    Another day, another record for gold prices. Just sitting here at my desk, whipping up a tweet to comment on gold relative to stocks and bonds, and I look at my trading screen and there’s gold, surpassing a new high above $2,940.

    We are now just days away from Trump v2…In the weeks since DJT reclaimed his right to occupy the Oval Office, I and much of the rest of the economically cognizant world have been reading tea leaves and consulting our Ouija boards, trying to divine just where Trump will lead us all, based on his declared policies…If you’ve been reading Field Notes in the wake of the election, you’ll know that my primary concerns have been for the economy and the financial markets.

For many a moon now, I’ve been writing here and in my monthly Global Intelligence Letter that the oil market has a big move higher in its future.

    Another day, another sign—or five—that the illness is probably terminal. The mainstream financial press seems to be overlooking these signs, or at the very least lazy in not connecting the dots. Sort of like a doctor not commenting on a patient’s obesity, chain-smoking, addiction to chili-slathered bacon triple cheeseburgers, and the fact that the dude downs a 12 pack of Miller High Life and Redbull every day. No worries about that grapefruit-sized tumor in your lungs. Probably benign.

    War games. Every country plays them. Dark scenarios contemplating a range of risks—both likely and fantastical—to stress-test national defenses and gauge how a country might react. Basically, conspiracy-theorist fan-fiction meets Hollywood blockbuster screenwriter. By which I mean, these war-game reports can be fascinating reading and provide some insight into the shadowy corners of the world most of us never think about as we’re running from work to Becky’s dance recital.

The billionaire is Tim Draper. He. Is. Not. Wrong. Some will listen. Too many won’t. And when USD is in decline, those who won’t listen will suffer and struggle. In short: everyone should hold a minimum of 5% of their wealth in bitcoin. Everyone. Even retirees (and any https://t.co/l9Ushqabmv

This. It’s emblematic of what I began writing about 30 years ago at The Wall Street Journal. Retail investors always pull the wrong trigger at the wrong moment. They sell at bottom amid capitulation when they should be buying. They rush back in at the top when they should be

Trump on his drug pricing policy: “Drug prices will come down by much more really if you think,” Trump said. “But between 59 and 80 and I guess even 90 percent. We’re getting them down 60, 70, 80, 90 percent. But actually more than that if you think about it in a way,
