You can but shouldn’t say only half of the story :
The index dollar rose since January 21 from 89 to 114,75 and since October 22 til beginning of February it did indeed correct to 103,50 where it stand now . That’s the all story .
Egypt -- No better example of your Shakespeare quote than Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. For every one TV documentary on a good person or group, there seems to me to be at least 10 TV documentaries on Hitler and the Nazis. At one time it was so bad on the History Channel that I began calling it the Hitler Channel! I guess many folks are more interested in evil than good. Sad!
Who the hell wants to watch donations being delivered to third world countries and people getting off drugs?
Imagine the poor ratings on a channel like that, a TV news channel that would only televise good things happening around the world! Their ratings would be as bad as CNN! J/K 😂
𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤, 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥! Crows are intelligent birds. Science has demonstrated that they remember humans they come in contact with, good or bad. It is not uncommon for them to attack humans.

Love the crow story, reminds me of my skink story, but that is a story for another day. Lest anyone think there is serious business in DC to fix our problem, I read this missive on line yesterday. There is talk within the scientific community that a plume of "moon dust" would help to subdue some of the harmful rays of the sun if it were dispensed into our solar system. I read further and discovered that the US Office of Science and Technology was reviewing the comments on other rapid interventions to curb global warming and evidently were considering the same option. Also, the European Union is studying the idea. So, there is concern all about for fixing the problem. Our problem is the folks who are considering this as a remedy for global warming! Just sayin' not to take anything from the poor crow.
Bad diagnosis, in medicine or anything else, can lead to disaster. It’s always best to be absolutely sure of the big problems before setting out to fix them. Trial and error is for little things.
Bill, As I recall it, the Federal Reserve was established to ensure there would always be suitable liquidity in the credit markets. If there was some extraordinary demand for dollars, then the Fed would produce them and, to avoid inflating the currency, it would withdraw them when the demand for dollars dissipated. Perhaps I've misunderstood its charter.
Regardless, is its machinations solely responsible for the massive loss of USD purchasing power? Does the lack of a restraint on Federal government spending contribute to what your AI machine cites the impending loss of confidence in the USD?
Bill fabulous story about how to get rid of critters/squatters who take up unwanted residence in your chimney .. one of the invisible stats that is really important are the dramatic rise in eviction notices which are still (by local laws) published in many local papers .. perhaps landlords or house owners/hoarders are now the 'crows' or is it the other way around? do we have a right to own more than one residence ? maybe the crows don't think so ? or they just did not like their relative/friend catching fire ? whose right and whose wrong always a hard call depending on local rules of law ..?
I wonder if any squatters have taken up residence on your dwellings in the land of the Pampas?
Gbp , Norwegian and Swedish crowns, australien dollar , New zeland dollars and all the emerging currencies lost value ag the “devaluated “ dollar and if you meant ag gold , how much more those currencies have lost ag gold .
The only currencies to have gain since august 1971
Are Swiss franc , Japanese yen and Deutche mark or Euro today . And yes even those tree have lost ag Gold .
Now half empty or half full the glass .
I do believe that the usd is going to lose a lot ag gold in the future , but I do believe also than it s going to strength ag those currencies above for a little while . Because interest rate and strong employment market at least better that Europe and Japan .
china just bought about 58 billions of us government bonds . And Japan it s not selling is dollars for fears of default but to stop the yen from getting weak to fast , the third most reserve of us , the British are not selling at all , come the Swiss with more than 600 billions in their réserve not one sell order .
I believe it will take sometimes before the panic button is hit , and we will see the “prémices “ coming , hopefully.
I couldn't feel secure without you Bill and your team, with my savings I try to manage as best I can and need. I agree and follow you and Tom in your analysis and suggestions of investments.
Because to me, you Bill represent wisdom and sanity in the decomposition of our society. Love to read your daily letter.
We are certainly thousands and thousands to appreciate what you give us.
Bill, your "Bird story" is better entertainment than Hitchcock. Thanks for keeping a smile on our face while Prof Joel gives us the bad news.

Bill, I hope your wrong too... but I got a bad feeling...
Your list of detractors says nothing but good about Bonner the man.
Safe travels.

Hi Joel ,
You can but shouldn’t say only half of the story :

Correct. We followed it up, too... and now, down...
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. (Julius Caesar)
As the crow flies!
Ecclesiastes 9:5
ESV
(5) For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for jthe memory of them is forgotten.
I don’t know exactly why all of the above crossed my mind after reading Bonner and Comments! Hahaha! 😂😹🤣
Egypt -- No better example of your Shakespeare quote than Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. For every one TV documentary on a good person or group, there seems to me to be at least 10 TV documentaries on Hitler and the Nazis.

Ain’t that the truth!

Yep.... i bought 2 life like crows to put near my chickens.... most people think they are real at first
Crows circled around first day i put them out.
No hawks have come near chickens
PS i have not laughed as much in a while as reading BB firey crow story!!
Wow, glad Bill survived the vengeance of the crows. As for the unfortunate fiery denizen of his chimney, quoth the crow nevermore.

This reminds me of the global dimming theory that was popular after planes were grounded after 9-11.
You are suppose to use smoke not fire. Sort of overkill.
Bil used New York Times, only smoke no fire.
Lol, thanks. I needed that!

Dan et. al.,
An interesting analysis and article by Glenn Greenwald in link. Everyone should become familiar with his reasoning. https://greenwald.locals.com/upost/3498549/chatgpt-and-the-uncertain-future-of-artificial-intelligence
Jim,thank you for mentioning Glenn Greenwald and giving his site information.found it pretty interesting and imformative.
Just for info about the devaluation of the usd
Since 1971 the following currencies :
Gbp , Norwegian and Swedish crowns, australien dollar , New zeland dollars and all the emerging currencies lost value ag the “devaluated “ dollar and if you meant ag gold , how much more those currencies have lost ag gold .
The only currencies to have gain since august 1971
Are Swiss franc , Japanese yen and Deutche mark or Euro today . And yes even those tree have lost ag Gold .
Now half empty or half full the glass .
I do believe that the usd is going to lose a lot ag gold in the future , but I do believe also than it s going to strength ag those currencies above for a little while . Because interest rate and strong employment market at least better that Europe and Japan .
china just bought about 58 billions of us government bonds . And Japan it s not selling is dollars for fears of default but to stop the yen from getting weak to fast , the third most reserve of us , the British are not selling at all , come the Swiss with more than 600 billions in their réserve not one sell order .
I believe it will take sometimes before the panic button is hit , and we will see the “prémices “ coming , hopefully.
