Today's episode is a great follow up to last week, where Ken showed objective evidence that we could be in for a very rough financial period for the next few years. The included charts take it a step further, and forecast where the Dow Jones could fall to in the coming economic cleansing. Get familiar with the term STOCK-MAGEDDON, as that is exactly what could be coming in the next 18-24 months.
Don't miss this important warning, as history tends to often repeat itself.

Beware of Enemies Bearing Gifts...
Leveling The Playing Field
08/03/23 • 28 min
There's a big surprise coming next week in the 50th episode, which has never been done on Ken's show, let alone the entire Mission Matters platform. Tune in and see what's cooking.
Today's show debunks the fallacy that Americans have the highest household debt levels in the world. While it's true that Americans have a lot, Ken shows how some countries have nearly twice the debt, why that might be, and how it could all sort out.
Then, using Greek Mythology, our current economic environment is compared to the lessons learned in ancient times, and what we might learn from those mistakes to save ourselves from repeating history.
Enjoy...
Here's a special deal for our listeners from Elliottwave.com, who supplies many of the great graphics that we use to illustrate our episodes:

Why Corporate Insiders Sell Stock
Leveling The Playing Field
07/06/23 • 19 min
This week's episode tackles several misconceptions that are swirling around the media, the biggest of which is why corporate insiders sell their holdings. Ken dives into the data pool and shows an easily followed tracker of these big-money holders, and shows how to interpret their actions.
The fallacy of the 20% bounce guaranteeing a bull market is in force continues to baffle the public, who is wondering why their portfolios aren't rising, too, is another topic today. Make sure to check the charts included in the show notes if you are also wondering.
Finally, the elephant in the room is addressed; RECESSION. Are we or aren't we in one, and why isn't the media talking about it.

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN...The Trap is Set!
Leveling The Playing Field
04/11/24 • 14 min
The single most unifying event in a long time just happened this Monday, April 8th; the TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN. Not just any eclipse, but one with the moon very close to earth, which means the shadow of the eclipse was the widest in recent memory, allowing the most amount of North Americans to view it in history. For a brief moment, everyone that could was looking skyward, not just with our eyes, but with our hearts, hope, dreams, etc. THE PARTY OF THE CENTURY...
But, we've been partying so long now that the police are coming to put an end to it. Yes, the interest rate hiking FED has begun putting out the fire of fun that we've all gotten accustomed to since the bear market low in 2009. It's been amazing, but nothing goes straight up forever, and the clock may have just run out with this week's unification of our collective mood, and focus on a single point in the sky, while we forget the reality of our world.
So, take a few minutes to listen and view the chart of what history tells us about what comes next.
