The Market Outlook for the Week Ahead, or Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin Crash!

I am writing this to you from the Celebrity Equinox from 37 degrees South latitude, 55 degrees West longitude in the South Atlantic off the east coast of Argentina. We are headed 194 degrees South, and it is a balmy 75 degrees. The sea is completely flat, with waves less than a meter. I’m told […]

The Market Outlook for the Week Ahead, or A Black Swan a Day

At night, they fold into two bunk beds, a single and a double. There is a shower, but only Houdini could navigate it. Not made for […]

Why Technical Analysis is a Disaster

I recently heard an amazing piece of information from a subscriber. Fidelity recently conducted a study to identify their best-performing clients.

It all underlines the futility of trading the markets without true professional guidance, such as you […]

The Market Outlook for the Week Ahead, or The Government Shutdown is Here


It looks like the government is going to shut down again for the tenth time since 1976. Whereas earlier shutdowns elicited panic in the markets, this time, we are getting little more than a snore. On average, the S&P 500 index has been virtually unchanged during previous government closures. The biggest decline we have ever […]
