“Shhhhhhhh…. Very quietly now…”
Despite my contention that a fiat currency is eventually doomed to failure, and fiat paper nominated to be the world’s “reserve currency” even more so (thanks to the extra-special “fails” baked into the “Triffin Dilemma”, hat tip to Cuervo); and despite my observation that we are currently experiencing the [...]

We’re already clear that I believe we’re in a secular bear at this point, from which I believe we will experience brief spans of delicious, refreshing and ultimately illusory respites like this oasis we’re currently enjoying.

Drilling down a little deeper, my second “go to screen” is the US dollah (hollah!) either through the proxy of DXY or the dollar fund UUP. For our purposes here, I’m going to use UUP, just because that’s what I’m usually consulting during the day, as it’s the only dollar chart I can [...]

You guys know what I write about, whether it be in the comments or the PeeG, and that’s whatever strikes my fancy at the particular moment.

The current bill despite costing over $3 [...]

One of the great things about the Fly’s site is that there reside here many posters who not only will appreciate, but frequently contribute a great turn of phrase. As well, thanks to Danny’s iBC Dictionary, we’ve got a continuing corpus of neologisms being coined and catelogued on an almost [...]

I got this from one of my smarter friends, let’s call him “Matt from Monsanto.” He works for aforesaid genetic seed manufacturer Monsanto Company [[MON]] and played a large role in getting me long that stock back under $15 (pre-split) some years back. He’s a statistics whiz, and also runs some [...]

Please, good citizens, to concentrate all your positive energies/karmic energy beams/prayers of the faithful toward the Coming of the Glorious People’s GLORC (”Globally Coordinated Rate Cut”).
God willing, She will make her appearance tomorrow and there will be much rejoicing, and less gloom ovah heah, and on the internets.
For, say, three weeks or [...]

You guys know that if I post something in the PeeG over the weekend, especially on a day when my Giants roll up the most points (44-6) and yardage (525 yards) they ever have since the days of Ally Sherman (which I don’t even have the pleasure of remembering, btw), it’s gotta be regarding a [...]
