I wasn’t planning to write another article this week – as tomorrow morning (Friday), I’m taping a MUST LISTEN interview with one of the smartest investors in the Precious Metals/Cryptocurrency space; Edward Blake, the Renegade Investor.  Not to mention, it’s the...

Two weeks ago, I made the rare, bold step of proclaiming this the “most Precious Metal bullish I have ever been.”  The reason being, that never before had so many “PiMBEEB,” or Precious Metal bullish, everything-else-bearish, factors been present and/or imminent –...

Man, do I keep crazy hours!  Seriously, I am now averaging four hours per night of sleep; to which I can only say, thank goodness for my 24/7 gym, and a laptop equipped with hundreds of podcasts, and thousands of Amazon Prime TV shows and movies.  As for tonight,...

After Whirlybird Janet’s “ding dong, the Fed is dead” speech 2½ weeks ago, I predicted the “final currency war” I first warned of 4½ years ago would be taken to Defcon 1 – as all Central banks aggressively respond to the America’s increasingly inflationary monetary...

It’s Friday morning, just before the B(F)LS, or Bureau of (Fraudulent) Labor Statistics publishes the second quarter GDP report. Incredibly, despite hard economic data consistently worse than the previous two quarters – which, at 1.7% (doubly seasonally adjusted and...

Today is a very big day for me – at least, in my mind.  As, at five years, nine months, my employment with Miles Franklin has officially tied the previous longest job of my career - at Salomon Smith Barney, from May 1999 through February 2005.  After which, I spent...
