July 24, 2026 | A $200 Barrel of Crude Oil is Now a Definite Possibility
The $200 crude oil forecast is back on the table — and this time it deserves to be taken seriously. When U.S./Israel/Iran hostilities began on February 28, some analysts immediately flagged the possibility of triple-digit crude prices. For five months, markets proved them wrong. Brent crude topped out at $120 per barrel — elevated, but […]

July 23, 2026 | Private Equity Landlords Are Dumping Their Houses
There are three groups that, together, will tank the housing market in the coming year: Boomers who can’t manage their three-story McMansions and therefore have to sell. Airbnb entrepreneurs who built mini-empires that are now bleeding cash, leaving them with no choice but to liquidate. Wall Street firms that bought huge numbers of houses and […]

July 22, 2026 | Fourth Turning Global War
“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with […]
July 21, 2026 | US Home Builder Sentiment Contracts for 15th Month
Washington keeps insisting the economy is healthy because unemployment has not collapsed and inflation has moderated. Then you look at housing, and the entire narrative falls apart. A nation cannot call itself prosperous when ordinary working families can no longer afford the most basic measure of financial stability—a home. The National Association of Home […]
July 20, 2026 | Signs of Improvement?
Happy Monday Morning! As expected, the Bank of Canada held rates this past week. “After a year of weakness, Canada’s economy is showing signs of improvement,” the bank said in its monetary policy report. “Growth is expected to pick up, and inflation eases gradually from its recent peak. Uncertainty is still high.” What is perhaps […]
July 19, 2026 | Rigging Elections Has Been Around for Thousands of Years
QUESTION: Are you just supporting Trump with his conspiracy theory about the 2020 election? Joshua ANSWER: The fact that the press keeps blasting Trump claiming the 2020 was not rigged and in Pennsylvania they claim Trump lost every legal challenge so that somehow proves he was wrong is just absurd. Courts are also political. Why […]
July 18, 2026 | Trading Desk Notes for July 18, 2026
“People will believe the most preposterous stories, as long as the price keeps going up!” Bob Hoye Bobby has been a friend for ~50 years. I once introduced him at a conference as a great market historian who was actually “there” when the Tulip Bulb mania hit Holland in the 1630s. What I love about his “preposterous” quote […]

July 17, 2026 | The Heat is on El Nino
A perfect storm is building. El Niño has arrived early, global warming is amplifying its reach, and two active wars are straining food and energy supply chains simultaneously. For millions of people, the next eighteen months could be brutal. El Niño takes its name from the Spanish for the Christ child — Peruvian fishermen first […]
July 17, 2026 | U.S. Housing: It’s a Bust
My son is house-hunting in Tucson, AZ, and I’m watching with interest. Right now, that housing market is a strange combination of prices that peaked at around twice 2018 levels and recent, sometimes notable price cuts. A couple of representative Zillow graphics: It’s Nationwide According to Wolf Richter’s Wolf Street, this isn’t a localized trend. It’s now […]

QUESTION: You previously stated that the 2020 election was rigged by the Neocons, and that they attempted the same in 2024 but failed due to a Panic Cycle and Directional Change. I’m now noticing what appears to be another Panic Cycle forming around the 2026 election. Looking further ahead, you’ve mentioned that 2028 could […]

July 15, 2026 | Britain Wants to Control Your Algorithm
Britain is becoming one of the most aggressive governments in the Western world when it comes to policing opinions, regulating speech, and deciding what information its citizens should consume. Every year the excuse changes. It was terrorism. Then it became misinformation. Then hate speech. Now they have set their sights on YouTube itself because they […]
July 14, 2026 | Turkish FM Believes Israel is a Global Security Threat
For years, I have warned that analysts have been looking in the wrong direction. Everyone obsesses over Russia, China, Iran, or even North Korea, while ignoring one nation that has quietly been positioning itself to become the dominant regional power. That nation is Turkey. You cannot understand today’s geopolitical landscape unless you understand that the […]

Existing home sales in the US unexpectedly fell 2.4% in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.09 million units, missing expectations for a summer increase. At the very same time, the median existing home price reached another all-time record of $440,600, marking the 36th consecutive month of year-over-year price gains. Sales are falling […]
