Pop a Pill, Drop the Pounds

Grandpa always said the best way to lose weight is to keep the fork away from your mouth.  Now, they are popping pills!

Obesity rampant, gym memberships galore, the health of America dwindles.

This is a good read.

Fat fanishing via PILLS!

My take is fairly simple.  FWIW from where I sit.  Obesity is NOT a disease. It is a symptom. So are type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease, stroke, and chronic inflammation.

All are SYMPTOMS of severe metabolic dysfunction brought on by diet.

You can end them by changing your diet. Eliminate all added sugar, scale back your carbohydrate intake to a trickle, and eat lots of vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, and dairy. You will be healthy within a year with almost no other effort.  Curb your booze while you are at it.

Now, there is one other catch; eat NOTHING processed. If it comes in a box, bag, bottle, or tub don't eat it. After two weeks you will feel better than you have in years.

Virtually EVERYTHING you have been told about diet in the last 50 years has not only been wrong, it has been a deliberate LIE. Solely to enrich a few powerful industrial lobbies and individuals. Never believe ANYTHING that the government or large industries tell you about diet. That includes dietitians and nutritionists.    



Biden Labor Department (update on 4-9-2024, Bureau of Lies and Subterfuge)

I can't think of a Biden agency that puts out more lies.  

Fabrication.  Lies.  Distortion.  Dishonesty. Disinformation.  Tales.  Evasion.

Take your pick.

It's all on display in the Biden Labor Department.

Read this and weep.   For America.

Lies and More Lies


UPDATE:  Well look at this!  Imagine Dean Parisian being right once again!

Read this and weep boys and girls.   The ooze and slime are thick!

Advance Information: FOR SALE

Looking back years later........................

I don't like to play the LOOK BACK game and say I told you so.   Doesn't make me look as smart as I am.  Better to just keep quiet.   Most people live in the rearview mirror and say "I shoulda done this" "I shoulda bought that" "I knew that was going to be huge" or "I knew that was going to be a great investment".  Those people aren't living, only existing.   They don't know risk and the value of time and have no clue about the 8th Wonder of the World, compounding returns, whether in interest or in the stock market.

This post looks back at my prognostications on the finances of the United States.

With a background in economics and enough common sense derived from being in the markets for 30  years, I decided, on a hot summer day in Atlanta, Buckhead actually, to go down and stage a one-man protest.  Ben Bernanke was staying across the street at the Ritz Carleton and he had his government minions guarding him from seeing my poster.   What do you think of my poster-making skills?  

I called it.  Everything has come true.  Trillions upon trillions in debt, devaluation of the currency, inflation, lies, it just doesn't end with these crooks and shysters in government.

Never. Ever. Forget.

If you have a couple of minutes out of your busy life watching social media reels and perusing your META life of those you love and hate, just do this.  Read.  This.

It's coming. The sky is falling. "R" is here!

The dreaded "R" word!  Recession!    I will say it again, you read it here first, the recession will start the day after Trump takes office.   The liberal media loons will go crazy blaming the Trump presidency on policy causing a recession.

Today, the stock market goes on its merry way.  Again, another day of ATH's.

All.  Time.  Highs.    Buy RSP or SPY, preferably a combination of the two names, and just do nothing.    Just. Do. Nothing.  Just sit.

Here is a precursor of what is happening due to Bidenomics.  America's penchant for eating out is drying up.   

I took this off of ZeroHedge today.

"Darden Restaurants, a top full-service US restaurant group with 1,914 locations across 50 states under its eight brands—Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Cheddar's, Yard House, Ruth's Chris, The Capital Grille, Seasons 52, Bahama Breeze, and Eddie V's—warned on Thursday that lower-income customers are pulling back on spending. 

"Transactions from incomes below $75,000 were much lower than last year, and at every brand, transactions fell from incomes below $50,000. Similar to Q2, this shift was most pronounced in our Fine Dining segment," Chief Executive Officer Rick Cardenas told investors on an earnings call.

A pinched low- and middle-income consumer comes as no surprise given elevated credit-card balances and rising delinquencies, as well as depleted personal savings. Furthermore, negative real wage growth has been a disaster for the working poor in the era of failed Bidenomics."  


