The last three years showed us that we’re not only past the point of no return, but there’s an existential threat to the system. The approach to keeping the system from falling apart is to plug up the most at-risk institutions and place our reliance upon them by covering debt with even more debt. Ever tried to quench your thirst by drinking sea water? The crisis is averted…this’ll age well!

The world is in a real mess right now. The global lockdowns and the ravages of governments seeking to impose socialism and woke ideologies have left many developed nations in shambles. There’s talk of a future dictated by a clean energy revolution and a transition to electric vehicles. I’m actually looking at something else unfolding — a multipolar world order where countries in regional blocs work to improve the allocation and utilisation of their resources. A commodities boom is upon us, and here’s a way you can position yourself for a chance to ride it…

It’s 2008 all over again…except bigger, badder, and bound to be more destructive! While the subprime crisis in 2007–09 showed the financial system can collapse from the cascading effect of bank collapses, governments worldwide threw billions into keeping some of them alive. It’s this stupidity that brought us here today. What’s more pressing is how you can ride above this. It’s more important that your boat is afloat before you delve into the story of what’s going on. Read on, as I’ve got an opportunity for you!

Can you sense that the markets are rolling over once again? What’s behind all this schizophrenia in the markets? I thought that inflation was behind us and that we should be experiencing an economic recovery moving forward. I’d like to call this ‘Waiting for GOLDot’, a pun on the famous theatrical performance. But instead of simply being a theatrical act, there’s a chance for you to become enlightened and possibly enriched. Read on for more…

There’s a longstanding controversy over whether gold is subject to nefarious activities by central banks, governments, Wall Street, and hedge funds to keep its price under control. For entertainment, one of my colleagues decided to have fun by asking ChatGPT about whether the price of gold is controlled by the government. What he got as a response was a real cracker!

If 2022 was a year that made your head spin with so many unexpected events occurring, then 2023 could be one to make your stomach weak if you’re not prepared. One of the tell-tale signs that things aren’t right in the economy is when the official narrative doesn’t match up with what the majority are experiencing. And that’s just what is happening right now…

So it appears that the bears (myself included) got it wrong about the markets after the Fed announcement. Am I about to throw off my fur and put on my horns to join the bulls? Probably not. Knowing them for the-powers-that-be’s uncanny ability to try to get ahead of the narrative, their rhetoric will turn soon. They’ll talk doom and gloom and the markets could experience pretty dark days. Maybe I’ll be wrong…but do you want to be riding with the herd on this one?
