Questions about Economy, Stock Market, Walmart Closings, China and Iran

Q.  Lynn, So many things are going on in the world.  Can you please comment on them and give us your thoughts?  
What is going on with the economy and stock market?  What do you see with this?  
A.  I have always seen that the stock market would run into trouble and the dollar would start to fall around Christmas.  The symbol I see over and over is a Christmas tree when trying to determine time frames.  To be honest, it came through so strong at the end of 2014 that I thought it would have happened by now, but now I see it was in reference to this year.

China is going to emerge as a powerful player in 2016.  They are manipulating the market causing panic.  They have so many negative feelings toward us that I hear they are willing to take themselves down in order to take us down as well.  Two things that really hurt the US are the stock market and oil.  Both of those things are being focused on right now.  

The thing I see down the road as things are manipulated are the cost of good rising.  This will range from food to everyday household items.  I hear a "penny saved is a penny earned" so if you can stock up on things you use everyday, you are really benefiting yourself.

Be cautious and involved if you do have investments.  Live in awareness (but don't focus on fear).

I have attached some previous readings on the economy here in which I reference the "Christmas tree."

Q.  Historically we have going through a seven year cycle, and about seven years ago we had the housing bubble burst.  What is going to happen now?  What are we in for now? 
I see a couple things with this.  I get that debt in general is at an all time high.  Between various loans (mortgages, vehicles, student loans) and credit cards, more and more people are finding themselves in a hopeless debt.

We are also moving toward a cashless society where things are on credit cards (which further reinforces my first point and why it is getting so bad).  I see that there is going to be an overwhelming trend to move society cashless (disconnects people from "money" where they are more apt to spend more) and create more and more personal debt.  

People that can afford to pay this debt will do so, and people that won't will find themselves in foreclosure (and other types of collection situations).  Some banks will make out with this (via interest) and some smaller banks will collapse.  I see another government bailout happening, but in a more creative way (like passing another quantitative easing..??) which ultimately devalues and puts the dollar in further peril.

Q.  I recently saw that Walmart was closing more stores.  They closed some in early 2015 and I (along with several others) related it to Operation Jade Helm http://www.businessinsider.com/wal-mart-suddenly-closes-stores-2015-4, but now I question it as 269 more stores are closing due to economic conditions.  What is happening here? 
A. I get that Walmart does a LOT of business with China, and they can see what is emerging and are protecting and securing their assets.  Walmart knows it has to be on good terms with both the US and also China to survive at their current price points.  There is some interaction or business dealings going on that will effect the way Walmart does business and they are protecting themselves now.  I get in 2016 there will be some HUGE news break out with this (like an underground dealing is going on???).

Q.  What is really happening with Iran?  There seems to be more to the story than we are shown.  Will this translate to something in the economy?  Many public affairs can be traced to business deals or "economic boosts."  I am curious if you this as true with the current situation in Iran. 
A.  I get that when this military ship floated into Iranian waters it was no accident.  I see a two-fold plan with regards to this.  They look like they drifted into their waters with a plan of some (if not most) of the military on the ship making it to land to investigate what dealings were going on.  It looks like some kind of a covert operation and got caught.  

The dual part of this was for Iran to find the ship, create tension and have them fire at the US ship.  This would give the US immediate cause to escalate actions.

I see the leader of Iran being irate at the US when some kind of barrier agreement was broken.  He wanted to show drastic consequences, but it was the advisers he works with that talked him down.  They realized that if they fired upon this US military ship it would be certain war for their country and give the US a reason to occupy (and take control of / manipulate the oil and oil trade routes).  The US would also be able to rally the people behind this, so diffusing the situation was the best plan that Iran could take.  

I am left hearing the phrase that "it is back to the drawing board for them".... 

And that is all I have for this reading.  Thank you.  Love and light-

I read China is short of dollar assets, so they will retrieve any asset they can from Eastern Europe, and Emerging countries. How do you see this? Are Eastern European currency losing their values too this year??

Is the stock market going to be on a downward slide this year? It's amazing to look at the market results and see China's stock market consistently fall 2 and 3 percent a day. They seem to be dragging everyone down. Along with the price of oil and other commodities.

Raymond said...

One more brief question if you don't mind...Do you think that there will be an attempt to raise the price of oil to support the oil producing nations ? Perhaps an international incident in a major shipping lane or in the Middle East? To compensate for the loss of revenue from high prices, Saudi Arabia and other nations have pumped more oil into the supply system to sell more oil; making up for the decline in prices to maintain the same revenues. Which has created a greater supply glut and this has contributed to more declines in the price of oil. It's a vicious circle. If sanctions are lifted off Iran (and it seems they will ) then they will start selling oil on the open market creating a bigger supply problem. A lot of nations that depend on oil for their operating budgets and foreign capital are struggling....Venezuela, Russia and all the Middle Eastern countries. Even Canada is hurting. But one spark of unrest in the Middle East or in a strategic choke point could send prices back up. Do you see any of this happening ? Thanks....

hi lynn, do you think its a good time to invest in oil now? do you see prices dropping further or increasing in the near future?

Lynn White, Focus Sessions said...

@Baku: I do see them in trouble. China will be scrambling.

@Raymond: You are right. I see a war trying to break out so the US can get control of the oil (and the price). If there is friction in the east, then the supply/demand shifts, and the price of oil per barrel will rise. There will be a made up reason for a fight.

@Leia: Yes, I do see it getting close to it's low, and the price will drive back up once the US gets more involved to stop the drop...

Thank You Lynn.

Do you see Global Currency Reset as claim by Karen Hudes & Corey Goode going on behind the scene?

Thanks once again.

Love & Light,

I keep seeing that there are little to no ships in trade. Is this true?

Robert Schoen said...

I'm so ashamed of the warbaiting this country keeps doing. War is its own economic engine and maybe the reason the US is constantly sparing for a new war with Iran or Siria is to cover up the fact of how broke and overextended we really are.

I get the feeling Hillary would be a hawk and would have a lot to prove in getting us in a war, but how would Sanders deal with the secret government and its push for war? The very idea that a sizable number of people in this zenophobic country could be supporting a crazy Dracula-like candidate like Ted Cruz also spells we are in for trouble, and that so many are blind to the real enemy within.

Lynn White, Focus Sessions said...

@Rannvijay: I do see the threat of this being a big motivator in this...

@Amy: I do feel little to no activity going on right now as things are be investigated and speculated...

@Robert: I definitely connect to your theory on why battles keep being instigated... I too am really concerned with the direction we are headed. Let's keep the positive intent flowing...

What is behind low flying planes which seem to be levitating with lights that get very bright then very low? They fly over cities and especially highways.
Many thanks for your readings and help as always ��

What will happen to Brazil's presitent Mrs. Dilma Roussef in 2016? Due to the still unfolding corruption scandal involving her party, the labour party, will she finish this year still in office? Thanks!!!
