Howdy

Don't keep this out-of-body economic experience all to yourself.
Tell your friends about Stubby!

Howdy, this is Stubby. Welcome to my mailing list. It will be a pleasure to serve you.

I look forward to keeping you apprised of the latest scary (but potentially highly lucrative) developments in the economy as they relate to the overall 'big picture,' by which I mean the world's exponentially accelerating plunge into dystopia, not to mention the outstanding, once-in-a-lifetime, get-rich-quick trading and investing opportunity a true, cataclysmic economic collapse has to offer us.

I mean, if we're going to free fall down the rabbit hole into an economic New World Order, whether or not we nibbled the Red Pill, we should try to do it in style, right?

Everyone knows that if there's a tsunami coming, you run like h*ll for high ground. Well, that depends on what type of tsunami. If it's an economic tsunami of Biblical proportions that threatens to swamp civilization with monetary inflation, drown everyone in government debt-credit money and wash away a lifetime of hard work and savings, maybe the safest (and most lucrative) thing to do is to grab your golden surfboard, jump up on that sucker, hang ten and ride it all the way in!

But let's make sure we strike some balance here, because there are no doubt some liberals who will read this web site, and it's quite obviously that the looming financial apocalypse ― the one everyone can clearly see coming even without a pair of binoculars like the ones those 'lookouts' on the Titanic couldn't locate ― could not possibly have been planned.

Why, If I bought into that argument for one moment I'd be no better than those tin foil hat wacko conspiracy theorists who think we never landed on the Moon which, come to think of it, would have required traversing the highly lethal Van Allen Radiation Belt which could only be survived with thick lead shielding all around the capsule, a payload weight deficit that was well beyond the load-to-thrust capacity of 1960's rocket technology.

So please, don't lump me in with all that Internet trash and tarnish my pristine reputation for clear-headed thinking. Thank you.

Besides, it's just an illusion that such a grand confluence of so many complexly intertwining sociopolitical and economic factors as we see coming together today, almost as if by miracle!, could have been executed to such perfection (and right on schedule!) by a highly diverse, if well-hidden global team of plutocrats and oligarchs who keep pretending to be at odds with each other.

So if at any time you find yourself suspecting otherwise, please repeat after me: "It's all just a coincidence."

Be that as it may, since these developments are largely ignored by the CIABCNNBCBS news network, I feel it my public duty to help bring this information to you, the beleaguered taxpayer, without whose magnificent, continuing generosity the American Empire would not be able to maintain its almost goosestep-like march down the exact same, identical path that led to the inevitable collapse of ancient Rome when they, too, debased their currency, overextended their outposts, abandoned the rule of law, imprisoned dissidents, made enemies everywhere while feeding the lumpen their daily dose of 'bread and circus,' and did lots of other really bad stuff, all of which is probably just a huge coincidence when compared to today, so forget I even mentioned it.

Nothing to worry about.

LIST JOIN

If you requested to be added to this list yourself, thank you for you dubious good judgment. If I took the liberty of adding you, I can only beg your indulgence and humbly pray that you will allow me the opportunity to increase your growing, somehow creepy sense of apprehension that all is not quite right in Kansas, and thereby enhance your life through the sharing of information that, OK, may cause you a little severe dyspepsia now and then and would probably best be read under the covers with a flashlight, but nonetheless, may help you become extremely rich while those around you rend their garments as they watch their paper assets return to whence they came (nothingness), move in with the relatives and blame it all on you. Why? I don't know, Maybe because you didn't vote for their candidate.

REMOVE

If at any time  you wish to me be removed you have only to write to me here and put 'Dump me, Stubby' in the Subject line.

READERS WANT TO KNOW...

Some folks read this web site and are temporarily deranged enough to actually write and ask me (boy, this really cracks me up):

Q: What's with you, Stubby? Why all the doom and gloom? Were you born pessimistic ('nature') or did you become that way by paying attention to what's really going on ('nurture')?
 

A: I wish to state for the record that I am an incontrovertible optimist. In fact, I am highly optimistic that I'll make a boatload of money shorting the 'dollar' as it continues to crash and burn on its non-stop trip to oblivion, starting in 1971 when Tricky Dick Nixon's handlers had him pull the plug on the gold standard, plus make a whole lot more money on gold and silver when they head, not just  into orbit, but straight out of the solar system. Plus, when the stock market crashes and the Second Depression begins, I'm highly optimistic about making a lot of money on that , too, mostly by shorting the market with a nice basket of inverse ETFs on the major indexes. Plus, when the chicken hawks come home to roost and crude oil rocket past $100 a barrel, I'm highly optimistic that my select oil drilling stock LEAP options will spike straight up and make even richer. So I think it's very unfair to characterize me as pessimistic. In fact my entire web site is dedicated to reinforcing the optimism I have just expressed.

DISCLAIMER

I, Stubby Candles, am not licensed to give you financial or trading advice, mostly because (quoting Marx here... no not Karl, Groucho) I decline to accept a license from any authority that would have someone like me as a licensee. Everything on this web site is my opinion. Plus it's all free which makes it a bargain at twice the price. If you are crazy enough to listen to me, you are probably crazier than I am and I can take no responsibility for how far your gold rises, or whether mine goes even higher because I got in earlier.
