May 21, 2021 | Unaffordable Canadian Homes Get Snapped Up by Eager Buyers

Canadian house prices continue to soar higher in April, making this epic housing bubble a story for the record books. While affordability has been stretched for several years now, with annual price gains of 20 percent fewer and fewer Canadians can buy houses based on income. How can people afford to chase prices ever higher? […]

May 21, 2021 | Inflation Expectations Peak?

As I detailed last week in Inflation-cycle déjà vu, commodity prices lead inflation expectations, and inflation readings are a lagging economic indicator.   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 and, hence, mislead inflation expectations. As shown below in my […]

May 21, 2021 | More Stress

We’re ten days from a mortgage crunch. This week the Trudeau gang capitulated and will be making it harder for first-time buyers to get home loans. It’s not a bombshell. But it’s a bullet. Aimed at the heart of real estate speculation. Effective June first everybody applying for financing – those with 20% or more […]

May 20, 2021 | NYC in Crash Mode?

  New York City is dying thanks to COVID. It has really killed Broadway. When I would often go to a play, the vast majority were tourists from overseas. I would often listen to the different languages being spoken around me. New York City is clearly dying as a mass exodus has taken place of […]

May 20, 2021 | How COVID-19 Stimulus Made America’s Wealthiest Even Richer

YOUGHAL, IRELAND – The super-rich must be the loneliest, most miserable people on the planet. They are in a class by themselves… separated from the masses by nearly $32 trillion. That’s the difference between what the top 1% of Americans own and the wealth of the bottom 50%. And the 1% knows something the rest […]

May 20, 2021 | Fed Policies Boost Billionaire Net Worth 50% in One Year

Unlike most, billionaires have more money than they can spend in a lifetime.  Hence they have a higher risk tolerance for losses and tend to hold a lot of assets of all kinds.  This has made them ideally situated to benefit from the $9 trillion of central bank injections into financial markets over the past […]

The reopening trade continues. You ready? Jobless claims in the States have fallen to the lowest point in the pandemic. Ontario is announcing its reopening plan. Quebec’s already there. In NYC a mask-burning party took place on East 51st Street. “Vaccinated New Yorkers, liberated by the coronavirus vaccination and repealed protocols, torched their medical, surgical, […]

May 20, 2021 | Where’s Fox Mulder When We Need Him?

Pretty much everyone over 40 remembers a riveting but ultimately frustrating 1990s TV show called the X-Files, in which aliens show up and make some extreme demands on the world’s governments. Hopelessly outgunned, the governments not only surrender but volunteer to help with the transition to alien rule. All unbeknownst to the public, of course. […]

May 20, 2021 | The Most Splendid Housing Bubbles in Canada: Even the Bank of Canada Gets Nervous and Tapers

The first thing to know about the housing bubble in Canada is what the Bank of Canada has been doing, after its furious bout of QE: In October last year, it tapered purchases of Government of Canada bonds by one notch and also ended buying mortgage-backed securities. In March, it started unwinding its liquidity facilities, […]

May 20, 2021 | Resistance is Not Futile only 37.5% of Americans are Vaccinated

This is a protest in London against the BBC and fake news. I am warning journalists that they better get on the right side. History warns when this all turns ugly, they will be dragging the journalists out for conspiring against the people with the governments, Bill Gates, and Schwab’s WEF. So far, only 37.5% […]

May 19, 2021 | Fed Faith is Not an Investment Strategy

An insightful article in the FT today courtesy of John Hussman (see The Myths behind the current stock market bubble) considers the belief system widely held today that central bank liquidity can support extreme and irrational asset valuations indefinitely:  “Years of intervention have cast central banks as tools of self-reinforcing speculation. Mere phrases such as “Fed support” now […]

May 19, 2021 | Yup, it’s Here

Have you noticed value stocks are hot lately? WFH ones are not. There’s a reason for this. The pandemic is ending. The reopening trade has pushed equity markets into record territory for months now. About 160 million Americans have been jabbed and this week Canada passed the 50% mark. Once vaccinations hit 70% or above, […]

May 19, 2021 | US Stock Market Attempts To Break Support Channel – What’s Next

The recent price volatility related to the surprise Jobs number, nearly ten days ago, and the potential for inflationary price trends extended beyond the Fed expectations has created a unique type of sideways price rotation on the INDU chart.  This recent price volatility suggests the markets are struggling to identify future trend bias as well […]
