1. The 1st step into making baseball exciting again: stress more stolen bases. Those damn computers have determined that the cost/benefit calculation doesn’t work for stolen bases. That’s nonsense. Pitchers should be called for balks if they cross that imaginary first base/home plate line. Call the balks. And let us enjoy speed on the [...]

1. The fall is coming. Tis the season for market volatility. Whenever we're in an overpriced stock market, I tend to get nervous. Markets are full steam ahead after Powell spoke. This makes me nervous too. It will be interesting… 2. Many seniors still have a ton of cash earning nothing; literally nothing. Funds [...]

1. Think of the trillions of dollars sitting in bank accounts earning less than 50bps. Savers have sat with their funds earning nothing for a decade. Be a hero and contact your senior clients on moving funds to a fixed annuity or Legacy Matters products. Some funds cannot be moved into volatile investments. Keep [...]

1. I go to San Diego for 8 days and go out every night for dinner. Every night I asked for a summer beer. How many times did the establishment have a summer beer? The answer is zero. More proof that So. Cal. does not have 4 seasons… 2. Here's a very simple rule [...]

1. Notice that since Covid there has been no talk of debt issues in Euro zone. Did you know that last week Greece issued bonds at a negative interest rate? I said Greece. What is the bottom line here: Western countries have bought; hook, line and sinker into the Magic Money Tree (MMT). This [...]

1. Stock analysts came out next week and said to the public that we can no longer forecast or analyze the retailer, Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY). The numbers are so out of wack that experts can no longer value this company. I have never heard this happen to a main-stream retailer. Here’s another [...]

1. Investment Legend Stanley Druckenmiller on DOGE: "Manifestation of the craziest monetary policy in history. It's just this wave of money in the Greater Fool Theory. Having said that, I wouldn’t short it because I don’t like putting campfires out with my face. So I pretend DOGE doesn’t exist." 2. I sure wish the [...]

1. I love how The Fed is in the business of climate change now. Their powers are endless folks, and we will continue to witness their encroachment into various disciplines like science and social issues. Never forget: "When you control the money supply, you control the world." 2. I read last week that companies [...]

1. If Pets.com was the symbol of excess for the late 90s bubble, what will be the today's symbol in the future? I think it will be Bitcoin. A currency that tech guys created out of thin air that's worth over $50k a coin? And this doesn't make you frightened as hell?? 2. My [...]

1. Do you feel it? It’s the craziest time ever to be a financial advisor. Due to the uncertainty and risk, doesn’t it make sense to move seniors into more guarantees? 2. I’m sorry, but I’m a “sky is falling” kind of guy. But the higher the markets rise, the further they may fall. [...]
