It's Been a Long Cold War

The first chart, below, is the monthly timeframe of Frontline Ltd., the world's fourth largest oil tanker shipping company. As you can see, the stock has, overall, been dead money for nearly ten full years at this point.

People Used to Ask Each Other for Gas Money

The 1970s were essentially fifty years ago at this point, which means that the phenomenon of gas lines as well as the inflation at-large of that era are lost on most today. In fact, the monster hiding under the bed for a few decades now has been the de flationary bust scenario, more than anything else. As a minor, seemingly trivial bit of...

As various Fed heads begrudgingly accept the notion that inflation may not be nearly as transitory as they have been publicly stating, the next step in this process is that markets likely "squeeze" The Fed into eventually raising rates much, much, sooner than they want to (and many would argue they never want to raise rates again, anyway)....

Time for the Other CPI: The Chess Price Index

Each packet has cost $3.99 at my local grocery story for as long as I can remember...until two weeks ago when...

I Trust You'll Stay Onatopp of This Market

It may be just over twenty-five years old, but GoldenEye (1995) still feels like one of the better recent Bond films (or maybe I am just getting old).
