Do you not know how to interpret what is "SPECULATOR FICTION".... ? you don't see any massive push to build anything in America, Malls are Closing, and Stores of All Types are closing all across the nation., and one can't find anything in the stores that remain, which is not 80% Foreign Made.
Tech and Advertising is the biggest business in America, and Next its Weapons, Drugs and Big Medicine and Insurance.. All subject to "paper shuffling" and "fiction promotions".
There is no more "OVER EXPANSION AND OVER STOCKING, to create a delusion that the economy is moving, all that did was overburden otherwise good performing stores, with debt and fiction... they wholesale'd it out to secondary $1 stores, and other discount markets, who eventually took over the big box stores customer base and others bought it up and sell it online for even less.
The sheer value loss of Real Estate Dollars from Closed Malls,has not even shown its full impact on how it will take down the communities surrounding them, that will show itself more in 2018. [Font="palatino Linotype'] go look at the communities around recently closed malls, and those that have been closed in the past 3 yrs). Many never recovered after the 2007-2008 Crash, take not of the many "$1 stores" that are creeping closer and closer to the moderate once upon a time middle class communities", all such things tell a story, and that story is being missed by many Americans.

Value drops when such commercial centers become giant empty eye sores with no means to become anything but deteriorated messes. Paint peels, and grass grow in the parking lots, home prices drop and other business close and some move and some just go out of business. The infrastructure is less maintained and what results is an expanding ghetto in the making. most can't see reality, for trying to hang on to nostalgia.... while reality grows vines upon around their feet and they find themselves trapped in a declining environment, unaware until it too late, how many jobs, relied on what made those shopping malls function. We can't see when we need to, and become to mind blind to see as it is, and consume outself with fictions, as if the "wealthy white man is going to come to the rescue"... Well, after 100's of years he did not... and when Unions and Such things Made him be responsible, most of you destroyed the unions and he had nothing to make him be responsible, to state, city, community, citizens or employees... so he outsourced, and now sell to you cheap goods at dollar stores, and you can't see your whole world has declined by your own doing.
American are groomed to buy delusions.. Fixed Stores never figured it out.. Not to let Stockbrokers-push them to borrow against fiction and over expand, and over stock.... and the only winners were the bankers, lawyers and the shysters paper spinners who make money from the duping of stable business.
Pay attention to what is real... not the fiction of a stock ticker... There is nothing selling on the Stock Market than has enough production and sales to even come close to meeting the speculator valuation.
The only samart business in America is those who did not go public and over expand, and those who did go public, but run their business from actual numbers, and not borrow against stock ticker fiction.
Pay attention to Warren Buffett... he does not go crazy when the stock ticker goes up and over burden his companies. He stays on course, and make sure that ACTUAL PRODUCTION AND ACTUAL SALES sustains his business, that's why they continue to grow.... he could care less what the Stock Ticker has to say.
Most companies could fire the CEO... and get a robot to play games based on a Stock Ticker. The only companies that will survive the next Crash will be "well managed small business that provide quality service and durable products, and Large Companies that did not Over-expand, and who do not pay their Executive Million upon Millions and do not give out stock options in the Millions to hired executive employees.
The others that want to be "everything all at once" and are led like sheep set up to be shaved, to over-expand in markets.. with no proven sustainable market.. they come in and get "novelty profit" and think it sets a trend, and in less than two years, they are struggling, and eventually, they are led to downsize, that's after they have lowered their product quality, disbanded any services, and raised their prices... all of which spells doom. But this is the script taught in the University System, and they follow it with the same conviction they were trained as in playing kiss up to a professor for a grade. They come up as nothing more than "Clone Scripted Minions", who are part of the fleecing Machine. many implode, and other are word spinner who take the game from one company to the next, trying to fleece a profit gain form themselves and a quick exit when the truths starts to unfold.
If you want to believe in business, believe in those who built it, and who operate it and do it honest and fair... not some university graduate who has taken the helm over something he did not build, has not invested in and has no vested interest other than protecting his stock options and bleeding it for an exaggerated pay day, while looking for a bonus... all driven by a criminal looting designed contract.
Look at the business that is "WELL MANAGED" is not giving the company away to executives with excessive stock options, Do Not pay 10's of Million to a single individual as if they are some guru, and then you will find companies that respect itself as a business and value the integrity of its organization and does not put its complete trust in a over zealous pompous arse, riding a title. Good Companies don't over expand, they don't go out building to push a stock ticker... they know the Stock Ticker is not the measure of their business, but Actual Production and Actual Sales is the measure of their business, and if they want to keep it, they maintain a standard of quality, respect their employees and do not waste their profits on hiring criminal firms to lead them into the abyss.
Hope you are ready for the {Profit taking coming } that sends the house of cards tumbling down. The wealthy are always greedy and they will take profit and watch much crash, so they can claim a higher place in the "king of the hill game".... This time... the recovery won't be so quick... and the dollar won't survive with the same level of being intact as before.... We may even loose the status of top Reserve Currency and have no choice but to accept being number 2... which then severely inhibits our ability to just "print money" because we can.
INFLATION... is a MONSTER.... AND THE EVIL THAT DRIVES IT IS A BEAST, that once had the monster on a leash and then it unleashes it.
