September 8, 2024 | The Time Has Come

I remember traveling as a young boy on long trips and asking my parents, “Are we there yet?” I was later punished for this annoying behavior by having my own children ask me the same question over and over. On a national scale, we have been asking the same of the Fed. Now I think […]

September 8, 2024 | Health Prepping, Part 5: Red Light Therapy

Winter is coming, which means many things depending on where you are and whether or not you like to ski.

September 8, 2024 | Our #1 Bellwether Is at Cliff’s Edge

I continue to believe the bull market’s fate can be divined simply by paying close attention to price action in Microsoft shares. The company is not only the second-largest in the world by capitalization, slightly behind Apple; it is also the most important.

September 6, 2024 | The Jobs Number & Russia

The U.S. economy added fewer-than-expected new jobs last month because most economists still refuse to comprehend that there is such a thing as the business cycle. Here we have the Economic Confidence Model I explained, which I discovered while researching at the Firestone Library at Princeton University.

The Bank of Canada voted to cut rates by 25 bps to 4.25%, marking the third consecutive rate cut.
