Except for some share I have held onto for sentimental reasons, I got
out of the market a long time ago, when I finally realized it was a
fraud, along with the accounting practices of large, publicly held
corporations.
That became a Ponzi scheme when they got into workers pockets via
401k's. Used to be a viable savings/retirement instrument with blue
chips, but utilized mostly by the upper middle class and higher due to
disposable income and risk.
Before the 401k auto-extraction, equity investors could usually be
identified by their dress - golfing shoes or yachting caps.
When that garb became commonly worn by the populace, you knew
something was out of whack.
Too many golfers and yachtsmen, and not enough workers.
Like the Ponzi deal, early investors who pulled out cash did well.
Now it's time for the rest to get screwed.

We put all our (remaining) balance and future contributions in our 401K
into guaranteed interest at 10%. That's not available to all 401K's I
understand. In light of this latest screwing by the Globalist swindlers
on Wall Street we may lose that though.
You cannot trust the Global Merchant Class. Their only loyalty is to
their pocket. They have screwed our economy and become Panda Huggers.
China is bulking up its Military on a wartime basis. They intend tp take
Taiwan and then kick America out of Asia. Then the land grab will
commence. They are doing it with what was our wealth. Russia is
revitalizing its former Military Port in Syria. It intends to control
the flow of oil along with its aggressive moves to build a pipeline from
the are into Russia. China will control the Straits that Oil and other
commerce from Asia to America when it takes Taiwan while we sit idly by.
The damned Globalist Merchant class like Paulson will keep touting China
won't do anything because we are their trading partner. The tried to
float their Council on Foreign Relations junk of World Peace through
wold trade. What this deceptive bunch meant was huge profits for the
Global Economic Elites by subvering the American Republic and raiding
our wealth to areas of the world that have no resources, or limited
capacities so they too can become customers. They then preached the
level playing field nonsense to support this theft. Sermon over
