The Brains Trust - 2024, page-1704

Things moving very quickly re news around the world. Some standouts for me:

• U.S. election; Kamala HAS changed the landscape .... now there is only one senile old fool in the race!!!
• Recession fears everywhere
• Middle East; it is just possible we will wake up one morning in the next week to MAJOR ESCALATION. Small probability (IMO) of 3rd WW and even a surprise nuclear attack!!!! (PLEASE no .... because then the world changes for all of us instantaneously. Interestingly I was just listening to a podcast clarifying that General Douglas MacArthur wanted to use dozens of nuclear weapons in the Korean war against the Chinese ..... MESSAGE: never expect that decision makers might work within your own morale compass or one that seems remotely SANE!!!!!).
• Seemingly civil "unrest" and unease is escalating around the globe including Oz raising the terror threat level has been "probable"

Markets NOT loving the situation; a scan of the little FINVIZ charts very telling!! Some HUGE moves with many against the prevailing trend.
