Summary

Last week ended on the most bullish note possible, the market breaking a new hist’ high of 3699 in the final minutes. S/t momentum settled fractionally positive.

Overnight futures have been a little choppy, leaning on the weaker side, as the market is s/t over-stretched.

The weekend news/reports have been further disturbing. The clampdown on those speaking out against the lockdowns, and (largely) untested vaccines is increasing. There is even talk within my own sick nation of the UK, of pushing terrorism charges against those who publicly argue against restrictions and the vaccines.

Yours truly is perhaps just one legislative act away from being deemed a terrorist. As I will continue to say… my society is not fit for survival. If I’m to die within the next year or two, at least I’ll be on the right side of history.

The Celente – with Hunter, merits attention…

For those with the time, its recommended.
In fact, I’ll say… MAKE the time.
