Oh to have patience!

noun

“the quality of being patient, as the bearing of provocation, annoyance, misfortune, or pain, without complaint, loss of temper, irritation, or the like. An ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay: to have patience with a slow learner. Quiet, steady perseverance; even-tempered care; diligence: to work with patience”. Dictionary.com

Do you have patience? The ability to put off instant gratification is so important in life. In fact I’ve heard it explained as its the difference between successful people and low-class behavior. Saving for tomorrow. Looking ahead. Not being blindsided. Thinking ahead a little bit saves so much time and money. How many times have I run to the store for something, and forgot an item. Or only bought 1 when I should have bought 3.

Its not just for shopping. Its planning your career. Your retirement. Giving your kids a boost for say a house in their future. Governments don’t think ahead. Less than 5 years after they put in over a half million dollar pedestrian bridge on a bike path, they decided, “Hey! Let’s rip that out and continue the road!” (that within a year they will take out a lane and put in a bike lane)

Part of what I was thinking in all this is because I know what is coming. Having lived through sharp stock market declines in ’73, ’87, ’01 and ’08, I know what is coming this November and the following 6 months. All hell is going to break loose. The reelection of the most hated President in history, the court challenges, the resulting street violence, the attempted coup by the Democrats and RINOs, the appointment of a successor to Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg. A “perfect storm” is coming our way.

What is truly amazing to me is how it will all play out with perfect coordination and synchronicity. Once again, its all about ‘looking ahead’. Finally I am. Forewarned is forearmed. When we get within a week of November 3, pay attention.

As an example, you’ll get no help from CNBC. They are all, “La di da di da! Everything is fine!” As they blather on about Tesla this, Nikola that, Apple something else. The ‘Bullshit-O-Meter’ is off the charts. There’s an orchestrated crash coming in late October / early November, and nobody is talking about it. One morning around that time, about 10:30 in the morning, the market will plummet 10,000 points and they’ll suspend trading for the day.

Then, they’ll have to talk about it! They’ll act all like, “Where’d that come from?” People won’t have been prepped, they won’t be ready to buy, but the professional will. And another fleecing of the flock will have taken place. That’s not quite true. I think this one will go on for several weeks. I can see 50% coming off the market top of 29,100, easy. Would not at all be surprised to see 65%.

I’m just restless and impatient because until then, everything is too high. The market is too high to buy stocks, metals are too high to buy silver. We’re just in a holding pattern until the dam breaks. Talk radio really sucks right now. Radio hosts Armstrong & Getty, who I had thought would replace the morning idiot Jeff Angelo, turn out to be about as dumb. They think its okay that Louisville cops can bust into a house at 1 am and gun down Breonna Taylor.

FOX News is pointless. CNBC as noted is worthless. So ya better like the old movie channel! So until then its “hurry up and wait!”

Radio prediction!

I always thought Jan Mickelson was a lame radio talk show host on WHO 1040. Smart as a whip but always pulled back from the edge. Wouldn’t “go there”. His replacement Jeff Angelo said, “You think he’s lame? Hold my beer!” I’ll go out on a limb here, I don’t see Angelo having a show on WHO January 1, 2022. A year and a half. He brings nothing. We’re at a pivotal moment in the nation’s history, and the best he can come up the past week with is whether or not the Hawkeyes should play football this fall.

One of the most devastating pandemics since 1917. Social revolution on par with 1968. A pivotal moment in time, we are deciding this moment whether government belongs to the people, or not (the rise of Trump). An Iowa incumbent Representative loses his primary. An incumbent Iowa Senator is trailing to the Democrat challenger. And Angelo is talking football?

But what do I know? KASI in Ames had Trent Rice talk to himself for 2 hours everyday for years! [The more I think about that example with KASI, it just boggles the mind. They absolutely wasted 2 hours a day for years. They didn’t have some “special insight”. They weren’t privy to some insider knowledge, that was just dumb.] Talk radio along with the internet have been the 2 big communication stories of the past 30 years. There is big money in it. The corporate decision in so many markets to go with substandard hosts is a headscratcher.

[Like I say, I understand talk radio addiction. Spinning your wheels, in the misguided thought that things would ever improve. But listen to someone like ‘Armstrong and Getty’ in this timeslot. Don’t reward stupidity.]
