For 5 years, you need to look at actual chart breakouts on monthly or quarterly time frame to avoid opportunity costs. If you zoom out though, precious metals, oil and commodities should do great.

🦔A Nikkei investigation found that Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle have $1.65 trillion in debt that doesn't appear on their balance sheets, more than the $1.35 trillion they officially report. These are GPU contracts, data center leases, and joint ventures that don't count as debt under accounting rules until the facilities go live. Meta's hidden debt is $420 billion, triple its reported debt. Oracle's grew 30-fold in four years. All five declined to comment.

My Take
Nikkei examined the actual filings and put a number on something the BIS already flagged as "shadow borrowing" back in March. These companies owe more off their balance sheets than on them, and the accounting rules let them keep it that way until the data centers go live. That's legal, but it means investors looking at quarterly earnings this week are seeing less than half the picture.

Four of these five report earnings in the next two weeks. The reported debt will look manageable. The $1.65 trillion in footnotes won't make the headlines. But when those data centers start operating, the leases hit the books all at once. If AI demand comes in below projections, those facilities get marked down and the losses land on the investors and insurance policyholders who funded the construction through private credit and project bonds without realizing how much total exposure they were carrying.

Protests in Ukraine. Normal people never want war, no matter what country they might be from. It’s always the politicians in their offices who send other people’s kids to die for them. Ukrainians have had enough of Zelensky.

Maxine Waters is 87 years old and is once again seeking another term in Congress. This is not about her age. There are people in their eighties who are far more capable than those decades younger. The real issue is that Washington has transformed public office into a lifetime career.

The Founding Fathers never intended Congress to become a country club where politicians collected paychecks for half a century. Public office was supposed to be service, not a career. They feared concentrated power, which is why the president is restricted by term limits. Yet members of Congress can remain in office indefinitely, building political machines that become almost impossible to defeat. There is something fundamentally wrong with that.

[Martin A. Armstrong @ArmstrongEcon]

History is very clear on this. Republics do not collapse because of one bad leader. They collapse when the political class becomes permanent. Rome reached that stage long before the empire officially fell. The government existed to preserve itself. Politicians fought over power while the people paid the price. Every empire eventually reaches the point where those in office believe they are entitled to remain there forever. That is always a warning sign that the system is in decline.

The divide isn't rich vs. non-rich. It's productive people vs. those who exploit the system for personal gain.

The crooks, parasites, politicians and rent-seekers who exist at every level of society.

Fast and easy learning is an illusion.

Ultimately, the goal is to build insights and reach wisdom, which only comes with years of effort by overcoming learning challenges and difficulties.

If it's easy, you're just memorising information, which is very far from wisdom.

The UNPRECEDENTED FRAUD and DECEPTION in the known history of humanity

[Valerie Anne Smith @ValerieAnne1970]

Dr. Mike Yeadon, former Vice President & Chief Scientist at Pfizer, declares: there was NO pandemic — it was a coordinated lie to inject 5.5 billion people with an intentionally dangerous substance.

According to the damning research by scientist Denis Rancourt, these injections have caused OVER 17 MILLION DEATHS globally — roughly 1 death per 800 injections.

This is not a side effect. This is a catastrophe.

How many more graves before the world demands accountability? The evidence is overwhelming and the body count keeps rising.

Share this NOW. Protect your loved ones. Stop the shots.

When you come to me to learn, I have one goal; that is to get you to care. To care about finding the truth. To care about about finding the best in yourself. To care about the right things. Because once you care, and you care about the right things, then change happens very quickly and easily. But most people not only don't care, they don't even know what to care about. Change starts with caring... about the right things.

It is becoming questionable whether elections are free anymore. We will see with the midterms just how corrupt this has become. You have left‑leaning judges even striking down basic fundamentals, such as the requirement that someone must be a citizen to vote. I lived in London and Tokyo as well as Hong Kong, Sydney, Thailand, and Switzerland. Never was I allowed to vote in their elections just because I lived there for a while.

[Martin A. Armstrong @ArmstrongEcon]

Over 200 million died the last time the LEFT sought to seek power and force their will upon everyone. They never learn from history because the do not have the courage to break into your home and rob you at gun point, so the tell everyone they are a victim and vote for them and they will rob the rich using the police to enforce what they would do personally out of material jealousy.

