The chief causes of America’s malaise were largely ignored. As we predicted, after only four months, Elon Musk is already out of the picture. So are the budget cuts needed to bring the deficit down.
🤔”The chief causes of America’s malaise were largely ignored.” Exactly Bill, and it’s called the Democratic Party, with all the insanity it has created these past few decades. Just one example. Prove to me how inviting 20 million illegals, along with the hundreds of billions in cost and crime has worked for America? I have many dozens of other insane, America destroying democrat policies(as we witness in every democrat city), but let’s focus on just this one and please respond with any logical explanation, then maybe we can move onto Trump 🤔
‘He’s finished, done, gone. He polls terribly. People hate him.’ Bill's lead quote about Elon Musk
It doesn't surprise me that it's lost upon Bill that as a "Temporary Government Employee", (that can only be employed for about 120 days) Musk had to be replaced because his statutorily defined term of service ended. Musk leaving didn't have anything to do with polls or what people think of him. The BS flows from Bill's keyboard like sh!t through a goose.
It's amazing that Bill thinks there is an ounce of credibility in Politico. I haven't talked to anyone who hates Elon. He accomplished an incredible job of disclosing the corruption of NGOs and the various Democrat schemes to steal money from the people for Democrat benefit. In fact I haven't seen anything during Biden's, Obama's terms that weren't schemes to steal from Americans to support themselves. Trump needs to prosecute these traitors that Bill calls collaborative Democratists. That's the biggest pile of stinking manure I can think of.
Yes my brother who is conservative in the past cannot stand anything with Trump. He make absurd statements. I can only think he has TDS. Thanks mainstream media for all the lies. Hard to imagine how America can ever survive with MSM telling lies.
Did we really get anything better under Republican leadership? In the 1970s through the 1990s Congress consistently passed budgets on time. The idea of separation of powers has been lost, along with term limits. The US is producing homelessness at approximately a million a year. Congressman Darrell Issa said our poor are "better off" than other countries poor. Perhaps he has forgotten that they are US citizens and he has an obligation to insure that this is not systemic.
I would also suggest that the Republican party today has nothing in common with the party of the 1960s - 2000. Fiscal responsibility is a long forgotten memory.
From a fiscal standpoint, there hasn't been much difference. But as a fellow poster brilliantly pointed out last week, both sides have their wackos (the word he actually used is escaping me at the moment). The difference is that the wackos on one side love America, want it's borders to be secure, doesn't want to tax the citizenry into oblivion and isn't willing to do anything to stay in power. Oh yeah, and they don't want men to compete against women in sports or occupy women's spaces.
The other side's wackos are willing to imprison political opponents simply for disagreeing with them, they hate America, and would love for the entire third world to walk across our borders (so they will become permanently dependent on government benefits). Oh, and don't mind men dressing up as women to access women's spaces and dominate them on athletic fields and courts. As a play on Orwell's famous last words in "Animal Farm", some wackos are better than other wackos.
Yes brother Dave, the word is LUNATIC. LUN, as in the demented Democrat constituent. A TIC for those blood sucking democrats in power that leach on to a human, suck out their blood, and cause all sorts of diseases.
Another truth of the TICs my brother is something you need to understand yourself. Treasury International Capital or the true TIC is not known to the sheep. Please pass it on, even if it will effect your life
The illegals are the cause of the deficits accumulated under both parties since the 1970’s…Trump had a trillion dollar deficit in 2019 and added 7 more trillion after the pandemic…all this went to illegals
As much as I’d like to agree with that, EID, I don’t believe it’s quite accurate. A large portion of the overspending went to illegal invaders for certain, but our government pissed away much larger amounts on much more dangerous/criminal things. Theft, Cronyism and Nepotism come to mind…
Wow. Wrong again Mr Bill. The Canadians are selling oil to China because Biden shut down the XL pipeline. Let’s just recap some of the disastrous policies implemented by Democrats starting even before Obama.
