Have been enamored with hunting Canadians since 3rd grade.  

Never gets old. 

Too good not to share on this day..................thank you Victor and Laurel

Thanksgiving, 2024

 

From Ghost Ranch to your crib, all the blessings of hard work, faith, health and goodwill to you and yours.  My Christmas wish list includes having a few tons of female deer removed from the ranch!

The chart never lies!

 

"The stocks don't know you own them and wouldn't behave any differently if they did" 

As my account goes into NEW HIGH GROUND almost daily, I owe this man tremendous gratitude.

CANCER

My Grandfather.

I loved him.   The only time I heard him cry was when he told me he had cancer.   I know he loved me.   I never heard him say it.

HORSE CREEK FENCING

I would like to publicly thank Horse Creek Fencing for such outstanding work on the Ghost Ranch.

Buck Ward and his wonderful wife, Tricia have done excellent work.

They do a couple of things very well.    First, they tell the ranch owner what they are going to do.  Second, they do it.

No fluff, no excuses, no bullshit, no cutting corners.

They simply do what they say they are going to do.

If you need fencing don't hesitate to contact Buck Ward at Horse Creek Fencing.   His phone number is 406-570-6607. 

Serenity and Stillness with Electric!

 Packing out a hefty doe with electricity!

PERSPECTIVE

Life can be rather harsh.  Life can be beautiful!  The vistas will always be there long after you are. 

It doesn't matter whether you are looking up or looking down.

If your perspective, attitude, optimism, and energy aren't in sync not much else is in your life.

ELK & LIFE

Hunting elk can be deliriously wild!  It can be so easy.  It can be and is usually very hard.  It often takes you where your soul is free.  It can take you to sights and sounds not often heard or seen by people you know.  It can take you to lofty perches, to ample evidence of prey and predator, to skies so clear they make you feel you are in the next galaxy!

LIFE, 2024, MONTANA

This magnificent cottonwood tree defines the Ghost Ranch.  At Ghost Ranch, our attention to personal detail of the land and habitat drove our attitude of stewardship because we were of one mind that land had become a part of the family.  For many people, their Montana ranch changes them. Part of that is you get to Montana and start meeting good people who aren’t trying to impress anyone.  We very seldom had a conversation in Montana with someone where we did the whole, “Well what did you do”? It just isn’t important in Montana.  A big change from the big city in most of America. It becomes about kids, about the choice of lifestyle. You hear people talk about their Montana ranches and how they feel they impact lives and the world from their chunk of land, great sunrises and sunsets, and their closest neighbors being deer and elk.

You get to observe things that not many people in the world get to see. A bald eagle catching a fish in front of you, walking out your front door bumping into a big buck. These are not made up but actual occurrences, weekly if not daily, on the Ghost Ranch. 

Montana, Ghost Ranch

Owning a Montana hunting ranch is hard work. Many don’t realize just how much hard work it entails. A ranch will teach you respect for putting in a hard day’s work. Life gets in your soul and I’ve been told numerous times it changes your outlook on dealing with stress and urban life. I know it did for me.

GHOST RANCH, MONTANA

Running a Montana ranch teaches you about having to make hard decisions.  If you own a hunting ranch you may have to decide which wild animal to take to improve genetics. What crop to plant to help increase the population of certain species? It can teach skinning skills that have swayed kids into wanting to become surgeons. Nature is a fantastic schoolroom filled with problem-solving skills and lessons. Some of those decisions give you instantaneous feedback, while others may take decades to decipher if you chose right. Those skills are transferable to any job on this earth.

AGENDA 47

Donald J. Trump needs to initiate AGENDA 47.

The abolishment/overhaul/rewiring of leadership in the rancid, rotten, corrupt DOJ, FBI, FDA, etc.

 

Coyote............

This furry killer reminded me of a certain politician.   

Old, angry, not going anywhere from now on.  

Died on November 5, 2024.

Saving fawns one coyote at a time.

May Creator bless America and Donald J. Trump.

 

Greed & Fear, Pain & Pleasure, Bull vs. Bear

All bull markets start with investors crowding churches, synagogues and temples around the world.  At the country clubs, the Hamptons, Palm Beach, LaJolla, Greenwich a united chorus can be heard:  “Lord, forgive me for having overindulged myself in what turned out to be a bear market.  I got carried away, a bit too greedy…pardon me Lord I will never buy another high P/E stock again, mea culpa, no more Nifty 50 stocks or the latest, hottest Mutual Fund in Money Magazine.”   

