January 17, 2026 | Trading Desk Notes for January 17, 2026

The Art Of The Deal I started this year with a “gut feeling” that events in 2026 would “rock our world.” When Trump snatched Madero, I wrote, “Here we go.”   This morning, Trump cranked up the “We have to have Greenland” pressure by declaring that Germany, France, the UK, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and […]

January 15, 2026 | How China Is Controlling the Silver Market

To most investors,  silver might seem like just a shiny metal for jewelry or coins. But in early 2026, something unusual is happening: the price of physical silver (the real metal you can hold) is moving higher than paper silver prices on big exchanges like COMEX in New York.

“My first rule: I don’t believe anything the government tells me.” — George Carlin The government reported CPI of “only” 2.7% yesterday and the financial pundits and Trump toadies celebrated the “lowest inflation in 5 years”.