1) everyone should own a house.
2) Obamacare - if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.
3) student loans - only a moron would loan more than $10 to an 18 year old.
And of course all of Biden’s crap (or someone’s) like inflation, open borders, Afghanistan, etc. al.
I don’t disagree Trump uses too many ad hominem attacks and too much hyperbole.
But the pipeline goes all way back to Obama and became just one more stupid attack on fossil fuels. As to tariffs, we have a CLOSED border and our neighbors helping keep it closed. If you want to attack Trump, remember we did just fine with him the first time so back off. If you want to defend Biden, I can’t help you.
Now we’re finding out from the leader of the FBI which border the majority of drugs and illegals are currently coming across. I’m not blaming the Canadian people necessarily, I am blaming their deplorable, leftist, communist-lite government. Very similar to how I wish the rest of the world would see America after all our nefarious and deadly BS over the last 50 years…
Good point. As we look at countries around the world today we can see that if you want your government to give you everything then it needs to TAKE everything first.
And maybe….. maybe….. they’ll give back half (?). And be sure to give them all your guns!
Have a great day as Republicans quibble over trivialities and get very little done.
Lo, and it was written in the scroll of forgotten empires, when a nation turns its temples into debt casinos and worships TikTok algorithms over the Ten Commandments, the horsemen do not ride, they Uber in. Behold America, stumbling blind into her own Book of Revelations, dragged behind a Trojan Horse so big and hollow it echoes like a Woke think tank on open mic night. And what did the people do? Why, they pulled it right into the gates themselves shouting, “Diversity is our strength!” as the doors creaked open and out poured the termites of decline.
Meanwhile, Trump rides in not on a donkey, nor an elephant, but a Qatar funded bird jet steed, forged in gold and blessed by CEOs who sweat olive oil and cry rare earth minerals. Forget the Air Force, this is Sky Deity One now. And while the fake prophets of Wall Street chant the praises of Buffett, Zuck, and that Microsoft ghost, here comes Trump, a financial warlord with the Twitter fingers of Goliath and the hair of Samson, slaying globalists with nothing but tariffs and swagger.
And what of the pale riders of the press? Hissing like vipers in a desert of lies, they declare, “Musk is finished.” Haha! Elon Musk is not a man, he is a divine algorithm wrapped in flesh, sent to terra-form Mars and bulldoze bureaucracy. They say he polls poorly? That’s like polling Noah during a drought. Wait till the flood hits. When the ark lifts off, only two creatures will be aboard, Trump in the cockpit, and Musk launching the escape thrusters.
And what of America? She walks like Babylon in a Walmart bathrobe, drunk, debt-ridden, and demanding a fourth stimulus before brunch. The sacred cows of democracy graze peacefully, unaware they’re standing on the altar. And who lights the match? The very voters who think governance means choosing between two brands of the same snake oil.
But cometh the hour, cometh the Trump. Not a politician, but a Revelation in real estate. The walls of Jericho didn’t fall this loud. The red hat is the new crown, and the tower rises again. Argentina chose Milei. America? We chose the fire. And the fire chose Trump.
Perhaps the commenters who believe Bill suffers from TDS could explain where he is wrong about Trump. I myself suffer from PDS - Politicians Derangement Syndrome. I believe both sides are basically sociopathic crooks. Both parties got us in the situation we are in now. Even the great Ronnie Raygun increased the federal debt by close to $2 trillion. And the "conservative" Baby Bush by nearly $6 trillion. Witness Trump's big, beautiful Bill in Congress now that calls for raising the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.
Now for a little humor: Trump meant to say: I'll end the Ukraine War one day. The Russians hacked his teleprompter and inserted "in". I'll end the war in one day.
