By now, most of you have figured out that I love calling readers every day and milking them for ideas on how to improve my service. Often, they think I am an imposter, a telephone salesman, a machine, or an algorithm. It's only after listening for a few seconds that they recognize my voice from

I went to the local branch of Wells Fargo Bank (WFC) yesterday, and I was appalled. The bank occupied the most expensive corner in town. It was staffed by a dozen people, all of whom spoke English as a second language. Ask even the simplest question and they had to call a support center and

Ho Hum. Another week, another financial crisis. And why did I rush back from the bucolic mountain pastures of Zermatt? To come back to the smoke-laden skies from the Northern California forest fires? It all must be an early sign of dementia. Trump's foreign policy now seems crystal clear; to destroy the economies of all

Below please find subscribers' Q&A for the Mad Hedge Fund Trader August 8 Global Strategy Webinar with my guest and co-host Bill Davis of the Mad Day Trader.

One of the goals of the Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader is to identify major changes in the global economy early enough to get investors into the impacted shares early. The death of the car is one of those trends, and it is still early, very early. This is a very big deal.

Global Market Comments August 9, 2018 Fiat Lux Featured Trade: (WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID THE CRYPTOCURRENCIES LIKE THE PLAGUE), (BITCOIN), (GLD), (TESTIMONIAL)

With Bitcoin probing new lows in its 9-month-old bear market, I am starting to get deluged with questions from readers as to whether it is time to buy. My answer is always the same. I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole. I wouldn't even buy it with Donald Trump's money. Bitcoin was a great

Mr. Mad Hedge Fund! This is an old B-52 pilot with over 325 combat missions in Vietnam, flying out of Guam, Okinawa and Thailand, and the past Air Force Wing Commander of the Bomb Wing on Guam 1981-1983.

I'll never forget the first time I met Walt Disney. There he was at the entrance on opening day of the first Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., in 1955 on Main Street shaking the hand of every visitor as they came in. My dad sold the company truck trailers and managed to score free tickets for

I feel obliged to reveal one corner of this bubbling market that might actually make sense. By 2050 the population of California will soar from 37 million to 50 million, and that of the U.S. from 320 million to 400 million, according to data released by the US Census Bureau and the CIA Fact Book

I'm back! Yes, I have freshly debarked from the KLM 10-hour nonstop from Amsterdam, with little gin bottles in the shape of old Dutch houses in my pockets. And what do I do upon landing but rush to pound out another newsletter, digesting what I learned from reading a mountain of research on the way

I can't tell you how many times I have been woken up in the middle of the night by an investor who was sleepless over a position that was going the wrong way. Gold was down $50, the Euro was spiking two cents, or the stock market was enduring one of its periodic heart attacks.

The team fought their way up two flights of stairs in pitch-blackness, dispatching several Al-Qaida fighters along the way. A tall figure emerged in the green glow of the night vision goggles. It hesitated. Two shots were fired, and the body hit the ground. That was how Navy Seal Team Six member, Mark Owen, described

Global Market Comments August 2, 2018 Fiat Lux NETFLIX SPECIAL REPORT Featured Trade: (WHAT'S NEXT FOR NETFLIX?), (NFLX), (WMT), (AMZN)

In its latest earnings report for Q2 2018 Netflix definitely disappointed. Revenues came in at $3.91 billion compared to an expected $3.94 billion. New subscribers came up short 1 million of those expected. It also provided weaker guidance, expecting to ad only 5 million new subscribers versus an earlier expected 6 million, with most coming
