That UN guy Antonio Guterres is a fucking bag of shit. He was prime minister of my country Portugal 20 years ago or so.

You have to be a real clown to get elect in a EU country.

So gold is going down? lovely for hoarding more of the PHYSICAL stuff! Of course JPM wording of "EXPOSURE" is the perfect shit salad spewed on CNBC and BLOOMBERG that leads sheep to buy toilet paper. Sheep get eaten by Lions!

When are interest rates low?

@ 0 %, 1 %, 2 %, 4%, 8 %?

The answer is NO. They are low when the market expects they will rise.

The expectation of rising interest rates makes people/companies more willing to take out loans. This is because better conditions cannot be expected later on. More loans will create more money. And more loans = more money means higher inflation. Higher interest rates also lead to more expensive loans to repay interest payments and old debt, so even more money is created.

That's why I think the Fed will raise interest rates slightly.

Not to forget: More credit = more money also leads to rising share prices.

I am absolutely not being contentious Pres, and I admit I don't understand it all, but what makes sense to me is that the Fed (and if it has handlers, its handlers) make more money (literally fiat money) - by leverage, theft by redistribution of wealth, and more tools than we know - when interest rates are low, [ If they could make interest rates negative, they would make more money. ] Then they have to turn that fiat money into real assets/wealth by buying the stocks and commodities which creates rising prices on everything.

The Fed is a criminal enterprise and,,,

“Crime, once exposed, has no refuge but in audacity.” - Tacitus

My guess is, with all due respect to you and Gregory, is that the Fed will seek opportunity in your observation that "The expectation of higher rates..." will drive borrowing. And it is hard to quantify, but borrowing needs liquidity so it seems the Fed is holding a double edged sword and doesn't even know it. God bless...

Told everyone gold was going to fall. During war time gold is suppose to go up. They are going to keep the price of gold low...nudge people to sell their gold and then when enough is sold everyone will see gold skyrocket very quickly to lock people out of buying it.

USA seems to be itching for the war. Some people can hardly wait. UN is on board for the war in my opinion. Russia will soon default and take over the assets of foreign firms.

Will the Russian default cause a 50% drop in stocks ? That's the question

Remember the threats from Bill Gates earlier this year, about a "new pandemic" from a "new pathogen". The pandemic narrative went silent after Russia invaded Ukraine, and now China is seeing cases rise, worse in two years. China says it's COVID but I think they are lying....this is Bill Gates' new pathogen, and later half of the year, we are going to start hearing about this new pathogen that China covered up...and it will take us right back to March of 2020. I doubt as many people will fall for the next wave of vaccines, but I am guessing they will shutdown the global economy again, and cases are going to "appear" far worse than COVID, causing martial law and civil unrest.

Focus on Greg’s strategies. Pick one and do paper trades with it. Perfect it the best you can. Get some physical precious metals with profits. Rinse and repeat.

Hey Lions, I have a question, and would really appreciate sincere responses. I'm just learning this stuff.

I have a little retirement money in one of the big-name investment companies. My gut tells me that it's not a good place to be, but probably because I'm distrustful of, and cynical about, large companies in general. ;)

I'm down 5% from last year. On the one hand, it's in their best interest to manage my portfolio well because they get a percentage (I believe). OTOH, since I'm such a small fish, no doubt my account is largely ignored.

Here's the thing: since I've been watching Mr. M., I opened up a little eTrade account just to see what I can do - and I'm up 23%. I know I have no business managing my bigger account, because I know nothing, but still - don't you think that's bass-ackwards?

Thoughts?

Here are some thoughts:

1) your "best interest" is important to them, but not as important as it is to you. They may be more "qualified" or knowledgeable, but you care more. A kid in school whose parents care always does better than a kid whose parents don't. [ Pray for all the kids. ]

2) it matters how much time you are able and willing to invest in continually learning more and investing your own money. How much time did you invest in your 5% loss vs. your 23% gain? And that 5% loss (and 23% gain) is short term. I would guess your long term return is better on your managed money, and might be less on your self-directed investing.

3) it would be unwise to risk all of your retirement money by investing it yourself after only a - it seems you're saying - "brief" experience with eTrade

4) remember it's really about managing your self - your greed, your fear, your time, your attitude. I used to golf and if I compared my playing to my opponent's playing, I always did worse. When we focus on how we invest - our approach, our discipline, our system - we inevitably do better.

5) Summary - optimize your risk (I would suggest investing a relatively small amount of your own money after some due diligence), keep your losses low, and enjoy your traveling and life.

God bless...

You will come to understand, as I did in 2007-08, that small fish only hear from your advisor quarterly. It the s*** hits the fan the day after your quarterly call, don't expect another one soon. Been there, done that

Do you know in which stocks they invest your money? (Only) down 5 % in 2021 is not bad.

I can look it up on their website, but there are so many, it may as well be in Greek. So is my thinking correct that it's in their best interest to make me money?

Expand full comment

Yes it is in their best interest. The question is do you have the time and the mental strength to manage your own account?

Roger that. To quote an old song,"sometimes it hurts real bad".

Like today.

When I first started, I would wake up after the open and see everything red, and I scrambled to sell. Next day it was all green. Eventually I gained knowledge from almost all of my mistakes. I had amazon at $77 and made a few thousand and sold. Wrong thing to do. Out of sight, out of mind

I'm having a blast doing my little eTrade thing, studying, and watching videos, but yeah there's so much to know I def wouldn't trust myself to manage the real acct. That would be pure folly. Too bad there isn't some slick-haired yankee, doctor-turned-YT financial advisor out there somewhere managing funds. Sigh.

Try this: Find 10 stocks you believe in. You would invest in. Note: They should be from different industries, so not 10 banks for example. Ask yourself, what do you believe in? In banks? In agriculture? In big data? In commodities? In gold? In nuclear power? In pharmaceuticals? In Defense? In water? ...? From the industries you believe in, you select individual companies. They should also not all be from one country, so not all from USA for example. After that just ask here what me and others think about your selection. Then watch your selection for a while. It's fun, you learn something and you gain confidence.

So... the 10 year yield is above 2% and has risen, does that mean cash has left the debt market and has moved to the stock market?
