Sadly, we’re officially marking the end of summer with it being Labor Day weekend. The bad news is that the days will be getting shorter, but the good news is that football and fall weather for most of my readers is back. Also, we’re going to have nothing less than a total spectacle upcoming in the U.S. with the November election fast approaching and the first debate less than two weeks away.
Speaking of which this past week I wrote about what can only be described as the policy desperation of Kamala Harris, who now wants us to believe she wants to build a border wall? Give me a break.
The Policy Desperation Of Kamala Harris

This past week I also updated my paid subscribers on the stocks I’m watching for the year and my general take on markets right now. The yen carry trade chaos looked like it was going to break markets permanently a couple of weeks ago, and now here we are, back near highs with "the world‘s most important stock" (and my top contender for a black swan) Nvidia, once again beating earnings expectations.
What does it all mean? I lay it out in my latest market update:
Trading The Shit Show: September 2024 Market Review
Also this past week I published an exclusive interview with economist Peter Schiff who laid out in detail why Kamala Harris’ economic policies would destroy the United States:
Peter Schiff Exclusive: Kamala Harris' Socialist Policies & The Crisis Ahead
I also published “This is Not Capitalism” by Brownstone’s Jeffrey Tucker - a great read on the use and abuse of the term ‘capitalism’ to describe a system that is anything but:
This Is Not Capitalism
Also last week I wrote about how Kamala Harris’ proposed unrealized gains tax would absolutely obliterate the U.S. economy:
Taxing Unrealized Gains Would Obliterate The U.S. Economy
And predicted last week that RFK Jr. would endorse Donald Trump. I laid out why RFK Jr. could actually save liberalism with his endorsement of Trump:
RFK Jr. Can Save Liberalism...By Endorsing Trump
And despite my generally bearish outlook, I wrote about 3 technology stocks that are a bit outside my “defensive” market outlook right now, that I would dabble in:
3 Tech Stocks That Don't Suck Ass
Finally, last week I also blew the roof off of Kamala Harris’ idiotic pivot to cancelling taxes on tips — an idea that exposes her as a flip flopper since her very own IRS instituted a policy in 2023 to try and collect more tips from service workers:
Tip Tax Toe
