Final note

Whilst we did see net weekly declines, that was from new historic highs. Daily momentum is weakening, but weekly and monthly momentum continues to build. Considering the disturbing degree of societal tension and economic nightmare that remains the case for many, the equity and capital markets are extraordinarily comfortable. Clearly, Print Central is helping.

There are other things I'd mention, but not here. As a society/species, many have decided that unless my opinion is in sync with the mainstream narrative, I can no longer say or even question certain things here.

For those that value liberty and freedom, you know where I am.

Yours... battling to get through each day... in the twilight zone.
