It has been less than six months and I want to thank the 1800+ Subscribers who support the Substack! Going into the holidays I wanted to put together a special promotion which will cost you nothing now, but help show support for the work I am doing.

Pledging requires a credit card but it is not charged until Premium goes live
What will premium include? (at minimum)
Watchlist(s) (Bullish, Bearish, Price levels, if then scenarios)
Webcasts covering charts of all above
Additional Premium only content
Timing: promotion good through Jan 1, 2024

Summary of the day
The title wasn’t a typo. Someone is withholding the truth.

Jobs data beat this morning. It was the Goldilocks print. Not too hot not too cold. Won’t trigger Powell to raise, yet Americans are still gainfully employed, is the deduction
Jobs data has been revised down almost every time this year after the fact!
Consumer credit has never been higher in the history of Homosapien
This has been the longest period of yield curve inversion in financial market history
$VIX is pricing in no landing
#Bitcoin $BTC is pricing in a useless faux currency

The last time Gross Federal Debt as Percent of Gross Domestic Product was at this level, World War II was ending and we went deep into debt to defeat the enemy.
2024 financial markets are 100% going to either move violently lower or higher. I don’t expect a tight range. The real world experience may also be very extreme. It is time to get our own houses in order and be strong mentally, spiritually, physically, & financially so that we can provide for our families.
