Ponzi World (Over 3 Billion NOT Served)

The globalized economy is a colossal Ponzi Scheme in which the vast majority survive on the bread crumbs falling off the table. The possibility of 7 billion people achieving a consumption-oriented lifestyle is zero, so the World Bank conveniently set the poverty line at $1.25/day to legalize global slavery. As long as someone else's children are doing the suffering, it's "all good". Post-2008, this illusion was extended merely by plundering all future generations.

Ignoring the Lehman Indicators: In the Era of Risk Amplification

The dutiful money whores are following Wall Street straight into the abyss, no questions asked. All according to their "risk amplification plan"...

The "Lehman Event" was September 15th, 2008.
Which stocks peaked coincident with the end of the party last time? And which are peaking now?

Microsoft

Peaked early last time:

Ameritrade

Perfect timing in 2008. Peaked early this time?

Northern Trust

Perfect timing in '08:

Walmart

Perfect timing in '08. A tad wobbly now...

Molson Coors
Peaked just 3 months early in '08...

Transport Sector

Peaked 3 months early in 2008, but good timing in 2011. Still truckin' now (I know...)

Norfolk Southern

This is why I created this post. Good timing in 2008 and 2011 as well. Could turn out to be the best coincident indicator, only time will tell...

Recession stocks (consumer non-cyclical)

Perfect timing in '08. Double top in June and July so far...

JnJ
Perfect timing in '08 and 2011, looks to have peaked already now though...

IPOs

A great early warning indicator - always roll over early

Treasuries are always the best early warning indicator that shit's about to break, as they were in 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 etc. etc...

Risk is ignored and amplified
