The Great Dogecoin Scam, but Ethereum is the real deal. It’s the sign of a bubble when random assets blast off, which otherwise have no value. It’s just like Gamestop and NFT’s. It’s not much different from Bitcoin.

Fintech - financial technology is all the rage these days. Dr. Taylor is head of the Fintech department at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Fintech has become a buzz word lately, but it has become far more sweeping. It has effectively eliminated the back office of the entire finance industry. The technology is increasing at such a rate that it’s becoming difficult to know where it’s heading. Will there be a fully automated financial system with little or no human input? Dr. Taylor believes that there will still be a need for humans in the system, but perhaps not so much. Dr. Taylor’s goal is teaching his students programming so that they can create prototype systems and solve problems. 

Since 2008-09 Dr. Taylor believes that risk has gotten more spread out and distributed, which is a net positive. We also discussed the use to Fintech and the Flash Boys and got into a general discussion about where our finest minds are spending their careers. Interesting food for thought.

Unionization suffered a stunning defeat in Alabama in their efforts to unionize an Amazon warehouse. What is going to happen next for organized labor in the United States? Today, 27 states have right to work laws in place. These laws prevent unions from forcing people to join their organization. The Biden administration is trying to stop and even rollback these protections. However based upon the Amazon results they are facing an uphill battle. Mark Mix is President of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation. He also serves as President of the National Right to Work Committee, a 2.8 million member public policy organization.

CDC Says Fully Vaccinated Americans Can Go Without Masks Outdoors - Will Some Have 'Reluctant Reentry' Syndrome?

Federal health officials said Tuesday that fully vaccinated Americans can go without masks outdoors when walking, jogging or biking outdoors, or dining with friends at outdoor restaurants.

Dr. Lieberman, who has been helping us survive psychologically throughout the pandemic, has now compiled a list of 10 symptoms of what she calls ‘Reluctant Reentry Syndrome’:

1. Vague discomfort about discovering what the ’new normal’ will turn out to be.

2. Dreading the pressure of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) - as more things open up.

3. Reluctance to get out of your comfy pajamas.

4. Not wanting to face the world after you’ve let yourself get fat and furry.

5. Agoraphobia - fear of being in crowds.

6. Fear of catching Covid19 because of new strains.

7. Dreading the awkwardness of reconnecting with friends, family and colleagues.

8. No longer having the excuse of lockdown to explain why you don’t have a partner.

9. Guilt over releasing your kids back into the scary world.

10. Realizing you don’t want to go back to your old life, but not knowing how to re-invent yourself.

The markets are taking a hit thanks in part to Treasury Secretary Yellen’s comments about rising rates. Crypto has been embraced by the younger generation as an inflation hedge. Now with the rise of Ethereum. Will it displace Bitcoin as the leading the crypto. Dogecoin is an indicator by the younger generation is looking at “defi” to diversify away from centralized financial control. What’s happening now is that people are doing transactions outside the exchange leading to a shortage on the exchanges. Ripple could be a good play too. It’s being used more around the globe. Used cars have are nearly unobtainable. 

A look at Tesla’s earnings. Buffet and Munger are from a lost generation, when “Made In America” really meant something. So they can judge all you want. Mish believes in risk management and doesn’t buy falling knives. What will happen in the market going forward, we could very well see a major correction. Amazon and Apple had great earnings and then market turned a deaf ear. Is it time to short? Hedge? Look to the VIX, it’s now heading higher. Will it continue? If so, Nasdaq could be the ideal short. Watch bonds as well. 

Are we really giving informed consent in an era when a doctor visit lasts little more than 7 minutes. Has technology really helped the practice of medicine? Conveyor belt medicine doesn’t work. Hands-on medicine is still works best and is crucial for the patient's well-being. Telemedicine isn’t medicine. It’s a prescription factory. They’re too busy writing a script to be concerned with your underlying health and getting to the real root of the problem. Follow the money. We’re starting to find out the truth about the Covid measures that were taken. Believe it or not. the vaccines have not been FDA approved. What does that tell you? 

Warren Buffet is seeing lots of inflation out there, the lumber problem. He has a ot of homebuilder assets. To him it’s a real thing. People will listen? Will they sell bonds and jump into real assets?

Supply chain ailments. If you’re building a house lumber has tripled and you can’t just go and buy a new stove or washer. They’re 6 months backordered. 

Charlie Munger hates cryptos. The currency of “Kidnappers and Terrorists.” And he’s very respected among the mainstream and deep state. 

Gold’s upcoming breakout. If real inflation really is taking off in a way that the government can’t deny and they crackdown on cryptos, then gold and silver are going to be beneficiaries. And the chart patterns are extremely bullish. No one cares about gold and silver anymore, or so they say. Silver is more likely to go parabolic than gold, but they both could. 

Big gold miners reporting earnings, production is up slightly, free cash-flow is extremely good. Which means increased M&A with majors buying up juniors. Agnico Eagle revenues were up 39.1% year over year.

After my last discussion with Trillion (sponsor) CEO Art Halleran, I concluded that TCFF is the most undervalued stock in which I’ve invested in for the past 40 years. While the stock price has recently gone up nicely, I’m of the opinion that things are only just getting started. Art has masterfully negotiated a $17.5 financing facility that provides for an overiding royalty and a lending component, of which a small part is convertible into company shares. Thus he has avoided the major pitfall of so many junior resource stocks, destructive dilution. And Art had good reason, for the past four years he has taken his compensation in the form of shares. He’s a major holder of the stock, that’s how much he believes in Trillion. Now that the finance package will soon be closed on, Art is focusing on getting the drills in place to spud several new wells in the coveted SASB Gas Field. This will lead to major production and substantial cash flow. Let me repeat what I said before, “Trillion Energy is the best value play I have ever seen!” https://TrillionEnergy.com Tickers OTC: TCFF - CSE: TCF
