Okay, so I am finally getting around to make a post about the results of some of the lab testing we have been doing. I've had the results for a bit, but I've been holding off on officially releasing them because frankly it stresses me out these days. It's the same song and dance every time, and it is one I have been doing for a decade now. I release results showing other products are not what they claim, then people attack me and claim I am lying to sell more product. Sometimes the attacks are relatively harmless, and just raise my blood pressure a bit for a day or two. Other times they are death threats to me, my family, and my team. It's not fun sometimes. You'll notice I don't do this nearly as much as I did back in the day on /r/Nootropics. I was younger and more gung-ho then, and had a lot less on my plate. Plus, my family and team kind of pleaded with me to stop doing it so much because of all the attacks and threats. This is why I have not been releasing things like this as much these days. It's not because product quality magically got better in the industry, I can tell you that much! Anyway, let's just get into it.
I woke up this morning ready to jump right into this pos…

I just saw that! I wonder what it’ll mean for the LTF PA. I’m macro bullish as can be but short term, I have no idea. There’s a lot going on in the world right now and we might officially be in a recession after 2nd quarter GDP numbers come out on July 28th. The news might cause more panic for all markets.

Recession in the US isn't really a black and white thing. In the UK it is clearly defined as negative economic growth for two consecutive quarters. In the US it is just: "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the market, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales." That's not really clear. What's "significant?" How much longer than "a few months" does it need to be? What if employment doesn't drop, but economic activity does? People are pretty focused on the black and white of: "Are we in a recession or not?" However, I think people are missing the forest for the trees. It's like Jerome Powell saying inflation was transitory. Yeah, no shit. Everything is transitory. It's meaningless to state. The economy is much more complex than in a recession/not in a recession. Even so, everyone out there thinks we are already in one, so the news that we are "officially" in one is not really going to change much.
I think we are in peak fear right now. I've literally seen people saying we are going into a decade long depression, and we need to be stocking up on canned goods and ammo. I see people seriously saying Bitcoin is going to $0, and that any risk-on assets are going to plummet. I see people saying that the USD is going to go into hyperinflation and be worthless soon. I see people saying that housing is going to drop by 70%, yet at the same time saying they are waiting for that to happen to scoop up cheap houses... I think everyone has gone fucking insane because of 2008. I think everyone just expects it to happen again, and happen worse. The issue is that we are in a very different place this time. The situation and facts have totally changed. Inflation is primarily being caused by energy prices increasing because of the Russia/Ukraine shit, profiteering by the energy and shipping companies, increases in rent/housing cost, stupid tariffs, and supply shortages due to the pandemic and shifting labor markets. Raising interest might slow house price growth, but it does nothing to the rest. The government just needs to remove the tariffs and pass a bill preventing profiteering by energy and shipping companies. That would cut inflation faster than anything else, and it wouldn't have to tank the economy to do it. Interest rates for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage are around 6% right now, which has slowed the increases in housing prices. It's probably good there. Going higher is only going to fuck people's ability to afford houses, pushing more people further into rent slavery. Could markets panic further? Sure. Could I be wrong, and we are on the precipice of the entire world financial system coming crashing down? I guess. However, I don't see it. I see panic and fear not seen in markets for a long time. Bitcoins RSI hit the lowest it has ever been in history, and this is the longest we have ever been under the 200WMA. I remember 2008. I remember the sentiment leading up to it. It was nothing like this. Everyone was scrambling to get into things before they went up more. Nobody was talking about the music stopping, other than a few people that were being ignored. Today literally everyone is online saying the sky is falling. Everyone is saying we are in a recession and things are going to crash down even more. Generally when everyone around you is freaking the fuck out, it's a good time to go the opposite direction. When people were spending millions of dollars on monkey picture NFTs and saying that DOGE and SHIB were going to the moon, that was a good time to really think maybe the party was about to come to an end. Now that we have people saying BTC is going to $0 and was a total scam, and that the world economy is going to go back to the stone age, it's probably time to start thinking maybe we are near the bottom.
