The stock market is a joke

2025-12-21

Is it me, or is the stock market completely out of touch

w/ reality? Or at least, the reality up to 99% of us live

everyday. American indices are way overvalued - something

good happens, they go up. Something bad happens, they...

still go up!? Alternatively, something bad happens, they

dip a tiny bit and then rebound to new records the next

day. It's maddening.

If you're like most Americans (incl. most American gemi-

nauts, I foolishly assume), you're seeing your dollar go

less & less far every month. Food, meds, bills of almost

every kind just keep going up. Companies you do business

with, or perhaps (used to) work for, keep touting record

profits to their lemming investors on Wall St. while lay-

ing off double digit %s of their workforce and increasing

prices. But to the investors and Donald Tariff, the eco-

nomy is booming! It's like two different worlds.

It is not booming, the stock market is just in a giant bub-

ble and every boomer's 401K is going to take a massive hit

when it finally pops. How can the economy be booming when

rent is $3000+ for a shoebox apartment in most cities? Or

when gold has surpassed $4000? Or when the Outback, Ruby

Tuesdays, and TGI Fridays are closing many branches? (so

the Sun claims. look it up.) The writing is on the wall.

I believe the best way to prepare for the coming storm is

to buy gold & silver. Yes, gold is wicked expensive per oz.

But you can still buy a few grams of gold for <$1000! Just

have some physical gold/silver, or even gold/silver ETF

holdings in the stock market. Yes, the one part of the stock

market that still reflects reality - precious metal prices.

Stocks are overvalued, indices and their ETFs are overvalued,

and don't even look at the currency futures. When fiat curr-

encies including the dollar see their demise, you'll be glad

you have assets with real value. Not worthless paper. The AI

"sector" just has money going around in a circular manner,

being of real benefit to almost no one. The bubble will pop

one day, and reality will hit the mainstream media and lem-

ming investors like a cement truck.
