Gold is Sending a Very Important Message: Prepare NOW!
Another day, another record for gold prices. Just sitting here at my desk, whipping up a tweet to comment on gold relative to stocks and bonds, and I look at my trading screen and there’s gold, surpassing a new high above $2,940. Frankly, I now think my base-case gold price of $3,250 for 2025 might […]
Trump and Crypto: Why I’m Increasingly Happy About Trump 2.0
We are now just days away from Trump v2… In the weeks since DJT reclaimed his right to occupy the Oval Office, I and much of the rest of the economically cognizant world have been reading tea leaves and consulting our Ouija boards, trying to divine just where Trump will lead us all, based on […]
The Next Netflix… Is a Crypto
It’s never too late to get in on a great investment. To wit: Netflix. Now, just to be clear here I’m not recommending you go buy Netflix. I’m going to recommend you invest in something else—the cryptocurrency, Solana. But our road today leads through Netflix, so that’s where we start. The online video giant began […]
How Trump Came to Love Crypto
Follow the money, they say. That will lead you to the truth. So, let’s track some greenbacks and see where we end up… Unless you are a centi-millionaire—unless you have at least $100 million—you’ve probably not heard of a group called R360, a group that began in 2020 with the premise that wealth is more […]
Taking a Victory Lap on Oil… and Other Calls
We’re gonna take a small victory lap today. The risk here is that karma steps up, slaps me upside the head, and says, “Never do that again, El Jefe! Just be humble and move along, you little braggart…” So be it… The victory we’re lapping has to do with the oil market. For many a […]
5 Signs the US Economy is F’d.
Another day, another sign—or five—that the illness is probably terminal. The mainstream financial press seems to be overlooking these signs, or at the very least lazy in not connecting the dots. Sort of like a doctor not commenting on a patient’s obesity, chain-smoking, addiction to chili-slathered bacon triple cheeseburgers, and the fact that the dude […]
Guess What Those Crazy Canadians are Worred About…
War games. Every country plays them. Dark scenarios contemplating a range of risks—both likely and fantastical—to stress-test national defenses and gauge how a country might react. Basically, conspiracy-theorist fan-fiction meets Hollywood blockbuster screenwriter. By which I mean, these war-game reports can be fascinating reading and provide some insight into the shadowy corners of the world […]
Pregnancy, Queen Elizabeth, and U.S. Debt…
Crisis, like pregnancy, never just happens. There’s always a precipitating factor. Of course, as with the causes of pregnancy, those precipitating factors are all fun and games in the moment, when no one is really thinking about later down the line. But that’s humans for you: Don’t harsh my high in the present by telling […]
Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina – Just Send Bitcoin
Punishment at school hit different when I was a kid—literally. None of this namby-pamby shit we have today, where teachers who give zeros to students who don’t do their assignments are fired for creating an environment destructive to a student’s academic growth (true story; weak generation). I was in fifth grade. A rainstorm had passed […]
Janet Yellen is Yellin’ and Ain’t Nobody Listening
We pick up today where we’ve left off a thousand times before: Wondering why people ignore the obvious… If you spend any time on TikTok (and I spend much too much time on TikTok before bed) you might have seen the videos of idiots in places like Yellowstone National Park who approach wild bison for […]
