Stocks and Bonds Do Dangerous Dance – Ep. 327
2/7/2018
Volatility The volatility is really continuing, in fact, today at one point this morning the Dow was up close to 400 points; ended up closing negative. It wasn’t a big drop; about 20 points, but I think that’s the biggest reversal of a gain to a loss in a little over 2 years. The broader market […]

China Rings a Bell – Ep. 316
1/10/2018
January 10, 2018 Bells are Ringing but Nobody is Listening They always say that nobody rings a bell at the top.

I think many bells ring, not necessarily […]
