No Powell Pivot, So the Bear is Back!

Posted August 29, 2022 By David Haggith
The bear is back

Bear-market rallies are always built on delusions. A breath of hope returns to the dying bulls, and all the testosterone and adrenaline rushes to their veins. There is typically no rationality to it. It is pure sentiment, so the rallies are strong, unthinking, and vicious toward anyone who shorted the market, making shorting a dangerous […]

Bill Blain: Central banks, inflation and recession are the visible risks, but what if we are looking at all the wrong things?

Brandon Smith: Supply Chain Problems Will Persist Because The System Is Being Sabotaged

Posted August 27, 2022 By David Haggith

The American people are being put in great danger by the false narrative on inflation and supply chains. The longer they’re led to believe the disaster will go away on its own, the less time they have to prepare. We’re facing a large and semi-chaotic disaster where people will be threatened with the loss of necessities like food […]

David Stockman: Republican Corporate Welfare Queens

Posted August 27, 2022 By David Haggith

President Joe Biden runs a fascist government. Economic fascism is defined as a melding between private enterprise and government in large financial partnerships. These good-ol’-boy partnerships save fat-cat investors huge expenses in developing projects that will later bring them huge financial rewards.

This story starts with a big “IF.” It is IF the reports this week about the documents harvested from Trump’s resort mansion, Mar-a-Lago, are accurate about the documents recovered, then the former president is guilty of a truly massive crime or, in the very least, gross negligence of the highest order.