It is always darkest before the dawn and then a loud and forceful voice is heard coming from the alter from those houses of worship:   

Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in the stock market.  As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with the bulls for most investors get exactly what they expect from the stock market.  Speak your truth quietly and clearly; but don’t listen to your salesman broker for they too have their mortgage to be paid with your commissions.  Avoid loud and aggressive persons (Jim Cramer) for they are vexations to the spirit.  If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser investors than yourself.  Enjoy your profits as well as your losses.  Keep interested in your portfolio, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.  Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.  But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many fundamentalists strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.  Be yourself.  Especially do not avoid the technician, those closing prints are usually real traders not algorithms.  Neither be cynical about making money; for in the face of losses and despair it is perennial and as green as grass.  Take kindly the counsel of your investment advisor, gracefully surrendering your hard-earned cash.  Nurture your mental stops to shield you against sudden market declines.  But do not distress yourself with imagining a $100 stock disintegrating to $15 in three days.  Many fears are born of bear markets.  Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.  You are a child of Wall Street no less, not poorer or richer, you have the right to be here.  And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt Wall Street is unfolding as it should.  Therefore, be at peace with the stock market.  The stocks don’t know you own them and wouldn’t behave any differently if they did.  Whatever you conceive your investment approach to be in the noisy confusion of life on Wall Street, keep peace with your soul.  With all it’s sham, drudgery and broken dreams, the stock market is still a beautiful world.  Be careful and strive for profits.

Donald J. Trump, 45 - 47

I am like Trump.  Tired of winning.  My portfolio is up HUGELY today on the back of the Trump victory.

Democrats got their ass kicked.  They had it in their pocket.  The wild child, Tim Walz, didn't help their cause.  Amazing that Minnesota has such a loser as its Governor.

The Democratic machine was at its zenith and they still got their ass kicked.  

They had complete control of the media 

They had complete control of our federal law enforcement agencies 

They had corrupt politicians, district attorneys and judges

They had all the celebrities 

They paid for influencers 

They relentlessly censored us

They controlled the voting machines 

They imported millions of new voters 

They had unlimited surveillance over everyone 

They had lobbyists 

They had BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street 

They had control of our legal system 

They had control of public school systems 

They had control of universities 

They had control of the military 

They had control of homeland security

They had control of hundreds of NGOS 

They had complete control of the financial markets 

They controlled our regulation agencies 

They had more money 

They controlled foreign policy

They taxed us to death 

They flooded our social media with bots and trolls 

They controlled Big Tech 

They controlled Google 

They controlled the talk shows, radio shows, magazines and broadcasting licenses 

They had the largest corporations behind them

They had decades of experience 

The military-industrial complex was behind them 

They had data centers running prediction models 

They had all of that

And they still lost

GHOST RANCH, MONTANA

Over the last decade many people have asked why we named our ranch on the Yellowstone River in Montana, the "GHOST RANCH".

This picture answers the question.

This is our chance to Save America!

How it's going................

 

I am pretty sure this is the big male coyote I watched chase a fawn across a hay field the other day.   He has dined on his last fawn at Ghost Ranch!

How it started.......................

You never forget your first fox.  Mine was in the fall of 1972 near the Chippewa River in Minnesota.   Caught it on a dead hen pheasant that was killed on the highway staked into the top of a pocket gopher mound.  Remember it like yesterday.  

There have been hundreds since.   What a beautiful renewable resource that's been nearly eliminated by his older cousin, Mr. Wily Coyote across much of his range.
 

Halloween eating and I'm not talking candy................

These Yellowstone River smallmouth bass are the finest fighting fish in North America!   I can't catch and release them fast enough!  I eat the fish injured by the hooks and probably won't make it. 

Is there any place in October that can beat the Yellowstone River?  

November starts tomorrow.   The weather will get serious.

Insanity in Government

The same CIA/FBI/State Department/Pentagon/DOJ cabal who protected Joe Biden from the consequences of his corruption at the 2020 election is also propping up Kamala Harris.

