Hobie, Thank you so much for your concisely phrased opinion. I agree there is no room for defaming others in an effort to elevate one's status.

I hold a Master in Business Administration and a Doctorate in Business Management (of major corporations). I am expected to know Finance and economics inside out. I have been very successful at dealing in the reconstruction of million and billion dollar failing companies and the destruction of aggressive billion dollar company competitors.

To your point; "People like me are just a bunch, of gullible saps, because we don't understand, finances, or the Real, Situation."

Amongst the smoke and mirrors of Pee Resident Biden and the missing Congress, etc. It is near impossible for anyone, in including our stars of this report that can truly know what is going on and not." They offer conjecture based on available information they have (good, bad or indifferent). The question becomes what information is FACT and what is fiction.

There is too much fabrication going on to really pin down numbers and with the way government agencies are behaving in all areas who are we to trust with the real data for analysis. Our current debt, our trade deficit, our employment rates, etc. are all over the place based on who you believe. The papers, the radio stations and TV stations all lie as do our government representatives. What reports can be be confident are credible, certainly not Brandon or a non-existent Congress.

Where Trump is one of the good guys, he is spilling so much campaign rhetoric no one can discern truth to us and lies for the Deep State.

Where I am all for Med Beds, and repatriating tax dollars stolen, I have no hard facts any of that is going to happen. There simply is not credible evidence. Historically we got a few thousand dollars a while back and some are supposedly receiving monthly checks for children. That is what I hear, not what I know.

I am building a much bigger mail box for that pending check, but I have yet to order that super yacht.

The lies never stop and the truth rarely finds the surface. Is it no wonder people, including you and I have a poor understanding of who and what to trust.

I can run a dozen financial models on our current situation and they could all be flawed based on one piece of corrupt data. You do analysis on data provided, but by whom and to what intent?

Anyone and I mean anyone that says they understand what is going on among this cloud of lies may be just as deceptive in their analysis, certainly in their assumptions.

I have years ago driven in a blinding fog, so bad I could not see the hood of my car. This muck we experiencing has no ground to stand on and no limb to hand from, what are we to think. Much like that fog for me, we are waiting for it to lift.

All the best and thank you for standing up for us Gullible Saps. We have been called worse and survived. But it is always nice to hear a friendly voice.

Dr. John
