Election Results
The United States elected its next president on Tuesday. The only thing we are 100% sure of is it will either be Trump or Biden… and the markets are loving it. What is it? It is a fair count of the votes. That is what the markets are noticing all around the world. I want…
Uncertain Times… Whose Vote Matters Most?
It was 4 years ago this weekend that the US was getting ready to vote between Clinton and Trump for the next president of the United States. The world (read: ALL news channels) had Clinton for the win. Heck, even the Trump camp thought she was going to win. If you are in doubt and…
The Stock Market is Ignoring The Economy
My son wants a cell phone. What 7th grader doesn’t? He might just be the last one in his grade to get one, but his mom and I are steadfast on waiting until he’s in the 8th grade. To him, none of this makes sense. “Everyone” has one. It feels unfair to him. My ex-wife…
The Market Will Double
You are taught to care about the wrong things. More specifically, you are taught to care about the wrong things when it comes to growing and protecting your portfolio. You are taught to care why the market goes higher. You are taught there are only a few acceptable reasons why the market goes higher… and…
Economic Cat Videos
If the market was about to crash—which is what most of you are being fed—then why are economically sensitive sectors strengthening and moving higher? That doesn’t make sense. The investment world doesn’t see economically sensitive sectors strengthening into a crash, we’d have the opposite if that was true. Why aren’t bonds breaking up and making…
How I Vote
Hi Guys, I’m an American and I live in America (though some might not consider the Seattle area America). The first American presidential debate took place this past Tuesday night. And guess what? I loved it! As far as Fox News is concerned, Trump won it—hands down. As far as CNN is concerned, Biden won…
Do More Printed Dollars Matter?
One of the questions every investor is attempting to answer is: “does this matter?” Do more printed US dollars matter? Does the stock market being “overvalued” matter? Does gold dropping by $39 in one day matter? Does the Fed increasing their balance sheet by $3 trillion matter? Does Trump winning matter to the stock market?…
Is This A Correction Or The Start of a Crash?
Hi Guys, If the drop in the stock market that started on August 21 is the beginning of a crash, then we are going to have to see very specific behavior in a lot of indexes around the world. What I want to do is show you the markets in the US, Europe, Asia, “all…
This Asset is Breaking Down the Market
Hi Guys, When someone walks into a doctor’s office, they are looking for answers. They don’t want to be there. This meeting wasn’t on the calendar…it wasn’t planned. Even if they like the doctor across the street from them, they’d rather not be sitting there talking to them. That’s because, of course, if they are…
How To Hold On To A Bull Market
I did things a little different on the video this week. On Tuesday, I recorded the vlog live. My format was kind of like a “call-in” radio show. I did my usual topic at the beginning and then I opened up the “phone lines” to anyone that had a question about what I covered or…
