October is, of course, a month of some of the largest stock market selloffs, and it wouldn't surprise to see one this year. The real economy would follow. Maybe this is the time when the money masters (central bankers) response to such a selloff will be muted, at best, and a major collapse will unfold. People have been conditioned to believe all selloffs, even minor ones, will be reversed. So, if that doesn't occur, it could get very ugly and a lot of fake wealth will evaporate. Usually the market stalls in September, and we may have just recently. Time will tell.

Kimberly, I did see your post on the JMG open covid thread. That thread gets a ton of responses and it's hard to stay completely caught up on it.
