An over-confident business-oriented president. Excessive markets optimism. Trade War. Red scare. Rising fascism. Rising poverty. Incipient market crash. What's not to like? Obviously today's set-up is not identical to the 1930s because society is much different now. Technology is different. The U.S. is no longer on a gold standard. All of which makes a decade of extreme deflation highly unlikely, as we already learned during the pandemic. I believe the Fed will ultimately get

Trump arrived at an unfortunate juncture for the United States. The greed addled old age home was highly susceptible to brainwashing by a profoundly corrupt white supremacist pedophile psychopath. He checked all of their boxes. At his behest they threw all of their money into the largest Tech Ponzi scheme in history, because it promised to make them wealthy at the expense of all future generations. Unfortunately, they were self-imploded at the hands of well known criminals on

Trump's sole goal in his second term is to rob the country blind while manipulating stocks higher so that the media and morons at large don't notice until it's too late. He is using one scam to hide another scam. So far, so good. His plan is working great. Last week we got an update on Trump's corruption for the past year and even MAGA acolytes were howling with outrage. Which is the key point I made last week - all of Trump's corruption will only begin to matter to his base

We are in a fraudulent AI financial bubble that is covering up rampant economic fraud. As long as the bubble remains inflated, the Idiocracy at large will question none of it. Both frauds - financial and economic - will be revealed at the exact same time. This is the largest quarterly gain for semiconductor stocks in history. The whole market has turned into one MASSIVE pump and dump. There is no doubt that this is the most difficult time to be an astute investor since the 19

There are many reasons to believe that the Ponzi Asset Crash has already begun, let's review... First off, a brief discussion about the war. Two weekends ago, Trump declared that a "Memorandum of Understanding" had been reached with Iran. Then this past week, markets screamed higher on the news. However, over this last weekend, the stability of that ceasefire came into question as Israel continued attacking Lebanon. Subsequently, Trump has made it clear to friend and foe alik

Now that the largest pump and dump in Wall Street history is completed, what comes next I call "Ponzi System Test" because it will test the financial system to the most leveraged extreme in history. I am of course referring to leveraged ETFs, record stock margin (loans), and record options volume. And I expect the system will fail at least temporarily, which will induce widespread GLOBAL panic selling. It will be Gamestop x 100. However it's what happens on the other side of

Sadly at this latent juncture, the masses are far too distracted by the various spectacles taking place right now from the NBA/NHL playoffs, World Cup, Iran War, Trump UFC, and of course the SpaceX IPO. To notice that the empire is imploding in real-time. Today Trump called the Iranians "dishonorable" people for not agreeing to HIS terms to end the war. Trump has declared the war over 39 times in the past three months, each time declaring TOTAL victory. Therefore he is soon g

The truth has been buried. By massive lies and exceptional bull shit; Record greed and corruption; An existential AI asset bubble; Financial industry marketing hype; AND TOTAL economic incompetence. However, all of the massive lies and corruption are about to be revealed. When that occurs the populace will be shocked to the extreme. Not only by the breadth and depth of rampant criminality, but what it portends for their future. Suffice to say, they will not be enamored of the

On a daily basis, Trump's constant lying is driving Democrats insane, which is exactly what Trump's MAGA base wants to see. However, Trump's constant lying is going to wipe out his base financially, and that's what ends this Roman Circus. So it's all going according to plan, from an historical standpoint. In my last blog post I asserted that the common theme of 2026 was rampant corruption on a biblical scale, which is totally unquestioned by the Idiocracy at large. However, t

There is ONE common theme that unites all of the various risks being ignored in markets right now - and that is the obscene and unprecedented level of corruption taking place in broad daylight. There has never been more grift, fraud, scams and rampant lying in our lifetimes than what we are witnessing in the Age of Trump. But the sheeple ignore all of it, because they are fully onboard with the crime spree, so long as markets keep rising. But when markets roll over and the sh

I went to the grocery store yesterday and when I checked out I thought I bought a gold bar by accident... Both CPI and PPI came in much hotter than expected this week, but nevertheless government inflation statistics are systematically understating how much costs are rising for the average family. Why? Because CPI doesn't take into account which costs are discretionary and which ones are essential goods. Food and energy are the fastest rising components of CPI and they are st

There are times when I feel that I am writing blog posts more for the archaeologists coming along later to figure out what actually buried this late stage Idiocracy, than I am writing for anyone reading this contemporaneously. This is one of those times. As always occurs during frothy rallies, my Twitter stats collapse and stock gamblers flock to whatever bullish media are willing to extrapolate record excess to infinity. Needless to say, it seems somewhat redundant to write
