US GDP reportedly grew by 1.5% in the second quarter. Cause for celebration? Not necessarily. The figure comes from the government, and whether it accurately reflects economic reality is open to debate. Personally, I have my doubts. Economists generally regard annual GDP growth of 2% to 3% as healthy. At
The signs of the US economy being in trouble keep popping up their heads. The narrative of the economy being strong does not resonate with me. The speed at which it is slowing is concerning. The results will lead to massive political propaganda, once again telling us how strong the
Looking at the cartoon above, I think Ben has captured the mood of Western society perfectly. I think we are exhausted from the continual political and economic battering we have had for many years, but particularly the past five years or so. The piece by Greg Mannarino below just confirms
The situation where Zelenskyy, who has taken billions of dollars in cash and equipment from the USA, refuses to negotiate a deal with Russia and still calls for more funding and tries to deal with Europe behind the back of the US makes no sense. Trump certainly has to drag

Last week we looked at the S&P500, It was in sell mode. It has had an approximate six-and-a-half percent recovery from 5100 to 5455. We have an uptick in most of my indicators which has triggered a buy signal. While this may be a good trade, I worry that we get a
We are caged in the illusion of freedom, whilst our freedoms are being taken from us at a blinding speed. I remember as a young adult, getting up to quite a bit of mischief. When caught, the consequences were quite severe, but with ‘internal’ ie. parent based punishment. We were
Having watched the debate, I feel that the above cartoon perfectly describes the current situation. I read this past week that Biden and Trump are financed by Blackrock and Blackstone, each separately. This raises my levels of discomfort with the narrative that we are being given. Both appear to be
The question that we are most commonly asked this year is: “There are wars all over the place, which are escalating and expanding. Why are gold and silver not reflecting this situation to the extent I feel they should?” The gold silver ratio is an indicator of this. Silver has
