“Just ask January 30, which’ll go down as the single worst session for precious metals of the modern era.”
As an active participant in both, I’m honored to have been part of the ancient era as well as Modern Times, in defference to a National Lampoon comic.
Beyond that, you’ve been spot on about this.
H-Man, you need to step back and take a big breath. We want intel about markets moving — short term, mid or long. You know that space better than anyone so just give it to us.
Sorry if I sound like an a-hole, the issues our Dear Leader mulls over in his weeklies and monthlies will likely have an outsized impact on our nesteggs.
+1. Keep doin’ what you’re doin’!
@hookandgo, Is this a serious comment? I’m a political scientist by training. This isn’t a day-trading site. And I’m not your financial advisor. You’re a long-time reader and I appreciate that, but every six or so months you leave a comment that sounds like it wasn’t well thought out and/or seems to pretend you’ve never read me before. This is one of those comments.
Also, and less delicately, what exactly are you talking about? I give you “intel about markets moving” every, single day and have for a decade with no days off for anything, ever.
If there’s one thing I absolutely cannot stand, it’s someone suggesting they want hot stock tips out of me or for me to pretend I’m their fiduciary. The former’s absurd, the latter’s illegal. If you want stock tips and formalized investment advice from random netizens, @hookandgo, head over to Reddit or “X.”
Jesus. Why do you folks make me be abrasive sometimes? I try so hard not to be that guy, but drive-by comments tantamount to “Just tell me where I can make 50% this week!” leave me no choice. If you don’t want to read and think — i.e., if your attention span is limited to 200 words — this ain’t the place for you.
Your frustration reminds me of a time when I’d get calls from high end production companies with an irate unit director saying they’re in Africa and the single battery included with their system has failed and I need to overnight them a battery to BFE immediately. Uhhh, ok?
Fine. But tell me where I can make 50% this week, will ya?
… this is a fantastic and incredibly valuable weekly imho…
H-Man, as you have often said, just go long with a long time horizon.
Take it easy H-man. We (most of us) get it. Relax and keep doing what you do. Don’t know what I would do without your commentary, your insights, and your unique ability to link them to markets.
Some? Of us read you to put some rationality and perspective into current (crazy) events.
Long time fan.
This type of post ranks 11/10, in my book. H is very good at writing daily, weekly and monthly about the intersection and crossover between global, political, economic, and social trends, changes and events with investing. In the short term, at least from how I see it, this market is completely unpredictable, given the loose cannon in the WH, and the range of potential outcomes is quite large over the next few years. In fact, I won’t be surprised if my portfolio ends up or ends down this year. Both outcomes seem plausible. Therefore, I am sticking with my current positions (not a stretch- I rarely make changes).
Longer term, I am really wondering about China. Post- Xi, if that country becomes a democracy and ousts the current authoritarian dictatorship, the US is going to face some serious economic competition. Then how do I feel about my portfolio? (Rhetorical question).