Worshiping any Government (i.e. Statists) is pure, unadulterated Serf mentality writ large. Life outside the Statist Camp often resembles Custer at the Little Bighorn. Bummer we won't be around long enough to tell the Statist Collectivists: "I told you so!" :-)
Mr. Atomico, I used to think it was TDS, but I am beginning to believe that Bill's obsession with Pres. Trump is a huge distraction to avoid facing the reality of the financial situation the U.S. is in right now. For example, telling his readers how he would slash the federal budget, which he drones on and on about in very general terms, but he provides few if any specifics. How fast would he do it? And how many jobs does he estimate would be lost in the public and private U.S. economy if the federal budget were slashed?
I have read estimates by think tanks that about 25% of federal govt. spending ($1.68T of $6.75T) is to employ American workers, not just 3M federal workers, but an estimated total of 15M federal and contracted workers whose jobs depend on this spending. Now Congress, of course, would not have to eliminate all of these 15M workers to balance the budget, but I estimate that at least half of these jobs would have to be cut, which would cause a deep recession or depression because their job loss and thus reduction in spending would greatly impact many millions more American job holders who depend on these workers' spending. So you would see a job-loss contagion of sorts, and be looking at the unemployment rate jumping to 10%-15%, which would be political suicide for either party. And Bill would then be attacked as being a heartless billionaire who can easily survive a nightmare like this while millions of Americans suffer. So I think that's why he is very short on details, sticking endlessly to generalizations. And, of course, Bill would have to be suffering from the Biden-Pelosi disease if he doesn't know about this matter. So he certainly does, and doesn't want the blowback if he gets too specific. And he also knows this budget/job slashing will not occur. Period! So he's just grandstanding, just like Sen. Paul & Rep. Massie, to try to convince his readers what a noble fellow he is (at least theoretically, certainly NOT realistically).
So folks can call Pres. Trump or the present Congress lots of names, but the brutal truth is that substantial budget cutting, unless done very gradually over a decade or two, is political suicide. A majority of the American people need to be blamed for this mess, not just the presidents and Congresses during the 21st Century. There are too many Americans who are too soft to make the sacrifices necessary to turn things around, and have been incredibly ignorant or uncaring about how their country's govt. spends money, especially during the 21st Century. So lots of blame to go around.
Thank you Frank for stating facts! I believe we are witnessing the deliberate destruction of America and the West. Brilliant planning and execution from the globalist communist regimes. Many nations are fighting back but the assault from the controlled media is unprecedented. Unfortunately you need logic and reason to see what is happening, which too many people lack, especially the generationally ignorant left in America. I also believe our host no longer writes the majority of nonsense we have been reading this past year. Bill is enjoying his life while his leftist ghostwriter does his work.
Yup. Ten will get you 50 it is a female, white, 30-45 years old and Godless. Family? Probably not. More likely the daughter or granddaughter of one of Bill’s MANY “former” spook buddies or employees….
Why do you believe Massie is grandstanding? Do you think his opposition to the Big, Beautiful Bill is just a facade for personal gain? Or the fact that he refuses AIPAC money? Wouldn't it be easier just to go along and reap the financial benefits of cooperating with those in charge? Look at all the money Obama made giving speeches to the Banksters for bailing them out instead of prosecuting them.
Mr. Atomico, To me, grandstanding pertaining to a member of Congress is when the member knows that his or her opposition vote will not tank the legislation. So he or she votes symbolically, trying to convince folks how virtuous he or she is by sticking to his or her "principles." That's why I believe Rep. Massie and Sen. Paul are grandstanding about their opposition to Pres. Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. They know all the other 271 GOP reps and senators, as well as many of their constituents, are not happy with certain pieces of the legislation, but they are facing reality and voting for it because they believe most of the pieces will help the American people and American businesses.
They actually believe this bill will help most Americans? Looks like another Smash and Grab operation. More debt until the system collapses. More proof that both parties are essentially the same except for some issues on the edges to keep the serfs fighting among their selves. More proof that Trump's friend Larry Fink was right when he said it didn't matter who won the election.