They want a puppet who will carry out their foreign policy agenda, not an uncontrollable President Trump who approached problems with logic and common sense, who had Iran broke and on its knees, unable to find proxies to attack Israel, who had Putin in a box, not invading his neighbors like he did under Biden and Obama, who had Kim Jong Un in a box, who lay down the groundwork for peace in the Middle East with the Abraham Accords, who vanquished ISIS, and who started no wars. 

To the Deep State cabal, Donald Trump is an existential threat - not to democracy as they pretend but to their power and control. 

Cheat card for the shit-for-brains crowd

Elon Musk uses the word "insane" to describe most things he finds "wacked" in his life.   The liberal insanity against the American people is hard to fathom.

Donald J. Trump

I voted early.  He got my vote.  At 70, I can overlook the pomp and B.S. of a billionaire.   I can't overlook who will get our nation back on the track we must be on.

Remember this, I just didn't vote for Trump.

I voted for Bobby Kennedy, Vivek Ramaswamy, Elon Musk,  JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard and all Americans united in making the United States of America a better place. 

THINK

 

Common Sense

 

Kamala Harris to Rescue Native Americans!

 Kamala to the rescue

 HARRIS finally breaks down and visits a remote northern reservation.
With news crews following her around as they tour the place, the Vice
President asks the chief if there was anything they need.

"Well," says the chief, "We have three very important needs. First,
we have a medical clinic but no doctor to man it."

Harris whips out her cellphone, dials a number, talks to somebody for
two minutes and then hangs up. "I've pulled some strings. Your doctor
will arrive in a few days. Now what was the second problem?"

"We have no way to get clean water. The local mining operation has
poisoned the water our people have been drinking for dozens of years.
We've been flying bottled water in, and it's terribly expensive."

Once again, Harris dials a number, yells into her cellphone for a few
minutes, and then hangs up. "The mine has been shut down, and the
owner is being billed for setting up a purification plant for your
people. Now what was that third problem?"

The chief looks at her and says, "We have no cellphone reception up
here!"

SAVED! Man's best friend!

A week ago I dropped by to see some neighbors who live a couple miles away to tend to some business.  They had lost their long-time pet dog and had told me what it looked like.  It was blind and deaf, two conditions for lost dogs in rural Montana that don't lend much help to making it home alive with so many predators.

Today, a week later, myself and my friend CAM HOLT from Bozeman, MT  who owns PRIMAL Meat & Fish in Bozeman were motoring down the Yellowstone River after a productive morning of catching fish; bass, sauger and catfish, and spotted a dog that was on the river bank under about a 10 foot cliff.   We were able to get to the dog, Cam had to half undress to get in the water and retrieve the dog and get it into the boat.  We called the owner to meet us with dog food and the rest is history!     

Fishing Partner or Competition?

This adult bald eagle was enjoying some quiet time when I came along on the run to Ghost Ranch Bay.   The pair are feeding on the dead deer I drug out of the river the other day that probably fevered up and died from "blue-tongue".

Smallmouth  bass are nomadic and you don't want to run your boat into good structure and send the school into the river.  Stealth approach works wonders.   This was on my first cast!

 

Wetting a line in Big Sky!

When you can't draw a tag to hunt antelope, sheep, deer, elk or moose it's time to go fishing.   In 70 years I have spent probably $100,000 on Montana hunting and fishing licenses for me and my entire family.  Even though my ranch fawns 100 fawns a year and winters about 300 deer I can't get a tag to harvest a buck deer!

Some years it just isn't meant to be.   Montana should just shut down mule deer hunting in counties with almost nonexistent deer numbers.   It's a sad state of affairs.  I lay blame squarely on MT FWP biologists' inability to forecast, use antiquated census surveys, and act in the best interest of mule deer.   Does Montana want to manage big game or just dollars?   You be the judge.  You are brilliant.  You have been hunting mule deer in Montana for a few years.  You might have shot a deer or three.  I am at 55 years of killing mule deer in Montana.   It's the worst I have ever seen it.   Sickening really,  and just wait till next year!  Just shut it down.    Coyotes are equal-opportunity killers.  They will kill their fair share no matter what.  True democrats they are! 

The cormorants were fishing this morning.  The bald eagles were fishing.  The otters were fishing.  These fall days on the Yellowstone are magical.  The blue of the heavens.  The gold of the leaves.  The diamond sparkles in the water.  

