As we enter into a new year, I am sure many are hoping for a better year in 2022. For those who plan ahead, there may be good reason to expect 2022 to be better. For those who fail to plan and figure “the Fed has my back” I believe it may be a painful time in 2022...

Since the 1944 Bretton Woods conference, the U.S. dollar has been the world’s reserve currency. This term is still used today to describe the international role of the dollar, but it is meaningless to speak of a reserve currency when it is not redeemable in gold.

The S&P 500 retraced its late last week’s declines yesterday and it went closer to the 4,800 level again. Will it reach the new record high today?

Bloomberg News recently solicited advice from Argentinians who lived through that country’s high inflation on how Americans should cope with rising inflation. The Argentinians suggested Americans spend their paychecks as fast as possible to avoid future price...

Paris during the Great Depression was full of unemployed people - and apparently it was awesome.

All bull markets supposedly climb a wall of worry, moving higher and higher regardless of how bad the news and how grave the economic and political uncertainties. Supposedly, the worry warts are sitting on the sidelines waiting to deploy surplus cash as soon as the...

The Federal Reserve is caught between a rock and a hard place. Inflation grew by 6.8% in November, the fastest in 40 years, a trend the Fed has now acknowledged is not “transitory.” The conventional theory is that inflation is due to too much money chasing too few...

Here we are, Nearing the end of another year. It seems like they are passing with higher frequency than I remember in the past. I guess that can be attributed to age. It also seems that things are getting stranger and stranger. I believe this can be attributed to...

Doomberg joins us to discuss China dominating critical strategic metals.

People think that the Fed controls inflation, and they think that because they were taught to think that while getting expensive educations at institutions of higher learning. And besides, everyone says so, and so it must be true.

One of the most horrifying works of art is Bruegel’s “The Triumph of Death” painted in 1562. The painting depicts the end of life on earth. I sincerely hope that this is not what the world will literally look like in the next decade or two but metaphorically this is...

Claudio Grass (CG): We often refer to inflation as a “hidden tax” or a “silent thief”, due to the fact that most of the time, its effects are hardly noticed by the average household in real time. However, this time appears to be different. Food, electricity, fuel,...

The US Federal Reserve announced this week what many market participants were expecting — a series of interest rate hikes starting next year.

The bull market's agitated death dance continued last week, challenging bulls and bears alike to sell the dips for a rare change. The E-Mini S&Ps seemed to promise the perfect opportunity for this as the week shuddered to a close.
