Explaining the Stock Markets in a COVID-19 Setting

Wall Street Support, Main Street Lock-Down : Fair Enough?

As regular American citizens watch their credit card debt mount and Netflix library thin out after weeks of abuse, many are starting to get wind of something foul in the air emanating from Wall Street.

That is, as conditions deteriorate in the living room, the US stock market seems to be defying the laws of gravity.

In short, DC, the Fed and the Wall Street crowd keep counting their wealth while borrowing your pennies.

The media will tell the masses that the stimulus coming out of DC is for the benefit of the country, but as the reports I’ll link to below will make clear, the real beneficiaries are corporate debt zombies and Wall Street front-runners, not COVID-avoiding regular Janes and Joes losing their jobs by the millions.

Capitalism, as we once knew it, is now dead. It has been summarily replaced by central banks tossing trillions at a debt problem, with alas: More debt…

In the rigged game between Wall Street and Main Street, guess who's winning?

Wall Street rises (and winds) on IOU's rather than growth and earnings.

Sad, but oh sooo true.

The Central Bank Bazooka’s

The Fed has already created over 2 trillion in fiat dollars over the last few weeks alone in a crazy policy of Unlimited QE.

Japan, having declared a state of emergency, just pumped in another trillion in fiat paper.

Germany too is promising unlimited support for small businesses, as the EU considers a $540 Billion loan program.

Here in the US, there are fewer and fewer people actually making real money, as the WSJ reminds us.

Over 16 million are now officially unemployed and tens of millions more are simply surviving on credit cards whose interest rates at 18% are far less friendly than the near 0% rates the Fed is handing its Wall Street banks and other corporate cronies.

Meanwhile, even fat cats like Goldman Sachs are warning that the downturn to come will likely dwarf the 2008 crisis by 4X.

A Tapped-Out Small Business Administration (SBA)

In the meantime, DC is tossing loans to businesses like clowns tossing candy at a kid’s party, and the SBA’s $350 billion relief fund is almost fully tapped out.

Apparently, the SBA is “carefully reviewing” business loans at a rate 109 per minute based upon the 6,547 applications submitted to the SBA for each hour of the last 3 weeks.

In other words, money and debt is being tossed around like crazy, and the end result will just be more debt handouts (and defaults) to buy more time.

In other words, things are going to get much worse after this short-term sugar high of just more un-payable debt.

Links to Facts Rather Than Hype

As outlined in more detail here, the Fed is effectively part of massive Ponzi-Scheme of fraud and can-kicking which is slowly being discovered by average Americans in increasingly higher rates.

Again, rather than just wonder if such observations are a rant rather than a fact, I urge you again to simply confirm the data for yourselves in this critical link here on Fed Fraud.

Furthermore, I am not suggesting in any way that emergency measures and economic steps are not needed in the backdrop of COVID-19.

What I am saying is that the emergency measures are largely being used to prop up Wall Street rather than Main Street; but to make such sad declarations without evidence is useless.

Which is precisely why I urge you to simply click on the following links here, here and here to make your own judgments and draw your own conclusions based upon math rather than adjectives.

My aim is not to spread fear, but awareness.

I am not alone, but I am uniquely qualified to speak of what I know and see, as I am speaking as a Wall Street insider, not a blog writer.

Furthermore, I offer solutions, not just anger, and you can see those solutions here.

Is the Cure Worse than the Disease?

Some would argue that as real as the Coronavirus is, (and it is real), the political and financial cures being employed in DC to address this illness are worse than the disease itself.

I’ll let each of you decide upon that for yourselves, but I’d strongly urge you to read the following report on the Stock Market PSYOP for yourselves, and carefully consider each link provided therein to consider the facts for yourselves.

If you read each line carefully, your thoughts on the current COVID-19 disaster and the DC response to the same, be you red or blue, are likely to be far more informed, and far more enraged.

Best,

Matthew Piepenburg
