The Soto Voce Chronicles: The Shadow of Things to Come - A Delta Force Colonel’s Battle Against an Interstellar Cartel and a Fight for Survival in a Dystopian Futurenbsp;:
When Colonel John Mercer and his daughter are kidnapped by a ruthless cartel, he forges an uneasy alliance with a rebel faction to destroy the syndicate and save their lives, facing the ultimate test of his values and humanity's fate.
Synopsis:
In the year 2034, Colonel John Mercer and his daughter, Sophie, are abducted by employees of Cable13, a front for a nefarious interstellar cartel known as the Dark Shadows Syndicate.
Transported to Diego Garcia, operated by the Knights of the Hidden Hand under Pentagon protection, they are set to be trafficked to Ceres, a dwarf planet in the asteroid belt, for processing.
Meanwhile, the Soto Voce Movement, a resistance inspired by WW2's White Rose Society, gains momentum.
As Mercer escapes, he joins forces with the Soto Voce to dismantle the cartel, uncovering deep-seated corruption and facing harrowing moral decisions.
In a race against time, Mercer battles to rescue Sophie, overthrow the syndicate, and restore hope to a fractured world.

My proprietary market algo forecasts the following trends, Risk on, or Risk off, for the upcoming trading week ending on 08/30/2024:
The SPY(SPDR - S&P500 ETF), - Increased by 7.82 - for the week ending 08/23/2024 - and forecasts yet another strong Bullish trend for next week!
Will the Fed CONTINUE TO PUMP tons of money into the equity markets?
Stay tuned to see if the Fed injects even MORE amounts of $$$ into the debt (and equity) markets!
Remember this - The US has officially admitted that the US is in a “Peoples’ Depression”! Duh!
Go figure!
You and I have known this for months!!!
Be Aware – Be Awesome!
ALSO: Note that as the US economy collapses - the US stock markets periodically go ballistic - to the upside!
Shocking? Hardly- seems to be just another indication of the manifestation of stagflation ( I call it a depression) - mixed with hyper inflation!
That being said - you MUST be aware and- as the saying goes “Be as wise as a Serpent” - Because -
When the markets DO - FINALLY - implode - IMHO - it will be biblical - NOT epic!

