The stock market is back at record highs, but don’t tell that to individual investors.

Should Conservative Investors Take The Paper Bags Off Their Heads?
The Trump era has so far been a painful time for conservative investors (like me). Success in equities has come to those as bold as the president himself.

The US Current Account: Goods Are Bad & Ugly
The US current account deficit may seem fantastically large, with over $100bn in payments flowing out of the US relative to inbound payments each quarter, but that works out to less than 2% of GDP at an annual rate; during the last economic expansion, that deficit was as large as 6.3% of GDP. The US […]
Ripple, Ethereum, And Bitcoin Rising Ahead Of The Critical ETF Decision
Tension is mounting towards the all-important deadline for approving or disapproving an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) on Bitcoin.
