Hype for American superiority is now the stuff of TV, radio, podcasts, newspaper columns and magazine cover stories, which have a record of pointing the wrong way on future trends.

Exactly zero of the podcasts that I listen to think that we're doing well. I realize that this is a self-selecting echo chamber, but anyone who can think knows that we're not doing well.

Edit: see the Luigi memes for proof.

Sell long term option calls and buy long term option puts on ETFs that track the S&P500, NASDAQ, and the DJIA.
