    Great to see a comment from you Greg. :cool: Who says the Fastlane forum doesn’t know anything about finance and the economy? Not even a week later something interesting happened and we were right. :cool: Looking at the VIX futures, I’ve never seen those contracts move like that this whole...

    The SVB (Silicon Valley Bank) Failure, Nothingburger? Or More?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Looking at the data and different indicators, I don't see anything indicative of a financial crisis or a big credit crisis. But as we all know, it's not supposed to be obvious. LOL Politicians lying on press conferences, the front page of Bloomberg depicting the opinion of some CEO. LOL...

    The SVB (Silicon Valley Bank) Failure, Nothingburger? Or More?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I wasn’t expecting anything interesting to happen until maybe a year later. I figured that would be enough to “see” an impact on earnings and balance sheets. But, let’s look at the facts. They haven’t even raised interest rates a whole lot and these banks already failed. That’s laughable and...

    You don’t need more time, you just prioritize other things

    People don’t prioritize anything because they are asleep. The auto-pilot aspect of human nature is very powerful. Like…extremely powerful. People fall into the circular trap of failure and dysfunction for many reasons. You are raised by dysfunctional parents then you marry young and have...

    The SVB (Silicon Valley Bank) Failure, Nothingburger? Or More?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    LOL at one point basically a VIX spike of 3 points while /ES was up 10 handles. That’s really rare. The VIX futures curve flattened yesterday when Yellen spoke. Before that it looked…interesting. The LIBOR interbank rates are not budging.

    The Fed has basically admitted inflation is hurting the average joe. So they’re gonna try to get him unemployed and bankrupt instead of stopping government spending and easy credit LOL. But I guess they view it as better for the greater good. The economic data has been strong so that means...

    https://www.cmegroup.com/education/featured-reports/vix-yield-curve-cycle-at-the-door-of-high-volatility.html A must read article on the VIX, yield curves and recessions. Although it was written in 2018. What phase of the cycle are we in? We are going to see an epic VIX spike.

    Currently the spread between the 3 month US treasury and the 3 month LIBOR is 22 basis points. When you start seeing these move, that's a pretty good indicator liquidity is getting hit in the markets. Funny how those who are greedy and unprepared get weeded out when things get tight. Nobody...

    Yeah, consult with your doctor, this is not medical advice. I take them with no side effects but it might be more complicated if you are taking medications. Yeah, diet is a big part. Do the opposite of what your anxiety is driving you to do. Your brain and nervous system is basically...

    The Ultimate Cure for Motivating yourself to Do Things

    MINDSET 
    That’s exactly right. You don’t get a second chance. Not to mention how short life is. It really is short. It truly is a sad and tragic feeling when one thinks of all the time and potential that was wasted. All just for some fleeting hedonistic impulsive behavior. You need to wake up and be...

    The only thing I can say is that if it wasn't for this forum I would probably be dead in some ditch or in jail. It's SUPPOSED to feel impossible to become a financial success. That's what makes this journey thrilling. It's like competing in the olympics.

    Interestingly the only people I know who are “successful” slowlaners(never started a business) did it through: 1. A high paying job. 2. Investing in real estate. I Notice how there’s NOBODY that did it through compound interest(LOL) or mutual funds. At least I've never met that person...

    I enjoy listening to Peter Schiff as well. A lot of things he says are refreshing and logical. I think there is big opportunity in this space in the form of information, content and data. The mainstream media talking heads or media like MSNBC is completely unwatchable. I think people will...

    Absolutely. The sociopaths in charge of the establishment do not want people like me to know how the economy really works. "We will take care of it, you just do what you are told. Nothing to see here." They lie about the economy and everything else. Shoot, they don't even want you to know...

    The spread between the 2 and the 10 year yield is still very inverted. Even more inverted than it was before the internet crash of 2000 and the financial crisis of 2008. In other words, there is a bubble SOMEWHERE. Who knows where. It can be crypto, equities or something. There is gonna be...

    This is one of the reasons why I avoid the updates. I’m still using an iPhone XS max. Throughout updates I’ve notice: -slower processing speeds. -diminished battery life. -slower data speeds. It may be that the latest software version is optimized for the latest phone. Cause I mean what kind...
