MARKET CALL: The Federal Open Mouth Committee

Nov 15, 2025 4 min read paid

We are surprised that the financial markets were surprised by the hawkish tone of remarks from Fed officials this past week. Collectively, a few participants on the Federal Open Mouth Committee pushed back against market expectations for an imminent rate cut, stressing that inflation is not yet under control and that monetary policy must remain restrictive. In prepared comments during his October 29 presser, Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated, "

Oct 16, 2025 4 min read paid

We first began writing about our Roaring 2020s scenario in 2020. So far, so good. Both the S&P 500 and the price of gold have been roaring ahead to new record highs this year (chart). We wouldn't be surprised if both hit 10,000 by the end of the decade. The stock price index and the gold price have exhibited an inverse cyclical correlation, but their

Jan 5, 2025 3 min read paid

The Q4-2024 earnings reporting season is about to start, led by the big banks. We expect that during their conference calls, company managements will discuss how AI may be starting to boost their productivity.
