It’s important that we embolden each other and be the source of support in these crazy times.  Not only is there nothing wrong with “preaching to the choir” but it’s essential that we do. Let’s be honest; too many people have lost their minds.  They’ve fallen into deeply illogical territory from which they may never […]

If you were at all put out by Covid’s 99.95% survival rate, you’re going to absolutely hate what’s coming next.  Decades of abusive and/or boneheaded monetary policies and fiscal deficits are going to create huge amounts of misery and immiseration for vastly more people than Covid ever directly touched. The solution is to build your […]

Europe faces the kind of winter it’s known for…very cold, very hard. The forced reduction of energy – warmth – will hurt the people. Yet, the elites are hell bent on it…for climate change. And that’s not all. Climate lockdowns are currently being proposed by some leaders, and then there is the active destruction of […]

Saudi Arabia’s Chilling Oil Production Truth Bombs

As I said in yesterday’s Inside Take, Evie and I are busy preparing for the amazing Honey Badger Gathering here at our homestead on Thursday. But when I ran across the transcript from a speech THIS MORNING by the CEO of Saudi Arabia’s national oil company, I could not sit on it. And like yesterday, I am making […]

The Consumer Price Index release on Tuesday (expected: -0.1% m/m, actual: +0.12% m/m) had the strongest impact on prices this week; equities sold off hard (more than 2% in five minutes). The S&P 500 Index (SPX) eventually closed the day at the dead lows, which is never a good sign, since it means “there was […]

You need to be ready for what’s coming later this year, next and probably for many years stretching into the future. We’re now past “peak prosperity,” and things are getting harder from here on out in terms of ease and comfort. On the positive side, life may well be far more meaningful and sensible. Or […]

 Daily Take (9/27/23): Gold, Silver, 10-Year Rates & Oil Are Telling Us Something
AUDIO for 9-27-23: What Are Gold and Oil Telling Us? Something is about to break. The warning signs are everywhere in the markets right now. One of the warning signs for me is when “they” break out the rescue operations which consist of violent buying programs for stocks and equally violent selling programs for gold and silver.
