2 hot takes:

1: Oil at 5 yrs lows? You'd never know that from the gas prices here in CA.

2: You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person.

Hot take: Gold’s surge isn’t driven by inflation or dollar debasement. It stems from a global dollar shortage caused by high real interest rates. Tight credit and limited dollar liquidity are pushing investors toward no-counterparty assets like gold, but once liquidity improves, that move may reverse quickly.

Personally I have puts on gold and bought more btc this morning.

Yes m2 expansion is good for gold long term. But gold right now is in a bubble.

FWIW.

The "resist" signs are the new "Black Lives Matter" signs that dotted my lily white suburb a few years ago, along with the Ukraine flags on lawns of people who couldn't find the place on a globe given 3 tries! It's all theatre, nonsense.. I'm sure I'll bump into you at a "No Kings" rally this weekend..

Great column, enjoy the fall weekend!
