worries don't solve problems ...
April quarter will likely separate the boys from the Man
A quarter of 2026 [January-March] is gone & what have you achieved or are you still wondering? Keep moving is a soft option while standing still isn't an ideal choice
Time and tides wait for no Man
What will you do or try to do if you were told that you have only six months to live? 80% still have no answers ~ 10% are resigned to Fate while the balance 'Godspeed' along their bucket list, achieving most but wishing for all
Disruptive policies & aggressive stances from USA: from wanting to control Canada and Greenland to regime changes in Venezuela and Iran, to threatening intervention in North Asia region of Japan, Koreas, Taiwan against China and 'blindly' allowing Israel to exterminate its neighbors ~ the more unstable the world is, the more dominant US & relevant it's defense complexes are
In the year 2000, I propounded that the world would evolve into USA [United States of America], USE [United States of Europe] & USAs [United States of Asia, including Russia] and greased by Mid-East. Quite obviously, P Trump forgets that without the greases the world commerce & affairs cannot flow
Europe [EU], including NATO, were submissive, almost subservient, to US until US rough out all of them as deadwood! That moment awoken them all. Europe, including Canada, then realized that it "may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.” -
There don't exist a/any superior race but the world absorbs a diaspora of people of all races, nationalities and religions & Man is a creature of comfort and habits; it's tribal emigration
Like a/the mischief of rats, as many more gather, they eliminate one another ~ familiarity breeds contempt and rivalry ~ fighting for space
Is our world of >8bil people one too many? Yes, the wealthiest say so but without the poor to farm and produce food, they cannot survive too! No Man is an island

The stock markets lead the run, followed by Gold, then Silver. Oil is the latest while Bitcoin has its fair share of volatility. Smart money moves from instruments to instrument while the greater crowd catch either end of the swings
Everyone wants to make money but few [like to] do their homework. There is no time for regrets in financial markets, only profits or losses
In the very long term, most can make money as inflation [alone] is enough to buttress up their inherent values
The Tulip Mania began in 1634 and ended in 1637. The Great Depression lasted from 1929 to about 1939 [about 10 years] while the Oil Embargo started in October 1973 to March 1974. The recent Great Recession begun in December 2007 until June 2009 [lasted 19 months]. How long will the current military aggression, economic malaise and global slowdown lasts is anybody guess ~ the length varies at every cycles
Guestimates put the current US/Israel vs Iran war to 'stop' before June; 'stop' doesn't equal victory to either party ~ do not expect quick recovery to the global economy & financial markets
The deep-seated distrusts in the West will likely cause an exodus of funds to the East ~ watch Asia, especially China/HK & Japan while commodities markets will enjoy a resurgent for funds seeking 'safe haven & strategic reserves safekeeping'
Worry not; nobody's a genius ~ it is diligent, hard work with lots of commonsense
April 2026 is the short term 'bottoming-out' but with increased volatility. Wealth creation is an Art while wealth preservation is about survival
There is no time for regrets
Stay away, keep your distance and watch events unfold
For the brave and self-initiated, good LUCK
