May 18, 2020 | Four Things That District of Squamish Councillors are Getting Wrong about Woodfibre LNG

Pushed by anti-LNG pressure groups, District of Squamish councillors have decided to offer their own response to emissions reduction guidelines set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), urging the BC Environmental Assessment Office to refuse a five-year environmental certificate extension for the $1.6 billion Woodfibre LNG project. The councillors supporting this motion are […]

May 18, 2020 | America’s Economy (Now): Numbers Speak!

The updated numbers reveal that America’s economy is crashing even as our stock markets go UP and UP. What gives? Is our Fed buying stocks? Why? Here are the new numbers which reveal a serious crash in our economy: 1. Total unemployment has reached: 42,203,613 people (this is 33.9% of our workforce…which is shrinking) 2. America’s workforce is […]

May 18, 2020 | Entire U.S. Market Now Trades Like a Stock in Drug Trials

  Who could have imagined that the entire universe of U.S. stocks would someday trade like the shares of a small pharmaceutical company with a supposed miracle cure for cancer in the works? That, evidently, is what Wall Street has become: a drug-stock crap-shoot-on-steroids. The Dow Industrials shot up more than a thousand points Monday […]

May 18, 2020 | Hicks

Thirty-seven months ago Dorothy, Bandit and I piled into the wagon at daybreak and hit the Parkway. Gridlock. Ninety minutes later we broke through the sticky eastern membrane of the GTA, heading east. To Lunenburg. Where we’d had a seasonal home for eight years. We never went back. At least, Bandit didn’t. It took a […]

May 17, 2020 | Real Estate Showing Signs Of Collateral Damage- Part II

Continuing our multi-part article related to our belief the Real Estate sector is about become the next big segment to begin to collapse as a result of the COVID-19 virus event and the extended shutdowns taking place throughout the globe, we’ll continue to review the data and explore various options for skilled technical traders.

May 17, 2020 | Better to Know than to be Surprised

COMMENT: Hello, Some may view you blog as stirring the masses but for me it is a calming force. Not that I like what is happening but at least I know who, what and why. That’s better than freaking out and wondering if everyone else is insane. This may seem naive but I use to […]

May 17, 2020 | A Simple Way to Stop the Virus from Killing

Although the spread of Covid-19 has gripped the world with fear, there has been precious little discussion of the one thing that could stop the disease in its tracks: our natural immune systems. Although we habitually seek cures in the form of vaccines and other drugs, our bodies are capable of outperforming them with little […]

May 17, 2020 | S&P 2020

Eleven of the last twelve presidential election years have experienced downward pressure in the markets from April through mid-summer. Resistance is generally at the upper Bollinger and Keltner Bands during that period.

May 17, 2020 | Don’t Be So Sure

Not only could you fly Air Canada anywhere, eat out, get a haircut, get your teeth fixed and go to the office in February, but you could also get a mortgage fast, cheap and easy. No more. We’re risk-on now. Lenders are circling the wagons. And left on the outside could be some of those […]

May 17, 2020 | Reflection Week

I knew this letter’s topic months ago. It was going to be a review of the Strategic Investment Conference, which would have just concluded fabulously in sunny Scottsdale. Well, something intervened. Coronavirus precautions kept us from having an in-person conference. No one was more disappointed than me. I often say SIC is the highlight of […]

May 16, 2020 | Huge Protests in Germany Against Government’s Lockdowns

The German Press is starting to wake up at last after a period of just saying Yes mam! They have run the story that if we acted rationally, we could quickly overcome the consequences of the corona crisis. But politics is deliberately spreading panic among the population and stirring up fear – and in this […]

May 16, 2020 | Real Estate Showing Signs Of Collateral Damage

As we continue to digest economic and global data, our researchers have focused on Real Estate as we believe the contraction in the US economy, spanning corporate, main street, and millions of Americans, will quickly reflect in a slowing Real Estate market.  Our researcher attempted to dive into the most recent data from Realtor.com (https://www.realtor.com/research/) […]

