By: Keith Weiner, Monetary MetalsFor years, people blamed the global financial crisis on greed. Doesn't this make you want to scream out, "what, were people not greedy in 2007 or 1997??" Greed utterly fails to explain the phenomenon. It merely serves to reinforce a previously-held belief. Far be it from us to challenge previously-held beliefs (OK, OK, we may engage in some sacred-ox-goring from...Read More

The Yellow Vests were protesting across the country but most of the press concerning them was from Paris. We spent a week in southern France where most of the police were sympathetic to the protestors. Outside Paris the Yellow Vests opened toll booth gates (no tolls today!) and...Read More
It felt like a mountain of supply sitting on stocks last week, growing more ponderous by the day. By Thursday the broad averages were too fatigued to achieve even minor 'Hidden Pivot' rally targets, the still-feisty FAANGs too subdued to help.
