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.

Ferrari: Off to the races...

History's largest IPO: Alibabylon

Since the all time high in the S&P last May, every time Alibaba rolls over, the market rolls over as well. Just something to consider given the slight downtrend...

"But we're decoupled from China, and the rest of the world..."

Price / Volume w/Alibaba:
Liquidity peaked with the Baba IPO, now they go down in lockstep...

All of which confirms the count
