilled investors should be toying with the markets. Others are better off investing in "real things" that have "value" in accordance with their personal needs. For wealth preservation, gold, silver, land, fine art and items that will soon undergo inflationary pressure are what people should accumulate (as needed only). Food, shelter, water and measures for safety should also be pursued. Alliances with friends and neighbors is of utmost importance. Be prepared for this system to fail . . . even if it has to fail through the most undesirable route of WAR. Because WAR is where this appears to be headed prior to the total collapse of the monetary systems.
Whatever is going to happen . . . will happen, and there is little we can do to stop it. The force is moving towards war and it is not slowing down. It is good we have pulled back a bit by getting Trump into office ~ the risk remains HIGH.
I am not an alarmist. I work, I play, I live . . . and enjoy life as it presently exists right here on earth. I enjoy learning more about new technologies and recommend that those pursuing a future take a strong look at Artificial Intelligence. That direction will not be curtailed. Get to know more and more about "Smart Homes" and products that are moving into existence that are going to effect yours. You MUST stay on top of technology to the best of your ability. If you don't, you will get swallowed up by the technocrats and you will have NO future.
Be smart. The change that needs to be made on this planet can be done by YOU as well as it can be pursued by anyone else. YOU ARE THE CHANGE. United we stand, divided we fall. Fall in alignment with bright people with high standards. Leave the loathing beggars behind. If they can be helped . . . they will learn how to work for their food and housing. They won't expect it to come from the government.
So, keeping those thoughts in mind . . . keep pushing on. The world will not end overnight (although there are plenty of people scaring others into bugout bags, special supplements to protect against nuclear fallout, storing specail food items ~ when canned foods are good enough! Rice, beans, dried potatoes and milk, fruit, jerkey. These items are good enough! Even crackers and chips store for quite some time and can be heated up in a microwave to a "crisp state" months after storing. In the wind-tunnels of old they use to have soda crackers stored along with peanut butter in case of an emergency. Good choice!).
I guess that could be Mark's "rant" of the day.
Summing it all up . . . I still invest. I just keep my own investments private unless others wish to check them out. Silver and gold are no brainers. They are for wealth preservation. Other investments to watch are small companies that are poised to be offering something viable for the future. Wine and spirits is another area to watch along with quality food providers and mining companies.
Peace. . . more coming as time permits. Until then, get a good job with a strong company and hold on tight. Because NOTHING is going to stop that which is coming. Have a solid job is your best security because the world is not going to stand still at any point in the forseeable future.
Got it?
