QUESTION: Marty, I wish to thanks in your warning about Blackrock. I took out 90% with the October excessive and the remainder in January when Socrates confirmed a Panic Cycle 12 months in 2026. I didn’t spend money on their Ukraine venture. I heard due to your recommendation to remain out they might not increase any cash. A BlackRock spokesperson admitted: “Clearly you can’t launch a fund with no cash in it”

ANSWER: You’re seeing all of them stopping withdrawals – Blackrock, Black stone, Morgan Stanley, and Blue Owl. They have been lending at excessive charges to companies which are in bother.

Trump’s advisors are biased Neocons. They see themselves as all highly effective. They by no means think about the potential of a loss and positively by no means collateral injury. Right here is Tony Blair’s apology for listening to Neocons for Iraq.
These folks by no means perceive markets and positively not capital flows. All they see is their tactical targets and by no means think about long-term. They’re going the identical another time. Israel is getting pummeled. As some level, Netanyahu might push the button for he has no alternative.
