Economic shocks
An old joke about economists has one posed a question; “How has the French revolution affected world economic growth?” The economists answered; “Too early to say” (lol). Well, it is not too early to say how covid affected global growth. It made the rich much, much richer and it is creating a new slave class.

An old friend reappears…Gregory Mannarino…..not because of his financial advice but because I like the cut of his jib.

As I have said before it is not my intention to offer financial advice but I like to follow what is happening because mammon rules the world. Gregory is entirely correct in what he says about the Central Banks and the Federal Reserve.

We had a taste of [a free society]. If you don’t know where to start, just start with the Constitution, that might give you an idea of what a free society is all about.” Paul noted that this “crackdown” could take the form of taxes.
