Market Update: Flying Too Close To The Sun?
 PREVIEW

The disconnect between the accelerating economic damage caused by covid-19 and the reckless exuberance seen in the stock and bond markets is crazy-making at this point.

Prices have been steadily marching upwards in defiance of the ugly data. And in Big Tech, companies are now more overvalued than they were before the pandemic hit.

How, pray tell, can you even pretend to justify these companies trading near the same prices as they did three months ago — after 30 million Americans have been laid off, GDP is contracting the largest rate in history, and household and corporate budgets are being slashed?

Why Gardening Starts With Growing Good Soil

Whether you’re new to gardening or not, your success is rooted (pardon the pun) in appreciating that to grow healthy plants you first need to grow healthy soil.

Perhaps the top soil experts in the world are Paul and Elizabeth Kaiser, owners and operators of Singing Frogs Farm — world famous for their nature-based yet innovative approach to farming, in which no tilling of any kind is done to the soil. No pesticide/herbicide/fungicide sprays (organic or otherwise) are used. And the only fertilizer used is natural compost.

To help direct and inspire your efforts to get your coronavirus garden off to the right start, here’s an 8-minute clip of the Kaisers presenting at our last seminar, showing what’s possible when you focus on growing good soil.

As more data pours in showing the severe and worsening contraction of the global economy due to the impact of covid-19, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the only thing propping up today’s financial markets is the $trillions in rescue stimulus promised by governments across the globe.

Bloomberg estimates that flood to be in the range of $8 trillion — and counting.

Will it be enough?

Your Help Needed For Research

Due to their respect for our daily coverage of the covid-19 pandemic, as well as their appreciation of the high standard of thoughtful discussion exhibited by the Peak Prosperity community, a professional research organization, Azurite Consulting, has asked us to partner with them on an important survey they’re conducting.

Right now, we need 100-200 brave souls who’d be willing to be the first to take the survey. This vangard will help us make sure the survey works as intended and be able to provide feedback if they have ideas for improving it.

Are you willing to be one of those pioneers?

Economic Shockwaves

Small/medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like your local restaurant, dry cleaner, bookstore and building contractor are being hit especially hard by the coronavirus, as they don’t have the reserves to withstand the many weeks of no income the lockdown is placing them under. Many of them have already laid off their employees. Many may never reopen.

The jaw-dropping severity of this job carnage can already be seen in last week’s unemployment numbers. Claims spiked up to 3.3 million — nearly 6x higher(!) than the worst week of the Great Financial Crisis.

So what impact will this all have? What will the rest of 2020 be like?

After last week’s continued meltdown, stocks rebounded sharply earlier this week, with Tuesday’s gains setting an all-time one-day record for both point and percentage gain.

Questions we’re now hearing from PP.com readers over the past few days include:

  • Given the announced QE and $2 trillion stimulus package, is the bottom now in?
  • With the news that physical supply of gold is “running out”, what does that mean for gold & silver prices? For the mining stocks?
  • What steps should investors like me be taking now?

To answer these questions, I just recorded another brief interview with the lead partners at New Harbor Financial, the financial advisor Peak Prosperity endorses.

 Prep Now for the Coming Winter Challenges
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the needs and sustainability of our family. We have six young children, our oldest just turned 12 and our youngest just turned 3 months old. I love the considerations that the article had above and thought I would add a few things that I have considered for our situation. My...
