June 14, 2021 | World Economic Leaders Promote “More Spending”
Americans are getting stronger. Twenty years ago, it took two people to carry ten dollars’ worth of groceries. Today, a five-year-old can do it. – A Henny Youngman quote sent by a dear reader YOUGHAL, IRELAND – Newsflash from the G7 summit in Cornwall! Here’s the Financial Times: Biden wins backing from G7 leaders to “carry […]
June 14, 2021 | Going Hyper
As the pandemic passes, will puppies get cheaper? How about plywood? Or properties? These are odd days. The virus hit. The economy cratered. Government freaked. Jobs were lost. Lockdowns, quarantines and restrictions hit, which are only now (15 months later) being peeled back. And yet during this time the price of almost everything swelled like […]
June 14, 2021 | How HIGH Can It Fly? Tilray And Cannabis ETF (MJ) Prepare To Rally 25% More To The Upside
Over the past few weeks, a unique opportunity continues to unfold in the Cannabis & Marijuana sector. I highlighted this near the end of May 2021 with a research article showing how a multiple upside price wave setup may start to unfold after a recent momentum base/bottom setup across various cannabis/marijuana sector symbols. The confluence […]

The average age of all cars and light trucks on the road in 2021 in the US, regardless of how many times they have been traded, jumped by about two months from last year, to a record of 12.1 years, according to IHS Markit today. “Average age” means that a portion of the vehicles are […]
June 13, 2021 | Resistance is not Futile – The Little Guy Can Win
The interesting thing about small dogs is they do not realize they are small. We need to think the same way. For years I have watched the pros focus on statistics and get caught by surprise. The stats reflect what the average person already did last month, quarter, or year. Plenty of times I […]
June 13, 2021 | The Tort
Corey’s in crisis. Life was all plotted, the way lawyers like it. Predictable path: career first, then wife, then house. Clause by clause. Motion, discovery and deposition. Alas, she split. So at 41 he has the means and motive, but no opportunity. Naturally (as all troubled lawyers do) he wrote me: “I make $200k plus […]
June 13, 2021 | State Budgets Shout ‘TOGA!!!!’
Flush with stimulus, the states are in a spending mood that can be summed up in a single word: TOGA!!!!! Take Oklahoma.

You can’t always get what you want But if you try sometime you find You get what you need —by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, 1969 There’s no way around it: Investing in public companies is always political. Corporations exist because governments charter these artificial entities and legally shield the owners (shareholders) from personal liability. […]

June 12, 2021 | Trading Desk Notes For June 12, 2021
A Powerful Key Turn Date at the end of March No market exists in splendid isolation. When any market moves, it impacts other markets – to some degree. When several markets reverse direction simultaneously, I call that a Key Turn Date (KTD) and see that as a powerful market signal. The power of the “signal” increases with the […]

YOUGHAL, IRELAND – Well… yesterday we got the news. If we have $100,000 in cash today… at the present rate of inflation, it will be worth only $95,000 by this time next year. Keep it up for 14 years, and half your money will be wiped out. Barron’s has the details: On a year-over-year basis, […]
June 11, 2021 | Higher Inflation Puts a Popular Investment at Risk
U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation increased by 5 percent year-over-year, and 0.6 percent in the month of May – an annual rate of 7.2 percent. The core CPI, which excludes the volatile components of food and energy, rose even faster at 0.7 percent. What popular investment would lose 43 percent if this level of inflation […]
June 11, 2021 | Why the Cancellation of Keystone is Bad for the Climate, The Environment and Canada
As TC Energy officially abandons Keystone, scientist Blair King argues canceling Keystone neither reduces emissions nor Albertan oil production. By now we all know that President Biden has cancelled the Presidential Permit for the Keystone XL (KXL) pipeline. Needless to say, climate activists gleefully celebrated the decision. But, as I pointed out, cancelling KXL will not […]

The fire chief replied to my letter and warned darkly about the dangers of “firing burning things up into the sky.” But no, he said, there isn’t any local bylaw preventing a non-politically-correct guy from lighting the night on July the first. So I will. From the roof of the wee bank which, thankfully, is […]

I have been warning that since 1999, there has been a shift in government where the UNELECTED bureaucrats seek to take over the country.

June 10, 2021 | Get Past The Slogans: What You Need To Know About Old Growth
When advocates call for ending “old growth logging,” what do they mean? And why is it being logged? A forestry worker gets past the rhetoric. It’s perfectly reasonable to be against logging certain areas and advocate for an expansion of protected forests. Perhaps you even hold a stance against old growth logging, based solely on […]
June 10, 2021 | Criminals and Climate Intensify Focus on Cryptocurrencies
Each story of criminals using cryptocurrencies to facilitate their activities intensifies the efforts of governments and businesses to stop them. The US Congress is now considering legislation to ban companies from paying ransoms to reduce the leverage of cybercriminals in exacting payments. This week, the Chinese Police Arrested 1,100 People for Money Laundering With Cryptocurrencies. While […]
