On Saturday night, I received an urgent call from a Mad Hedge Concierge client who was expecting a stock market crash to ensue at any time. Would the US attack on Venezuela be the trigger? Not a chance, I answered. The military action would have no market impact. If anything, the removal of uncertainty in […]
Since we have just taken in a large number of new subscribers from around the world, I will go through the basics of my Mad Hedge AI Market Timing Index one more time. I have tried to make this as easy to use as possible, even devoid of the thought process. When the index is […]
When I closed out my position in Freeport McMoRan (FCX) near its max profit this week, I received a hurried email from a reader if he should still keep the stock. I replied very quickly: “Hell, yes!” When I toured Australia a couple of years ago, I couldn’t help but notice a surprising number of […]

When I was growing up in Los Angeles during the fifties, the most exciting day of the year was when my dad took me to buy a Christmas tree. With its semi-desert climate, Southern California offered pine trees that were thin and scraggly at best, and we didn’t want to chop down the view that […]
It is the end of the semester at the University of California, and as a single parent, the unenviable task of retrieving my daughters out of the dorms for the holidays fell to me. When I arrived, I was stunned to find nothing less than a war zone. Both sides of every street were lined […]
