Come join me in the grand appointments of the Cunard Line’s flagship, the elegant and spacious Queen Mary II, on an eastbound transatlantic cruise.
Cunard’s Black Friday sales are on, so you can participate in my Seminar at Sea at a nice discount. Reductions in prices, deposit amounts, and free onboard spending credits are offered by clicking here.
The ship departs New York at 12:00 AM on July 7, 2023 and arrives at Southampton on July 14. The Cunard cruise number is M319. There I will be conducting the Mad Hedge Fund Trader’s Strategy Update, a three-hour discussion on the global financial markets.
I mention this now because Cunard usually offers great sale prices during Thanksgiving week.
I’ll be giving you my up-to-date view on stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, precious metals, energy, and real estate. I’ll highlight the best long and short opportunities. And to keep you in suspense, I’ll be tossing a few surprises out there too. Enough charts, tables, graphs, and statistics will be thrown at you to keep your ears ringing for a week. Tickets are available for $399 for the seminar only.
Attendees will be responsible for booking their own cabins through Cunard. They offer everything from an inside stateroom from $1,279 per person to $26,780 per person for Q1 deluxe two-bedroom apartment with its own gym.
Just visit their website (click here) or call them directly at 800-528-6273 to make your own arrangements.
The weather this time of year can range from balmy to tempestuous, depending on our luck. A brisk walk three times around the boat deck adds up to a mile. To follow the markets, full internet access will be available for a fee.
Every dinner during the voyage will be black tie, so you might want to stop at Saks Fifth Avenue in Manhattan to get fitted for a second and third tux. Don’t forget to bring your Dramamine and sea legs, although the 151,400-tonne 1,132-foot long $900 million ship is so big, I doubt you’ll need them.
The event will be held at a luxurious penthouse suite, the details of which will be emailed to you just prior to departure. To instill in us all a proper sense of humility, I will conduct the seminar as we sail over the wreck of the Titanic. The ship will give a blast of its horn three times as a salute as we pass the site.
At the moment, Cunard’s Covid protocols require a negative PCR test 48 hours before boarding. Please bring your Covid card.
Customers are required to book their own cabins and return flights from England. Again, the Cunard cruise number is M319.
To book the Cunard portion of the cruise, please click here.
To purchase tickets for this seminar alone, please click here.
I look forward to meeting you, and thank you for supporting my research.

You can count on a bear market hitting sometime in 2038, one falling by at least 25%.
Worse, there is almost a guarantee that a financial crisis, severe bear market, and possibly another Great Depression will take place no later than 2058, which would take the major indexes down by 50% or more.
No, I have not taken to using a Ouija board, reading tea leaves, or examining animal entrails in order to predict the future. It’s much easier than that.
I simply read the data just released from the National Center for Health Statistics, a subsidiary of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (click here for their link).
The government agency reported that the US birth rate fell to a new all-time low for the second year in a row, to 60.2 births per 1,000 women of childbearing age. A birth rate of 125 per 1,000 is necessary for a population to break even. The absolute number of births is the lowest since 1987. In 2017, women had 500,000 fewer babies than in 2007.
These are the lowest numbers since WWII, when 17 million men were away in the military, a crucial part of the equation.
Babies grow up, at least most of them. In 20 years, they become consumers, earning wages, buying things, paying taxes, and generally contributing to economic growth.
In 45 years, they do so quite substantially, becoming the major drivers of the economy. When these numbers fall, recessions and bear markets occur with absolute certainty.
You have long heard me talk about the coming “Golden Age” of the 2020’s. That’s when a two-decade-long demographic tailwind ensues because the number of “peak spenders’ in the economy starts to balloon to generational highs. The last time this happened during the 1980’s and 19990’s stocks rose 20-fold.
Right now, we are just coming out of two decades of demographic headwind, when the number of big spenders in the economy reached a low ebb. This was the cause of the Great Recession, the stock market crash, and the anemic 2% annual growth since then.
The reasons for the maternity ward slowdown are many. The Great Recession certainly blew a hole in the family plans of many Millennials. Falling incomes always lead to lower birth rates, with many Millennial couples delaying children by five years or more. Millennial mothers are now having children later than at any time in history.
Burgeoning student debt, which just topped $1.5 trillion, is another. Many prospective mothers would rather get out from under substantial debt before they add to the population.
The rising education of women is another drag on childbearing and is a global trend. When spouses become serious wage earners, families inevitably shrink. Husbands would rather take the money and improve their lifestyles than have more kids to feed.
Women are also delaying having children to postpone the “pay gaps” that always kick in after they take maternity leave. Many are pegging income targets before they entertain starting families.
As a result of these trends, one in five children last year was born to women over the age of 35, a new high.
This is how Latin Americans moved from eight to two-child families in only one generation. The same is about to take place in Africa, where standards of living are rising rapidly, thanks to the eradication of several serious diseases.
The sharpest falls in the US have been with minorities. Since 2017, the birth rates for Hispanics have dropped by 27% from a very high level, African Americans 11%, whites 5%, and Asian 4%.
Europe has long had the same problem with plunging growth rates, but only much worse. Historically, the US has made up for the shortfall with immigration, but that is now falling thanks to the current administration's policies. Restricting immigration now is a guarantee of slowing economic growth in the future. It’s just a numbers game.
So watch that growth rate. When it starts to tick up again, it’s time to buy….in about 20 years. I’ll be there to remind you with this newsletter.
As for me, I’ve been doing my part. I have five kids aged 15-34, and my life is only half over. Where did you say they keep the Pampers?
