Leaky ships don't sustain market rips.

Today we venture into a new topic of discussion-safety. Weird things are happening and we discuss what is going on.

Today we discuss the troubling trend of companies running out of money, the US running out of credibility, and a European supermarket looking out for its customers. We look at the progress Javier Milei is making in Argentina and we listen when a particular Dallas Federal Reserve President speaks.

We reflect and project on 2023 and 2024.

Today we discuss rare earth minerals, the failed hyperloop, and the new export market for Japan. We admire the pluck of Javier Milei for standing up to China, we don't admire the leader of Chicago, and we see why Zulily went broke.

A Christmas doubleheader because all of these news articles are breaking when Americans are woozy on eggnog. Is that by design as well. We find the answer of what scared Biden, Yellen, and Powell, finally...

Biden, Yellen, and Powell all changed the markets for a reason and we speculate why with the Treasury and oil markets grabbing our attention in part I of our first double header.

The market is still the same as it ever was, EV companies have going concern issues, and smartphones are making our kids dumb. Luckily Chicago is dumbing down its schools, intercity transportation is being gutted while subsidized empty planes fly the friendly skies to former bus destinations, and Canada has lost its way in all the snow and ice.

Anthony Blinken and Blue Bell lovin' Biden travel the world looking for a way to help Janet Yellen's treasury market.

Today we discuss Powell's future pivot and oil tensions in South America are easing while they are escalating in the Middle East. The US passed a mammoth defense bill, cows are burping rudely in New Zealand, and not everyone believes this rally can continue into the new year.

Today we explore the new technology AI and laugh at its many failures before it has a chance to laugh at me.

Gold, inflation expectations, GDP, falling prices, California's exploding budget deficit, and geopolitical events are all giving us clues to where the economic road might lead. Yet we ask what are the events trying to tell us.

We explore the exciting election in Argentina and the hope that represents Javier Milei.

This week we discuss the life of Henry Kissinger, the downfall of Twitter, and how to avoid investing propaganda. Biden does a logical thing for a change, while defense stocks benefit from the conflict in the Middle East, and bonds are everybody's new best friend, while C Thomas is left to sit out in the rain as the market continues its Babel-like ascent into the heavens.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled podcast to bring you a reflection and a remembrance of the wise old sage Charlie Munger, who passed away today at 99 years old. RIP sir.

We look back at data that shows Germany's budget is in trouble as are non profitable biotech and EV, and the American shopper is in even bigger trouble. Meanwhile Egypt and India are bypassing the US dollar, Hedge funds are bypassing using ESG for their marketing after poor performance, and companies are going woke and going broke.

A warning, a haunting warning, of the underlying troubles and possible causes of stock market turmoil.

We discuss the layoffs including the persistent media layoffs, an update on the NordStream pipeline fiasco, more bad news for the green energy movement, and speaking of movements we discuss Disney.

Faced with a two party system that sees spending as a birthright, America has a choice....

According to Danny Moses from the Big Short movie fame, a Friday Night dirty is when news is reported on Friday night so the markets forget about it by Monday. We have two to review this week. We also review why Democrats need to balance the budget and why EV cars continue to be a loser. Speaking of losers, WeWork filed for bankruptcy but don't count their billionaire ex-CEO among them, he is...

We find wisdom from the old testament who implores its readers a little more forcefully than C Thomas' gentle pleadings for sanity.

Today we solve all the world's problems by following the money.

We discuss how we went off the gold standard as a country, and investigated how that is going with our baby boomer leaders.

Today we discuss the failing European economy, failing green economy, and the failing bond market. Finland has a pipeline sabotaged, self driving cars get pulled off the streets of San Francisco, and we bid farewell to Matthew Perry.

Todays we discuss the greatest quarterback in history, the gold standard for all qbs, and how he compares to another gold standard, the shiny metal itself.