The Rothschild Central Banking Hidden Money Matrix: How Big Banks and Big Government Steals Your Wealth Through the Federal Reserve Scam

A 30 min documentary on how the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and Globalist Elites created the U.S. Federal Reserve to enslave American citizens and bankrupt our nation to destroy it from within.

People are finally waking up to the realization that our modern monetary system is nothing more than a massive fraudulent parasitic scheme designed to siphon wealth from hardworking citizens to banks and government elites and they've been rising up to fight back.

The Federal Reserve, despite its government sounding name, is a private banking corporation owned by major central bankers who live in England and is NOT a government agency.

Created in 1913, the same year the income tax amendment was passed (no coincidence), this system enables the continuous theft of your purchasing power through a complex web of Treasury bonds, Federal Reserve checks written from empty accounts, and fractional reserve banking.

When the government needs money, it issues bonds — IOUs — that banks purchase. These banks then sell these bonds to the Federal Reserve, which creates currency out of thin air by writing checks on accounts with zero balances.

This newly created currency is multiplied through fractional reserve banking, where banks can lend out up to 90% of depositors' money while still showing the full amount in accounts.

This results in a monetary system requiring ever-increasing debt, with more debt in existence than currency to pay it off - a mathematical impossibility designed to enslave us through perpetual taxation.

Our founding fathers fought against central banking for this very reason, which is why the Constitution specified only gold and silver as money.

Today's system violates these principles, robbing us of our LIBERTY and transferring wealth to bankers who, as a former Bank of England director allegedly stated, "own the earth" and "with the flick of a pen will create enough money to buy it back again" if it's taken away.

The worst part, our system was ALL created and owned by disgusting satan worshipping cannibalistic child trafficking pedophiles.

This is the system you're all assimilating together to help President Trump fight against and abolish, but there are those trying to DIVIDE YOU from doing so.

„Es gibt keine Gesellschaft mehr. Was es gibt, ist eine transnationale Sicherheitselite, die damit beschäftigt ist, die Welt mit Ihren Steuergeldern unter sich (und ihresgleichen) aufzuteilen. Die Kriegstreiber in diesem Land und anderen Ländern haben ein Bündnis geschlossen, um Geld aus den USA, der EU, aus jedem NATO-Staat heraus- und zu den eigenen (Finanz-)Eliten zurückzuschleusen, indem sie es im Blut der Menschen waschen, das in den Kriegen in Afghanistan, dem Irak, Somalia, dem Jemen, Pakistan vergossen wird.“

Jüngere werden vielleicht erschrecken, und vielleicht auch Vergessliche unter den Älteren, weil die Sätze, die Julian Assange 2011 auf der Antikriegsdemonstration in London gesagt hat, Sätze sind, die er gestern gesagt haben könnte. Sie beschreiben nämlich ein Muster: das Muster westlicher Wertekriege und ihrer drei wiederkehrenden Wesensmerkmale: Die Werte, mit denen sie legitimiert werden, gibt es nämlich nicht - jedenfalls nicht bei denen, die vorgeben, sie mit vorgehaltener Waffe zu vertreten. Und: Sie - ausnahmslos Angriffs- & Profitkriege - werden von der als „Verteidigungsbündnis“ vermarkteten NATO „antizipiert“, orchestriert & exekutiert und ziehen die weitere Vermögenskonzentration in den Händen Weniger nach sich, womit sie - ausnahmslos, aber nicht ausschließlich - der Profitmehrung professioneller Kriegsprofiteure dienen.

Immer dasselbe - in zeitlichen Schleifen, auratischen Wellen, historischen Episoden. Dasselbe eine Muster, wieder und wieder: dieselben knarzenden Argumentationsschemata & Narrationsabsolutismen. Dieselben Behauptungen, Tatsachenverdrehungen, Selbstvergewisserungen.

Dazu der immer selbe Raub an der Gesellschaft und den Menschen, die sie tragen. Dieselbe soziale Verarmung, dieselbe geistige Leere und dieselbe ethische Verelendung. Und immer dasselbe Elitenbereicherungs-, „Sicherheits“-, „Feindes“- & Tötungsmuster. Wieder und wieder und wieder.

