It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Inflation is supposed to be at 2% by now, and jobs should be plentiful in America, yet the latest data reveals growing cracks in the foundation. Why is the Federal Reserve’s election year plan failing miserably?

At first, the Federal Reserve’s “jumbo” 50-basis-point interest-rate cut from September was well received by the financial markets. Now that some time has passed, however, the central bankers’ decision to pivot so aggressively is being widely re-evaluated as a potential policy error.

As much as I talk about the importance of holding gold, let’s not overlook its less expensive counterpart, silver. When gold moves, silver tends to move faster and this should be perfectly fine with volatility-tolerant investors.

It’s not an “I told you so” moment, but just a confirmation of the power of patience. If you invested in gold and uranium assets years ago, you’d be doing well today. However, there are still more gains ahead of us than behind us.

Have you ever noticed that when someone repeatedly insists there’s not a problem, usually it means there’s a problem? A case in point is Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who is desperate to convince you that the central bank isn’t playing catch-up after years of policy errors.

It wouldn’t help Kamala Harris to win any popularity contests if she stated outright that she’s against cryptocurrency. Yet, at least we would know where she stands on Bitcoin.

Will aggressive interest-rate cuts prompt an inflation spike? It’s possible, so I hope you have some inflation-resistant assets in your portfolio. Gold is great for this purpose, but it’s also not a bad idea to buy some Bitcoin if you don’t already have some.

Different candidates have different approaches to funding America’s social programs. One approach is to take more earned money from people and businesses, and evidently vice president and current presidential candidate Kamala Harris is prepared to enforce this wealth redistribution strategy.

Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha and the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, turned 94 on Friday. His presence is taken for granted, as during our lifetime, he’s always been around to guide us through economic ups and downs.

Some investors perceive Bitcoin as risk-on and gold as risk-off. This is a mischaracterization, however. Bitcoin and gold are actually quite similar and are necessary during a time when the Federal Reserve is about to embark on an interest rate cutting cycle.

How can anyone possibly navigate a market that’s turbulent one day and ecstatic the next? What should investors do with all of the mixed signals and information overload? The simplest solution is usually the best one, and it involves filtering out a lot of the noise.

Could the 2024 presidential election be decided by cryptocurrency supporters? It’s entirely possible as November 5 draws near and just a handful of votes might decide whether the winner is Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.

The Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, is about to turn 94 and he has a lifetime of experience to share with investors around the world. So, if the Berkshire Hathaway CEO is hoarding huge quantities of cash, you might want to re-examine your own holdings now.

It was inevitable, and now it’s official. Joe Biden is exiting the presidential race, leaving the door open for the Democratic Party to select another candidate to run against Donald Trump.
