Beware The Credit Event!

This week on Off The Cuff Michael Gayed, CFA, and I discussed his views on the markets, the economy, and where they are headed. Michael thinks there’s a “credit event” coming that will shake it all up. What’s a credit event? That’s a “Lehman moment” or a string of bank failures that cascade to other […]

BRICs Rising, De-Dollarization Too

The BRICs conference in South Africa was a game-changer. With so many new additions I guess the new acronym is BRICSEAEUSI. With the new additions, there is an even larger gap now. The little kids have all joined up and grown up and now they are the big kids.

Fiat Money And Our Broken Trust

Fiat money is a trust-based system. That trust has been destroyed for many. What this means is lots and lots of volatility in the markets is coming, which is a euphemism for "blood in the streets" as they say on Wall Street.

Big Money Moving, Bioweapon-Vax Explained, and Pandemic 2.0?

Advice: watch and wait.  Watch MSM (try to measure the shriek volume), and measure the Big Money moves too.  Big Money always moves in advance of events.  They always know.  They are probably the most reliable indicator - but the Biden-Handlers will probably be floating trial balloons along the way too.  Assuming this is the plan.
