You keep blaming the messengers,the Fed,politicians,etc.The real problem is too much government in the hands of voters,who are short term greedy and long term ignorant.So,changing captains of the Titanic won't stop the ship from sinking.Government destroys wealth,while the private sector creates wealth.When government gets large enough,relative to the private sector,wealth is destroyed faster than it's created.We had our last chance to save the ship,when Reagan was President of the U.S. and Thatcher was Prime Minister of UK.Reagan said,"Govt isn't the solution,it is the problem".Thatcher said,"Socialism ends when you run out of other peoples' money".Too late to save the ship.
Lol. It sounds like the Fed has infiltrated your ranks Bill.
PG V wants solutions, and because you seem to be throwing rocks, he figures you should not only be able to replace the window once its busted, but rebuild the house while you're at it.
jrj90620 seems to have the answer. Its simply too late. Even to be complaining about the fact that the hole in the bottom of the ship is just too bloody big. She's going down. So stop squawking for gosh sakes, says jrj90620.
Looks like Ayr Rand had the answer back in the 50's. Let it fall. Let it consume itself. And then rebuild. With the mistakes of the most recent past, fresh in mind.
Just like Rome, and all the other great civilizations in the past, the USA along with a number of other countries will default on their obligations. Governments will break apart. People will be held accountable. Most likely by force. Countries may/may not fall into civil wars. New lines will be drawn. New countries may even form. It will not be the same as today.
Bill's job is to warn you. Over and over again. How to best keep your sh*t together. He is not here to defend the way it was done, is being done. Just to observe and report. And even laugh or chuckle along the way. To illucidate what is pretty simple and straightforward to him, but may be blindingly unobvious to the rest of us.
As it continues to be for the likes of PG V and jrj9060.
Bill as you point out may not have all of the answers but he does have 20/20 vision (I may even go so far as to say 15/15), he and his peers offer a means for one to mitigate and minimize considerable financial damage in their personal lives. Most of us do not have the time to stay on top of the daily grind as we are to busy making a living or trying to> I find considerable value in the advice given here as a means to stay solvent as compared to most of the talking heads in the investment community. Criticism is generally easy and why there is so much of it - I see it in all levels of government. I do not feel that you have a right to complain unless you have something meaningful to bring to the table as a solution.
Those 60,000 PhD’s have, for the most part and for the better part of 6 decades, been horribly miseducated. Therein lies our problem. The typical PhD thesis for non-STEM fields has become an encomium to political correctness and progressive narratives. Nothing else can be defended. And the rot has infiltrated the STEM fields in this century, where environmental rectitude in particular must be embedded in every thesis. The corruption of government sponsored Education in America since WW2 cannot be overstated. Also impossible to overstate is the impact this has had (and is having)on our nation. Education is the root of the tree.
We do have one party rule it is the DemoPublican party. They will never let a 3rd party candidate win and therefore change will not have but a slim chance. Ross Perot had a good shot in 1992 however he quit and America has always hated quitters. He tried to get back in but he should not have dropped out. https://people.howstuffworks.com/10-third-party-presidential-candidates.htm Jesse Ventura, took the state of MN as a Governor and was a major upset. I did not vote for him but wish I had. The man was more up to speed than any other candidate before or since and he implemented a weekly show called talk to the Governor and it was on live radio. To my point he did not get re-elected. But I consider his tenure as one of the best. Unfortunately when your from outside of the parties it is hard to steer either in the right direction.
I have a PhD, (it’s not in finance though, now wish it had been😂) and I don’t use it. Paid all of my student debt back with no freebies. Bureaucracy rules and continues to strengthen. Wilson, Maslow, Mayo, Hawthorne expirements. A little bit of both worlds combined with the private and public sectors in democracy.
It’s fun reading this blog, and all the different perspectives, from real people. The more you privatize and decentralize (Reagan), the deeper down the rabbit’s hole we go.
A centralized government with accountability (Max Weber) is the foundational pivotal point in the establishment of “government in action” administration.
Unfortunately, we are dealing with double inflation, (higher consumer prices in juxtaposition with supply chain problems). The economy was never running hot prior to inflation, with the pandemic it was and is already very slow, so now the consumer prices are high for two reasons, lots of fake money, like Mr. Bonner says, and supply chain problems, thus the double inflation (you can triple it by adding the labor shortage, aka unemployment) CANNOT be fixed with higher interest rates because you are essentially not slowing down a hot running economy, it was and is already dead in the water! 😂 You’re basically adding dead fish into the pond. The Federal Mandate is a joke, you’re going to hear from the Feds soon how it’s “all going to get worse before it gets better”. Hahahaha, come on boys, at some point we are going to just have to suck it up! Or leave the country in time intervals and administer other opportunities elsewhere like Mr.Bonner. 😀
Have to agree with luke.Bill's job is to warn us.He gives us the investment information of what he is doing.We,than make up our own minds as to what our lifeboat looks like.It took them 14 years
to sink the boat (since 2008) and now we are there.We can blame who wish,does it matter.
Liberal?? You talk like you were watching too much CNN my friend. Read some zero hedge or American thinker. There you will find the truth. Not the propaganda you’re spouting
Yes Bill, we are living through the end of the world as we knew it. America and Europe are failing, as China gets stronger, and all the kings horses, and all the kings men, will never put the world as we knew it, back as it was again...which may not be such a bad thing.
We see how mentally and morally challenged the average democrat has become in the last 60 or so years, starting with the communist attack on our entertainment and education system in the late 50s.
Many have been seduced into the demented cult, not fully understanding the history and evil behind the social "equality" it espouses.
Yes, we all know the fate of those useful idiots who promoted their sealed fates, by supporting such vile, anti-God, anti-human creatures. Nature has a way to neutralize insanity.
As elections have consequences, actions and non-actions also do.
The most important duty of our elected is to protect our citizens.
The elected have prompted lawlessness and handcuffed the law, and the lawless rule. We have been here and seen this many times throughout history, but this time may have a slightly different outcome, as we the people who Love God, Family and Country are extremely capable of defending ours, and unlike the results of the past, in countries unable to defend their rights, we will not submit! God Bless America, and those who fight for her!!!
Its lamentable for USA citizens to be caught up in a sh't position. As an Australian we have enough problems of our own making. Those responsible should be brought to account. The world was closed down by Government intervention due to Covid. What a disaster as all countries are verging on bankruptcy. In an effort to avoid this, they are grabbing at everything they can to make good the dire position they find themselves in. Handing control of the Country to Medic's was an absolute disaster as "economics" was ditched as all will be solved as money could be printed to solve all problems.

By the way when we had a surplus budget in MN Jesse Ventura said give it back to who we took it from - the citizens.

Sometimes the forest gotta burn dead wood. It’s actually liberating to watch. From the sidelines that is.

"An NFT of Jack Dorsey’s first tweet sold for $2.9 million a year ago; now it’s on sale... top bid so far: $14,000."
LOL! Hasn't anyone else yet figured out that NFT stands for New Fangled Tulips?
Please give us back the older version of Bill. The one with a good sense of humor and self deprecating.
This endless whining is just boring.
A.
Liberal?? You talk like you were watching too much CNN my friend. Read some zero hedge or American thinker. There you will find the truth. Not the propaganda you’re spouting
maybe we buying to many goods from China I don't think we have factories anymore everything I buy seems to be made in China even the Garlic.
Yes Bill, we are living through the end of the world as we knew it. America and Europe are failing, as China gets stronger, and all the kings horses, and all the kings men, will never put the world as we knew it, back as it was again...which may not be such a bad thing.

Sure looks like capitalism is hurting the country.
