Here is what will most likely occur today as the markets open at 9:30 AM. After experiencing a massive selloff yesterday, the DOW, NASDAQ and S&P will most likely go green as mainstream media pundits and personalities try to assure everyone that we are not about to undergo the Great Depression 2.0.
What they are not telling you is about this phenomenon called a dead cat bounce. During the Great Depression of 1929, there was a selloff on Thursday, October 24th only for the markets to rebound the following day. That is because there are always fools who try to time the markets rushing in during a selloff in order to buy up distressed stocks at the bottom so they can ride the wave back up.
For the most part, this is a pretty sound trading strategy; this is the exact playbook I undertook for the past year as I would buy stocks that selloff between 10-15% on any given day so that I could profit once the feeding frenzy wore off and people decide to repurchase a stock that is considered oversold.
80% of the time, this playbook worked out for me. Only problem is, the 20% of the time I was wrong, I lost big, so the net-net result was that I barely broke even. Let’s say 80% of the time I made an average return of 5% on these investments. Not bad right? Only problem is that 20% of the time, I got fleeced because the selloff I tried to time left a huge bite mark on my ass as a 15% selloff begat a 30% selloff in the end.
Trying to catch a falling knife in this way is an idiot’s gambit. It’s a 50/50 proposition, if you are trying to catch a dead cat bounce during the onset of a Great Depression 2.0, the gamble that would work during regular trading sessions could spell your doom if a Brown Shewan is indeed upon us.
This was an expensive lesson Wall Street gamblers learned on Black Monday, October 28th, 1929. Instead of cashing out and taking a loss on Friday, many rushed back in thinking they could make profits as the markets rebounded. They made a purchase and sealed their fate; once the markets closed on Friday, they had no recourse over the weekend as they were not able to make a transaction until 9:30 AM on Monday, October 28th.
Fools and their money soon parted on Black Monday as the opening bell transformed into a death knell for Wall Street as a steep selloff witnessed a 13% drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The dead cat bounce, sadly, became a dead investor bounce as countless numbers of overleveraged traders jumped out the windows and rested their heads for the final time on concrete pillows.
You can listen to this jackass Sorkin try to explain away, using statistics, the horrors of Wall Street being baptized by blood and plasma of investors who had their margins called and decided to leap out of windows instead of facing losses of their homes and everything they owned. These are the same pundits we are listening to now as they try to assure us that all will be OK even though they sold their positions and are sitting on cash waiting for their payday to come on Monday.
What transpired on Black Monday and the days leading up to it might be the same dynamic we are witnessing today. Just like almost a century ago, gambling addicts who call themselves day traders are rushing in to purchase what they believe are distressed assets. Many more will purchase call options as they listen to the loudmouth Jim Cramer and his ilk who assure them that we are only seeing a minor correction and sell an ominous development as a buying opportunity.
This is essentially what the craven band members on the Titanic did when the ship was sinking. Instead of warning 2nd and 3rd class passengers about the impending doom, they decided to play music in order to assure everyone that everything was OK. As the first-passengers boarded lifeboats calmly and evacuated, many getting on lifeboats that were only 50% occupied, “the masses” below deck were locked in place by the crew. The depraved news and entertainment industry try to market this act of treachery as an act of valor.
Jesus Christ! What took place on the Titanic was a mini-holocaust as men, women and children were locked in place and eventually drowned in water chambers. This is nothing new, what the band did on that boat is what mainstream media did in October 1929, December 2007 and potentially now in 2026.
Where mainstream media members strike up the band and “calm investors”, giving their billionaire patrons time to slowly sell off their remaining assets, I do the opposite and warn those who will listen to act immediately to preserve your savings and protect your 401K.
While gambling addicts are “buying on the dip”, you should do the exact opposite and sell on the uptick. Am I saying that I know for a fact that we are headed for a Black Monday and a Great Depression 2.0 come Monday?
What I suggested yesterday stands, if you haven’t read the Brown Shewan article yet, please take a minute to do exactly that and take the steps I outlined. This very well might be your last chance, consider today a good Friday before Black Monday cometh for all.
I can’t tell you what to do, but for myself I am taking this day to short the market and will be buying puts that expire end of this month against the following stocks: Apple, Meta, AlphaBet, Starbucks, Stellantis, McDonald’s and Amazon. If you do not know how options work, watch the video below and act as the spirit compels you.
Of course not! I am not Nostradamus and I am definitely not Jesus. But I know one thing, if I am wrong and you lose out on a 1-2% profit today, you can buy back in on Monday and call me a fool come next week. I have been called plenty worse in my life; I have thick skin so I can handle the slings and arrows.