It still amazes me that most people involved in the stock market think that day trading or buying and selling is the way to make money.   The big money is doing the work in bad times and doing what I call, "winnowing" down the names I want to own.  As a cowboy, there is only so much room at the water trough.  You want to keep your best livestock well-fed and watered.  You want to own the best horses and give them plenty to drink.  If lucky, they will produce for you year after year.  I was fortunately very ready when the market began to roll back in November.  There was a silver lining to having had COVID back then and being in front of the computer day and night.  I didn't have the strength to be hunting, fishing, or trapping full-time last fall.  So, I was ready.  The big money is made by sitting.  I wish I knew 40 years ago what I know now.  A big shout-out to the million charts, scans, and screens I have been able to learn from via the William O'Neil database, now called MarketSurge, formerly called MarketSmith, and to the blue and green Daily Graphs books I had Federal Expressed overnight to review each and every weekend.  It was an expensive investment at the time, but now it's an investment I couldn't operate without.  Human emotions haven't changed in 10,000 years.  Fear and greed are in ultimate control of stock prices.  I am forever grateful.  

They changed my life.

ELON MUSK. He says it best...........

"The woke hide their evil in a moral cloak."

"This is a battle to the death with the anti-civilizational woke mind virus.

My positions are centrist:

- Secure borders

- Safe & clean cities

- Don’t bankrupt America with spending

- Racism against any race is wrong

- No sterilization below age of consent.

Is this right-wing?"

Think DISASTER! Think TITANIC!

 


In the markets as in life, remind yourself of your boundaries.  Never think it can't happen to you.   I keep this beautifully framed picture on an office wall, easy to see, obviously to remind me daily.   Don't think it can't happen to you.

There is no reason to be stupid in the markets and kill yourself and your trading equity.   Yes, I experienced some tremendous drawdowns which didn't put me out of business but the worst one came at the absolute worst possible time when my Mother passed away.   It was about 25 years ago this week.

It was bad news on top of bad news on top of bad news.

Never believe it can't happen to you.

From the ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG! Michael Snyder put this up!

More than half of all Americans over the age of 65 “are living on incomes of $30,000 or less a year”…

And, for some, the retirement crisis is already here. Just over half of Americans over the age of 65 are living on incomes of $30,000 or less a year, according to the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey. The largest share — just under 23% — have incomes between $10,000 and $19,999.

Millions of elderly Americans are barely surviving at this point.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration has been flying hundreds of thousands of migrants that have no legal right to be here directly into the country…

It means that while record numbers of migrants were flowing over the southern border last year, the Biden White House was also directly transporting them into the country.

Use of a cell phone app has allowed for the near undetected arrival by air of 320,000 aliens with no legal rights to enter the United States.

It comes after a controversy over a 2022 transportation program in which the administration used taxpayers money to move migrants throughout the country on overnight flights.

You have got to be kidding me.

Let me give you another example.

Since 2020, the income needed “to comfortably afford a home in the US” has gone up by 80 percent…

According to Zillow, the income needed to comfortably afford a home in the US has leapt 80% since 2020, far exceeding what the BLS reports has been a 23% increase in median household income over the same period.

The real estate website found home buyers today need to make more than $106,000 a year, up $47,000 from 2020, a change driven largely by higher prices and borrowing costs.

“Housing costs have soared over the past four years as drastic hikes in home prices, mortgage rates and rent growth far outpaced wage gains,” said Orphe Divounguy, a senior economist at Zillow.

But instead of doing something about that, politicians in California actually want to provide interest-free home loans with no down payment required to newly arrived migrants

Assembly Bill 1840 would change existing law to allow illegal immigrants to be eligible for the California Dream for All Fund, which provides interest-free loans for a down payment on a home for first-time buyers.

The bill was introduced by California Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula, a Democrat, who last month told GV Wire, a Fresno-based news outlet, that he “wanted to ensure that qualified first-time homebuyers include undocumented applicants.”

You have got to be kidding me.

Don’t stop reading now, because there is more.

On Thursday, we learned that the number of layoffs in the U.S. last month was the highest total that we have seen during February since 2009

The pace of job cuts by U.S. employers accelerated in February, a sign the labor market is starting to deteriorate in the face of ongoing inflation and high interest rates.