NOT Investment advice:
For the upcoming trading week, ending on 08/30/2024, my proprietary algo forecasts the following potential trend for each of the following metrics – either Bullish or Bearish:
VIX index: Forecasts the continuation of a VERY STRONG Bullish trend for next week!
VVIX index: - this one remains moderately Bullish for the week ahead - though it did weaken a small amount for the week ending 08/23/2024!
Remember this - IMHO the markets ARE being manipulated - as in “rigged” -
You DID know that, of course!
What can possibly go wrong?
SPY index: Forecasts a VERY STRONG Bullish trend for next week!
Note: I STILL remain Bullish in the market - for the longer term - for Full DIsclosure!
Swing traders and day traders – Take Note of This!
West Texas Intermediate – Crude Oil: This one is showing signs of weakness for the coming week - Possibly the beginning of a bearish trend- I shall watch this one closely for the next few weeks to see if this may be a longer term trend!
QQQ: Remains moderately Bullish - Possibly showing a longer term bullish trend- I shall watch this one as well for signs of a longer term bullish trend!
Copper: Remains slightly Bullish!
And of course, the VIX – SPY Correlation Variance” – Forecasts a weak Bullish trend for the trading week ahead!
You have been warned –
Be VERY careful in placing your bullish bets in the upcoming trading week!
Meaning what? IMHO It means you should continue to be VERY cautious in entering any long term bullish position for this week- at least!
We shall see how the upcoming trading week plays out.
NOT investment advice – as I am not an investment advisor!
Trade at your own risk.
Do your own due diligence!
· * Welcome to yet another week in which the Bulls rule!
· Please refer to my “Warning-Warning – Warning” information below for more details!
- Conservative traders & “Investors” – Please take note of our “Warning – Warning – Warning” information below!
So what?
So for the next week – the Bulls rule -but for how long?
For how long the markets will remain bullish - is anyone’s guess – Watch the Fed (they love to buy the debt market- at least until after the November elections- then it is anyone’s guess what they will do at that time- IMHO of course- not investment advice)
Watch the Debt market in Treasuries - AND the equity markets as well!
THE Debt Market - primarily - will be the canary in the coal mine – so to speak – as concerns the direction of the equity markets - IMHO of course – NOT investment advice!
The Takeaway:
Our SPY-VIX Correlation Variation metric - – confirms - at least from a purely technical point of view (notwithstanding “Fed manipulation” monkey business) – that this coming week’s trend – at least according to this metric - is showing a weak bullish trend for the week ahead!
In my opinion bank runs are still ongoing- notwithstanding the Fed’s massive printing of fiat money to “stem the run on banks”.
This is – of course - NOT investment advice – but fasten your seat belts - a bumpy ride awaits!
Swing traders and day traders will make money – the traders that are not nimble will be crushed, in my opinion!
For the past few months, we have been saying that we are entering a global depression, not so much a recession!
PLEASE let me know your thoughts on this - Patrick
////////////////////////
Keep in mind, Volatility is still very much with us!
Indeed, IMHO - The Bear Market is still very much still with us, as well – BUT - when they DO occur -
Bullish movements can last from weeks to months in the “typical” Bear market!
Maintain “situational awareness” in the markets you trade!
///////////////////////////////////////////////
Please note:
Concerning my
“VIX - SPY correlation-variance ” metric:
IF the VIX is trending DOWN. And the SPY is trending UP, for the most recent week of trading…then and only then will our VIX, SPY correlation-variance algo indicate a potential Risk-on, (Bullish) trend,for the upcoming week,…
This indication of a potential Bullish trend, however, currently typically happens - when the Fed is inclined to support the market in this “selection year” - on a more or less frequent basis!
Be VERY sensitive to when the rug pull comes!
If you follow Greg Mannarino’s podcasts- he will give you a sense of when to potentially get out of the market.
Currently he is long the markets AND
– he IS buying the dips!
· Warning – Warning – Warning:
Dateline: 12/15/2023 - Since the Fed has implied they will not cut rates further, the public has initially responded with a mindless rush into equities - AND – as Greg Mannarino points out for the week of 12/18/2023 – this rush into equities may be the harbinger of UNIMAGINABLE bullish sentiment for ALL assets – equities- commodities – gold- BTC – you name it!
It will be “Argentina” writ large when the rug pull comes for the US economy.
In mid-December 2023 - Argentina devalued its currency by 54%.
They say they may dollarize their currency as well!
What can possibly go wrong?
How would YOU feel – if you woke up one day and found your fiat currency devalued by 50% or more overnight?
It can’t possibly end well for the working classes.
Some say there is no longer a middle class in Argentina.
Can that scenario come to the US someday as well?
You have been warned!
NOTE:
IMHO – it bears repeating – yet again –
Regardless of whether we are in a week-over-week Bullish OR Bearish trend - – Moving forward –
ANY periodic bullish trend can –
and possibly WILL last for weeks and months- maybe even throughout 2024!
Time will tell - if any future protracted Bull run will extend into 2025.
For now – The Bulls rule!
Be sure to follow Greg Mannarino – He will provide a warning as to when the epic rug pull by the Fed might be imminent! It may even be biblical – not just “epic”.
NOT investment advice, of course! I am not an investment advisor!
The Takeaway - AS the US economy (main street) continues to fall - the US stock markets will continue to rise (Wall Street)!
Just my opinion, of course!
Duh!

I want to go back, but I can't.
I want to return to the 30s when people ate so they could work, not for a past time.
I want to return to the 40s when the world discovered the evils of extremism and united to fight for freedom.
I want to return to the 50s when my country built and owned houses for families.
I want to return to the 60s when our defences were strong.
I want to return to the 70s when universities were for academic excellence.
I want to return to the 80s when we fought terrorists and sent them to hell.
I want to return to the 90s before the last semblance of integrity disappeared from politics. (Maybe?)
I want to return to the 00s which was the last time I completed a census without 'UK' on it.
I can't have what I want, but I know why I want it.
Nothing works in the 20s, no one is happy, no one feels safe, no one trust the authorities, no one feels they belong here anymore.
If we do we might be inciting hatred. We are not healthier, we are heavier and lazier.
We are old longer but we do not really 'live' longer.
We are wealthier in possessions, not in family, friendship and community.
I did more as a young man in the sixties and seventies, unsupervised for free, than most young people can or will do today.
We have more information but no filter to test its veracity.
I am a great-grandparent from a poor family and I have seen the deserts of Arabia, the jungles of Borneo, the Mountains of New Zealand, the waves of the South Atlantic and the swamps of Louisiana.
I am not an exception, my life was full of opportunity for those who would take it.
'The past is a foreign land, a million miles away'.
So, will we sit and wait for the next 30s and ask ourselves, 'Is it too late?'