The next beautiful sound will be the cast iron skillet frying these delicious smallmouth bass. 

CALIFORNIA logic.................

 

This should keep the active diarrhea in the last 14 days out of the pool for sure!    

Trust the Government?

When I was a kid living in Mandaree, North Dakota the Feds set up a sting on the lady who lived across the street who was the Postmaster.   I guess enough mail had gone missing that the Feds decided to set up a sting operation.

Her name was Angie Eagle.  Her husband was Frank Eagle who was crippled for life in a hunting accident, sitting on the back of a pickup that took off after a deer.  Frank fell out, broke his back, and was confined to a chair for the rest of his life.  Costly accident!

If you can trust the government today I dare you do this. 

Grab $5,000 out of your bank and mail it to yourself.

 

Your Government at Work!

In three years, neither the J6 files nor the Epstein files have been released to the Public.  

Within days of an assassination attempt on Trump’s life, the CIA releases a letter supposedly ”written” by a would-be assassin placing a $150,000 bounty on Trump.

You can't make this up.

You're welcome

Dr. Casey Means, Healthcare TRUTH!

Dr. Casey Means:   “I learned virtually nothing at Stanford Medical School about the tens of thousands of scientific papers that elucidate the root causes of why American health is plummeting.” “I did not learn that for each additional serving of ultra-processed food we eat, early mortality increases by 18%. This now makes up 67% of the foods our kids are eating. I took zero nutrition courses in medical school. I didn’t learn that 82% of independently funded studies show harm from processed food, while 93% of industry-sponsored studies reflect no harm. I didn’t learn that 95% of the people who created the recent USDA food guidelines for America had significant conflicts of interest with the food industry. I did not learn that one billion pounds of synthetic pesticides are being sprayed on our foods every single year. 99% of the farmland in the United States is sprayed with synthetic pesticides, many from China and Germany, and these invisible, tasteless chemicals are strongly linked to autism, ADHD, sex hormone disruption, thyroid disease, sperm dysfunction, Alzheimer’s, dementia, birth defects, cancer, obesity, liver dysfunction, female infertility and more. I did not learn that the eight billion tons of plastic that have been produced just in the last 100 years … are being broken down into microplastics that are now filling our food, our water, and we are now even inhaling them in our air, and that very recent research … tells us that now about 0.5% of our brains by weight are plastic. I didn’t learn that there are more than 80,000 toxins that have entered our food, water, air, and homes by industry, many of which are banned in Europe, and they are known to alter our gene expression, alter our microbiome composition and the lining of our gut, and disrupt our hormones. I didn’t learn that heavy metals like aluminum and lead are present in our food, our baby formula, personal care products, our soil, and many of the mandated medications like vaccines, and that these metals are neurotoxic and inflammatory. I didn’t learn that the average American walks a paltry 3,500 steps per day even though we know, based on science and top journals, that simply walking 7,000 steps a day slashes by 40-60% our risk of Alzheimer’s, dementia, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and obesity. I certainly did not learn that medical error and medications are the third-leading cause of death in the US. I didn’t learn that just five nights of sleep deprivation can induce full-blown pre-diabetes. I learned nothing about sleep, and we’re getting about 20% less sleep on average than we were 100 years ago. I didn’t learn that American children are getting less time outdoors now than a maximum security prisoner, and on average, adults spend 93% of their time indoors, even though we know from the science that separation from sunlight destroys our circadian biology, and circadian biology dictated our cellular biology. I didn’t learn that professional organizations that we get out practice guidelines from, like the American Diabetes Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, have taken tens of millions of dollars from Coke, Cadbury, processed food companies and vaccine manufacturers like Moderna. I didn’t learn that if you address these root causes that all lead to metabolic dysfunction and help patients change their food and lifestyle patterns … we could reverse the chronic disease crisis in America, save millions of lives and trillions of dollars in healthcare costs per year. This is a spiritual crisis. We are choosing death over life, we are choosing darkness over light. We need a return to courage. We need a return to common sense and intuition. We need a return to awe for the sheer miraculousness of our lives. We need all hands on deck.”

9.11.2024 Boston

At Harvard, 23 years after the carnage.  Never forget.

Boston versus Nashville

Left Boston Logan this morning for Nashville, the early flight.

