What the heck is going on? In the fourth quarter, I was housebound due to medical issues. When cleared to travel in late December I bought tickets to spend Christmas with the grandchildren. I was shocked, airfares doubled over last year. Might it be because I was a last-minute flyer? When I booked our return […]
We haven’t seen a trend change in the market since March 2020. Maybe the market will shoot back up like it did… or maybe it won’t. I’m not seeing it necessarily go to “bearish” trend. It’s a different trend. I have a proprietary algorithm that catches these wind changes. And you have access to it […]
There’s a substantial amount of fear in the market. At one point on Monday, the Dow Jones was down more than 1,000. This may have been for a number of reasons.

One of my favorite investors (other than Warren Buffett) is Jim Rogers. He and many other high-profile investors have been talking up the prospects for investments in agriculture for the past 20 years. It’s easy to see why.

The once-darling of Wall Street has seen its stock price fall from an all-time high of $166.57 to the mid-$20’s, for a decline of 86%. Internal documents from earlier this […]
Dear Investor, It’s different this time, truly. I am speaking, of course, of the 2020 stock market crash. One effect of the pandemic-triggered market drop was large declines for every type of high-yield asset. Declines hit every income category, no matter the level of risk or safety. That was a one-time occurrence, and during the […]
The public is on to the Fed’s inflation game! The Fed called it “transitory”. Baloney! The Fed announced: “…it is accelerating its removal of monetary support for the economy, citing a rise in inflation that has seen the biggest jump in prices nearly 40 years. In a move to cool growth, policy makers also said they expect to […]
The market may have been selling off last week, but it didn’t stop gold miners from catching a bid. In fact, VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) was up over 7% one day last week when one of its major component companies posted better than expected earnings.
