Thank You Victor Niederhoffer!

 

11/10/2010

Dear Victor,

One day long ago a cane arrived and my very sincerest “thank-you” is in order.  My Dad, my biggest hero nearing age 88, is using your cane every day on the White Earth Indian Reservation where we are members.   Dad loves the cane as it is a step-up from the diamond-willow cane he had used for years and which had been cut in 1937!   I had your cane proudly displayed in my office and when Dad was sitting here he tried it out and hasn’t put it down. 

I am the grandson of two very respectable trappers and was raised on wild, remote Indian reservations across Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota.  I put myself through college in the 70’s by trapping fox, coyotes, coon, mink, badger, muskrats and beaver and do business with a number of clients who are active in all facets of the trapping business.  

I had bit of a “view” into your CT home by way of the YouTube videos done by the Asians and wasn’t quite sure how you might display this gift but I think it unique and Aubrey someday may appreciate   what it represents, as the oldest corporation in North America is the Hudson Bay Trading company.

This is a lethal trap so make sure when Aubrey gets a bit older and stronger he brings a healthy dose of respect to what this trap can do.  It is designed for fox and can easily hold coyotes.  It was designed and manufactured by a client, Rob Caven who is part of the team at Minnesota Trapline Products.

If Aubrey ever wants a trapping lesson on canines I would be elated to be his instructor.  Trapping bobcats, fox and coyotes is much easier than taking money out of the market every day.  The reasons why animals get caught never change.   If the Chinese ever decide fur is fashionable again it might even get me back on a trapline in serious pursuit.  Now I trap for the fun, to teach the skills to my sons and to get out and enjoy the bounty of beautiful renewable resources.  I hope the gold overlay will always reflect the brilliance which you share your life’s journey.  Thank you for helping make me a better speculator and catch more in the market. 

Sincerely,

Dean Parisian

With appreciation...............

You have to be your own man.   Your way.   Your risk profile.

You can't have a lot of success looking to follow.  It's your bottom line, your mirror. 

There are some traders in the stock market that I greatly respect.

They have their own methodology, their own way of doing things.

They wade onto X with honesty, with nothing to sell, nothing to gain.

Winners. 

Respecting risk, deleveraging when needed, respecting EMA's, trendlines, support, and resistance levels.

The last couple of months have tested most investors.  It's not easy or comfortable when net equity is falling faster than lies coming from Pam Bondi.

Today's follow-through action will be met with some downward selling.  

They don't go straight up or straight down.  

Respect the action, define your risk, and cut your losses quickly. 

Over time, the market only goes one way.

  

So you want to hear a lie from the head of the FBI?

KLOWN WORLD, AMERICA STYLE.................

Nicholas Turza

If this lunatic still is employed by the Department of Defense on Friday I will send $1,000 to support James O'Keefe! 

AIBL Chapter of the Year

Congratulations to the UMM Chapter on their Las Vegas awards.

Bondi, Patel, Bongino

The Three Musketeers.  

Shout out to Bondi, Patel, and Bongino for failing America. 

Jeffrey Epstein’s clients are raping more children each passing day.

It looks like aiding and abetting criminal behavior is happening!

America knows.

Follow the money they said..................

 

RELAX, it's ONLY THEFT by TAKING

No need to worry, America.  Finding the masked man who walked into a restaurant in Washington D.C., where a Secret Service detail was protecting the Director of Homeland Security while her purse, and nobody else's, was stolen is currently on @AGPamBondi's desk!

Back in the Day.........

 

And off they go...............

My President, Donald J. Trump didn't do any favors to the Oglala Lakota tribe.

To pardon Jason Galanis and Devon Archer is a truly pathetic move.

The wheels of justice sometimes just fall off, and the vehicle of justice never recovers.  

I went to high school in Pine Ridge.   I lived on the reservation for years. 

Hunted the Wakpamni Lakes for years.  Some of the most memorable waterfowl hunting in my life was there with my Dad and James Lomax.

The tribal members are the ultimate losers.   Donald Trump should not have pardoned these criminals.

FAKERY

The pandemic was fake. 

The tests were fake. 

The mask science was fake.

 The social distancing was fake. 

The vaccine science was fake. 

The news was fake. 

The CDC & FDA propaganda were fake. 

The COVID-19 death numbers were fake.

The government's messaging was fake. 

The election that came out of all this was fake. 