It was a great trip, more on that later.    Have taxes to pay to Uncle Sam today, (the 15th), the good Lord forbid I am a day late so they can give the $$ to criminal aliens or more MIC expenditures for Ukraine.

Two things struck me this morning that are different about Nashville versus Boston.

One, tats on about most folks in Nashville and two, far more obesity (fat people who think good health isn't their responsibility so they get as fat as they can) in TN.

Has anyone ever seen a tat so cool on a human that you want to walk up to them and admire the body art like you would a Michaelangelo, Vermeer, Raphael, or Picasso?   Didn't think so.

Miss anything or just unburdened by what has been?

 

Tyreek Hill

My Dad was in Law Enforcement.   He worked on many Indian Reservations across the Great Plains.   There weren't many cars that could travel 80 m.p.h. yet alone 100 plus M.P.H. on those reservation roads!

Common sense would dictate if driving over 100 miles an hour in a 55 m.p.h. zone you might get a speeding ticket and a run-in with the Law.

Tyreek Hill allegedly punched his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach and choked her, broke the arm of his 3-year-old son, and has 10+ kids with 6 baby mamas, but you’re surprised he would have a run-in with police for combative behavior?

PALANTIR

There are many reasons to buy stocks, to sell stocks, to own stocks, to not own stocks.   I buy stocks in a strategy that has served me well for about 30 years.   It is basically a strategy known in the investment management business as an "O'Neil/CANSLIM" strategy.  Like most things in life, I have adapted this strategy to fit the only guy that matters to my portfolio management, Dean Parisian.

Long ago, when Palantir was around $5, I saw this crazy guy on CNBC with wild hair talking about his company like it was shrouded in secrecy and for the world to know about.  I normally don't take flyers on $5 dollar stocks, because stocks are normally cheap for a reason.    But I did get my feet wet and bought some PLTR.   I guess Karp sounded honest and didn't care about anything but telling his story to the CNBC audience.

Over the years I bought more shares, sold shares, bot more, sold more,  and over time sold call options against the position and at one time had around 50,000 shares. (Here are call options I sold in 2021, (https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQuTaQcKY3crhIWXnDZdTwvngqGcOZJyIxYV7eZv5Cd67g6UPI0VhNq7qorUK9PiI2FIl7N9hqfWH4_/pub)     I have cut back dramatically on my position sizing (being retired) and am more active away from my screens doing life as it should be lived but I do love the screens.  Yes, I admit it, I still love the trading screens.  It's always fun to find a new name that is screaming to be bought!

Today, like many others, I got lucky.   Palantir shares were added to the S & P 500 index. The stock was up, as Trump says, hugely.

Good for me and good for Alex Karp.   It's been a fun ride.

I think the stock hits $50 before it hits $5 but what do I know?

This action has been deliriously wild as of late.

I feel/smell/anticipate a drawdown fairly soon.   Be ready.

Springfield, Ohio and Democrats

What a sad state of affairs.

Will those found eating ducks and geese from the local park be in violation for not having a migratory waterfowl stamp?  Canadian Geese are migratory waterfowl, and have a season and bag limit, which when violated is a FEDERAL crime with penalties of thousands of dollars and prison. 

Where are the Federal game wardens?

Remember this, first, it was the ducks and geese. Next, it will be their daughters and wives. But hey! Diversity is our strength!  You can't fix stupid, anywhere.  Springfield, Crow Agency, Mandaree, White Earth, Browning, you name it.  Look at this.

2020 election results in Springfield, Ohio

Donald Trump 55% of the votes.

Joe Biden 43% of the votes

43 out of 100 are getting what they voted for...

$1,000 says Kamala Harris gets that 43% again.

Here is a remedy from my desk...........

Send the Haitians to the neighborhoods of the members of the Senate Banking Committee.  The problem will quickly solve itself.

But, again, when you let the Third World move into your neighborhoods you get Third World problems.

RINOs have nothing to do with this; this is being entirely sanctioned and executed by this Democrat administration, (Biden/Harris), and abetted by Democrat politicians at the state and city levels via their sanctuary city declaration, and refusals to turn over these invader parasites to ICE when apprehended.   Use your brain.   27 countries have emptied their jails and sent gang members, addicts, and criminals to the USA.  Harris welcomed them all by leaving the border WIDE OPEN.

