Some days are turn over and go back to sleep days and this Monday was not one of them. The Japanese stock market was already reeling as we pointed out last week, but Monday saw the Nikkei average decline over 12%. The world quickly joined them. Ether was down 26%, Nvidia was down over 15%, …
Bygone Relics
This week is going to be an eventful week of earnings, Fed talk, jobs reports and can likely set the stage for lots of volatility for the next few weeks which leaves me just enough time to discuss a topic that I have wanted to for a couple months now, but something more timely seemed …
“Everything you say should be true, but not everything true should be said.” Voltaire In the span of two weekends the political election of 2024 has carved itself into the record book. We have an assassination attempt on Trump and then the next weekend, Biden bows out of the race with a letter while having …
“History never repeats itself. Man always does.” Voltaire Seldom have I been as surprised as I was in the late 1990’s when the stock market went up every day. If it snowed it was because of the snow and if it was sunny the sunshine lifts traders spirits so they must be buying because of …

The script told the story of a bare knuckle fighter Eastwood and his little hairy friend Clyde. They chased girls together and even feuded with a motorcycle gang. This being the …
I was reading an article this week written by Vanessa Wong and Jilian Berman in MarketWatch about how a $114,000 salary today makes you feel poorer than your parents. It is a very insightful article about how Americans today are poorer in purchasing power, in lifestyle, and in the ratio of money that they have …
I want to talk to you about AAA today. No, not the American Automobile Association which has supported motorists for decades as they get a 10% discount on hotel stays across the country.
