October 19, 2020 | The End is Nigh (not)

The American stock market sits near a record high. In the middle of a recession. And a pandemic. Which grows worse. With a crazy uncle dude as president. How can this be? How can it last? Nary a week passes on this pathetic site without some wuss predicting collapse. Mayhem. Apocalypse. A market crash and […]

October 19, 2020 | Canadian Consumer Confidence Weak, Faith in Realty Prices Unshaken

Still missing some 25% of jobs lost in the first shutdown phase, Canadians are feeling less confident as the most populous areas in Ontario and Quebec re-enter Stage 2 restrictions, banning indoor dining, gyms and movie theaters for at least 28 days. The Bloomberg Nanos Canadian Confidence Index, a composite measure of financial health and […]

October 18, 2020 | Nothing is Normal

First, Trump. Then Chrystia. The world’s holding its virus-tinged breath awaiting November the 3rd and the outcome of the American election which has been as weird as expected. That crazy uncle is now being given a 12% chance of winning, while the boring old guy gets 87% odds (the latest from fivethirtyeight.com). But, who knows? 2016 […]

October 18, 2020 | An Outrageously Bullish Election Scenario

  Here’s a stock-market scenario so outrageous that you may want to consider it, especially if you like longshot bets that are underpriced.

October 18, 2020 | Doji Clusters Show Clear Support Ranges On The S&P500

Clusters of Doji shaped candles have, for centuries, illustrated very clear levels of support/resistance in price action.  Whenever multiple Doji candles appear in a cluster-like formation, traders should pay attention to these levels as future support/resistance ranges for price action.  In the case of the S&P500 E-Mini Futures Daily Chart, we can clearly see three […]

October 18, 2020 | Caught in a Debt Trap

We’re caught in a trap I can’t walk out Because I love you too much baby Elvis Presley’s rendition of Suspicious Minds topped the record charts in 1969.

October 16, 2020 | The Runts

Would you live in 455 square feet? Or pay six hundred thousand bucks to do so? Nah, didn’t think so. That’s less space than a decent garage. Thirteen hundred dollars for every 12 inches of it. Plus monthly fees, insurance premiums, utilities and property taxes. But thousands of these micro-condos have been built over the […]

QUESTION: Interest on savings instruments (i.e. CD) for 1 yr terms is non-existent at <= 1.0%.  Why would interest rates increase in a digital currency system/world? IS ANSWER: The only reason rates would rise is by simultaneously converting the debt to perpetual. They have to end Keynesian Economics. They cannot raise rates as long as they have […]

October 15, 2020 | They are Banning Halloween, Thanksgiving, & Christmas

Perhaps people will wake up soon and see that while they have turned COVID-19 into an issue to try to defeat Trump, that is only the tip of the iceberg. Restrictions will continue well into 2021 and they are planning to keep this up to save the planet. They have already called off Halloween. Fauci […]

October 15, 2020 | ‘Prepping’ Your Business for Imminent Deflation

It bears repeating: We’re heading into a new “Dark Ages” of deflation. Last week, we saw how this will impact you, your family and your community on a personal level. Today, I want to address how this will impact you if you own or run a business. Because a “typical” reaction to a downturn could, quite […]

October 15, 2020 | Perfect Storm For Realty Investors: Rising Vacancies and Ralling Rents

In Picketty and the decline of dirty mansions, Dylan Reid reminds of the debt-driven economic boom that built large single-family mansions in the early twentieth century.  Many were converted to more efficient and affordable multiple-unit dwellings in the bust years that followed.  In the process, working people who had been priced out of many areas could move […]

October 15, 2020 | Bulls Seem to Be Saying ‘Up Yours!’

I featured a cautionary headline atop this page for the last two days, but they way stocks have been behaving, we all might as well throw caution to the wind.

Mr. Market wavered a little this week as the virus misbehaved. That silver-bullet vaccine has yet to surface. Europe’s going into lockdown again. You can’t eat inside a Toronto restaurant anymore. A majority of US states have rising infections. And the American president says after being exposed and sick he’s now immune, so whazza problem? […]

October 14, 2020 | The Insanity of Central Banks

QUESTION: Marty, you mentioned several times now, that the ECB MUST convert to a digital Euro. I have done speeches about that based on a paper from the IMF (Christine Lagarde) last year, in which they too discuss how to do it. But I have a serious question regarding timing. I live in Germany and I would […]
