ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR INVESTMENT PROFESSIONAL BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT DECISION
August 20, 2020 | Has Big Money FINALLY Discovered Gold & Miners?
Gold took it on the chin on Wednesday, after the FOMC minutes came out. The Fed seemed to take a yield curve control program off the table, though it re-emphasized that it could “reassess in the future” and that the central bank is ready to act if the economy continues to slow. I think the […]
August 20, 2020 | Pay Up
Will all those who’ve made no mortgage payments since the spring get a further holiday? Big debate happening, and it seems the answer increasingly is… no. Sorry. The bug ain’t leaving anytime soon. Lots of big employers are keeping workers remote until 2021. That includes all the banks. Travel restrictions remain. Tourism, pro sports, conventions, […]
August 20, 2020 | Reality Check: Making Back Losses is Not The Same as Making Gains
Investment sales folks and Perma bulls who lost heavily in the first quarter are celebrating the rapid bounce back in market prices since March. Many cashed out with losses near the lows but have panicked and bought back higher in recent weeks. Others who held through the heart-pounding drop are relieved at the rebound, but […]
August 20, 2020 | AAPL Drags ‘Lunatic Stocks’ Higher, but Not the Dow
AAPL remains in thrall to madmen, mountebanks and keister bandits, although this crew could run out of room to manipulate the stock moonward very shortly. The Cupertino firm’s shares rose $10 on Thursday, settling at 472.83 and adding a total of $40 billion of ‘wealth’ to the net worth of Switzerland and, probably, every homeowner […]
August 20, 2020 | Will A Weak Dollar Bail Out Emerging Markets? Nope
Back in the simpler days of 2019, there was this (now completely forgotten) impending crisis in which emerging market countries’ dollar-denominated debt was going to blow up their – and by extension the rest of the world’s – economies. The short version of the story is that China, Brazil and some other up-and-comers decided to […]

August 19, 2020 | The Real Masters Behind the Scenes
QUESTION: Hi Martin, I read your blog with great fascination recently as the great Covid hoax continues. You talk about the global agenda for one world government and I sadly agree with your assessment. I do wonder though if you have an opinion on who the real masters are? David Icke calls them ‘the cult’ […]
August 19, 2020 | Podesta & Military Coup
I seriously doubt that the majority of people even think this election is anything but normal. Many hate Trump simply because of his Tweets. Others cannot even explain why they hate him so much. This has been an information war from RussiaGate to Impeachments. The divide between Republicans and Democrats has never been this […]
August 19, 2020 | Lacy Hunt: Monetary Inflation is Transitory and Ultimately Growth-Depressing
Piling on more debt today, just to keep the economy afloat, will lead to decades of slow growth and potential disinflation. The Fed is not able to sustainably lift growth or inflation. Hoisington Management economist Lacy Hunt’s recent Bloomberg interview is worth the read at this link. Here’s a taste: When the Fed initiated QE1, QE2 […]
August 19, 2020 | Everything Went the ‘Wrong’ Way
An interesting day, since nearly everything went the ‘wrong’ way: stocks, the Nasdaq 100 and even the lunatic sector were down while the dollar actually rose. Bullion got hit pretty hard, crude fell, and AAPL’s solid gains from earlier in the day were reversed. Could the foregoing herald a major tone change? It’s possible, although […]
August 19, 2020 | Don’t Laugh
More Chrystia. More tax. After yesterday, it’s apparent they mesh. So, prepare. The prime minister, in suspending Parliament, said the Covid crisis has created the opportunity for a big reset. ‘We can’t let it pass,’ he added. ‘This window will close.’ And this: “We need to get through this pandemic in a way that gives […]

August 18, 2020 | Gold, Real Money & the Wizard of Oz
The Fed’s money-printing presses are running at ludicrous speeds. And what the government doesn’t print, it just borrows on credit and spends. The Federal debt is approaching $27 trillion at ballistic speeds. By 2028, it is projected to rise to $78 trillion! How does any civilization keep going like this for long? As I mentioned […]

August 18, 2020 | Ahhh, the Suspense…
The S&Ps flirted with new record highs for the sixth straight day, waiting for news that could conceivably be used to squeeze shorts for a few headline inches. Besides the presumptive structural resistance at the old highs, there’s an important Hidden Pivot obstacle that was first mentioned here in early June. Together they represent layers […]
August 18, 2020 | Bill & The Bus
An ominous buff-coloured envelope sat on my desk that morning. Never a good sign. Only the publisher had stationary like that. And you never wanted to hear from him. “The prime minister has requested that you cease referring to the finance minister as ‘Mikey’”, it said. “It is the position of this newspaper that you […]
August 18, 2020 | US Dollar Has A Lot Of Upside Potential – Part III
Presidential election cycles drive US Dollar trends. US Dollar expected to rise before the election and then stall right before the day of the election. Money will start shifting away from the stock market now, and traders will likely target safe-haven investments and undervalued traditional investments (dividends, blue chips, utilities, energy, bonds, consumer service and […]

QUESTION: Being there is lots of trouble coming after the election, does Socrates see a mass exit of people to other countries ie Canada? CM ANSWER: No, the indication is the opposite.
