This week, it was the European Central Bank’s turn to raise rates, this time by 75 basis points to yield a massive 1.5% for deposits. Just kidding about the massive part. The ECB has a lot of rate-increasing to do to catch up with the Fed, but the currency moves this week seemed to hint …

European financial institutions are getting pounded. But don’t worry, the central bank leaders have it under control. Right? Doesn’t look that way. Chris breaks it down.
The tonight’s topics were a nightmare indeed…WEF/EU leaders killing the energy supply, disappearing crabs, failing Covid narratives, nuclear war, oil’s scary future and so much more. But Chris and Evie also brought their usual humor and terrific advice on how to consider your own homestead as insurance against the fall and even how to survive …

In Part I of Episode 81, I laid out the constellation of techniques I use to parse through our overly complicated world. Here, I cover my thinking that the central banks are now facing a stark choice; either rescue the “markets” one more time at the expense of the massively higher inflation (and the quicker …

Is there big trouble in big China? Chris explains the current situation.
The buck fell this week, dropping 1.22 [-1.08%] to 111.98. Most of the damage happened on Friday. The candle print was bearish, and the buck closed back below its 9 MA – although it remains above the 50, which is where it has spent most of its time during 2022. Buck remains in an uptrend, …

It’s the spooky season…and we’re just talking about oil, the markets, Credit Suisse, Russia, the European energy crisis and the Bank of England. Forget Halloween…we’ve got zombie leaders (Pres. Biden, Justin Turdeau), witches (can we say that about Christine Lagarde, or Nancy Pelosi?), psycho killers (Fauci and the Pfizer executive team), vampires (central banks, WEF, …

The President of the United States is draining the nation’s strategic petroleum reserves, clearly for political gain. Or, for other reasons. It will hurt us….the citizen. But we’re not alone. Ask the Europeans. Chris drills into the situation, and how we should prepare.
Covid came with a lot of lies that are only now being more widely exposed. My followers know that this process has nothing to do with the actual data involved as it’s actually a bizarre feature of human psychology that’s been hijacked by corporate and state actors to enrich themselves and entrench their power. The …

This is a critical episode. Here we explore the all-vital knowledge of complex systems and how they have features that we simply have to appreciate and respect. However, unfortunately, none of the World Economic Forum or western leaders display any inkling of the fact that they live in a complex and nuanced world governed by …

Did Russian leader Putin actually invade Ukraine out of the blue? Without any reason? Chris challenges that narrative.
This week, it was hard to sort out the events that caused the various market moves. Here were the U.S. data releases this week: Retail Sales: headline unchanged, expected +0.2% [Fri] Consumer Price Index: headline +0.38% m/m, expected +0.2% [Thu] Producer Price Index (PPIACO): -0.29% m/m, “final demand” PPI +0.4% m/m, expected +0.2% [Wed] From …

It’s an uncomfortable place to be…living at a time when leaders discuss the idea of attacking a major nuclear power as if there would be no real consequences. That they are driving our world to the edge of doomsday is unconscionable. Evil, even. Yet that’s the world Washington, D.C. and our European leaders seem to …

The evidence is leaking out regarding the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines. Smoking gun? Get the latest from Chris.
We’ve all heard of the “October Surprise,” that last minute “revelation” designed to convince you to not vote for a political candidate. Now, we need to think about the “November Nightmare”. Chris explains.
Today, if you attempt to discuss the very real fact that election fraud exists, and massive election fraud is within the realm of possibility, you are called an election denier (unless you’re talking about Hillary’s loss in 2016 and Stacey Abrams’ loss in Georgia). And despite recent documentaries that actually “documented” election fraud on video, …

Payrolls looked “surprisingly strong” on Friday, with the headline number at +263,000, with +250,000 expected. That wasn’t a big difference, but markets sold off hard immediately following this release – except for oil and gasoline, which had great days, apparently unaffected by payrolls one way or the other. Wolf Richter, who is usually on top …

It is no secret there is a worldwide cybersecurity skills shortage. In fact, this shortage is often described as a “crisis”. But the response to this crisis is always to deal with the supply side of the issue. Nobody is thinking about approaching the problem from the demand side. For example, the Australian government recently …

Want to make a great investment? The data is in. The time could be now to buy silver. Chris explains why.
Did you know we’re at Defcon 3? What’s it mean, and are we in danger? Is the Ukraine really worth potential nuclear war? Chris discusses…
The bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea was an act of war. The evidence very strongly points to the U.S. as being either behind it or standing aside as it was carried out by some other NATO member or related contractor. This episode brings the evidence. Why the leaders of …
The big market-moving news this week – as you probably know by now – was the solvency problem in the leveraged UK pension funds. (Leveraged? Pension funds???) The UK pension funds were holding UK sovereign debt, the price of which has been plunging (due to rising rates), which wouldn’t normally matter (just hold until maturity, …

Okay folks, this is not a drill. Decades of stupendously poor monetary, (lack of) regulatory actions, and a completely useless watchdog press have now (once again) conspired to deliver us into the teeth of another financial crisis. This one will be the largest ever and could possibly result in damage so profound it never really …
