Depressing Reasons Why I Am Bullish On Gold (Part 2) – Ep 302 Sep 17, 2026 Here is what changed my mind. Not something about gold, but many things about the dollar. The US dollar is the world's reserve currency. It has had a well-deserved place since WWII, and that rested on three things: the largest, steadiest, most diverse economy; a politically stable democracy; the best military.

Today’s Market = 1999 Capex + 2008 Credit – Ep 298
Today’s Market = 1999 Capex + 2008 Credit – Ep 298 Jul 31, 2026 I wrote in the past that the AI rollout feels a lot like déjà vu of the 1999 telecom bubble. Today's AI bubble has elements of both the 1999 overinvestment in internet infrastructure and the 2008 collapse of financial instruments that infected the banking and financial system.

You are not as smart as you think you are – Ep 295 Jul 10, 2026 Lately, I’ve been getting this powerful feeling that everything I touch turns to gold. Every time I buy a stock, it goes up.