All part of the plan. A test run of wrecking suburban and middle-class America.  On purpose!

Here is another good belly laugh. 

I'm from the government and I'm here to help!

Elon Musk can't get to work fast enough.

September 1, 2024

September is here.   A lovely time of the year for weather in North America.

Not so much for the markets.  September can be brutal, akin to a truth being told at the DNC!

August was a good month.  A bit hot, weather-wise and I didn't catch as many smallmouth, sauger, and walleye as I had hoped on the Yellowstone River.  In the market, some names worked well and others got a boost for lift-off hopefully sooner rather than later.

I give all the credit to the years and years of mistakes I have made and the speed at which errors are corrected.

Most of all, thank you to MarketSurge, the late William O'Neil, my accountant, the TOS platform at Schwab (Think or Swim for those of you in Mandaree, Pine Ridge, and Pickstown) to all the great advice I have been privy to from Victor Niederhoffers website, (www.dailyspeculations.com) my old clients at Chippewa Partners/Native American Advisors, Inc., my family, my friends, and the millions of charts I have looked at over the years.  I said millions, not just hundreds of thousands.   I couldn't operate without MarketSurge.  Period.

Do the work.  Just work. Most people, especially stock brokers will not do the work to make themselves serious money in the stock market.  Most brokers don't know how to do the job to make serious money for themselves or their clients.     

If they did, they would be paid as investment managers and work for investment management firms. 

Let's hope this economy doesn't crash and burn.  A soft landing is possible but the Biden/Harris economy is not the answer for America.  Electing these Democratic liberal imbeciles will have consequences.  

SCAM ALERT: CLIMATE CHANGE B.S.

 

Thank you Jerome Powell

When they put it in your lap just say thank you.

Yesterday was down over $18,000.  Today I rung the bell!

FED Chairman, Jerome Powell was talking it up this morning in Jackson Hole, WY, and look what happened.

In the language of my tribe, the White Earth Band of Chippewa all I can say is,

Miigwech

Economics, Politics, the FED and America

Thank you, Jerry, Sun, Roy, and Chris for your time. Majoring in economics was a big help in my career albeit it was for me to sort out the wheat from the chaff. At the close yesterday I was down $18 grand, today up close to $50 grand and climbing.  Days like today I don't mind working in retirement.

That said, I can't own enough gold!

Today, the market is rallying hard on the Jackson Hole, WY pronouncements from FED CHAIR, Jerome Powell. My take is the same, inflation will skyrocket. These hucksters have no clue. 

It's all politics.

Jerome Powell, did NOT, address the printing of Trillions of dollars which caused all of this inflation starting during the COVID-19 fraud. Plain and simple, the pandemic was a controlled clinical trial in social engineering and a get-rich scheme for the Government to pay kickbacks to Big Pharma. He did not address handing $10 TRILLION to his cronies and friends. Epic gaslighting. Don't believe me? Just wait.

The housing market, and borrowing costs for the average American are irrelevant. Dropping interest rates is NOT going to bring down housing prices. Supply has a place and this misfit who is running for President knows zero about economics and managing anything least of all a border where she allowed 10,000,000 criminals into this great country and you are paying for them. Had enough yet? Keep voting Democrat. 

Lower rates have everything to do with issuing new debt at lower rates to fund trillions in proposed spending. This funding will include more war spending, backstopping toxic balance sheets in the banks, and rescuing trillions in commercial real estate.

All of this will be inflationary. Gold will go much higher as a store of value.

You knew they would find a perfect time to cut rates before the election. The day after the DNC they crow like roosters about how things have changed according to their data. Data, you ask?

When we thought the economy added a million more jobs in the last year, was that "data-driven"? How about today when we know it wasn't data-driven;  job creation was cut by 818,000 jobs. Data you say? Your government data is dirty and make-believe. Fairy dust data. If the Government BLS were a private company and lied to such a degree about job numbers in that order of magnitude it would be called fraud and they would face prison time.

The Fed is not data-driven, and neither are the markets.

Precious metals, oil stocks, and bonds are your best bets. I follow Warren Buffett, via Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares. He is adding cash and bonds and lowering his allocation to equities.

Remember I said this. A 2% inflation rate is fundamentally a scam on America.  It's theft.  Since January of 2022 the GDP, (gross domestic product for those of you in Mandaree) has grown by more than $5 Trillion while the debt has grown by almost $6 Trillion and during that time the interest on the Debt of the United States has risen from $423 billion to over $1 Trillion.

