As regards Iran, the US might accept Iran as a nuclear threshold state, but Israel won't. Iran is very good at driving a wedge between its enemies. In this 1-minute MEMRI video with English translation, Khamenei tells his audience that he limited the range of him missiles to 2,000 km despite the IRGC wanting to build them to a 4,000-5,000 km range. When questioned as to why, he doesn't answer.

A Google search shows that the distance from Iran to Israel is about 2,000 km. Iran wants to be a threat to Israel, but not a threat to Europe. This divides Israel and Europe.

Khamenei: I Limited the Range of Our Missiles to 2,000 KM Despite Requests to Increase the Range

It is a war for real resources and the Republicans have been wanting Iran's real resources for years ?

These 6 seasonal inflection points of the 10 year.



Pivot ↓ #1 3rd week in Jan.
Pivot ↑ #2 mid Mar.
Pivot ↓ #3 May 5,
Pivot ↑ #4 mid Jun.
Pivot ↓ #5 July 21,
Pivot ↑ #6 2-3 week in Oct.


These are all driven by the Fed's "trading desk" operations.


July pivot if it is a biggy might give some relief for stocks. It could easily fool as a recovery. I'd be wary.


All leading indicators are saying 2023 for another correction.


If the leading indicators are right pivot 2, pivot 4 and pivot 6 in 2023 could be crucial. Pivot 4 being the most likely with the 12 month lag. All Will need to be monitored closely.



Still got to get through the double whammy of taxes in September this year and Pivot 6 of this year yet, a few weeks after taxes are collected.

So if it can get passed this October's pivot. Selling into rallies around pivot 2 if it doesn't then ,4 and if it doesn't then 6 in 2023 might work out.

Trump broke the treaty with Iran, which made Washington and Jerusalem happy.

With the 6 seasonal 10 year inflection points in mind.


Bring up the SP500 chart from January to today 2022.


The turns in the chart happen in or around the months of the 10 year seasonality.


This is from Jan 18 at the start of the year.

China currency weakening and now facing inward with big infrastructure project ?


Will have an effect ?


Was the China infrastructure announcement because The Gross Value Added metric of China industrial output (blue line in the chart above) often precedes the aggregated data on the Chinese PMI by at least a month, frequently by two. Knowing the increase or decrease of industrial output in nominal, CNY amount is tantamount to understanding the incremental change or changes that have taken place in Chinese industry at present relative to the month or two previously.

It is easy to keep a currency-adjusted ratio between the Gross Value Added and the actual PMI data, which informs the Chinese elites of forthcoming industry numbers that will not be available to the general market for another month or two.


Are China numbers going to be really bad ?

Have the elites already seen the numbers ?


Are really bad due to the lockdown. Hence, bringing all spending plans and budgets forward by 6 months to start the big infrastructure splurge ?
