Rates Higher-for-Longer; Vax U-Turn in Progress
 PREVIEW
by davefairtex

The buck rose 0.78 [+0.76%] to 103.53 this week, managing to close above the 50 moving average (MA) on Friday for the first time since the big decline began back in November 2022. My weekly DX (dollar) model isn’t quite in bullish mode just yet, but as you can see, this is the first two-week…

We had a market two-fer this week: first, Powell Press Conference Wednesday, followed two days later by Payrolls Friday. First, Powell Wednesday. The Fed raised rates by the expected 25 basis points (bp) (+0.25%). I reduce an hour of press conference down to five bullet points: We need substantially more evidence that inflation is on…

Signs and symptoms of recession this week: Retail Sales (RSAFS): -1.16% month over month (m/m), motor vehicles -1.62% m/m, food and beverage +0.03%. Bearish.

Narrative Keepers in a Panic!
by Chris Martenson

The Damar Hamlin case sent the keepers of the narrative into a panic. They pulled out all the stops as they tried, unsuccessfully, to install a bogus narrative that something called “commotio cordis” was the reason Damar collapsed during a live televised national NFL game. A more proper differential would not prematurely exclude the possibility…

2022 Year In Review
by Chris Martenson

2022 was a year of incredible events and developments. Too many to pick from, but let’s give it go. Among the key themes for me were: How committed the mainstream press and health authorities were to ignoring the fact that Omicron basically ended what little reason there was for calling Covid a pandemic. Censorship and…

It is usually a curse because, as with the myth of Cassandra, people “blessed” with Sentinel Intelligence are destined to be ignored by most people while also being burdened with the trait of…

 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...