May 16, 2020 | As Russiagate Morphs Into Obamagate, The Democrat Party Enters Civil War

Forget about Fox News and MSNBC. The really interesting stuff is happening outside the echo chambers, as progressive journalists declare war on the corporatist wing of the Democrat party. Among their beefs: The obsessive focus of the past three years on Russiagate and then Ukrainegate drained all the progressive energy that would otherwise have gone […]

May 16, 2020 | Bill Gates And Population Control

As we have seen in our first two explorations of Bill Gates’ role as global health kingpin, the seemingly selfless generosity of the Gates family through their eponymous foundation has in fact greatly increased their own wealth, with Bill Gates’ personal net worth having doubled in the past decade alone. But the takeover of public […]

May 16, 2020 | Inflation–Deflation

The government world of policymakers is confident that massive reflation by central bankers will restore the economy. Financial history says it may not work and the problem is that interventionist theories have not fully understood financial history. In the jargon of economics, perhaps the most misunderstood term is “inflation”. Indeed, it has been so chronically […]

May 16, 2020 | Trading Desk Notes May 16, 2020

The Nasdaq 100 surged 9% into Monday’s highs on the back of 6 consecutive up days…but then it wobbled a bit…maybe due to rising US/China tensions…maybe due to fatigue after “too far / too fast”…maybe due to the wake up calls from Druckenmiller and others…or maybe it was just the “pause that refreshes” and the […]

May 15, 2020 | It’s Time to Investigate Journalists for Inside Trading

  The Washington Post is hellbent on trying to undermine the US economy solely for politics. The death rate is really less than 1%. I just went to the doctor and they told me personally that this entire virus scare is nonsense. The Washington Post is now trying to highlight that if just one person […]

May 15, 2020 | Industrial Production Declines Most in 101 Years

On the heels of miserable retail sales numbers comes the worst ever industrial production numbers. The Fed’s Industrial Production report provides another grim look at the Covid-19 wrecked economy. Total industrial production fell 11.2 percent in April for its largest monthly drop in the 101-year history of the index, as the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic led […]

May 15, 2020 | The Debate Over Negative Interest Rates Gets Hot

On May 13, 2020 Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell made a virtual speech warning about the weak U.S. economy, suggesting that fiscal and monetary policy makers must rise to the challenges caused by COVID-19. Since the Fed has already cut interest rates close to zero, announced unprecedented amounts of asset purchases and emergency lending programs, […]

May 15, 2020 | No Country for Long-Always

As I wrote last September when stock markets were rising and macro data weakening, bear markets with loss cycles greater than 20% are inevitable and recurring, but it’s not necessary that individuals lose along with them. The last decade has seen the longest financial market expansion in history to some of the most extreme valuation measures […]

May 15, 2020 | Silver Begins To Accelerate Higher Faster Than Gold

Precious metals have been on our radar for many months and, if you’ve been paying attention, you probably already know our research suggests Gold and Silver are one of the best investments you can make right now.  Recently, we shared this article suggesting Gold would need to rally above our proprietary Fibonacci Price Amplitude Arc […]

May 15, 2020 | Filthy Lucre

‘No cash.’ Anti-social signs like that cropped up everywhere after the virus came to town. Just one more way of building walls between people. Masks. Jumping off the sidewalk when someone approaches. Plexiglass shields. Sheltering at home. All of this has created a new reality. Covid, 1. Humanity, 0. Cash money isn’t exactly social glue, […]

May 15, 2020 | American Debt Is Exploding With Coronavirus Stimulus

SAN MARTIN, ARGENTINA – “If it bleeds, it leads,” say the old newspaper guys. Horrors and hobgoblins get the mob’s attention. Threats sell papers. And elect politicians. And elevate functionaries – Anthony Fauci, Jay Powell, etc. – to Elvis status. Lurid headlines tell us that a child has been struck down by a rare ailment… […]
