For the 1st time in months this
index has decided to slow down the pace at which it advances,
however it has not pulled back yet but in the last 3 months it has
only gained 12 points. It is still at a very high level and as
such this means that planned and random acts of terror, violence
and war will be on the rise. It also now means that we will start
to witness increased amounts of hard ships caused indirectly by
the effects of war or repression; the situation in Zimbabwe and
parts of North Africa are very good illustrations of this point.
The Adult index continues to roar to new highs
in the last 3 months it tacked on a 125 points moving from 1450 to
1575. As we stated many times before these new highs indicate that
society is moving into a zone that we have decide to label as the
“I am willing to do whatever it takes for money or material
gains zone’. One can see this with the increase in reality
type shows where the individuals are willing to do whatever it
takes to get a shot at fame, even indirectly selling themselves in
shows such as the bachelor or the bachelorette. The story below
quite clearly explains this new trend
A "brothel bus" that detectives said cruised
Miami Beach offering lap dances and drinks has taken its last
ride, police said on Wednesday. Riders were offered oral sex for
$100, according to Miami Beach police who impounded the limousine
bus and arrested its operator early on Sunday. The sleek black bus
cruised the South Beach neighbourhood popular among tourists and
club-goers, offering rides and unlimited drinks for $40. Aboard,
undercover detectives said they found a fully stocked bar and
several young women who stripped down to reveal G-strings stuffed
with cash and offered to perform sex acts.
Full Story. More examples of this change in attitude can be
found under the news sections; read the story titled “entire life
sold for 192,000 pounds and single mom selling home and heart on
the internet”.
Just
like the Adult Index it has been on a tear in the last few months
and indeed we stated long ago that these two indices seem to work
hand in hand. The sense of feeling broke is going to hit a lot of
individuals because for too long they lived a life that was well
beyond their means and now that they are forced to live within
their means it feels like poverty. Remember if you are used to
drinking wine instead of water then if you are suddenly forced to
drink tap water instead of bottled water the blow especially the
psychological blow is very hard indeed. For many living within
their means now is akin to leading a life of hardship.
We wander how most Americans would react if
they had to pay 12.50 plus for a gallon of gas. While this might
seem like a terrible joke, the reality is that individuals in
Turkey are currently paying this and more for a gallon of gas.
When we refer to a gallon we are referring to the American version
of the gallon which is 3.89 litres; if we refer to the British
version of a gallon which is 5 litres then the figure would be in
excess of 15 dollars. The most interesting part is that instead
of rioting and crying, individuals there have adapted to this
trend. Roughly 80% of all cars driven have engines that are 2
litres or smaller (1600CC to 2000CC); in fact we found the most
common engine was the 1600CC engine.
Please continue to live 1-2 standards below
your means and put this money aside into long term investments
such as Silver bullion or Palladium bullion whenever the
opportunity presents itself. By opportunity we mean use any and
all strong pull backs to add to your bullion positions.