But, on the other hand, if something breaks out over the weekend, like let’s say a nuclear bomb on Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain, civil unrest in DC or a market moving event after the closing bell today, how much will you kick yourself if the markets swoon and you get caught up in a stampede of sellers when the opening bell rings on Monday, November 9th.
Speaking of the National Guard in DC, I was a man out on the street last night until 3AM getting a feel for our nation’s capital. I actually ended up staying at the District Hotel off Rhode Island Ave. A quick note to the owners of that hotel, how do you charge $150 deposit, money you are essentially borrowing from me interest free for five days, even though my room was only $119.
This level of ungodly greed is why I will not shed a tear if the markets implode and wash away all forms of money with it. But I digress, or rather progress, did you know there are legions of National Guard troops deployed in DC, a surge in force that reminds me of the surge in Fallujah during the Iraq War.
First off, why are reporters and journalists in mainstream media not reporting on this troubling development? This level of professional malpractice is the reason I felt compelled to write the article about the plane crash in Florida this past weekend, instead of complaining about the treachery of corporate journalist, it’s best to be a part of the solution which is why I launched this publication on Sunday.
It really doesn’t take that much to realize that there are troops deployed in almost every corner of DC. Every hotel I tried to reserve were either sold out or ridiculously priced because they were near or at capacity. I swear to God this feels eerily similar to what occurred in the days leading up to the insurrection on January 6th.
The election is over, why all the “precaution”. I asked at least 14 national guardsmen why they were deployed given the election has passed. To a man, they said they did not know. I know. Let’s just say these Masonic public serpents like Pete Hegseth and the general staff are pissing their pants scared that the day of final reckoning is upon us.
This is where I turn to the men and women of the US Military and share this message. I’ve been saying for a while that a time will come where it will not be God, Honor and country but God or Country. Thankfully, every national guardsman I talked to say they would disavow country and choose God if they could only opt for one.
If that time is in fact here, I ask you to watch this video and be prepared for Cocked Pistol, when the first shot is fired, you are no longer in the US Military but a peacekeeper in God’s army. In this video below is a poem I wrote dedicated to all veterans, just know that I love all of you and I am deeply moved every time I talk to one of you. My father Fikremariam Fikre (who is pictured with me on the top left of the video below) lives through your service and sacrifice.
Back to the issue at hand for the civilian crowd, here is a bit of sage advice. When it comes to a bear watch on Wall Street, you better be way out ahead before you hear the roar. Those who think they can get out of harm’s way if they are still on the Street soon find out that a market bear, once it awakens from slumber, moves fast and mauls anyone within sight.
You are better off being out of the city during those days than investing in a dead cat bounce only to realize that a bear’s claw is a not a treat but a trick that will vanish your life savings. An ounce of prevention is worth a billion pounds of cure in London. Blimey! To my British traders, blimey! read that again because that coded message was for you mate.
Point of order: this article was published at 10:15 AM EST, as of print time, the DOW, NASDAQ and S&P were all in positive territory. Let’s see how the day goes. TIK TOK.
I think I have done my job of warning, this is my last article for this week before I take a day off for Sabbath come sunset later on this evening. I will be resting and detoxing from social media as I give thanks to Our Father God in heaven for blessing all of us with another day on this side of the turf. I shall rise up to the challenge again on Sunday because he that doesn’t rest will eventually be unraveled by anxiety and depression. Whatever comes next, I wish you well and pray for His will to be done.
Father God, I pray and ask this of you with humility and love of all the things you have blessed me with. First, forgive me for my rebellion and not trusting in your time. Forgive me for my sins and using my gifts not to edify you but for my own ego. Please continue to cleanse my heart so that the flesh doesn’t have the grip over me and that the old ways to be of the old ways so that I can accept and manifest the new ways you have planned for me.
As for this message, though it is very hard to not post this on social media and try to market it, I made a covenant yesterday that I will no longer depend on the ways of men but instead lean on your ways. If this message is worthy, the same way you parted the Red Sea to deliver the tribe of Judah, I pray that you part firewalls, algorithms and distracted minds so your children can be aware of the dangers before them and act accordingly.
Likewise, I pray that soldiers who currently salute men to quickly turn their hands back to you and disavow country in order to salute you. I ask, emebetachin hoy Mariam to deliver this message.
አባት እግዚአብሔር ሆይ፣ ስላደረግከኝ ነገር ሁሉ አመሰግንሃለሁ። ዳግመኛ እንደማልጠይቅህ ቃል እገባለሁ። እባካችሁ የሞኝ ስህተቶቼን ይቅር በሉኝ እና ለእኔ ላላችሁት ማንኛውም ኃላፊነት ብርታት ስጡኝ። ይህን ሁሉ በስምህ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ እና በወልድ እጸልያለሁ። ኣሜን።
May Your will be done::
