May 26, 2021 | Where is Canada’s “Just Transition”?

With thousands of jobs on the line and challenges meeting its net-zero emissions goals, Canada needs to get serious. That means being realistic, and it means having a plan for energy workers. Laid-off energy workers. Photo from MyMcMurray As the world slowly transitions to renewable energy, what will happen to oil and gas workers in Canada? […]

May 26, 2021 | Money Machines

Right on cue the first of the Big 6 banks did a triple-bagger. BeeMo announced Tuesday it made over $2 billion in the latest three-month period despite the recession and record low interest rates. Oh yeah, and a pandemic. Earnings momentum was down a little from earlier, thanks mostly to the Third Wave, but that […]

May 26, 2021 | Vaccines Are for Sheep?

COMMENT #1: Hello Marty, I hope you are well. We are living in a “crazy” world. Some states are desperately trying to bribe people to get their poisonous shots. Here in Ohio, there is a program called, Ohio vax a million, where Ohio residents can have a “chance” to win a million dollars or full ride […]

May 26, 2021 | Stock Market Cycles Tipping The Balance From Euphoria To Complacency – Is Gold Setting Up For A Rally Above $2000 Again?

Gold has set up a very strong confluence pattern across multiple foreign currencies recently.  This upside confluence pattern suggests that Gold has now moved into a much stronger bullish price phase compared to various currency pairs.  This upside move in precious metals aligns very well with my broad market cycle phase research. I urge traders/investors […]

May 25, 2021 | ‘Inflate or Die!’

Governments and central banks will do everything they can to keep their economies sputtering along. The primary way is to keep printing money. Of course, that only adds to the debt … Which becomes so large, even the interest on the debt becomes unmanageable. So, what do central banks do? They keep interest rates near […]

May 25, 2021 | Short Subject

Again and again, I have stressed that silver has been suppressed in price for decades by the concentrated short position of the 4 and 8 largest traders in COMEX futures. Many have come to accept this, but my findings do not have universal acceptance. That’s too bad because it’s all that matters in determining price. […]

This is hump day, apparently. It’s the moment when more than half the US population has been jabbed. According to Wall Street that’s the net effect of 164 million people (61% of the population) having had a first dose and 130 million who are fully vaccinated. New shots are being administered at the rate of […]

May 25, 2021 | Comedy is Dead

I remember going to see Donald Rickles (1926–2017)  at the Latin Casino back in the day. There wasn’t a race, gender, or religion he left untouched. But he always simply exploited the differences in a humorous manner. Back then, if you could not laugh at yourself, you were considered unsociable and something was wrong with […]

May 24, 2021 | We Peaked in March

The Bank of Canada is suddenly worried about rising debt loads and extrapolative expectations in the nations housing market. Following the central banks update to their financial stability review, governor Tiff Macklem took to the airwaves, “Some people may be thinking that the kind of price increases we have seen recently will continue. That would be […]

May 24, 2021 | How Canada can be a leader in the new global net zero pathway

The International Energy Agency has examined what exactly the phrase net zero by 2050 means in practical terms. Stewart Muir takes a close look. How could Canada go ahead and lead with the new net-zero approach? The concept is outlined in a report from the International Energy Agency issued in May 2021. Th It turns out to be a goal of staggering difficulty. Yet, with a […]

May 24, 2021 | China Steps Up Zero Tolerance for Commodity ‘Speculators and Hoarders’

As I explained here, because commodities and commodity futures are widely stockpiled and traded by speculators, users and producers alike, prices can wildly disconnect from supply and demand factors, misleading inflation expectations and intensifying social unrest. Over the past year of record financial stimulants and job loss, food prices have risen for 11 consecutive months, according […]

May 24, 2021 | BOMAD

The venerable Bank of Mom’s been in the headlines again. MSM outlets – TV and print (what still remains) – have been churning out copy on how parental money is the only possible way that adult spawn (many Millennials are now closing in on 40) can get a house. Here’s an interesting quote in the […]

May 24, 2021 | They Microchip Pets – Don’t They?

QUESTION: I saw the video with the magnets. This is strange but how are they putting a chip in people and for what purpose? Tracking? ND ANSWER: I would suspect, at best, they are nano bites. There have been experiments with animals that allow researchers to remotely control their behavior. My problem is not dreaming […]

May 23, 2021 | Why Tax-Free Munis Are Still a Buy

    Investors who feared muni-bond defaults when the pandemic first hit created unusual opportunity for those willing to buck the tide. One of the winners was Doug Behnfield, a Boulder-based financial adviser at Morgan Stanley whose ideas have been featured here many times over the years. Doug is not only one of the savviest […]

May 23, 2021 | Expecting Inflation

The annual whirlwind is over. SIC was once again a mental overload. This year our virtual schedule spread it over almost two weeks, which was actually nice. The in-between days let the ideas settle a bit before the firehose opened again. Fifty powerful, thoughtful speakers are a lot to absorb. As promised, I’ll continue sharing […]

May 23, 2021 | Can You Guess What The Number One Most Overlooked Factor In Options Pricing That Most Traders Ignore Is?

Over the past year, the world we live in has drastically changed.  In the covid era, we have lived in the midst of a pandemic requiring limited personal interactions with people outside our households and seemingly endless precautions in an effort to slow the spread.  In short, the world we live in today is radically […]

May 22, 2021 | Ford Gets Serious with Electric F-150 and Home Back Up Power

Not only will these trucks be much cheaper to run than ICE versions, no one will need a loud, expensive, gas-powered backup home generator either.  Smart-tech is going mainstream, at last. The F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in Canada for 11 years in a row, and Ford’s first all-electric pickup truck is to be […]

May 22, 2021 | Trading Desk Notes For May 22, 2021

Speculative excesses are starting to crack My base case is that speculative excesses have driven many markets too high, too fast. Some markets that attracted massive speculative money flows have started to crack – perhaps an early warning sign for other markets that remain near their highs. I expect these initial “cracks” in speculative excess […]
