Ancient skulls often have perfect teeth.This may seem strange.Because for 99.99999% of human history, we didn't have toothbrushes or braces. No orthodontic surgeons to remove wisdom teeth.So how were ancient people's dental health so good?Much of the answer lies in how they were used.Gnawing on bones, chomping cartilage, and chewing on roots from a young age.These actions create small stresses whi...Read More

We'll consider key events from the past 365 days, and what we can expect could happen next.And right up front: If any modern American President has ripped away the political Band-Aids and exposed the raw, bleeding, longstanding, unhealed, infected, suppura...Read More
My old friend Steve used to write stories about "Old Turkey". He was a character from Jesse Livermore's Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.Old Turkey was known for his patience in a bull market. Because the hardest thing for most investors to do is nothing. His advice was always to "sit tight" and don't sell during a bull market.When younger traders would tell him to sell and buy back in cheaper, h...Read More
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is taking place in Davos, Switzerland, this week.Presidents, PMs, CEOs, bankers, and other "elites" have hopped in their private jets to lecture us peasants about climate change. And of course there will be plenty of plotting, scheming, and discussing geopolitics.Having so many swamp dwellers packed into such a small area only happens once a year.Given the chaotic st...Read More
If Ibn Khaldun parachuted into Washington in 2026, he wouldn't ask for directions. He'd ask for a whiteboard.The man spent the 14th century explaining why empires rise, rot, and fall apart under their own weight.The awkward truth? His framework maps onto modern America a little too cleanly.Debt binges. Bloated bureaucracies. Culture-war bread and circuses. Elites who talk about "the people" the wa...Read More

We need to talk about the difference between physical gold and gold miners.Physical gold, the actual metal, is insurance. Unlike a country's currency, gold is an asset without being someone else's liability. That means it can't be frozen or sanctioned by another country. That makes it the asset of choice for financial institutions when there is risk of currency debasement and inflation.Inflation s...Read More
In March of last year, I wrote an article titled "Silver's 3x Upside".Silver was trading at $34.33 at the time.I expected the move to $100 to take until 2028, maybe even longer.Instead, silver shifted into vertical mode during the second half of 2025. It's currently trading at $111.69 per ounce, after briefly reaching $117.Lately, even I've been questioning whether it's time to take some profits.B...Read More
"Never open your article by talking about the weather."That' advice comes from one of the high priests of editorial writing, Mark Ford, who ran a bootcamp for writers which I attended long ago. I've not forgotten what he said, so I try to stick to my wheelhouse which is economic issues, energy, metals, geology and military stuff, and various related subjects.But today? Well... Today the weather IS...Read More
