The Federal Open Market Committee voted to lower rates by 25 bps at the September meeting, citing “that downside risks to employment have risen.” I reported in December 2024 that the computer had forecast a decline in employment during the incoming Trump Administration. Based on the most recent data, the unemployment rate stands at 4.1%, […]

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene voiced a harsh truth: America is a divided nation. These differences appear irreconcilable, and Greene is proposing “a peaceful national divorce.” Which state will file the papers first? The computer system warned long ago that the United States would not remain as one country indefinitely. The cycle of political disintegration is […]

Nepal’s Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Oli resigned immediately after massive youth protests swept the nation and led to deadly clashes with police that left over 20 dead. Anger over government corruption has been rising. Youth unemployment surpassed 20% and people aged 15 to 40 compose 43% of Nepal’s population. The final straw was a nationwide […]

COMMENT: The comment you posted was correct. Jim Cramer always said bad news is good news. He and everyone else continue to advocate for lower interest rates, and you have shown that when rates decline, so does the economy and stock markets.

We had come to the same conclusion that all of this talk of BRICS and de-dollarization was being promoted by people in the conspiracy category, lacking any honest experience in international commerce. Before the meeting, we called one, and our […]

We are watching the initial dog & pony show where Trump parks nuclear-capable jets on both sides of the red carpet and then has a B-52 flyover. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin has prepared to test a new missile in a move aimed also to show force, which is expected from both sides. This is just for […]

Trump’s decision to send the National Guard into Washington, D.C., will be defended as a matter of national security. History teaches us this is not about protecting the people at all. The National Guard was deployed to protect the political class from the people. The United States is now following the same path we have […]

QUESTION: Good evening Martin, Could the war possibilities the models are producing reflect civil unrest in multiple nations at once rather than a world war? Could today’s Jacobins be about to meet Mr Guillotine? Thanks … FA in Arkansas ANSWER: This WWIII appears to be far more chaotic than WWI or WWII. There is a […]
