Seeing wealth inequality grow makes me question my role. Am I helping create a fairer system, or just profiting from it at the expense of others?

Equality is unfair. We’re all different. To make everyone equal would be a gross injustice. And always involves handicapping the most productive, the most able. Example: I can’t play basketball like michael jordan, so to make us equal in basketball you would have to cut off his legs and maybe an arm too. Feel no guilt for what you have earned. It’s yours.

Lol. Marx was an awful human being. In other words, if you make something, you have to right to it. If you don’t create anything, you have a right to what others create simply because you need it. It’s slavery.

Wealth comes from asset growth. In order for assets to grow, the amount people are willing to pay for that asset needs to increase. As asset value increases, wealth increases. And then there’s debt. There are definitely opportunity gaps from whatever school you go to when you’re a kid. But anyone who takes education seriously throughout their life, who understands the idea of having cash before you buy something, that is focused on improving themselves versus looking like they’re rich; those folks typically do not go into a ton of debt. The folks who have taken on a ton of debt just to look rich, which leads to the government printing money, is the reason why there is such an inequality of wealth. If you study powerful nations, all the way back to the ming dynasty, you will see the trends of debt and inequalities in wealth. The best thing that you can do to close the wealth gap is to teach people about only spending the money they have, and working really hard on themselves to acquire skills that can solve problems of people with money. Those people then put money in their pockets.

Start a charity or a non-profit.

If you follow the cryptocurrency market, or even have been just taking an interest lately, with the Bitcoin "halvening," you should check out Pi.

If you haven't heard of Pi, it's a new cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin), developed by a bunch of Stanford PhDs. What makes it really interesting is that you can still mine this coin, using just the processing power of your phone, unlike just about every other coin out there. (Contd)

Long time in the making; but we finally sold off from our 50% HWB short. We had two tests at the 3400 level, getting as high as 3420 today before the sell off. Momentum and pessimism over lack of stimulus could take us to the 3107 target quickly, nearly a 10 percent decline over the next month. Stay short my friends. It's going to get bumpy.