That is according to a new report published Thursday by Challenger, Gray & Christmas, which found that companies planned 84,638 job cuts in February, a 3% increase from the previous month and a 9% jump from the same time last year.

It marked the highest layoff total for the month of February in data going back to 2009.

That is terrible news.

But instead of finding jobs for American workers, New York Governor Kathy Hochul wants to “prioritize” hiring newly arrived migrants for state jobs…

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is pushing a plan to prioritize hiring illegal aliens for state jobs by eliminating certain requirements like the civil service exam and high school diploma.

The aim is to expedite the process for illegal immigrants to secure state jobs once they have work permits.

You have got to be kidding me.

Last but not least, let’s talk about what is going on in Washington right now.

In preparation for the State of the Union address, a “large steel fence” was being put up around the U.S. Capitol…

Ahead of President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address this evening – what concerns do the political elites on Capitol Hill have that require security crews to erect a large steel fence around the immediate perimeter of the Capitol Complex?

In several posts on X, FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram said the steel, grated 12-foot fence around the Capitol Complex was erected on Wednesday night on the orders of the Secret Service.

Apparently our leaders in Washington have no problem with being protected by walls.

Unfortunately, our southern border has been left wide open and it is being estimated that approximately 10 million migrants have come pouring into this nation since Joe Biden entered the White House…

The number of illegal immigrants in the country has roughly doubled under President Biden. The United States had some 10.2 million illegal immigrants in 2020, and another 10 million have entered during Biden’s presidency. If the 20 million illegal immigrants were all in one state, it would be tied with New York for the fourth most populated state.

And here’s even worse news. If Biden wins a second term in office and there is no serious reform of U.S. immigration and asylum laws — both of which are very real possibilities — we can expect a continuing increase in the rate of immigrants crossing the border illegally.

You have got to be kidding me.

We already have tens of millions of people that are deeply suffering in this country.

To allow millions more to come marching in doesn’t make any sense at all.

We can’t even afford to take care of the people that we already have.  We are completely broke, and we have been adding another trillion dollars to the national debt about every 100 days.

We are literally committing national suicide,

The SOTU RANT!

I turned it off.   The lies were thick with words for the LEFT.

What a sordid address to America and those who work and grew up in this country.

Biden's SOTU Speech was disgusting.

  • Fund Ukraine.

  • Trump is a threat to democracy and America itself.

  • Abortion is good.

  • American Economy is stronger than ever.

  • Inflation wasn't Biden's fault.

  • Illegals are Americans too.

  • Republicans are responsible for the border crisis.

  • Trump is bad.

  • Biden stands with trans children.

  • J6 was the worst insurrection since the Civil War.

JOE KERNAN of CNBC

Joe, you are always welcome at Ghost Ranch.  Bring the family, bring the dogs to Montana! 

You are the last of a great breed of journalists.

It was a treasure today to watch you shred the Secretary of Transportation.  The POTUS called him "Secretary Booty Juice."

You have far too much honesty and common sense for COMCAST.


NO ONE SAYS IT BETTER!

I still have hero's,  Elon Musk is the latest.

His grit, truth, and honesty are out there for all to see.

No bullshit.  He puts his money where his business lies.

He had this to say about criminal aliens who invade our nation.

"America will fall if it tries to absorb the world. That is why I am banging the drum so much about this issue."

Another financial debacle in Indian Country.

 


This was a great idea.   Promoters didn't have a clue.  Died before its time.

Native American Advisors, Inc. was to be one of the investment managers.

Summer of 1984

"SUCCESS IN A FREE COUNTRY IS SIMPLE.  GET A JOB, GET AN EDUCATION, AND LEARN TO SAVE AND INVEST WISELY.  ANYONE CAN DO IT."

William J. O'Neil

In 1984 I was in Los Angeles when William "Bill" O'Neil was starting his newspaper, Investors Business Daily.  I was invited to a Los Angeles Stock & Bond Club luncheon where Bill was presenting his newspaper.

I would not be where I am without the strategy, discipline, and risk-control of the O'Neil system.






It's a beautiful Monday in Colorado

This is better than first tracks at Tin Pants on Vail Mountain.
