March 26, 2021 | Stock Market Investors Are Doomed When the Markets Correct

YOUGHAL, IRELAND – The moon is in its “Waxing Gibbous” phase… bright and bold, last night. And the lunatics are howling. At the macro level… the situation could scarcely be any zanier. The feds have spent $5 trillion, supposedly to cure an $800 billion loss in GDP caused by the COVID-19 panic and shutdowns. They […]

March 26, 2021 | Population Growth Gets Too Much Credit for Housing Bubble

Canadian population growth gets too much credit for rising house prices. In fact, in Calgary and Edmonton, house prices declined or stayed flat while population grew much faster than the Canadian average. But now Canadian population growth is slowing. Can population growth explain house price increases? Recent data from Statistics Canada show a significant decline […]

March 26, 2021 | Meeting Canada’s Aggressive Green Targets a Tall Order

OPINION: In this commentary for Resource Works, Jock Finlayson and Denise Mullen of the Business Council of British Columbia explain what a green recovery from COVID-19 might actually look like – and what it might cost.   Building back ‘clean’ and ‘green’ means trillions of dollars of investment, and the electrification of many machines and activities […]

March 26, 2021 | ‘We are Watching’

For the past nine months he’s been chronicling the bizarre housing in his neck of the woods on IG. “It’s crazy,” he says. “Each day I posted listings that were either insanely overpriced, missing photos, photos that were poor quality, houses that were messes, interesting features like stripper poles, etc.” Apparently that’s an appealing feature […]

March 26, 2021 | Biden’s First Press Conference – Oh Boy!

Biden is not competent to be President — plain and simple. During his first press conference, he had cheatsheets and only took questions from journalists who already agreed to never expose the truth. He had photos of all those in the room and the ones who were marked (see New York Post). He is desperately trying […]

March 25, 2021 | Canada, the Supreme Court Hold That Carbon Tax is Constitutional

In Canada, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Ottawa has the power to impose a carbon price across the country as a “matter of national concern.” This is a major win for Trudeau and he can really make sure that the Canadian economy further declines to enable the Build Back Better agenda. Let me make […]

March 25, 2021 | Have Commodities Peaked? We Doubt It

While everyone was paying attention to the FOMC, Gold & Silver, and the Treasury Yields, it appears the recent commodity rally trend took a big hit on Thursday, March 18, 2021.  Our guess is that the FOMC statement did nothing to support the continued commodity price rally as the US Fed continued with near-zero interest […]

March 25, 2021 | Remember: Inflationary Forecasts are Needed for Financial Product Sales

Being a risk-conscious financial manager has rarely, if ever, been as difficult as today. So long as recklessness reigns supreme, historical perspective, valuation discipline and patience remain the most undervalued commodities.  This, too, shall pass.  In the meantime, those of us with life-savings to lose are wise to be horrified at the opportunity set presently […]

March 25, 2021 | The Guardian

Are the bankers worried? One of them – a big poohbah at the nation’s largest lender – says it’s time to reconsider tax-free house gains. Gulp. Heresy. The country’s dominant real estate board has reacted in unvarnished disgust. And from the trenches, here’s the report of one of our own – slogging daily to hand […]

March 25, 2021 | Go For The Gold, BC

BC finds a silver lining in exploration investments but won’t strike gold without reform. Without regulatory and tax reforms, BC may lose two-thirds of its mines by 2040. In 2020, the global economy came to a screeching halt as the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe. Uncertainty in world markets drove investors to safe-haven investments […]

March 25, 2021 | The U.S. Government Considers Another New Economic Plan

YOUGHAL, IRELAND – One of the beautiful features of capitalism is that no matter how much money you have… or how you got it… there are always people willing and able to relieve you of it. An undiscovered need. An unmet desire. An opportunity to make even more money! There is no limit on how […]

QUESTION: Dear Mr. Armstrong, I would like to thank you for the private blog post on last Friday ‘The Dow the Week of 15th’. I have a question on the blog. I would be happy if you can respond to this on the private blog or email. In the phrase “you will own nothing”  , […]

March 24, 2021 | Giving it up

How craven has the world become? Reflect on these words from a Blog Dog currently on contract with one of the Big Banks. Working in any capacity that supports mortgage applications these days is similar to an all night shift in a Bangladesh garment factory..  The frenzy you detail on the blog each day is […]

March 24, 2021 | How to Stop Being Scared or Shaken Out Of Winning Trades

The markets really frightened a lot of people in the last month. We’ve received lots of emails and comments from people wondering what’s happening in the markets and why the deeper downtrend didn’t prompt new trade triggers.  Well, the quick answer is “this downtrend did prompt new BAN trade  triggers and this pullback is still […]

My father-in-law died last Thursday, two days short of 8.6 weeks after receiving his second dose of covid 19 vacciness. I begged and pleaded with my husband’s […]
