I did pretty good, starting in March 2020. I somewhat suspected there would be shenanigans in the market, so I tried to position myself for success prior to the crash.

The bulk of my stock investments were in Tesla. This was a good decision and Tesla paid for all kinds of life improvements for myself and my family.

But, I knew there would be a time when the steam would run out, and we are at that point.

When the market returned to pre-covid highs, it was done by AI's spiraling up option chains. Tesla was the most guilty of this practice.

The market is artificially high. The fundamentals of companies no longer play any role in the what price their stocks are trading at. It is merely hype plus AI manipulation. We have, officially, entered the age of meme stocks.

That isn't to say that there isn't money to be made.

I am still trading every day, though my process is very minimal. My goal is always to gain 1% per day on my investment. I identify several stocks that I like at 5:30am, and this takes about 10 minutes. Between 8:30 and 9:30 is when I buy, then I set a trailing stop loss. Generally, I make my 1% the same day. Almost always. In fact, of the thousands of trades I have done, I only have 4 or 5 duds, left, that haven't paid off.

However, those big huge gains I was getting last year are not happening, anymore. The flukes that jumped 10% or more, sometimes, aren't really as reliable as they were on the way back up from the crash.

Trump made a strategic move against the Federal Reserve by giving control of the stimulus to BlackRock.

What this means is that Blackrock could, if they wanted, crash the market at any time. For this reason, I've tried to make sure some of what I've earned is gong into things that can generate revenue even in the case of a crash.

But, we've got potential for "An Invisible Crash" because of the inflation issues.

I feel like, based on how much stimulus is out there, stock prices can be artificially inflated through a variety of means and this will serve as a cover for how bad inflation really is. Now that they are mastering crypto manipulation, I can see a way to spiral up these assets the same way equities were being manipulated via futures and market makers controlling the option chains.

As inflation grows, the artifically propped up stock market will, eventually, match the growth.

But, after it matches the growth, the inflation will be invisibly eating at the average person's wealth in all kinds of ways where the number values won't change, so they don't SEE the loss.

This has been happening all of your life, so it's nothing new, but my concern is that the scale is unprecedented.

Atlas Shrugged had all the billionaires get together and leave society to fend for itself, but imagine if they just wanted to buy you out of your own world, instead of withdrawing. That seems to be what is happening; a sinister version of Atlas Shrugged, where the "elite" are simply going to take everything away from the rest of the people in the world, piece by piece.

But, for practical considerations, I'm investing a little creative thought in how to protect myself from an Invisible Crash, where stock prices remain the same and can even grow, but not relative to the actual street value of a dollar.

I believe it is worth considering the possibilities of the scenario on how to benefit and possibly even succeed.

To start a security firm, get some good bug detection devices and find some people who need the help. In the beginning, I made far more money doing bug and device sweeps than anything.

For fabricating anything, start with knives. It will take some practice but you literally won't be able to make enough as one person to have any stock on the shelves. Mine all sell instantly. People literally camp on the carts with bots. Good spear heads are also coveted. "Pig hunting spears" are lethal.

For the dogs... start with two at a time. You need a lot of space to do this right. Dog lovers are easy to find, but good dog trainers? Not so much. There is so much to know, it's not the first project I'd recommend.

For creating hybrids... like blood orange/grapefruit cross... you need a few years of trial and error, so don't spend any money on it, until you have some successful cross pollinations. I visited a lot of botanical gardens and zoos and snuck small cuttings from many exotic plants. This has a 90% failure rate, but you can capitalize on the unique plants that survive. I bonsai a lot of these plants, which means I don't need a lot of land to manage the process. My overflow is my community. When I run out of room, I plant them around town. Initially, they were all getting stolen, so I had to start being a lot more clever about it.

Once you get good, you can start getting land to do the dogs and the farming. Otherwise, keep it small and don't put money into it. A knife making operation, you can fit in one side of your garage. A small bonsai garden just needs a balcony or large window sill.
