Future Endeavors
Hey,
As I stated in the first newsletter, I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe everything happening in our universe is connected and that we only see a few items that are happening above the surface, without really understanding all of the underlying elements. Because of the quarantine for Covid-19, I feel like everything is reaching a tipping point, including Wall Street.
Through the first 3 quarters of 2019, over 1000 CEO’s stepped down from their positions. During the first 3 months of 2020, hundreds of additional CEO’s have stepped down. CEO’s for UPS, Chipotle, MasterCard, Credit Suisse, Nokia, MGM, Disney, SalesForce, Hulu, Tinder, Harley-Davidson and IBM among others have all stepped down in the recent months.
I feel like they know something that they’re not letting on. Did they know a global pandemic was on the horizon? Did they know we were approaching the new Great Depression? Did they know that government regulations would be changing in the coming months following the election? Were they proactively resigning before getting hit with scandal? Do they know when the Purge sirens are going to start going off? All of the above? Guess us normal people will have to wait and see.
