End-of-the-Year Market Update

In 1999, I was a young trader working for a small hedge fund. The stock market was going straight up, the economy was doing great, and commodities markets were forgotten entirely. As everyone knows, we were in the last stages of one of the most ridiculous bubbles in history (the dot com bubble). In the middle of 1999, I became more and more bearish on stocks (especially high-tech stocks) and increasingly bullish on commodities (especially gold) and natural resource stocks. While I trade short-term as well as long-term, at heart, I’m a value investor. Needless to say, it was not an easy year for me. Value was ignored entirely, and investors were only interested in stocks with .com at the end of their names. Well, I stuck with my views and convictions, and over the next several years, I managed to make quite a bit of money for my clients

It was July 2007

It was July 2007.  On a whim, I sent an email to Aaron Krowne, founder of the website ML-IMPLODE.com.  I learned that he was a grad student at Emory University (and I believe working in the library of all places), which was literally a few miles down the road from where I lived.  On his website, ML-IMPLODE.com, he was documenting the banks and mortgage companies that were going belly up.  In that email I asked him to lunch, and to my surprise, he was agreeable.  “Andy, it is all going down.  Basically, the entire banking system is insolvent.  My project, ML-IMPLODE.com was started to document what I saw as the problem.  It has turned out so much more than that. The entire “F***ing system is going to go down.  I now have whistle blowers in some of the biggest banks send me tips.  This is the top of the market.”

Trump, Fiscal Policies, and Gold Stocks with Garrett Goggin

Fiscal Austerity, Debt Philosophy, and Gold Investments: Navigating the Economic Landscape in 2025 The intersection of fiscal policy, modern monetary theory (MMT), and gold investments is creating ripples in the global economy. With debt soaring and traditional economic philosophies shifting, understanding these dynamics is critical for investors navigating uncertain waters. Below, we break down key themes from a recent discussion on fiscal austerity, Trump’s debt philosophy, and how they impact the gold market and related investment opportunities. The Changing Face of Debt: Modern Monetary Theory and Beyond Debt has long been a contentious issue in economic discourse, but Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) is reshaping perspectives. Advocates of MMT argue that debt doesn’t matter as long as it fuels economic growth. Under this philosophy, government spending—regardless of debt levels—becomes a tool for driving growth. This outlook is gaining traction across political lines, with spending set to skyrocket in the years ahead.