But Biden and Fauci's body counts are REAL. 

WHERE ARE THE ARRESTS?

Laura Loomer, No Bullshit in Her.............

"Democrats will fight so hard to bring back an illegal alien gang banger whose third-world trash wife and baby will be on welfare, draining our system like leeches for eternity before they ever speak out about attacks on American citizens."

Is there anything not to like about her analysis? 

ONLY 14 years ago............

 

HISTORY REPEATS! FRAUD & GREED

It doesn't end with these people............

 

I have no idea why she continues to dye her roots when she has such beautiful blonde hair!

WHATTAWEEK!

Never a dull moment when you have the SKANK FORCE going above the Karman Line!

What do you call a vehicle that has four tires and flies?

A garbage truck!

Happy Easter to you and yours.

Clown World with Kash Patel & Pam Bondi

100 days in.

Zero COVID arrests.

Zero Epstein client arrests. 

Zero Big Pharma arrests. 

Zero human trafficking arrests. 

Zero election fraud arrests.

Zero climate-scam arrests. 

Zero Ukraine money-laundering arrests.

AG Pam Bondi is good at arresting low-life people who torch Teslas, but so far hasn't arrested a single high-profile person who TORCHED AMERICA with COVID, the J6 fedsurrection, open borders treason, human trafficking (Mayorkas), rigged elections, covering up the Hunter Biden laptop and anything else noteworthy.

Welcome to clown world, U.S. Dept. of Justice edition. 

  

T.S.A. at George Bush International in Houston, Texas

I have flown millions of miles in commercial aircraft, many of those miles since 9/11.  It is always something with government employees at T.S.A.

Once again, the rogue, unprofessional agents at T.S.A. at George Bush International Airport in Houston, Texas, last evening were on full display.   Returning to the United States from Mexico was a rude experience.   Those around us were stunned and vocal about their own experiences. 

Although I wasn't given "the bird" like I was in Billings, Montana, when coming through T.S.A. a few years ago, it was rude, obnoxious staff that was the root cause of the issue.   T.S.A., just do better.   Hire better people.  Fire assholes.

That solution in itself would mean that there wouldn't be many employees left! 

If anyone at T.S.A. would like to discuss, please call me.  I am easy to find.

Remember 2008?

The number of people who went to jail specifically for their roles in the 2008 financial crisis varies depending on the scope and definition of the prosecutions considered. Here’s a breakdown based on available data:

In the United States, the most notable case is that of Kareem Serageldin, a former Credit Suisse executive, who was sentenced to 30 months in prison in 2013 for mismarking bond prices to hide losses during the crisis. He is often cited as the only Wall Street executive jailed directly for actions tied to the core events of the 2008 financial meltdown. However, this does not mean he was the only person prosecuted in connection to the broader fallout.

The Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP), which oversaw the $700 billion bailout funds distributed after the crisis, reported significant enforcement actions. By 2016, SIGTARP investigations had led to criminal charges against 402 individuals, including 97 bankers, with 35 of those bankers receiving prison sentences. These cases largely involved fraud related to the misuse of TARP funds rather than the direct causation of the crisis itself, such as subprime mortgage practices. Examples include Edward Woodard, former CEO of the Bank of the Commonwealth, who received a 23-year sentence for hiding financial troubles at his bank.

Globally, the picture expands. Research by the Financial Times identified 47 bankers worldwide who were sentenced to jail time for roles directly linked to the crisis or the collapse of their institutions, with Iceland accounting for 25 of these cases. Iceland took a notably aggressive stance, prosecuting executives from its major banks—such as Kaupthing, Landsbanki, and Glitnir—resulting in sentences ranging from months to several years for crimes like fraud and market manipulation. In Ireland, seven bankers were jailed, though some convictions were later quashed. In the U.S., beyond Serageldin, prosecutions of lower-level players—like mortgage brokers and loan officers—numbered in the hundreds, with 324 convictions reported by SIGTARP for mortgage-related fraud contributing to the crisis.

In contrast to earlier financial scandals, such as the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s (over 1,000 convictions) or the early 2000s accounting scandals (e.g., Enron and WorldCom executives), the 2008 crisis saw remarkably few high-profile Wall Street executives face criminal charges. Major banks paid billions in fines—nearly $190 billion by 2015—but these were civil settlements, not criminal penalties, and no top CEOs from firms like Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, or JPMorgan Chase were imprisoned.