Today gold closing in on an all-time high, stocks are at all-time highs, and housing is at all-time highs.  Food, healthcare, and education are at all-time highs. 

Dropping inflation to 2% still has you paying 22% more on top of the 20% inflation you are paying now.  

If you like your $16 cheeseburger you can keep your $20 cheeseburger!

Trump is the lesser evil.  I will vote Trump.

 

 

Keep Voting Democrat

Coming to the America you know and love, just leave it to the Democrats!

ETF's

One of the greatest "new" innovations in the investment world has been the spawn of exchange-traded funds.

I love them. 

I use them daily, weekly, monthly, annually, and probably forever.

I don't need the inherent risk in an individual stock.

The proliferation of ETF's has been monstrous.

If you don't use them I would suggest you look into their many  benefits if you are not an active investor.

I'm just sayin'.............

One thing is certain and you can put this in stone.

What follows bull markets is bear markets.   Every day we get closer to the day of reckoning where shit hits the fan.

Remember this,  bear markets don't develop overnight and big liquidations don't begin at the market tops.

My equity market exposure has decreased over the last couple of years.  My biggest positions are boring as hell.

Costco, because I need help finding a place to park at the 8 Costco's I frequent around the country and in Mexico.

Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares simply because betting against Warren Buffet is a fool's game.

Nvidia.  Is there anything better in that space?   Didn't think so.

Palantir.  Am sticking with Alex Karp.  

I want to talk about a few names I own that will someday have their face in the sun and now they are in a dense fog.

Warner Brothers Discovery     Is David Zazlav reason enough to own it?  

SoFI.      Is 158,000,000 platform accounts enough to make a couple of bucks? 

We had a shot across the bow a couple of weeks ago though I didn't feel it because on August 5 I owned a slug of TWKS, Thoughtworks, and that was the day a buyout was announced.  Sometimes you get lucky.  

I did sell CMPO the other day.  Probably sold for the wrong reason but hindsight is always 100%.  It had been good to me so I said goodbye.

I don't have it to trade as aggressively as in 2021.

It was wild and very profitable during the Covid nonsense.

@RobertKennedyJr

The Covid pandemic was used to fundamentally change the relationship between US citizens and their government. The government’s public health response was not a medical response, but instead a test of technocratic power: to see how the population would respond to totalitarian edicts masked as medical interventions. The government also selected the lockdown winners and losers, transferring nearly 4 trillion dollars of wealth from the middle class & small business to Silicon Valley and big box stores. There have been NO corrections and NO apologies--because the government wants to be able to do it again. That is why we are hearing all the hoopla now about monkeypox and bird flu and yet more experimental vaccines. We CANNOT let this happen again. We MUST resist.

DNC

Note the speakers are Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Clinton.  The same people that have had a stranglehold on American politics for the past thirty years. 

Losers, liars and lunatics.

Is this treason or just mere oversight?

 Specifically, Biden and his family are accused of:

• Foreign Payments: The Biden family reportedly received over $27 million from foreign sources, often through shell companies, with some funds directly reaching Joe Biden’s bank account.

• Burisma Involvement: Hunter Biden was paid $1 million annually by the Ukrainian company Burisma, using his influence to support the company and allegedly shut down corruption investigations.

• CEFC China Energy: Hunter Biden received a $5 million "interest-free" loan from entities linked to CEFC China Energy, intended to benefit the Biden family.

• Vice Presidential Influence: Joe Biden allegedly used his position as Vice President to support his son’s foreign business ventures, meeting or speaking with his son’s business partners from Ukraine, China, Russia, and Kazakhstan.

• $3.5 Million from Russian Oligarch: Hunter Biden’s businesses received $3.5 million from Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina shortly before a reported meeting between her and Joe Biden.

• $8 Million in Loans from Donors: The Biden family allegedly obtained over $8 million in loans from Democratic donors, including nearly $6 million from entertainment lawyer Kevin Morris, covering various personal expenses for Hunter Biden.

• DOJ Favoritism: IRS whistleblowers alleged that the Justice Department gave Hunter Biden preferential treatment, blocking investigations and concealing evidence to avoid charges.
