STOCK MARKET WATCH: Tuesday, 14 May 2024

7. Yeah, something just doesn't feel . . . . normal

And I write that subject line as someone who doesn't really know what "normal" in the stock market is supposed to be.

As I think about it, however, and falling back on what I think has transpired in this daily thread over the years, it seems there are two things going on right now that set tiny alarm bells ringing.

One is the "Truth" social IPO. There is no there there, yet it hasn't crashed. To me, this reeks to high heaven of corruption, and it means there are powers-that-be-out-there with the ability to effect that kind of manipulation.

Second is the demand that Elon Mush [sic] be paid billions upon billions in "compensation." Compensation for what? Breathing? Farting? Being stupid? To me, this is the ultimate corruption of capital. He can't conceivably spend that much money, so why? Why? Why? For the title of richest human being?

There's always a tipping point. I don't know if we're approaching it or not. Maybe we're standing by a tree and waiting for something that never arrives.
