April 21, 2021 | Fourth Industrial Revolution Failure

QUESTION: As a programmer and a client of Socrates, I can tell this is not some neural net or deep learning AI program. What you have created goes far beyond that. Do you care to share your design? HS ANSWER: No. I fooled around with neural nets back in the 80s. I could see they […]

April 21, 2021 | Bankruptcy Wave Delayed, But Building

I’ve often mentioned that bankruptcy filings usually peak some 18 months after a recession ends.  Government support and payment deferrals have delayed bankruptcies flowing from the COVID-19 triggered depression, but the deadwood is building all the same. The go-to maneuver has been to keep raising capital at rock bottom yields from risk-indiscriminate lenders and investors.  […]

April 21, 2021 | Budget 2021 and natural resources

From R&D to low emission fuels and national trade corridors, Budget 2021 means big things for natural resources, says Margareta Dovgal. Following the release of the federal budget, Resource Works published a thread of analysis on points relating to natural resources, edited below. Resource Works is pleased to see many items relating to recommendations provided by the Task […]

April 21, 2021 | The Flip, Part Deux

Changes in the wind. Pay attention. The Bank of Canada is pulling back on the throttle. Finally. Weekly bond-buying that stood at an incredible $5 billion every seven days last year and dropped to $4 billion in the autumn is heading down to three. This means the ongoing suppression of interest rates in the bond […]

April 20, 2021 | Who Are You Trading Against?

QUESTION: Hi Marty, hope your are doing well. I have some question regarding trading to you. Why is this game mentally and physically so hard to learn… normally every trade has a 50:50 chance but if I enter the market everything is going „different“. Just trade against me and you will become even much richer, its […]

April 20, 2021 | A Real Boom Versus a Fake Boom

YOUGHAL, IRELAND – What a jolly time. A boo… boo… ka-boom! JPMorgan Chase CEO and chairman Jamie Dimon sees it coming: I have little doubt that with excess savings, new stimulus savings, huge deficit spending, more QE, a new potential infrastructure bill, a successful vaccine, and euphoria around the end of the pandemic, the U.S. […]

April 20, 2021 | Economic Boom Could Put a Spring in Your Portfolio!

We’re presently in the dead of winter — economically speaking — where government oversight holds sway over economic, political and social life. What comes after winter? That would be spring … … with new innovation from the private sector and economic boom times into the SIXTH Kondratieff Wave! Nikolai D. Kondratieff’s views were anathema to […]

April 20, 2021 | Lumber in La La Land Too

Parabolic lumber prices are not due to a lack of trees. Consolidation in mills over the past couple of decades is part of the story.  But most of all, the familiar forces of cheap credit, rampant financial speculation and stockpiling are all at work here.  Once again, we will find that financial bubbles are neither […]

April 20, 2021 | ‘The Market Has Flipped’

So Chrystia the Impaler turned out to be more of a Milquetoast Mama. The budget will be quickly forgotten, especially when it comes to pricing a house. Sorry, newbie would-be buyers, but the feds want real estate to run hot. That’s now clear. They did absolutely nothing to cool this sucker off, not even lip […]

April 19, 2021 | Nuclear Power for Canada, IKEA-Style

With immeasurable amounts of energy and zero CO2 emissions, it’s nuclear’s moment, says Resource Minister Seamus O’Regan. Canada has long been a leader in nuclear power. But with emerging 21st-century nuclear technologies, Canada is talking nuclear-generated electricity in a way it never has. We now generate some 15% of our power from nuclear reactors, with 18 in […]

April 19, 2021 | The Feds’ Fraud Has Made Wealth a Gamble

YOUGHAL, IRELAND – When the money goes, everything goes. Today, we look at what went last week. Yes, Dear Reader, at this late, degenerate stage of the Bubble Epoch, nothing is so crazy… so absurd… or so appalling that it isn’t front-page news. And from Capitol Hill last week came the usual pernicious headlines. First, the […]

April 19, 2021 | Budget Day

It’s budget day. The much anticipated Federal budget is front and centre, with many citizens eagerly watching with bated breath, what, if anything, the Government will do to address the housing crisis. There are rumours suggesting there are plans to tax vacant residential property owned by non-resident, non-Canadian owners. We shall see. However, it’s unlikely […]

April 19, 2021 | The Shadow

Budget Day. This won’t take long, despite the fact the doc ran more than 720 pages and took two years to arrive. The feds are addicted to spending. No wonder grey Bay Streeter Bill Morneau couldn’t hack it any more. Chrystia and Justin are taking deficit and debt to levels nobody ever thought possible. The […]
