Lots going on right now in the world:

Lots going on right now in the world.

The Australian central bank claimed insolvency but said it’s not an issue because they can print money.

Europe is screwed with rising energy costs heading into the winter.

Their banks are on the brink of collapse due to a global margin call on debt.

As the Fed raises rates, it will get worse.

Pensions in the UK were hours away from being liquidated.

There’s a possible revolution going on in Iran.

Russia’s thinking about using nukes.

Gamestop volume has been drier than the Sahara dessert, meaning there’s no liquidity in the system.

The US Dollar is squeezing as per the ‘dollar milkshake’ theory as foreigners are leaving other countries and buying dollars, while the Fed is raising rates and removing liquidity from the system.

The Saudis have cut oil production, even with oil prices skyhigh across the world.

Developing nations are being crushed by higher rate hikes.

US inflation is still a massive problem that’s not slowing down.

The Reverse Repo market, which removes dollars from the system, recently hit 2.4 trillion. Look at this graph, it’s insane.

Credit Suisse is on the brink of insolvency. Think Lehman but bigger.

Chinese housing has become a massive deflationary real estate bubble that could affect their banks. 

The Fed monetary policy is affecting everyone around the world, and that’s no longer deniable.

The Fed is stuck between a rock and a bigger rock. They keep either raising rates to pop the market or keep printing US money into inflation, as I’ve discussed for over a year.

The end feels like it’s coming soon.

It’s going to get so bad and most of the public doesn’t realize it.

This next crisis will make 2008 look like a trial run.

For me, quite exciting having written about all of this for over a year and a half.

From a world perspective, absolutely terrifying.

So many are unaware.

The outcomes won’t be good short term.

Long term we’ll get there, but there’s going to be a lot of crises in the next decade plus that will reshape the world forever.

There’s lots going on right now in the world.
