Looks like GT is just around the corner 

 

Maybe, but I think there is a little time yet. I think.

At WEF (World Economic Forum) in 2021, I believe UN, IMF, and WEF talked about a Global Reset due to Covid and all countries needing to be on the same page. That’s why Pact of the Future makes sense. Crypto was huge talking point. 
 

It’s probably actually happening now. 

 

  I do not know what Trump is thinking. Since satans  world is divided, there will not be a  global financial unity.

I think Trump is trying to bring manufacturing back to America by removing the incentives to choose foreign products over domestic. This could theoretically work if we weren't in the last days, but I think the way he is shaking things up could lead directly to the GT - hopefully.

 

To add some context, America and Europe have been heading to financial collapse for a long time [endless debt], so they are in a particularly vulnerable state while Trump is flipping over tables. I think it's entirely possible that Europe will do something radical like dissolving the EU to try to fix their finances, but the entire world will be in such financial straits that they might try joining together via the UN to "truly" fix it.

 

Maybe after that they pillage religion for their wealth.

 

Exciting times. 😃 🎉

World Leaders: "Okay, we all agree to reset the world debt, pool our national treasures and fund the UN so it can solve the world's problems, right?"

 

World Religions: "Ummm... We have a LOT of treasures, can we give just a little, like maybe a tenth?"

 

World Leaders: "Everyone is going all in. You need to do more than a tenth for true peace and security"

 

World Religions: "Yeah, uh, we don't want to do that.."

 

World Leaders: "Hmmmm..."

Im picturing the world leaders going "hmmm" and doing this

Financial collapse or troubles could escalate quickly. 

1. Russia - Trump could introduce secondary oil sanctions on oil if peace talks do not yield results. 

2. Iran attacked - world's economy shaken again. (nukes issue) 

3. Other unknown events.

 

 

What is happening with the market now could be just beginning.

I can't help but note the door pulls above the guys head. They look similar to horns.

 From what I read, the Trump admin isn't going to let Putin stall.  If Russia doesn't get serious about ending the war, Trump will apply maximum pressure and punish any nation that buys Russian energy.

During the first Trump admin, the Iranian Rial was trading at 55,000 to $1.00 US.  Now, it's 1,032,000 Rial to $1.00

The Iranian currency is virtually worthless.

It's not too bad if you don't need the money and play the long game.  But, if you need the money for a car, wedding, health emergency, divorce or whatever, you will have heavy penalties.  Probably walk away with less than if it was in a savings account.

Having access to your investments is a big consideration.  And, I suppose, a big temptation as well.      

You’re right. Which is why I don't go by the 3 to 6 months savings of living expenses rule. I think its a good starting point or minimum. But I think its good to have larger cash reserves for bigger emergencies like replacing a vehicle or something financially similar. I'm not saying a person needs to save tens of thousands before they start investing. But perhaps they can start after hitting a minimum of 3 to 6 months of expenses while continuing to save extra money instead of putting it all in the stock market.

I actually followed most of this from Dilbert creator Scott Adams.

 

Dilbert’s One-Page Guide to Everything Financial:

Make a will.
Pay off your credit cards.
Get term life insurance if you have a family to support.
Fund your 401k to the maximum.
Fund your IRA to the maximum.
Buy a house if you want to live in a house and can afford it.
Put six months worth of expenses in a money-market account.
Take whatever money is left over and invest 70% in a stock index fund and 30% in a bond fund through any discount broker and never touch it until retirement.
If any of this confuses you, or you have something special going on (retirement, college planning, tax issues), hire a fee-based financial planner, not one who charges a percentage of your portfolio.

Who knew that Dilbert really knew his stuff? I read those comics all the time in the papers when I was little.

 

Rant over. Back to the topic.
