Interest rates have been going down for so long that you have to be as old as I am (66) to remember what interest rate??risk is. Despite more than $200 billion worth of inflows into bond funds in 2017, most delivered total returns of near zero. Now get ready for the shocker: 2018 will be

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Take a look at the four charts below for the ten-year Treasury bond yield ($TNX), Goldman Sachs (GS), Gold (GLD), and oil (USO), and they explain everything that is going on in financial markets right now. In fact, they could all be the identical chart. They

Boy I never thought I’d relive 1918 again. We get both a bull market AND a flu epidemic. The extent of the plague out here in California is nothing less than of Biblical proportions. Whole school districts are shutting down, people aren’t showing up for meetings, and daily newsletters are arriving at half their normal

I'll do anything to postpone aging, as regular readers of this letter already know. So when my doctor told me that she could extend the life of my knees by ten years with a stem cell injection, I was all for it. You better pay attention too. Stem cells, along with CRISPR gene editing, are

I'm sitting here at my Lake Tahoe lakefront mansion watching the Dow Average meander and go nowhere. It is one of those perfect, picture postcard days, with a blue sky and cobalt lake. The fields outside are covered with snow crystals sparkling in the sunshine. After the close, I'm going to have to shovel off

Years ago, if you asked traders what one event would destroy financial markets the answer was always the same: China dumping it's $1 trillion US treasury bond hoard. It looks like Armageddon is finally here. Chinese sellers were a major factor in the recent break of ten-year US Treasury bond yields above 2.60%. They recently

It is clear from the improving economic data from China that the hard landing scenario is off the table. It is all part of the synchronized global economic recovery that is powering financial markets everywhere. This is great news for the producers of everything that the Middle Kingdom buys in bulk, especially copper. If you
The conspiracy theorists will love this one. The IRS has long despised the barbaric relic (GLD) as an ideal medium to make invisible large transactions. Did you ever wonder what happened to $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 bills? Although the Federal Reserve claims on their website that they were withdrawn because of lack of use,
