From the Tom Woods Show: Two items for you today. First, I couldn’t resist this Politico headline from last week: “Locked-down California runs out of reasons for surprising surge.” After all, they’ve been among the most brutal, if not the most brutal, of the hard lockdown states. And yet they’re claiming that their hospital system […]
Glenn Greenwald: The Threat of Authoritarianism in the U.S. is Very Real, and Has Nothing To Do With Trump
Excerpted from Glenn Greenwald’s Substack: The COVID-driven centralization of economic power and information control in the hands of a few corporate monopolies poses enduring threats to political freedom.

From Katusa Research: This year has been one for the record books. From all-time highs in the major indices to the Coronavirus meltdown… and then for the market to race back and hit new all-time highs, it’s been quite the ride. If you felt like your head was spinning this year by some of the […]

It’s official: This has been the weirdest year in US economic history. Starting with the shape of the recent recession, even 2007 — an odd one in its own right — looks almost normal when compared with 2020, Labor force participation and the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet have veered in opposite directions.

Is Bitcoin Strangling The Other Cryptocurrencies?

Tom Woods: The Virus Is Your Fault
From the Tom Woods Show: Mayors and governors have been ordering soul-crushing shutdowns yet again.

The political class has a secret agenda it’s […]
Michael Pento: A traditional buy-and-hold portfolio is now “extremely dangerous”
From Michael Pento, of Pento Portfolio Strategies: When the market cap of equities reaches 183% of GDP and government bonds yield near 0%, or even less overseas, the notion that one can just buy and hold a balanced portfolio is extremely dangerous. The minefield is not packed with IEDs; it is actually replete with tactical […]

Extreme Charts – December 11
Calling the US stock market “expensive” is like calling the sun “warm.” It really doesn’t do it justice. “Insanely overvalued” is more accurate, as the following charts illustrate: Stocks are now more expensive than ever versus commodities… … and versus their own long-term price trend … … and versus GDP … Meanwhile, […]
