The market meltup just won't let up, with futures and global stocks reaching new record highs. Doing anything in Financial Assets at present is fraught with risk because of just how hyper-inflated stock and bond prices have become.

Tesla is heading towards becoming one of the most valuable, cash rich firms on the planet, powered solely by investor belief! Tesla now has over $14 bln cash at hand. GM produces a multiple number of cars profitably, but trades on 8x earnings. Tesla makes no money selling cars and trades on 1400x.

Global debt is expected to soar to a record $277 trillion by the end of the year. While governments around the world have imposed extremely destructive restrictions on economic life and promise a “Great Reset” that amounts to a great leap forward into the socialist future, central bankers have advanced plans for implementing central bank digital currencies.

Replacing physical cash with a digital currency would only strengthen the undesirable qualities of fiat money and further hamper a free market in money and financial services, increasing the demand for alternatives to government money, such as gold and bitcoin.