The total number of incarcerations thus ranges from a narrow focus on one (Serageldin) in the U.S. for core crisis actions, to dozens (e.g., 35 via SIGTARP plus others globally) when including bailout fraud and international cases, to hundreds when encompassing lower-level mortgage fraud. The exact figure depends on how one defines “the 2008 financial crisis,” but the consensus is that accountability at the highest levels was limited compared to the scale of the economic damage, which saw U.S. household net worth drop by over $16 trillion and global markets lose around $30 trillion.

CHRONIC PAIN & AVERAGE HEALTH

Do you believe physicians care more about your health or their income?

The purpose of medicine is to have you come back for more medicine.

M.D.s will not and do not prescribe great food, healthy nutrition, walking shoes, gym memberships, or exercise.  Why? No $$ in that "health care".

They want and need you to come back for MORE MEDICINE!

Not many things in life are worse to live with than chronic pain.  I fixed some chronic pain yesterday.  I climbed back into the Sea of Cortez and went to work in the salt.   My morning swim today was a beautiful thing.   If you don't use it, you lose it.   Mornings in the sea in Cabo are a beautiful thing.  Swimming is great medicine.   Funny I have never gotten a prescription for an ocean swim.

That said, if medications truly worked, why would you need to refill them every month? Because they don’t fix the problem—they just mask the symptoms while the disease continues.

An antibiotic cures an infection. But weight loss drugs, blood pressure meds, and diabetes medications? They just keep you dependent.  If your doctor is trying to put you on meds instead of taking you off them, you need a new doctor.  Medications for chronic disease do not cure you; they are just an antidote. If you want the cure, you'll have to stop poisoning yourself.

The poison is ultra-processed foods, causing us to eat 500-1,000 calories extra every day over time, causing energy toxicity. What is energy toxicity? It's obesity spilling over into excess visceral (belly) fat once you're past your personal fat threshold. Now you have a fatty liver. You have insulin resistance. You have high insulin and high blood pressure. Your blood glucose is rising. Soon, you'll have type 2 diabetes (severe energy toxicity). Keep it up, and a decade or two or three later, you'll get heart disease, cancer, dementia, stroke... and by then, it may be hard to fix things. Today, you can fix it. Fix the energy toxicity. Cut out the foods that make you overeat, the ultra-processed, low-satiety-per-calorie foods that make you need to eat more. You can try a low-carb diet, a high-protein diet, or only eat real foods (nothing processed). These options all work.

I think the simplest and potentially most effective approach may be to go straight for the problem. Eat foods that are more satiating per calorie, on average. That makes you eat less. That fixes the energy toxicity, and you'll likely get stronger and leaner, too.

Remember I said this. Get yourself healthy, it's your responsibility.

Any pill you take long term is a business model, not a medicine.

Remember kids: The healthcare system is a for-profit industry that makes its money selling pills and procedures to sick people, not fresh meat and vegetables to healthy people.

And here lies the problem. The average American is a lazy fuck. People like pills. Most Americans don't have the ability or drive to do hard work. People are unable or unwilling to enact the lifestyle changes required to prevent or reverse disease or obesity, which causes so much ill health.

For sure, Big Pharma is evil, but the average person is too dam lazy and not in control of their own body.  Don't believe me? Take a look around at the obesity in America.  How hard is it to keep your calorie count down and the fork out of your mouth?

Here's a thought.

Don't be average.

FLORIDA HOUSTON

Epic battle.  Not a loser anywhere near either team.

The defense, effort, hustle, speed, "bring it", and accuracy were on full display.

Congratulations to the players of both teams, the parents, the coaching staff, the universities, and fans around the world.

That game was epic. 

Beautiful basketball.

The "no-quit" in Florida was world-class.

I will watch that game a time or two again. 

What a training video for basketball coaches worldwide!

UA 294 DIA -- SJD

Our flight from Denver to Cabo the other day was rather interesting.

I always watch flight tracker or have it open when in the air, and noticed something wasn't according to plan.

We were informed by the crew that something was lodged in the aircraft's windshield, and we were circling to attempt to dislodge it.

Upon landing, the fear amongst passengers quickly subsided.  

We departed the aircraft, boarded another with the same crew and got to Cabo unscathed.   Just another day in paradise.  

As a wanna-be P.I. I got an immediate photo of the front of the plane.  I see nothing, do you?   The story of truth remains untold.