The BNB Network (Bad News Bonner) strikes again. He begins with a comparison of Argentina and the USA as if the needs and histories of the two countries are the same, and therefore their respective policies should be the same.... ridiculous. Then without even realizing it, he quotes a John Dienner who recounts Argentina's recent history which is nothing like the USA's. Immediately following is an idiotic quote from Reuters that states that Trump has threatened to annex Canada... threatened? It all goes downhill from there as Bonner uses carefully selected info to support his ludicrous arguments while ignoring any facts that don't.
Well, we get it. Bonner needs to get his shots in now and not give Trump's policies a chance to work. Granted, it is more chaotic than it probably needs to be, and Trump has to navigate all the political fallout and backlash resisting any changes and reduction of government spending and waste. I think some of the chaos is intentional to keep the Democrats from controlling the narrative, instead having them reacting to his policies. Instead, he's controlling the narrative. He doesn't have an easy task, and he cannot wave a magic wand and get everything done that he would like. I definitely would push it to the limit, but that's easier said than done. But with so many things that need to be fixed, the process is not going to be a pretty sight. One would expect that Bonner would give us a balanced, logical, and fair assessment of what is going on instead of his daily rants.
Bill has apparently contracted TDS. Instead of bashing the Democrats and the rouge judges, he gets on the only good thing that’s happened in the last 4 years.
I think he’s trying to get on the good side of the leaders down there.
If it weren’t for the investment stuff I get from here , I’d have turned this constant BS off.
Speaking of bashing politicians, what is your opinion of Trump bashing Congressman Massie because he won't get on board with Donnie's Big Beautiful Bill? Massie is a highly rated conservative and one of the few politicians not controlled by a foreign government entity - AIPAC. I'm still waiting for someone to demonstrate how Bill is wrong about Trump.
BB doesn’t limit the causes to Biden’s shadow admin, those causes go back decades to 1913, Wilson, Roosevelt, and most of the successive admins, lobbyists, and so-called intellectuals.
And once again a bar brawl breaks out in these comments, between patriotic Americans who dislike each other.....meanwhile un-noticed, gold has resumed its rise, PRC has slipped to the third-largest holder of Treasuries behind Japan and UK, and Moody's has finally downgraded the trust investors should hold in the USA.
I sit off to one side, calmly sipping my suds, and throwing an anonymous chair into the melee when it calms down a little.
Just enjoying the show, from the calm and plenty of bolthole Sarawak.
I have been reading and following Bill for about 20 years I think. I have read most of his books. Bill is a couple of years older than me. I been in business for 50+ years, and I agree with Bill's assessments and beliefs about 90% of the time. I just want to give kudos to all of you plus all of the others who have gone on to success after getting started with him. (I subscribe to some of them also) The kudos are because you guys do so well putting up with so many of your moronic readers that think their opinions actually mean something and that they are correct. Instead of taking really good advice they choose to blame the democrats or something else. I have more money than I need, and I have a strong marriage of 50 years with successful children. My investment portfolio matches your suggestions, and I am very comfortable with it. I sleep very well at night. Thank you for all that the Bonner Research team does.
It behooves those of us less comfortable to pay attention to events, logically and critically evaluate them, then identify whom is responsible (good or bad) and subsequently support or oppose according to each individual’s preferences. AND call out Stupid and Dangerous when we see it- sorry/not sorry this disturbs you. Unfortunately,, we can’t all sit on the beach, the boat and/or the golf course and reflect on how good we have it. So the “moronic” readers you disagree with from your perch have quite a bit more immediate skin in the game….
Bill, I would suggest that you guys at Bonner Private Research consider: (1) eliminating the Comments portion of the site, or (2) screening out ridiculous, mean and toxic comments. For example, for today: Steve L, Angry Icebergs, Homer Bell, and Richard Kris have had nothing better to do than put forth toxic, thoughtless nonsense. We don't need this on your site.
