Deflation Ahead! No... We are not nuts. Most people are yelling and screaming about inflation. So why are we yelling about deflation? Here's the scoop. We have received our share of hate mail over the past few weeks since we came out with the claim that we may experience deflation by year end. Most of the messages were angry that we changed our mind. Yet, not one person has refuted our claim with any solid argument. Its important to understand this point. Inflation and deflation can exist at the same time. The only difference is your point of view and what you are measuring. However once you understand why we are saying deflation could happen by year end, it will all make sense. Join us this week where we further discuss our thesis on deflation. Its Valentine's day... Send us you love... send us your hate... Just send us something with your thoughts.

One of the biggest problems I hear from real estate investors is how do I find the best property manager... more accurately, "how do I find any property manager that is worth the money I pay them?"

This is not a joke. We have serious problems with our energy needs. Where we are now and where we want to be are miles apart and no amount of money, tax credits, and attacking other countries will solve it. While we all want a cleaner planet, that can only happen decades from now. If we try to speed up the process, it will bankrupt poor and middle class people. The only bridge is "big oil" and nat gas. You don't have to like my opinion, but its the truth. Facts don't lie... narratives do. This week we will be discussing this enormous paradigm shift within the inflation paradigm shift. is your head spinning yet? sorry. This is one of the most important trends right now and the politicians are doing their job of doing the exact opposite of the right thing. This will cause blackouts, recessions and bankruptcies. Things could easily turn around with rational policies, but that trends is not there. Join us this week to discuss this enormous trend and how it will impact your wealth and health.

This week is a treat. We interview Edward Chancellor about his new book , The Price Of Time - The Real Story Of Interest. Those who do not understand history are doomed to repeat it. This could not be more true in the current markets we have now. We invited Edward on the show to educate you on how to think about these markets in comparison to history. Interest rates are center stage in this circus. This was a great history lesson that could turn into actionable advice for those who are some inclined to learn about the past.

Bonds have performed very poorly in 2023. This is the worst YTD performance in a LONG time. Should you add them to your portfolio now or will things get worse?

Do you still think bonds are safe? After a year of bonds getting crushed along with stocks, you might think bonds are no longer safe. Well... They never were "safe". Now that everyone knows that, what should you do next? This week we discuss investing in bonds and how you should think about the impact of inflation on bonds for your portfolio. I think this is the first time in years that I have starting to look at bonds for portfolios. The key word is "starting" to look. We are getting to a point where things are getting interesting in bonds, but you still have to be careful.

It is amazing. The FTX Crash has caught most people off guard and many celebrities lost money too. There is word that it is one big ponzi scheme with politicians, slush funds, celebrity endorsers, and trying to expatriate SBF back to the US to face justice. This is the stuff that is Michael Lewis will be writing about in the big Short 2 (which apparently he has been embedded for the past 6 months with SBF). I do find it odd that I have not heard anyone screaming for his arrest yet. They got Bernie Madoff quickly. Why not this guy? Is there more to come? It is still too early to know all the details, but the initial reports are riveting... of course it could also be fake news.
