Stocks And Bonds Are Due For A Generational Crash Of 75%
From the point of view of history, a reversion to generational lows is inevitable, and a valuation level around 50% of GDP for stocks is a fair target. If we look back to 1981 valuations of stocks and bonds as a guide to valuations at the next generational low, we find stocks and bonds are […]
The Gathering Bond Storm In Chicago
Recently the bond rating company Moody’s Investor Service cut their ranking of Chicago to junk status. The move ticked off a lot of people in the Windy City who think Moody’s overstated the case. I agree that Moody’s is wrong… not because they went too far, but because they didn’t go far enough. Chicago is not close […]

Over the past 90-days, Copper ranks third from a performance perspective (see table below) On a longer term basis, ole Doc Copper doesn’t have much to brag about.

Timeless Lessons From The Grandfather Of Modern Trading

Tuesday: Euro Drops 1.5% As ECB Promises More Free Money