I'm not remotely interested in a censorship driven echo chamber. As an individual you can exercise your own censorship without impacting the community at large. Collectivism is antithetical to the pillars of classical liberalism from which America was built upon. Hard no from me, and I would wager Bill Bonner would take the same stance.
Yes Bob, another Boob with a really demented idea! Let’s silence the truth and keep spewing the insane, delusional, demented rhetoric from you most intellectually pathetic fools, or the New Democratic Socialist Party🤔. I guess your news source, CNN and MSNBC put forth the most thoughtful, logical information you can rely on, and that is what makes you the useful idiot you are. And please Boob, any other foolish thoughts that come to mind, please keep them to yourself. “ It’s better to be silent and thought the fool, than to speak and remove all doubt”🤔
Written like a true Democrat. All ideas one does not agree with are ridiculous, mean, and toxic, or thoughtless. If this were true, everyone could discern this for themselves and counter with better arguments or just ignore the comments you don't like. Ah, but that would mean the comments get posted and you wouldn't like that, would you? You need to shut down all opposing opinions completely so they don't see the light of day and therefore only your ideas and those that think like you can be read. 1984 anyone?
JG: You sound like you're talking to your fellow republicans. Always name calling any Democrat. Your nasty statements seem to overlook any of Trump's faults. I'll be happy to reiterate them for you. Nothing like what you are all making him look like the next "coming" who will save the world!
None of us are doing that Dottie, and we have no problem calling Trump and the rest of them out when they make mistakes, which is quite frequently. The dim communists on the other hand must all get in line like a bunch of lemmings or they get canceled. To make matters worse, y’all’s ideas are Stupid and the vast majority of policies you freaks endorse have already been proven not to work. So stop already with the equivocating, it is completely delusional. A group that endorses killing unborn babies, mutilating young children and letting the entire third world walk freely into our country and then picking up the tab for all their living expenses is not lin any way equal to even the worst Republican out there. …
SE: No one equivocates more than you. And you don't think some or most of Trump's ideas are rational and not stupid? If you would take the time to read the facts maybe something would penetrate that thick skull of yours. All you do is cherry pick.
Bill: If you think my comments are toxic, reread all the comments from the rest of the republicans and on this blog. But I doubt no one will admit it. I wouldn't trust him , Trump, to "walk my great great grandmother across the street."
This doom and gloom bullshit sells newsletters. These guys have no clue as to what makes markets work but they do know how to write and how to sell letters.
Even insulting their own customers works for them.
Bill, you were correct in that America has not anyway near hit the desperation that Argentina experienced, and thus we are not ready for Milei's type of reforms. Trump has moved way "out of the box" with his actions, but it's not anywhere near as extreme. We have an entirely different situation now, but if Trump's plans don't work out we will eventually be in the same type of terrible shape as Argentina. Everyone should pray that he is on the correct path for the conditions that he inherited. We must have sustained large growth in our economy, and cut programs too.
🤔”The chief causes of America’s malaise were largely ignored.” Exactly Bill, and it’s called the Democratic Party, with all the insanity it has created these past few decades. Just one example. Prove to me how inviting 20 million illegals, along with the hundreds of billions in cost and crime has worked for America?

Democraps like Bill are the only tools that hate Elon.
I find it hard to believe Bill is so antagonistic to Trump when his BPR is to save one's savings.
Exactly Mac, just one more example of TDS and how it goes against all logic and reason 🤔
Yes my brother who is conservative in the past cannot stand anything with Trump. He make absurd statements. I can only think he has TDS. Thanks mainstream media for all the lies. Hard to imagine how America can ever survive with MSM telling lies.

Watch out Dave, too much truth is hazardous in this world.
Yes brother Dave, the word is LUNATIC. LUN, as in the demented Democrat constituent. A TIC for those blood sucking democrats in power that leach on to a human, suck out their blood, and cause all sorts of diseases.
Thanks for refreshing my memory. Lunatic is far better than wacko. I loved that post.
