"Where is the money?"

 The US military-industrial complex is making massive gains as a result of the war in Ukraine and other global conflicts, with weapons manufacturers enjoying soaring profits.

Data released by the State Department shows that US weapons sales to other countries rose from $103.4 billion in 2021 to $153.7 billion in 2022.

 

Accept that price is unpredictable. Don't fall into the trap of thinking you can predict the market. Instead, focus on managing risk and dealing in probabilities.

Uprise, by asking yourself "Why?"

Someone once described it this way: Sometimes you can be too focused on climbing the tree, and not focused enough on whether you're climbing the right tree in the first place!

It's funny how many books and courses and videos there are to help you become a better investor, but very few of them help you figure out the "why".  And that's arguably the most important question of all.

I hope you can spend some time this week thinking about the why.  We can do all sorts of things to help improve your decision making, help manage your portfolio risk, help minimize the impact of behavioral biases, help improve your investment returns.

But first, you need to think about the Why.

"survivors"

 

"Many traders seem to use data on the economy, interest rate curves, volume or other things to decide where prices in their markets will go. I just look at the price and let all that other data be what it is. It may or may not influence prices, but if I just concentrate on prices, I’m tying my actions to the one thing that either makes a profit or loss in my portfolio. There’s less likelihood of being out of step with whatever the market is currently doing."

The real skill is not in making money. The real skill is in keeping it.

 

Now we'll see if this holds or folds.

purpose

 “a stable and generalized intention to accomplish something that is at once personally meaningful and at the same time leads to productive engagement with some aspect of the world beyond the self.” 

Based on history, US recession coming very soon.

"The Philly Fed State Coincident Index fell in 22 states in October. When the average 1-month index has fallen to 50% or less, the economy is usually at or near the early stages of a recession."

Today's surge on CPI, while strong enough to carry a little bit further in the near term, is a junk off the low rally led by the beaten down past leaders that are in strong down trends. To enjoy a sustainable new bull market, we need fresh new shares leading the charge.

long - way to go-)
