All around the world, as markets cool, political unrest heats up. 

It’s all part of the "Greatest Depression": when people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they lose it… and the markets are losing it, too.

The global slowdown will accelerate and equity markets will decline.

It’s in the numbers.

Mergers and acquisitions have fallen 11 percent so far this year, as companies brace for periods of growing economic uncertainty. 

Born on third base and thought he hit a home run, like the Gangsters who run Wall Street, the banking system, governments, military, and police… Donald Trump had it all.

Rich as Richie Rich, he got everything he wanted… yet it was never enough.

Made millions, lost millions, Reality Show TV star… try as he did, “The Donald” couldn’t get in with the “in crowd.”

He built his own country clubs because the White Shoe Boys wouldn’t let him join theirs.

Even though Trump is one of them at their lowest, greedy levels:

One of our Top 10 Trends for 2019, “Ready to Explode” is getting bigger.

According to a study published in The Lancet earlier this year, over two billion people – nearly 30 percent of the world’s population – are either obese or overweight.  The study analyzed trending data from 188 countries. 

The highest percentage of obese people are in countries with the most modern economies. Congratulations USA: We are the World’s Heavyweight Champ. We’re #1! 

Another week, another stream of mainstream media headlines that simplify complex economic and geopolitical facts and factors, distilling them down to a reason or two as to why markets move and economies shift.

Last week, for example, after the Dow slumped on Tuesday, 8 October after reports of failing trade negotiations between the U.S. and China, markets rebounded when President Trump tweeted brighter trade deal prospects. 

However, the markets closed out on Friday, 11 October losing some gains following reports the deal would be achieved in “phases.”
