Will the Black Swan Usher in Digital Dollars?

March 15, 2023 By E.J. Smith

What’s most disturbing about a black swan event is how it affects the rest of us. What will this non-bailout, bailout of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature usher in? Will we have a new way of banking where the Fed gets to call the shots? Will digital dollars be their way to control us? Because it’s times like these when those in power usher in change in the name of following “the science.” Will this give them the extra inch they need to tell us that currency digitization is for our “protection?” One thing’s for sure, we’re not going back to the way life was. Sitting in my cave, it never … [Read more...]

(Read 4 Life Changing Words for Your Survival Guy: “You Should Try This” - Your Survival Guy). Your Survival Guy knows what you’re dealing with.

UK Takes Aim at the Cryptocurrency Industry

February 3, 2023 By Jeremy Jones, CFA

The United Kingdom has unveiled sweeping new regulations for the cryptocurrency industry. Scott Chipolina reports in the Financial Times: The UK has set out a sweeping new regulatory regime for the cryptocurrency industry that aims to bring the rules governing the issuance, trading and lending of crypto tokens closely into line with those for traditional financial assets such as stocks and bonds. The proposals to “robustly” regulate the sector, which are subject to a consultation, are the clearest sign yet that the government is determined to transform the UK into a hub for the crypto … [Read more...]

China Reopening Drives Gold Prices Higher

January 11, 2023 By Jeremy Jones, CFA

The reopening of the Chinese economy after draconian COVID lockdowns is pushing gold prices higher, report Myra Saefong and Joseph Adinolfi in MarketWatch: Gold futures touched a fresh eight-month high Wednesday as traders bet that China’s decision to drop COVID-19 restrictions on its economy would continue to boost prices of precious and industrial metals.

How Your Survival Guy Feels About Digital Dollars

December 14, 2022 By E.J. Smith

My client told me yesterday that years ago, he and his wife traveled from Alaska back to his childhood home to accept an award for excellence in dentistry. Home for him was LA—not that LA—Shreveport. The ceremony was in New Orleans. The plan was to borrow one of his sister’s cars in Shreveport and drive to New Orleans. Before they drove off, he asked his buddy if he needed anything. “Would you mind picking up some alligator meat?” he asked. “No problem.” Driving home from New Orleans, they took a left into the swamp, walked into the store, and said he was there to pick up alligator … [Read more...]

December 9, 2022 By E.J. Smith

After the catastrophic collapse of the world's second largest cryptocurrency exchange, FTX, the SEC's Chairman, Gary Gensler, has signaled that his commission will be taking a harder line on cryptocurrency exchanges, tokens, hedge funds, and broker-dealers. Gensler made the comments about cryptocurrencies in an interview with Yahoo! Finance.

CRYPTO CHARLATANS: Investors Lulled to Sleep by Celebrities, Influencers

November 21, 2022 By E.J. Smith

Investors in cryptocurrency on the FTX exchange weren't just taken in by the celebrities they saw pitching it to them during the Super Bowl. There were self-styled "financial influencers" who also pushed crypto onto unsuspecting investors eager to beat the zero-interest rate environment. Despite Tom Brady's endorsement of FTX, investing is supposed to be boring, not run like a fantasy football team. Listen to what crypto buyers interviewed by The Wall Street Journal have to say about their involvement with FTX: “My blood is boiling,” said Matthew Way, a fundraiser for an Illinois orchestra … [Read more...]

Remember This from FTX Bankruptcy and You Can Thank Yourself Later

November 18, 2022 By E.J. Smith

The fall of crypto exchange FTX is a brutal lesson in fear and greed. Not the fear of losing but the fear of missing out or FOMO. FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBM) said this on the podcast “Odd Lots” describing how venture capitalists pick investments (highlighted by Jason Zweig in his WSJ column the “Intelligent Investor”): You get a bizarre f—ing process that does not look like the paragon of efficient markets that you might expect. [Venture capitalists] see what all their friends are chattering about, and their friends keep talking about this company…and they start FOMOing [feeling the … [Read more...]
