December 9, 2021 | No Way Does China Save Us From The Next Bust

The world recovered remarkably well from its 2008-2009 near-death experience, thanks largely to China’s decision to borrow an ungodly amount of money and spend it on the mother of all infrastructure builds. This pulled most developed countries out of a hole that they might, on their own, have been unable to escape. Now the same […]

The chart below shows the factors which have driven price gains in the S&P 500 stock index over the last decade, since 2011.  The breakdown should concern thinking people.   A full 40.4% of price gains (in green) have come from companies buying back their shares (something considered illegal market manipulation up until 1982).  Another 21% […]

December 7, 2021 | Is COVID Following the Economics of the Black Plague?

While just about every historical piece on the Black Plague you will read tells the story from the plague perspective. However, I look at history differently.

December 7, 2021 | The Final History of America’s Nightmare Winter

YOUGHAL, IRELAND – News from home: “Baltimore is suffering another crime wave… with 600 people shot so far this year. In many neighborhoods, you’re more likely to get shot than to get COVID. A reporter interviewed a citizen on the street. ‘What do you think of the mayor’s Five-Year Crime Plan?’ he asked. ‘Five years […]

December 7, 2021 | All’s Well That Ends Well–and This Cycle Won’t End Well for Most

After broad selling last week, the risk trade is bouncing.  Most stocks are now trading below recent highs and not just the most sketchy ‘meme’ names.  As shown below, courtesy of Mac10, beneath the hood, just 43% of even the widely considered ‘conservative’ Dow 30 components (red line) are above their 200-day moving averages. In comparison, the […]

December 7, 2021 | Deleveraging COVID Bubble – Possible Volatility Risks In Foreign Markets

December 6, 2021 | Signs

“Sign, sign, everywhere a sign Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?” That was from a teenage song of rebellion some 50 years ago, by The Five Man Electric Band (from Canada), I believe protesting the “no shirt, no shoes, no service” notices appearing in […]

December 6, 2021 | This is What a Crisis Looks Like

House shoppers are showing very few signs of fatigue. The latest data out of Vancouver & Toronto for the month of November suggests the bull market remains fully intact. Greater Vancouver home sales jumped 11% from last year, the second strongest November on record besides 2015. In case you forgot, the winter of 2015 was […]

December 6, 2021 | Oh, Maybe This Is How We All Die: Self-Replicating Bio-Robots

Those dancing robots are definitely scary. But they’re big, so we might be able to see them coming, which gives us a fighting chance. But self-replicating microscopic bio-robots?

December 5, 2021 | Capital Excess

Why do we invest? Everyone has their reasons, but funding retirement may be the most common one. Whenever the time comes, we want to relax in comfort and security. Yet this whole “retirement” idea is really quite new. For most of human history, almost everyone worked as long as they physically could, then expired soon […]

December 5, 2021 | Concerning All of That Cash on the Sidelines…

Mr. Market blew a great opportunity on Friday to scare the hell out of everyone, concluding the session with a mild short-squeeze rather than the devastating rout that Wall Street’s years-long wilding spree so urgently needs. The continuing ascent of Apple shares as always remains key to the global illusion of prosperity and the surreal […]

  COMMENT: Dear Mr. Armstrong, As you know I am a longtime subscriber and active treater of Covid-19 patients.

December 5, 2021 | Government Bonds Have More Fun (Part Two)

The fact that long Treasuries have kicked the pants off the S&P 500 in total returns over the past 40 years is one of the best-kept secrets in finance.  Indeed, looking for a publicly available chart that reveals this is like searching for a needle in a haystack.  But then, a so-called investment sector that […]

December 4, 2021 | The Companies Enforcing the Vaccine Mandate

Numerous companies plan to fire unvaccinated employees once the vaccine mandate goes into effect. Thousands of people have already lost their livelihoods right before the holiday season. Those who choose their personal health over tyranny will become unemployed, and the impact on America’s workforce will be significant. Payrolls in the US increased by 210,000 in November, […]