Wir, die wir alt genug sind, uns (mit Assange) an die letzte Welle westlicher Wertekriege zu erinnern, können den erinnerungslosen Jüngeren heute nur eines sagen, nämlich: dass sie sich einmal erinnern werden. Wenn sie, nachdem (in 15 Jahren) die nächste Welle westlicher Wertekriege losgebrochen sein wird, ihrerseits auf erinnerungslose Junge treffen.

Assange hatte schon damals und hat noch heute recht. Wir müssen eigene Netzwerke und Bündnisse schließen, um unsere Werte gegen den eigennützigen Zynismus der Kriegstreiber zu behaupten. In diesem Land und anderen Ländern.

Heute vor 2 Jahren war Julian Assange nach 14jähriger politischer Verfolgung & Haft endlich wieder frei.

"Dr. Fink: Rdeča zvezda ne spada na državno proslavo"
Najbolj iskreno izražena intimna volja Slovencev ter drugih državljanov Slovenije je bil plebiscit 23.12.1990. Kar 95,71% udeležencev je glasovala PROTI rdeči zvezdi, kar je predstavljalo 88,5% vseh, ki smo imeli volilno pravico.
Potem pa so na "igrišče" stopili mali zlodej ter vsa njegova mafija iz Kumrovca in namesto druge Švice imamo danes približek Venezuele ter hlapčevanje vsakemu, ki pride mimo. Še najbolj perverzno je hlapčevanje dekadentnim Prusom, ki so bili, in ostajajo, izvor zla.
Ampak jutri je nov dan. Mladi rodovi, učite se iz zgodovine!! Prusi so nas vedno imeli za drugorazredne, in še danes je tako. Zato velja, vsak EUR iz Bruslja je EUR manj suverenosti slovenskega naroda.

PRÄSIDENT PUTINS BOTSCHAFT AN DIE DEUTSCHE REGIERUNG UND DAS DEUTSCHE VOLK

So wird der Gnadenstoß versetzt – ohne Waffen, verbal… 🥳

„Wir wollen euch nicht angreifen! Warum sollten wir? Diese Zeiten sind längst vorbei! Jeder, der noch bei Verstand ist und klar denken kann, versteht das.

Erstens:

Ihr habt bereits Staatsschulden in Höhe von 2,5 Billionen Euro, und kein seriöser Wirtschaftswissenschaftler hat eine Ahnung, wie ihr die jemals zurückzahlen wollt. Und jetzt wollt ihr weitere 1 Billion Euro aufnehmen, um euch gegen uns zu bewaffnen. Wollt ihr, dass das russische Volk diese Schulden bezahlt? Niemals!

Zweitens: Euer Land ist voller Millionen von Migranten, die euch 50 Milliarden Euro im Jahr kosten. Sollte das russische Volk dafür zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden?

Drittens: Ein beträchtlicher Teil eurer Bevölkerung ist so verrückt, dass er glaubt, das Klima durch Fahrradfahren und Insektenessen beeinflussen zu können. Vielleicht ließe sich dieser massive Hirnschaden beheben, aber das würde uns auch etwas kosten.“ viel.

Viertens: – Euer Bildungssystem war einst vorbildlich. Jetzt findet in vielen Klassen praktisch kein Unterricht mehr statt, weil fast niemand mehr Deutsch spricht.

Fünftens: – Eure Infrastruktur verfällt, und ihr kommt mit den Reparaturen nicht voran.

Sechstens: – Eure Eisenbahnen waren einst der ganze Stolz der Welt. Jetzt fahren eure Züge wie in Indien.

Siebtens: – Wir brauchen eure berühmten Ingenieure nicht. Während der Sanktionen haben wir gelernt, dass wir ohne sie auskommen können. Sollten wir sie aber doch brauchen, wenden wir uns an China. Dort sind sie nicht nur billiger, sondern auch besser.

Achtens: – Ihr habt weder Rohstoffe noch Energiequellen. Warum sollten wir also euer Land erobern? Um Probleme zu lösen, die wir sonst gar nicht hätten? Realistisch betrachtet: Selbst wenn ihr uns rufen, kapitulieren und weiße Fahnen hissen würdet, würden wir trotzdem nicht kommen!
