The 5% level on the US 10 Year has been a key level dating back to 1993. Acting as support and then resistance.

Imagine what the bond market would look like if there wasnt a huge pool of capital betting on a big print.

Deficits are picked to meet GDP growth. Best way to get there is picking palatable ways for people to accept. "Free money" works better than wars with the main street voter. Own gold.

As bond yields around the world keep climbing, governments are left with two options: 1. Let interest rates and austerity crush the economy 2. Let inflation crush the economy The moment Ben Bernanke said "quantitative easing," we knew which one politicians would choose.

So CBC did a 10 minute segment on Carney's investment forum. Most of the companies were mining and infrastructure projects. CBC spent half their time talking about the protesters..

Dr. Pepper is the best soda in the world. I will die on this hill.

Nothing has made 'economic sense' since Ben Bernanke first said the words "Quantitative Easing"

A casual $1.4 trillion dollar spend.

Dont love your job. Job your love.

Warsh says the Fed "has more work to do" on inflation. Which work? He quit the Board over QE2 in 2011 and spent a year attacking the bloated balance sheet. Now he runs the place, QT is still off, the Fed is still adding bills, and core PCE is 3.3%. Talking about a regime change isn't one.

A handful of junior mining companies have figured out how to list on the NASDAQ without doing a reverse split to meet the $4 minimum requirement. They are using ADRs, trading on a ratio. Here is a story I did on it. $NIM.v => $NICM $PHOS.c => $PHOS $PNPN.v => TBD youtu.be/d1iRgCSyjgg?si=wg3B…

If Canada really wants to jack up this trade war. Let's offer to make Cuba a province! I'm sure Trump would LOVE that.

A few years ago, Shayne Nyquvest was behind a company called Universal Ibogaine. The stock traded around 3c when he first called me about it. He called me out of the blue one day: "Steve, I got a deal for you. I'll give you 5% of the company… if you can get Keanu Reeves to be our CEO." Shayne was a little crazy, and sure, he wanted to make money on the stock. But he also deeply believed ibogaine could help people. I told him I'd see what I could do, and went back to my Swiss Chalet. Puzzled. I didn't know Keanu. And if I did, he'd have politely declined. Shayne passed away in December, 2023. The stock was then halted last February. I never knew Shayne all that well. But I think about him every time I see the news about the Trump administration pushing ibogaine forward. Sometimes you're not wrong. You're just early. I'm sad he didn't get to see it through.

Back in my day, when you scammed an insurance company you were a criminal... Now you get to date Reese Witherspoon....

Zoltan Poszar wrote in 2013 we need to consider 3 new prices of money. It basically all came down to global shipping. That is coming true. He also called gold's breakout.

Real estate guy, small market, big enough tv market. Would be fun. Id give it less than a 5 percent chance of happening.

Signs of a healthy economy.
