January 22, 2021 | No Taxation Without Reform

QUESTION: In your opinion, how serious is the idea of taxing unrealized capital gains? That would sure make the decision a lot clearer for big money on where to park. 3% in China sure beats big taxes in the Dow. Unless big money doesn’t trust China. DS ANSWER: I seriously doubt that they will do what is […]

January 22, 2021 | Democrat Compulsions About Political Novelties

In just going back to President Lyndon B. Johnson, Democrats have been pixilated by political novelty. Often trashing being sensible, but for Democrats—what is sensible? LBJ was a “dirt-poor” teacher from a “dirt-poor” part of Texas. Who when not picking up dogs by their ears or specifically detailing the next day’s bombing targets in North Vietnam, […]

January 22, 2021 | Progress Requires Redirecting Where Money Goes

Just as junk food fills a near-term hole but undermines health, so too are easy money policies.

January 22, 2021 | The Frenzy

The pound poll, results posted here yesterday, had a sample size over 5,000. Rarely do surveys in Canada query that many people. Of course, none of you were randomly selected, since that would be far too frightening. But, still, it’s a mess of folks. And the numbers confirm suspicions this blog has held for a […]

January 21, 2021 | K-Wave – Real or No

QUESTION: What is your opinion on Kondratieff Waves? EH ANSWER: All those investigating cycles within the economy made a simple mistake.

January 21, 2021 | The Global Financial Bubble will Implode. Will you use it to your benefit?

For those who are mandated to always be in equities (like pensions and long always funds) emerging market stocks are less extremely valued than developed markets and could drop less than when the present global bubble pops.  But a loss of maybe 30% versus 50%+ is still a huge setback. With the risk-trade massively correlated […]

January 21, 2021 | All About You

Looks like the typical blog dog is a 40ish-something professional earning above-average income who’s pro-vax and upon whom the slimy little pathogen has showered a heap of new net worth. Students don’t come here. Retirees are relatively scarce. And a majority  scurried home when the virus arrived, then made their dogs deliriously happy by staying […]

January 21, 2021 | Are The Democrats Really in a Bear Market?

QUESTION: You say that the Democratic Party is on the decline but it would appear to be the exact opposite. The GOP proved to be traitors when they turned against Trump, and many people I know have said they will never vote Republican again. Also, now that the Democrats are able to rig elections and […]

January 21, 2021 | Is Bitcoin Strangling The Other Cryptos? Part 2: The Little Guys Are Soaring

The idea that “bitcoin is its own asset class” and should therefore be judged based on its own highly-constrained supply rests on the assumption that the rest of cryptospace consists of “shitcoins” that will evaporate as bitcoin, with its first-mover advantage, network effects, etc., eats the rest of the currency world and becomes the one […]

January 20, 2021 | ‘Vaccine Hopes’ Must Now Face Reality

Those who write about such things have attributed virtually every stock-market rally since March 23 to ‘vaccine hopes’.  They have overworked and over-hyped this phrase with no sense of irony or awareness; for it is not so much ‘hope’ that has powered stocks to insane levels, but stimulus steroids pumped into a beast that was […]

January 20, 2021 | Tale of Two

It’s been an economic crisis like no other. For the first time in a century we locked down whole cities. Provinces, even. Travel restrictions. Bars, eateries, hair salons, gyms, arenas, shops, theatres all shut. Never in our lifetimes have the streets been full of people in masks or has transit ridership plunged 90%. Entertainment, tourism […]

January 20, 2021 | The Enslavement of Fear

QUESTION: I just can’t understand why the military armed forces and secret intelligence services all agree with the Marxist left.  Why? MG ANSWER: Make no mistake about it. The left seeks to enslave everyone out of fear. The mass of the military, military establishment, and the intelligence services want war. They do not want peace. […]
