Hello Peak Prosperity subscribers, I’m still feeling blessed to have been invited on Tucker Carlson’s show, and I consider him to be the leading journalistic voice of my lifetime.  He’s curious, attentive, and dedicated to the truth wherever that leads.

As we all know personally, it’s not an easy path to walk. It’s more emotionally difficult than intellectually stressful, because it involves having our core beliefs challenged and often completely annihilated.

Beliefs such as “doctors can be trusted,” and “my government works for me and my betterment,” and “I live in a democracy.”

Tucker’s moment during the interview that stood out for me was him coming to the realization that markets aren’t what he thought they were.  Instead of being transparent and honest places where willing buyers and sellers engage in price discovery, they are instead “fake” as he said.

Indeed, they are.  Maybe not 100% of the time, but often enough to dismantle the idea that they are accurately telegraphing useful price signals upon which we all depend.

Oil Shennigans And The Looming Oil Shortages

I told him about the overnight shenanigans that have long plagued the silver market had begun to show up in oil too.  Take last night (7/24/26) for example.

The overnight markets typically have very low volume.  This is true for all commodities.  So it’s always a bit of a red flag when there’s suddenly a high concentration of selling pressure in a very tiny window of time.

So, very early this morning, at precisely 4:29 am, a whopping 5,120 oil contracts representing 5,120,000 barrels of oil ‘traded’ during a single one-minute ‘tick.’
