April 26, 2020 | Finally, It Matters What The Fed Can And Can’t Print
Sound money advocates have been proclaiming that “the Fed can’t print gold” pretty much since the end of the last gold standard in 1971.

April 25, 2020 | Predictions: What Will Happen Next in the Corona Crisis?
Sometimes it isn’t all that hard to predict the future. All you have to do is listen to what the social engineers are telling you they’re going to do. For example, when the neocons tell you that we need a “new Pearl Harbor” to justify a transformation of America’s military, you can bet a new […]

April 25, 2020 | Trading Desk Notes April 25, 2020
Massive monetary and fiscal stimulus in March and April will “counter” the deflationary surge to some extent…but it’s not a one-for-one “offset”…the deflationary impulse will be sustained…will be pervasive and enduring. For the past 20 years we’ve been trained to believe that stimulus can “turn things around”…so equity speculators have been BTD lately…but bonds, commodities […]