Another truth of the TICs my brother is something you need to understand yourself. Treasury International Capital or the true TIC is not known to the sheep. Please pass it on, even if it will effect your life
I made almost the EXACT same post before I read yours.
Uncanny, brother…
Yes Steve, the horrible truth is, America hasn't had a True "Republican" President since President Eisenhower.
Those who followed were either past democrats or RINOs.
Just a little fact:)
They are both on the same side and you are not in the club.
~~~THIS~~~
Yet there are major differences in Policy and Action…
The illegals are the cause of the deficits accumulated under both parties since the 1970’s…Trump had a trillion dollar deficit in 2019 and added 7 more trillion after the pandemic…all this went to illegals

Stop confusing Bonner with the facts.
Richard
I wish everyone in the U.S. thought the same way you do
At least you have one AP
Calling Canada the nastiest country and threatening to annex and the miserable tariffs are the reason Canada is looking for other markets…Xl was 2020.
I don’t disagree Trump uses too many ad hominem attacks and too much hyperbole.
But the pipeline goes all way back to Obama and became just one more stupid attack on fossil fuels. As to tariffs, we have a CLOSED border and our neighbors helping keep it closed.

Many nations are fighting back but the assault from the controlled media is unprecedented. Unfortunately you need logic and reason to see what is happening, which too many people lack, especially the generationally ignorant left in America. I also believe our host no longer writes the majority of nonsense we have been reading this past year. Bill is enjoying his life while his leftist ghostwriter does his work.
Yup. Ten will get you 50 it is a female, white, 30-45 years old and Godless. Family? Probably not. More likely the daughter or granddaughter of one of Bill’s MANY “former” spook buddies or employees….
Mr. L, You could very well have nailed it. You have to wonder if the mid-to-late seventies Bill really does write 240-245 essays each year.
Of course not Frank!
Why do you believe Massie is grandstanding? Do you think his opposition to the Big, Beautiful Bill is just a facade for personal gain? Or the fact that he refuses AIPAC money? Wouldn't it be easier just to go along and reap the financial benefits of cooperating with those in charge? Look at all the money Obama made giving speeches to the Banksters for bailing them out instead of prosecuting them.
Mr. Atomico, To me, grandstanding pertaining to a member of Congress is when the member knows that his or her opposition vote will not tank the legislation. So he or she votes symbolically, trying to convince folks how virtuous he or she is by sticking to his or her "principles." That's why I believe Rep. Massie and Sen. Paul are grandstanding about their opposition to Pres. Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. They know all the other 271 GOP reps and senators, as well as many of their constituents, are not happy with certain pieces of the legislation, but they are facing reality and voting for it because they believe most of the pieces will help the American people and American businesses.
Again, thank you Frank🙏
They actually believe this bill will help most Americans? Looks like another Smash and Grab operation. More debt until the system collapses. More proof that both parties are essentially the same except for some issues on the edges to keep the serfs fighting among their selves. More proof that Trump's friend Larry Fink was right when he said it didn't matter who won the election.
I believe Reagan tripled the deficit. He said all the right things But at the end he governed like a fool
But Trump - not even the Arab nations care about Palestine anymore; Trump does.
Europe is totally unable to handle a Russian incursion Trump is trying.
His deal for rare earths is genius.
We know his tariffs are a strategic effort to make fairer to the U. S.
Let’s see what happens.
the Arab nations all loathe each other & have done for decades
Bill, it always amazes me how many members of the Trumplican cult, formerly the Republican
Party, still read your stuff. And then make strange comments.
That's because people with different views are not the enemy. We all learn from each other!
The BNB Network (Bad News Bonner) strikes again. He begins with a comparison of Argentina and the USA as if the needs and histories of the two countries are the same, and therefore their respective policies should be the same.... ridiculous. Then without even realizing it, he quotes a John Dienner who recounts Argentina's recent history which is nothing like the USA's. Immediately following is an idiotic quote from Reuters that states that Trump has threatened to annex Canada... threatened? It all goes downhill from there as Bonner uses carefully selected info to support his ludicrous arguments while ignoring any facts that don't.
