This is going to be a short post bc I don't need to lay out the evidence as it's widely available. The world's stock markets have been detached from actual company evaluations for over 30 years. We are running on the fumes of fumes of fumes. None of the gains we have seen since precovid are real in any sense of the word. I know bc I used to be a professional trader. What is happening with the stock market is completely synthetic. The only REAL money left in the market is in retirememt accounts and older index funds. But even that totals only a tiny fraction of the current market valution.
What most people don't understand about the stock market is how simple it really is. Each transaction has an equal an opposing transaction. If you make a trade and gain $500 someone somewhere else loses $500. At least that's how it's supposed to work. I don't know when it started but at some point in the last 10-20 years that stopped happening. You gain $500 but the market doesn't pull from the other side of the ledger. What this creates is a liquidity gap. You have $500 on paper but if you want to withdraw it there isnt a trade on the other side waiting for you. On a large scale for giant institutions that have billions and billions of gains they can't realize those gains. So what needs to happen? They need real money on the other side but it's not there.
The next big problem. The stock markets resilience (mostly due to manipulation) has causes a world wide false sense of trust that crashes will eventually come back and even exceed the losses. The COVID crash cemented this. The market made a massive correction and was bought instantly. The recent market correction was also bought instantly and we reached new highs shortly afterward. There is literally nothing that will shake people out of the market anymore. Everyone knows the losses are temporary and if they just stay put they will be fine. This is a huge problem for the big market players. Without crashes they can't find the liquidity to exit the market safely.
At this point every bank, hedge fund, market maker, trading house, Billionares are all aware most of their money is just inflated pixels on a screen and backed by absolutely nothing. Everyone is desperate for a crash, a real sustained crash to exit and correct the market back to reality. But nothing they can come up with, short of dropping nukes is going to do it.
I think you all can see where I'm going with this.
Sorry everyone but Aliens are not real, at least, not in the sense our gov't wants us to think they are real. This "release" of files is just the next tactic to drum up an excuse for a market crash and nothing more. If our gov't confirms the existance of aliens and the market truly corrects you have to ask yourself, why does the existance of aliens have anything to do with the price of tea in china? Do you think people will wake up the next day and say "wow, aliens are real, I no longer need to buy food or gas for my car. I no longer need to pay rent or go to work or send my kids to school? No nothing about this disclosure should effect our economy but THEY will tell us on the news how this revelation has created an existential crisis that somehow makes people immediately run to their brokerage account.
Don't fall for it.
