Old Big Red sprung a leak a while back. Many of you are familiar with Big Red, but there are a few of you who might need an introduction. Big Red is my 18-year-old Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. I realize this may not be the type of vehicle driven by the majority of bankers, money […]
What Thanksgiving Cranberries And Bitcoin Have In Common
Football is as much a part of Thanksgiving as turkey and family are, and nearly as old as the holiday itself. It was President Abraham Lincoln who proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863, saying that he hoped all Americans would carve out some time to bless the “widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the […]
The Smashing Effects Of A Trade War
Image by Steve Buissinne sourced from pixabay There was a period of time when I was obsessed with home improvement shows. I’d watch almost anything on the subject: Backyard makeovers, kitchen remodels, gut renovations, you name it. It’s fascinating to see what a skilled craftsman can do with the proper tools. In fact, if there’s […]
Why GE Is Tumbling Again

Will DOJ Finally Hold Bullion Banks Accountable For Market Rigging
It is hard to cheer for the Department of Justice these days, but federal prosecutions have begun to offer hope for precious metals investors hurt by rigged markets and crooked traders.

Energy And Value: 2 ETFs To Watch On Outsized Volume
In the last trading session, U.S. stocks ended lower pressured by falling oil prices. Among the top ETFs, investors saw (SPY – Free Report) and (DIA – Free Report) lose 0.7%, and (QQQ – Free Report) move lower by 0.7% on the day. Two more specialized ETFs are worth noting as both saw trading volume that was far outside of […]
Bitcoin Keeps Crashing
What a difference a year makes! Last year at this time, bitcoin was in the middle of a run where it seemed to break through 1,000-point thresholds every couple of days (and in some cases even faster). Now, the leading crypto-currency is seemingly crashing through 1,000 point thresholds to the downside on what seems like […]
A Quarter To Forget
The last two months have been a tough one for the market, especially for the tech stocks that had been the leaders.
