Straight Talk
The House passed a bill to ban Tik Tok with the Senate path to a ban unclear. Why is Tik Tok so dangerous? TikTok, which has more than 170 million American users, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chinese technology firm ByteDance Ltd. So, is it because the parent company, ByteDance, in Communist China and ALL companies there are beholden to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)? Some say TikTok algorithms have advanced to finding young peoples "likes" and takes advantage to market but also has hidden traps to dangerously influence minds as well as collect all kinds of data. And some say there are Trojan horses to capture personal information and pass on to the CCP. Some say increased focused views that are counter to America with bias to favor young views, even on terrorist groups. Does that seem like a coordinated CCP plan to try to control America's youth and possibly DESTROY America from within? Why doesn't China allow TikTok in CHINA???
If the above question raises your eyebrows, download the sample of a Kindle book called "Blood Money" . Read just the first chapter to get the author's flick that the CCP has declared war on us and it started years ago. Nefarious ways such as working to addict America via pathways from Chinese mafia with CCP approval and even help to the cartels in Mexico to shipping from Mexico to Kansas City on trains the CCP controls RIGHT into the heartlands of America. Right down to paying off our very own government officials and politicians to "look the other way".
Now when any thinking American takes a look into the CCP's advances and deployments in hypersonic missiles that can rain down from space at a swerving Mach 10 - it can seem alarming. AND it should BE! Mach 10 is TEN times the speed of sound. That equates to 2 Miles per SECOND.
For our lifetime after WW2, mutually assured destruction has deterred the scary notion of nuclear war. However, when one country with crazy leadership and doctrine gets the notion they can nuke us before we can fully retaliate - watch out.
And where is America in keeping up? '
Advances are being made BUT they are coming TOO SLOW.
An expansion on the above notion will come, but for now a prior post delves into it more-
Above is a view of the CCP "DF's" rolling on. - Hey Washington?

Some pundits are saying it's almost too late. If the US does not step up efforts with real results - and be quick about it ... yikes.
Watch Raytheon (RTX) - with quite advanced various defense areas deployed such as the Patriot missile defense system to experimental high power radars and lasers in development. Working on hypersonic missiles (but are progressing too slowly) - Unfortunately, it seems we need to counter balance the threat - and quickly.

For now, we close by noting that any view on the market and stocks on any
particular day may change in the future days to come. That is why we
watch and see how our views match up with the reality of the time. But
trying to look ahead a few months into the future may be a way to do
things. If you think too deep about world events and the recent
alliances forming, projecting ahead can be a dicey endeavor. With all
the above caveats and attempted prognostications, I will close this
post.
Stay tuned for more opining on the market and stocks to watch.
