I will teach you the things you'll NEED to know to best capitalize on your investments. I will show you specific trading strategies, and how to be protect your downside, because having a risk management overlay is paramount to success. But that’s just the beginning. We live in historic times, with big picture changes happening all around us . Financially speaking, this is all about a 50-year credit cycle of printing money, debasing the value of your paper wealth every single day …trillions of new dollars, yen, euros, pesos, new paper IOUs FLOODING the market. Then a pandemic accelerated a FORTY YEAR TREND REVERSAL, and BAM, inflation is thrown into the mix !!! More money chasing less goods”, it is everywhere, in everything, and everyone feels it. Add one final and critical secular trend that is intensifying … POLARIZATION …we’ve seen in it income for decades, but now it is in everything … weather, politics, human behavior, and markets. What do we have?? A new age of heightened volatility, one that will be with us for the foreseeable future. Thus, it is never more important to care for your ASSETS. With four decades of experience and a New Age vision for the future, I can help you learn how to better navigate these ever more volatile markets!!!!

S3 E7: What? Me, Worry?

At the risk of aging myself, I vividly remember Mad Magazine as a kid, and the goofy, enigmatic, care-free character Alfred E. Neuman.

Alfred was famous for being care-free with the buzz phrase..."What, Me Worry?"

As the Trade War intensifies, I ask, who is "worried" out there?

Well Donald Trump is hoping China is worried. The Donald is hoping that Fed Chair Powell is worried.

But both of these individuals are giving us their BEST "Alfred E. Neuman" imitation.

What? Me, Worry?

Powell can "wait", he is NOT worried.

Xi Jinping can "wait", as he just secured a $400 billion trade surplus windfall, thanks to a pre-tariff BOOM in Exports. There is NO inflation in China. Retail Sales are growing at a near +6% year-year rate. Industrial Production is surging, the Labor market has stabilized, the stock market is NOT plunging like it is in the US, leaving only the deflated Property market (and maybe the Banks) as a potential source of worry.

Bottom line, Xi is NOT "worried".

Trump has tried to bully both Xi and Powell...but neither are worried, and neither has flinched (nor is likely to anytime soon).

The ONLY people who are WORRIED right now...US Consumers, and US Equity market bulls.

This has been bearish for the USD and Stock Indexes...and wildly bullish for Gold and Canadian Gold Mining shares, JUST LIKE I'VE SAID IT WOULD BE since January, and more specifically in the last several episodes of Money, Markets & New Age Investing.
