The 2010s were not kind to precious metals, in either nominal or relative terms. Gold and silver are down from their 2011 highs and waaayyy down versus equities and other favorite assets of the 1% like fine art and trophy real estate. But this imbalance has begun to reverse, in two ways. First, stocks have […]
Different Acronyms, Same Disaster: Bond Ratings Are Once Again For Sale
Of all the amazing scenes in The Big Short, a film about the genesis of the Great Recession, arguably the most shocking is the meeting between a couple of hedge fund managers trying to understand the housing bubble and “Georgia,” a (in a bit of symbolic overkill) visually-impaired executive with the Standard & Poor’s bond […]
Signs Of A 2020 Top: “Buyers Return to Riskiest Junk Bonds”
If you’re managing money and need positive results in the year ahead, you’re in a tough spot. Stocks are at levels that in the past have preceded cycle-ending crashes while high-grade bonds yield virtually nothing but could easily produce big capital losses if interest rates rise even a little. What do you do? Retire, if […]
Housing Joins The Everything Bubble
When people tick off the components of the “everything bubble” they usually omit US housing, for a couple of reasons. First, bubbles don’t normally recur immediately in the same asset class, because memories of past carnage need to fade before investors can be seduced back into irrational optimism. Since housing was the epicenter of the […]

Michael Pento: Farewell Paul Volcker Hello Monetary Madness
Excerpted from Pento Portfolio Strategies God bless Paul Volcker. He was truly a one of a kind central banker, and we probably won’t see another one like him ever again. It took his extreme bravery to crush the inflation caused by the monetary recklessness of Arthur Burns and the fiscal profligacy of Presidents Johnson & […]
Marin Katusa: Is It Time for Silver Stocks To Blast Higher?
Excerpted from Katusa Research: These days, silverbugs have every reason to shout from the rooftops. Even with spot silver trading mostly rangebound, many silver stocks are at or near levels not seen in 3 years. Volume is picking up, momentum is picking up and the top silver companies have performed very well in 2019. So, […]
Time To Sell The News?
Global stock (and bond and real estate) markets have been on a tear this year, apparently in anticipation of three big events. And last week they got them all, sort of: The US and China announced a “trade deal” that is flimsy but a deal nonetheless; the Fed promised to refrain from raising rates until […]

The Parasite Devours Its Host, Part 2: French Pensions
Criticizing the “public sector” is tricky, because teachers, firefighters, cops and bus drivers are by-and-large great people doing hard things that benefit the rest of us. But there’s this problem, which is that once a country’s public sector grows beyond a certain size, it takes on a life of its own, demanding more resources even […]
Really Bad Ideas, Part 8: Yield Curve Control And Mega-Stimulus
It’s been obvious for a while that the next phase of global monetary madness would be both spectacular and very different from the previous phase. The question was whether the difference would be in degree or kind. Now the answer is looking like “both.” Let’s start with “yield curve control,” in which central banks, instead […]
