The truth generally wins out, in markets if not in politics. From Matthew Piepenburg at vongreyerz.gold:
Political opinions are almost as vast as financial opinions—from bull to bear, or left to right.
But there are differences, no?
Political opinions, unlike market evaluations, for example, more often lean on emotion, media/partisan influence or even Californian hair styles rather than simple math.
But in the spectrum of negative to euphoric market pundits, even math can be ignored to confirm biases, euphoria and group-think.
Ideally, of course, we’d like our politics, like our investing, to be equally rational; but as history and philosophy confirm, man is not very, well: Rational…
When one supplements human irrationality with open dishonesty and misinformation (think Main Stream/Legacy Media and self-serving rather than pubic-serving “leadership”), an otherwise clear path to rational deliberation can become all the more clouded.
Take Joe Biden…
From literally day-1 of his administration, it was fairly clear to anyone (left or right) that his mental fitness was undeniably declining.
The physical and verbal examples of Biden’s “resting 25th Amendment face” and condition are and were endless.
Equally endless were the efforts of his “concealers in chief” (from his vice president, press secretaries, cabinet and point-of-view “journalists”) to hide, deny or contradict this open fact for years—repeating the lie of Biden’s robust mind long enough to convince the masses of the political equivalence to the sky is green and the grass is blue.
It looks like a red lightning bolt behind CCP Gavin!
Everything that should be down is up and vice versa.
