What will the future bring? We’ve read no more of tomorrow’s headlines than you have. But it looks like the US’s wars and sanctions may be breeding the next lead dog. Empires have to die somehow. Inflation and war are time-tested ways to kill them.
By Bill Bonner,
Why do we have inflation? It’s a choice, right? Policymakers choose it as a way of financing their spending. And a single word would stop it — no. As in ‘no more money printing…no more ultra-low interest rates…no more budget deficits’

These headlines tell us what sanctions have wrought; they’ve caused a ‘Pivot to Asia’. And now, a whole new ballgame is taking shape.
By Bill Bonner,
It’s not every day that the US commits an act of war — against two of the most powerful nations in the world. It’s not every day that the US attacks its own allies, either.

Sometimes, stupidity alone isn’t enough. You also need to pay attention to what we call, pretentiously, the ‘Darwinism des moeurs’. That is, we follow the evolved rules, customs, and habits that have stood the test of time.

Wednesday was a busy day for lower jaws. Powell spoke. Then, Biden spoke.It’s easy to make fun of Biden’s speech, so we will hop to it. The man has always been a hack. Now he’s an old hack. And old hacks are funnier than young ones.

Which would you favour, dear reader — pro or con? Set the retirement age at 60…70…75? Make the rich work longer so the not-so-rich can frolic at 60? What fun it must be to organise the lives of others — millions of them. Tell them when they should work…and when they should rest? Sure, why not?

The curtain goes up on the first one as the newly Republican House of Representatives brings out a cannon: the debt ceiling. They say they’re going to fire it if spending…some spending…on projects they don’t care for…is not cut.
And so, the dramatis personae are in place. The battle begins.

Investors who buy stocks now are pulling their oars against the current. Investors should buy stocks when they’re cheap and SELL them when they’re dear. But stocks are already expensive. If there is any upside, it’s not likely to be much.
