March 21, 2019 | The $20 Gold Coins Walmart Refused to Accept as $20
As time passes, the newer generations lack any understanding of gold standards or even the events of 1971. There are many people who judge the future of gold based upon their belief that it is money. However, like religion, human society is fragmented and certainly neither of one faith nor one political party. While there are […]
March 21, 2019 | A Hardcore Permabear Talks Sunshine and Lollipops
So much for the 2858.75 print in the E-Mini S&Ps earlier this week that I’d said might mark an important top. Thursday’s muscular short squeeze impaled this ‘Hidden Pivot’ resistance, leaving the futures above it at the close. It also put in play an alternative scenario I’d mentioned — i.e., a move above 3,000. The […]

Who will rule Venezuela? Mr. Maduro or Mr. Guaido? The Venezuelan currency (the Bolivar) has lost 95% of its purchasing power! The economy is in chaos as the money system has been destroyed!

March 21, 2019 | Putting My Money Where My Mouth Is
The summer of 1986 was my only real experience with the business of gambling. I was helping the Libertarian Party of Alaska raise money by selling raffle tickets. The prize was a brand new, fire-engine-red Corvette. It was gorgeous. People slobbered over the car—literally. We had to keep cleaning materials in the trunk to wipe […]

March 21, 2019 | Barbarians
Poor Jake. He sees barbarians at the gate. For him, they’re already in the White House and Queen’s Park. They’re grasping for the levers of power in Alberta and Ottawa, where yesterday Conservatives were on the attack. “The CPC actions yesterday (drowning out the finance minister in the house) are the actions of barbarians uninterested […]
March 20, 2019 | Paul Volcker Can’t Save Us This Time…

Gold stocks have repeated their decline once again yesterday while gold and silver soldier on. When will the miners take gold and silver down with them?

March 20, 2019 | Cash-In on Cannabis. We Called the Trend, Here’s What’s Next
KINGSTON, NY, 20 March 2019—It’s bigger than the legalization of marijuana that politicians are blabbing about and the business media are promoting to cash-in on the tax and investment potential.

March 20, 2019 | Transports Leading Stock Market and Economy Lower
Yesterday after the close, the largest global courier delivery service, Federated Express (FedEx), warned of weaker than expected earnings and revenue for the second time in six months.

March 20, 2019 | Huh?
When the concept of shared equity mortgages burst upon the nation in the budget late Tuesday, some people flipped. “How on earth would this not have the effect of increasing the cost of housing?,” Joe asked me. “Eventually (or quickly) wouldn’t this just get factored into selling prices? If yes, there would be a net […]

March 19, 2019 | The Adventures of Spreadsheet Guy
Seven years ago, I went to see a gold play in the far east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was near Lake Kivu, on the border with Rwanda. I was well aware that this area has seen some of the worst bloodshed in African history. That’s due in part to its richness […]
March 19, 2019 | MMT, Green New Deal, Public Banks, QE!
Can America avoid the world system so as to fund public banks (via QE dollars)? QE emerges from a Central Bank and the units emerge from thin-air! The idea could work for America (but what about all the other nations with weak currencies)? Is money from nothing a concept which would work globally? I don’t […]

March 19, 2019 | The Gap
Budget day. Hardly a surprise. More spending. Deficits stretching far into the future. The Moister Homebuying Strategy (yes, shared-equity mortgages, bigger RRSP withdrawals. More debt).

March 19, 2019 | Two FAANG Stocks to Watch If Weakness Snowballs

March 18, 2019 | The Confirmation of the Warning: Here Are the Stunning Implications of Plunging Gold (Part III)
After gold’s plunge on Thursday, it made a comeback attempt on Friday. But that erased only half of Thursday’s vigorous decline.

Both immediately and step-by-step […]
