April 18, 2021 | Agorism in Japan

James Corbett is indeed a force to be reckoned with in alternative media, with his prolific, rigorous, and eye-opening work at The Corbett Report garnering much deserved respect and attention across agorist and anarchist circles globally. Even outside of these spheres of influence, he’s making a big impact. Agorist Nexus contributor Graham Smith recently tracked him down […]

April 18, 2021 | A Simple Explanation for Bitcoin’s Plunge

Bitcoin mania hit an air pocket on Sunday with a so-far $11,500 plunge from last week’s record-high $64,858. Groping for an explanation, Bloomberg and other mainstream sources attributed the drop to speculation that the U.S. Treasury might crack down on digital-money laundering. Yeah, sure. This tired story has been marking time for a decade, ever […]

April 18, 2021 | Are Metals & Miners Starting A New Longer-Term Bullish Trend?

Almost in stealth mode, precious metals have begun to bottom and start a new upside price trend while the US stock market focused on the FOMC meeting a few weeks back and current economic data.  Gold, Silver, and many of the Miner ETFs recently started a moderately strong push higher – almost completely behind the […]

April 18, 2021 | Tsunami Warning

A tsunami is a wall of water that wipes out everything in its path, typically caused by earthquakes. But first, the water actually disappears from the usual shoreline, leaving land where there should be sea.

April 17, 2021 | Trading Desk Notes For April 17, 2021

Stock indices: Soar to new All-Time Highs, again. The DJIA rallied ~16,000 points (~90%) in thirteen months from the panic lows last March to today. There were two parts to the rally – the first 50% was driven by massive Central Bank stimulus even as the virus battered the real economy. The second 50%, beginning […]

April 16, 2021 | To The Core

Just three more sleeps before B-Day. Will Chrystia and Justin drop the hammer on housing? Nibble around the edges? Throw gas on the flames? The debate has been raging. Some bankers (RBC, BMO) are literally begging for a govy intervention to save people from themselves. Other financial heavyweights (TD, Scotia) argue things will self-correct, especially […]

April 16, 2021 | Central Banks are Nervous as CPI Soars

Rapid inflation reared its ugly head this month, as the Consumer Price Index hit 2.6 percent gain for the last year. The price increase for energy was closer to 15 percent, while food was almost 4 percent. If the CPI keeps rising at this pace, as some predict, interest rates will rise. What will central […]

April 16, 2021 | Yet Another Ridiculous Stock Market Bubble, In Three Charts

The Fiat Currency Age is nothing if not repetitious. There are dozens of charts that illustrate how closely today’s financial bubble resembles its predecessors. But simple is better when expressing a hard truth, so let’s go with that old standby, margin debt. This is debt created when over-stimulated investors borrow against their stocks to buy […]

April 16, 2021 | Extraordinary Markets Promise Extraordinary Opportunity for the Prepared

In a product-creating financial world paid to sell us growth and inflation narratives, sober risk-reward assessments are not well tolerated.  In the past 24 years, I’ve had to be bearish more often than bullish, but it’s not my fault, in fairness.  I’m a naturally optimistic person.  It’s just that my entire career as a financial […]

April 15, 2021 | What Happens if Canada Loses an Oil Pipeline?

A Parliamentary committee has looked at what would happen if the United States goes through with Michigan’s threat to cripple the Canadian economy by unilaterally shutting down the Line 5 pipeline. It might sound like a scenario from Ukraine-Russian relations, but in fact it is happening right here, right now on the world’s longest undefended […]

April 15, 2021 | CNN Deliberately Manipulating Public

   Jeff Zucker was named Chairman of WarnerMedia News and Sports in March 2019. He has also served as president of CNN Worldwide since 2013. If I were Zucker, I would hire an army to protect myself and my family. He is engaged in overthrowing the United States and trashing everything generations have fought […]

April 15, 2021 | Central Banks Trying Every Trick To Boost Inflation

I have explained many times that central banks worry that falling inflation (disinflation) and outright deflation reduce the incentive for spending and capital flow into financial markets. The theory goes that if consumers and businesses believe that prices will be flat or lower in the future, they have less incentive to spend today. Moreover, if […]

When not doing my day job, I moderate comments on this blog and try not to throw up. It’s a challenge. Here’s a recent example. April 14, 2021. The beginning of the end. When two of the largest banks, JP Morgan Chase, and Wells Fargo, report earnings on the same day. Between these two banks, […]

COMMENT: You are just a right-wing anti-vaxer. anonymous REPLY: I am glad you believe everything every politician ever has to say if they are on the LEFT. The FDA was supposed to be independent. The government’s role under this social contract is supposed to stand between us and corporate greed. The government has used COVID […]

In spite of a concerted pressure campaign to sideline the Indigenous group’s economic opportunities, this Vancouver Island people is an example of how reconciliation and development go hand-in-hand, writes Josiah Haynes. Not long ago, two-thirds of Pacheedaht First Nation band members lived outside their ancestral land. Work was hard to find, and of its 163,000 […]

April 14, 2021 | High Market Capitalization Bodes Poorly for Investment Returns

A December 2020 paper entitled The Big Bang:  Stock Market Capitalization in the Long Run, confirms that we have been living through a highly unusual period in financial markets. While advanced-economy stock market capitalization to GDP ratios were pretty constant between 1870 and 1990s, they tripled in what the authors call a “big bang” in the […]
