As one part of its initial response to the latest tariffs imposed/threatened by President Trump, China has itself threatened it could retaliate by "dumping" its stash of U.S. Treasury debt (it owns about 5% of the total debt outstanding.) This, of course, gives rise to a new wave of warnings…
(From the April 15, 2019 Issue) -- I put "Debate" in quotes above since what you are hearing on this suddenly-HOT issue is, for the most part, just another scripted and canned one delivered to us by the Establishment and its two kept political parties. As I explain, there could…

(Thursday morning, Dec. 20, 2018) -- As I said on YESTERDAY'S MARKET CLOSE wrapping up a Fed statement (and Jay Powell presser) that clearly did NOT put the markets in a Christmas spirit, it's not as if the Fed chair didn't deliver what he thought was a fairly "dovish" rate hike. Indeed, Powell went to some…