Well, we get it. Bonner needs to get his shots in now and not give Trump's policies a chance to work. Granted, it is more chaotic than it probably needs to be, and Trump has to navigate all the political fallout and backlash resisting any changes and reduction of government spending and waste. I think some of the chaos is intentional to keep the Democrats from controlling the narrative, instead having them reacting to his policies. Instead, he's controlling the narrative. He doesn't have an easy task, and he cannot wave a magic wand and get everything done that he would like. I definitely would push it to the limit, but that's easier said than done. But with so many things that need to be fixed, the process is not going to be a pretty sight. One would expect that Bonner would give us a balanced, logical, and fair assessment of what is going on instead of his daily rants.
Bill has apparently contracted TDS. Instead of bashing the Democrats and the rouge judges, he gets on the only good thing that’s happened in the last 4 years.
I think he’s trying to get on the good side of the leaders down there.
If it weren’t for the investment stuff I get from here , I’d have turned this constant BS off.

Speaking of bashing politicians, what is your opinion of Trump bashing Congressman Massie because he won't get on board with Donnie's Big Beautiful Bill? Massie is a highly rated conservative and one of the few politicians not controlled by a foreign government entity - AIPAC. I'm still waiting for someone to demonstrate how Bill is wrong about Trump.
"The chief causes of America’s malaise were largely ignored" is Mr. Bonner referring to the Biden Administration?
BB doesn’t limit the causes to Biden’s shadow admin, those causes go back decades to 1913, Wilson, Roosevelt, and most of the successive admins, lobbyists, and so-called intellectuals.
And once again a bar brawl breaks out in these comments, between patriotic Americans who dislike each other.....meanwhile un-noticed, gold has resumed its rise, PRC has slipped to the third-largest holder of Treasuries behind Japan and UK, and Moody's has finally downgraded the trust investors should hold in the USA.
I sit off to one side, calmly sipping my suds, and throwing an anonymous chair into the melee when it calms down a little.
Just enjoying the show, from the calm and plenty of bolthole Sarawak.

I have been reading and following Bill for about 20 years I think. I have read most of his books. Bill is a couple of years older than me. I been in business for 50+ years, and I agree with Bill's assessments and beliefs about 90% of the time. I just want to give kudos to all of you plus all of the others who have gone on to success after getting started with him. (I subscribe to some of them also) The kudos are because you guys do so well putting up with so many of your moronic readers that think their opinions actually mean something and that they are correct. Instead of taking really good advice they choose to blame the democrats or something else. I have more money than I need, and I have a strong marriage of 50 years with successful children. My investment portfolio matches your suggestions, and I am very comfortable with it. I sleep very well at night. Thank you for all that the Bonner Research team does.
Very happy for you, Mr. Echols.
It behooves those of us less comfortable to pay attention to events, logically and critically evaluate them, then identify whom is responsible (good or bad) and subsequently support or oppose according to each individual’s preferences. AND call out Stupid and Dangerous when we see it- sorry/not sorry this disturbs you. Unfortunately,, we can’t all sit on the beach, the boat and/or the golf course and reflect on how good we have it. So the “moronic” readers you disagree with from your perch have quite a bit more immediate skin in the game….
Bill, I would suggest that you guys at Bonner Private Research consider: (1) eliminating the Comments portion of the site, or (2) screening out ridiculous, mean and toxic comments. For example, for today: Steve L, Angry Icebergs, Homer Bell, and Richard Kris have had nothing better to do than put forth toxic, thoughtless nonsense. We don't need this on your site.
If you disagree with the comment come up with a coherent counter. Cancelling or censorship is not the way to go.
I'm not remotely interested in a censorship driven echo chamber. As an individual you can exercise your own censorship without impacting the community at large. Collectivism is antithetical to the pillars of classical liberalism from which America was built upon. Hard no from me, and I would wager Bill Bonner would take the same stance.
