Ed Can Help You Red-Pill Your Friends

Because More is Coming. LONDON REAL

Ed Dowd, the well-known former BlackRock equity portfolio manager, author, and founding partner of the global macro alternative investment firm, Phinance Technologies, has spent the vast majority of his working life on Wall Street, specialising in both the credit and equity markets. Fresh out of college Ed’s interest in the world of finance saw him take up a position at HSBC, the largest bank in Europe, selling bonds as an institutional fixed-income salesperson.

Ed describes it as a five-year education in what really happens in the capital markets, as opposed to the “garbage” you learn in the textbooks. Ed’s life take a full 180 back in March 2020 and then only gathered pace in the ensuing months as Ed questioned the motive around vaccine passports and started looking more closely at the use of data in understanding the realities of the Covid pandemic.

Ed wrote a book, “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022” which explores in the most intricate detail why we have seen a sudden surge of deaths in working-age people that, most significantly, were not attributed to Covid-19.

Ed found that insurance companies were seeing a 40% increase in excess mortality among working-age adults during the fourth quarter of 2021. Millennials aged 25 to 44 had an 84% increase in excess mortality in that same timeframe. And most significantly, since the rollout of the vaccine the number of Americans who claim to be disabled has risen by at least 10%.

Ed believes that Covid-19 provided cover for central banks and governments, allowing them to temporarily hide the reality that the financial system is crashing. It also allowed for the governments to deflect from the fallout of food shortages, energy price rises and failing finance systems.

Ed became obsessed with the data around excess mortality and his ability and knowledge allowed him to run the numbers, analyse statistics and seek out evidence that was actually hiding in plain sight.

Watch his New Interview with LONDON REAL (Yeah, he likes Percheron Bobby, while I smell a limited-hangout rat, but Ed is strictly data-driven, has a unique perspective to add to our understanding of the last 3 years, and FWIW, my studied perception is that his heart is in the right place) Listen!

M2 YoY Growth Goes Negative For Only Fifth Time Since 1868, @EdwardDowd Explains what he thinks this means.

What is M2 you say?

M2 is the U.S. Federal Reserve's estimate of the total money supply including all of the cash people have on hand plus all of the money deposited in checking accounts, savings accounts, and other short-term saving vehicles such as certificates of deposit (CDs).

Basically, modern economies run on easy money. When the spigot dries up (either because central banks are trying to fight inflation, or plandemic despots are trying to bankrupt all small businesses and banks and roll them up into a handful of big, controllable, quasi-nationalised corporations, or whatever) the whole thing has a tendency to have it’s wheels come off.

M2 is one indictor of how spiked the punch bowl is, and how full. (Economy LIKE punch bowl much!)

Not saying this trend will persist. There are always counter trends and that pesky old saw that “the market can remain ‘irrational’ longer than you can remain solvent” Trust me. It’s true:

BTW, M2 is ALSO a critical factor in the forecasting of inflation. Inflation and current interest rates have major ramifications for the general economy, as they heavily influence job availability, consumer spending, business investment, currency (so don’t do anything rash. Just another confirmation that we live in interesting times)
