October 20, 2021 | S&P500 Rallies Above $4400 – May Attempt To Advance To $4750~$4800

Two main factors are driving the rally in the US stock markets recently; retail traders buying the dip, and Q3:2021 earnings data is starting to shake away the concerns that resulted in the recent market rotation. Combine these activities with the start of the Christmas Rally phase (which usually starts sometime after mid/late-October and carries […]

October 19, 2021 | Are the US Supply Chain Disruptions Deliberate?

Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo may have accidentally leaked the cause of America’s supply chain issues. “The reality is the only way we’re going to get to a place where we work through this transition is if everyone in America and everyone around the world gets vaccinated,” Adeyemo admitted in an interview with ABC News. […]

October 19, 2021 | Back to the Offer Table

It was back to the offer table for Canadian house shoppers. After a brief pause in shopping activity, home buyers returned in September. Sales activity increased 0.9% from August, as new listings declined. Low inventory levels continue to decimate the nations housing market as buyers pick over the scraps. There is just 2.1 months of inventory […]

October 19, 2021 | Self-Dealing Central Banks all in with No Plan to Sobriety

Central banks are not actually “running markets.” They are running market psychology, that is, for so long as participants are willing to buy in. As we saw last in March 2020, once misplaced confidence inevitably falters, risk bets implode rapid-fire, all at once.  This multi-trillion dollar game of chicken run by the self-dealing financial cartel […]

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – What a marvelous time to be alive… with a front-row seat to watch a great empire stumble and fall! It only happens once every hundred years or so… So pull up a chair and enjoy the show. Here’s the big news, from Bloomberg: U.S. Factory Output Falls in Fresh Supply-Chain Warning Production […]

October 18, 2021 | BC Lottery Corp: Source of Funds Inquiry Jeopardizes Gambling Revenues

The Cullen Commission, mandated to examine whether inaction or corruption enabled money laundering to take root in B.C. casinos and real estate,  is set to conclude final submissions on Tuesday.  As reported by investigative reporter and “Wilful Blindness” author, Sam Cooper, the evidence presented has been clear:  stopping the flow of dirty cash into casinos would reduce […]

October 18, 2021 | Silver Eruption

Silver purchased in retail forms tends to be held for long periods of time, often sometimes over a lifetime and passed on to heirs. To some extent that’s because of the rather few opportunities silver investors have had to cash in at high-enough prices. While silver has yet to visit price levels where most investors […]

October 18, 2021 | Viewing Inflation Through Rose-Colored Glasses

Once “we get the pandemic under control, the global economy comes back, these pressures will mitigate and I believe will go back to normal levels,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated, echoing “transitory” sentiments by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. Powell believes supply chain bottlenecks are the main culprit for inflation. Well, the Biden Administration appointed the […]

October 18, 2021 | Living in a Potemkin World

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always […]

October 17, 2021 | Not Getting Better: Relentless Retail Inventory Squeeze amid Shortages & Supply Chain Chaos

The holiday selling season is approaching, and a whole litany of weird shortages is ricocheting through the economy. Stuff suddenly gets hung up somewhere, on a ship, or in a port, and then ends up somewhere else, or it’s on backorder for months, as manufacturers are struggling with material shortages and in in Asia with […]

October 17, 2021 | Logistical Sandpiles

At the risk of overusing a favorite metaphor, today we’ll talk about sandpiles. My past sandpile stories focused on financial crises. The same principle holds in any complex system, though. Everything works until suddenly it doesn’t. As Minsky said, stability breeds instability. Then one additional grain of sand triggers a collapse. Today’s financial system is […]

October 17, 2021 | Inflation Fears Won’t Survive a Bear Market

Inflation fears are at a generational peak, pushing our stubbornly unfearful Fed chairman against a wall. He may yet prove right in saying inflation will be transitory, but for reasons that should comfort no one. In the meantime, the U.S. dollar seems resistant to the nervous chatter while Treasury bonds, although struggling for altitude, continue […]

October 17, 2021 | Inflation Is A Problem Here But An Existential Threat Over There

Here in the US, prices are rising, packages are shrinking and shelves are emptying. This is annoying, but it’s not (yet) the stuff of revolutions. The same, alas, can’t be said for some other places. One of the Wall Street Journal’s many recent articles on inflation contains this ominous section (emphasis added): The large central […]

October 16, 2021 | Banks Disclose Tidbits of Hidden Stock Market Leverage, as Known Stock Market Leverage Surges

No one knows how much total leverage there is in the stock market. Only fragments are reported. Margin loans are reported monthly, and they provide a general idea of the trend in stock market leverage. Some types of leverage are not disclosed at all until something implodes spectacularly, such as Archegos. Other types of leverage […]

October 16, 2021 | Joe Rogan Forces Truth Out of Dr. Sanjay Gupta – Ivermectin is NOT Veterinary Medicine

  “You know that they know they’re lying,” Joe Rogan told CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta. “Don’t you think that a lie like that is dangerous on a news network when you know that they know they’re lying? … Do you think that that’s a problem that your news network lies?” After a tough interrogation, Dr. […]

October 16, 2021 | Trading Desk Notes For October 16, 2021

Commodity Indices surge to new 7-year highs Surging energy prices are driving the principle commodity indices to new seven-year highs. The energy-heavy Goldman Sachs index has risen for eight consecutive weeks – up 18% from the mid-August Key Turn Date – up ~170% from the 17-year lows in April 2020.

October 15, 2021 | The American System Is Broken

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – Yes, today we bite into the mushroom. So, make sure you are in a “safe space.” And keep a stomach pump handy. Let’s begin with another Argentine-style headline, this time from the U.S. Here’s MarketWatch: The largest COLA hike in 40 years is coming to Social Security in 2022 – what that means for […]

October 15, 2021 | Rapidly Building Inflation Threatens

Inflation is threatening to get out of control and central banks could be asleep at the switch. In the U.S. the Fed remains supremely confident of its ability to control rising prices, if needed. Is the Fed overconfident? US inflation CPI hit a 13-year high this week at 5.4 percent growth year-over-year, but central bankers […]