Naw, keep ‘em. If I were a standup comic, I’d use some of their “material.”
Yes Bob, another Boob with a really demented idea! Let’s silence the truth and keep spewing the insane, delusional, demented rhetoric from you most intellectually pathetic fools, or the New Democratic Socialist Party🤔. I guess your news source, CNN and MSNBC put forth the most thoughtful, logical information you can rely on, and that is what makes you the useful idiot you are. And please Boob, any other foolish thoughts that come to mind, please keep them to yourself. “ It’s better to be silent and thought the fool, than to speak and remove all doubt”🤔
Too late Steve, he already opened his yap and removed all doubt.
These idiots don’t realize the demented/globalist Cancel Culture ended with the senile/corrupt Biden disaster.
I wish it were so Steve, unfortunately communist’s are like zombies, they never die off unless…..
Written like a true Democrat. All ideas one does not agree with are ridiculous, mean, and toxic, or thoughtless. If this were true, everyone could discern this for themselves and counter with better arguments or just ignore the comments you don't like. Ah, but that would mean the comments get posted and you wouldn't like that, would you? You need to shut down all opposing opinions completely so they don't see the light of day and therefore only your ideas and those that think like you can be read. 1984 anyone?
JG: You sound like you're talking to your fellow republicans. Always name calling any Democrat. Your nasty statements seem to overlook any of Trump's faults. I'll be happy to reiterate them for you. Nothing like what you are all making him look like the next "coming" who will save the world!
None of us are doing that Dottie, and we have no problem calling Trump and the rest of them out when they make mistakes, which is quite frequently. The dim communists on the other hand must all get in line like a bunch of lemmings or they get canceled. To make matters worse, y’all’s ideas are Stupid and the vast majority of policies you freaks endorse have already been proven not to work. So stop already with the equivocating, it is completely delusional. A group that endorses killing unborn babies, mutilating young children and letting the entire third world walk freely into our country and then picking up the tab for all their living expenses is not lin any way equal to even the worst Republican out there. …
SE: No one equivocates more than you. And you don't think some or most of Trump's ideas are rational and not stupid? If you would take the time to read the facts maybe something would penetrate that thick skull of yours. All you do is cherry pick.
I see you’re still unbiased, Dorothy.
K: As are some of you!
Hey Bob, how about NO! Just don’t read’em if it gets your panties in a wad?
I have seen comments I disagree with. Never anything toxic, except maybe from Dorothy 😁.
If you wanted censored place to live or a safe place perhaps I am sure that you can find a better home.
Plaid pajamas are my favorite.... Make sure they're cotton and non toxic.
Bill: If you think my comments are toxic, reread all the comments from the rest of the republicans and on this blog. But I doubt no one will admit it. I wouldn't trust him , Trump, to "walk my great great grandmother across the street."
It is just your opinion mate, and you know what they say about them.
It is called free speech and here there are all views, if you don't like them then just scroll on by...
CD: Good advice!
lol
It sounds to me like Bill is more focused on destroying Trump than giving an honest evaluation of the entire situation... though I could be wrong.
You’re not
This doom and gloom bullshit sells newsletters. These guys have no clue as to what makes markets work but they do know how to write and how to sell letters.
Even insulting their own customers works for them.
Milei is crazy, Trump isn’t! Phew, that was close.
MW: Unfortunately, you have that backwards. But what can you expect from a Republican?
I see you’re still unbiased, Dorothy.
Bill, you were correct in that America has not anyway near hit the desperation that Argentina experienced, and thus we are not ready for Milei's type of reforms. Trump has moved way "out of the box" with his actions, but it's not anywhere near as extreme. We have an entirely different situation now, but if Trump's plans don't work out we will eventually be in the same type of terrible shape as Argentina. Everyone should pray that he is on the correct path for the conditions that he inherited. We must have sustained large growth in our economy, and cut programs too.
