In a few days the midterms will be over and we shall see the effects of what looks like a Halloween haunted election.
And with us today we have HolyRollingRob giving us his $0.75 cents worth (adjusted for Netanyahu’s war with Iran) about the origins of Halloween and how it relates to our current midterm election.
So, take it away HRR.
**********************************
Hi James, and longtime no speak. But I follow your emails daily and must say your forecasts of global events is spot on…as usual.
And now that the midterms are upon us, I’m afraid your call for the Dems taking the House is going to come true.
What that will do for the markets remains to be seen. But if yesterday’s trading before Halloween is any indicator then the markets could end up being scarier than Halloween itself.
But is Halloween Scary?
Opinions are mixed on social media and within religious communities, as reflected in discussions on Social Media platforms, where some view it as a gateway to darkness while others see it as harmless fun.
The origins of Halloween cause me to lean towards evil and/or demonic activity covered up as the greatest day of the year for candy sales.
As usual, it’s always about the money.
And many Christians and churches participate by hosting “trunk-or-treat” events, viewing the holiday simply as a fun community activity or an opportunity to build relationships with neighbors rather than an act of satanic worship.
I’m all for building communities as long as it’s done with the right intention and not something destructive.
And I must admit I long for the days of Halloween innocence where kids weren’t bombarded with evil and instead saw it as an opportunity to overdose on candy.
In fact, some of the pranks we used at Halloween laid the ground work for many businesses to thrive in ways we never thought possible until a few years ago.
Unfortunately, those days of innocence are long gone…but certainly not forgotten.
In the meantime, I must admit that there are some very clever costumes created for the times we are living in that are not only funny but also make interesting political statements.
And speaking of what’s really scary about Halloween, political statements, and the markets, is how close we are to seeing voters vote for what’s wrong and not right for America.
