Why Big Government Doesn't Work

In an economy dominated by the government, the ruling class fulfills its ambitions by serving faithful constituencies at the expense of others. It tries to address its failures by increasing control, which reduces wealth even further, in a downward spiral. It’s not in the nature of government to abandon failed...

Breakout in Non Ferrous Metals

The Positive Relationship Between Short Term Rates and the Dollar Index

I wanted to highlight a few quick recent charts of how the US Dollar Index positively correlates (moves in the same direction) with the 3-month Treasury Bill Discount Rate. It's not the most fascinating topic, but it's definitely important to know of this relationship, so let's take a look at...

A Second SPY Intraday Triangle Forms March 12

If you've been lulled to sleep by the recent intraday market action, don't fret.
