| The Speculative Merits of Common Stock Warrants |
| There are days, and this is one of them, when I feel like I'm preaching to
the choir about the profit potential of investing in common stock warrants.
It's a small choir of successful investors, but there are few people in the
pews paying attention to my sermon.
The granddaddy of investing in stock warrants was Sidney Fried, who died in
1992 at age 72. He was active from the 1950s to the 1970s, publishing a warrant
survey newsletter, "The RHM Warrant Survey", and writing many books aboSaturday, October 31, 2020 |

| Bitcoin ban expands across credit cards as big U.S. banks recoil |
| A growing number of big U.S. credit-card issuers are deciding they don’t want to finance a falling knife.
JPMorgan Chase & Co., Bank of America Corp., and Citigroup Inc. said they're halting purchases of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on their credit cards. JPMorgan, enacting the ban today, doesn't want the credit risk associated with the transactions, company spokeswoman Mary Jane Rogers said.
Bank of America started declining credit card transactions with known crypto exchanges on Friday. Tuesday, February 6, 2018 |

| On March 9, 2009, The Wall Street Journal’s Money and Investing section posed this ominous question: "How low can stocks go?" The stench of economic malaise was suffocating as the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) rounded off its fourth straight week of losses, and the S&P 500 touched below 700 for the first time in 13 years. Goldman Sachs cautioned the S&P could fall to 400, while CNBC’s Jim Cramer was busily calculating the stock valuations of the DJIA components based on balance sheet cash Tuesday, January 30, 2018 |

| Bond Market Bear Creating Gold Bull |
| Gold is climbing as bond yields rise and the dollar falls, over speculation that China is pulling back on buying US Treasuries and Japan signals it is winding down its quantitative easing program. Meanwhile, US debt continues to grow after the Republicans under President Trump pushed a trillion dollars worth of tax cuts through the Senate, that the Congressional Budget Office thinks will add $1.7 trillion to the deficit over the next decade.

| Big Gains for Silver in 2018 |
| We are finding a lot of support for our thesis that silver and gold will be on the rise in 2018. We firmly believe silver is going to surprise everyone in 2018 and be even more surprising throughout 2019. In order to achieve some of the lofty heights we believe are going to come into view over the next 2-3 years 2018 has to jump up somewhere around 20+%. To the crypto crowd that’s not even worth writing about, but with silver and gold we have something real, that is decentralized and off grid. TTuesday, January 2, 2018 |

Year of the POP
If you'd like to read "Year of the POP", I'm sure you can guess where it can be found. ;D
At the Speakeasy, we discuss things like bullion, bitcoin, bubbles, banking, and much much more. As I did in Nine, at the ninth anniversary of this blog, and back in May at the second anniversary of the new Speakeasy, I have started a new tradition of sharing samples from the Speakeasy here. For this one, I picked a fun post from back in August. It's about the coat-check room view oTuesday, January 2, 2018 |

| Central banks
exist for a single reason - to inflate the supply of paper currency.
They are a currency-creating and currency-inflating institution.
This serves two interest groups in the main. One is the fractional-reserve
banks that they regulate. The other is the government that created
them.
For the banks,
the alternative to a central bank is to be subject to the forces

| The Dumbest Dumb Money Finally Gets Suckered In - John Rubino |
| Corporate share repurchases have turned out to be a great mechanism
for converting Federal Reserve easing into higher consumer spending.
Just allow public companies to borrow really cheaply and one of the
things they do with the resulting found money is repurchase their stock.
This pushes up equity prices, making investors feel richer and more
willing to splurge on the kinds of frivolous stuff (new cars, big
houses, extravagant vacations) that produce rising GDP numbers.

| We’ll Look Back At This And Cringe, Part 1: European Junk Bonds Yield Less Than US Treasuries - John Rubino |
| Financial bubbles are the office Christmas parties of the investment
world. They start slowly, with a certain amount of anxiety. But they end
wildly, with acts and decisions that in retrospect seem really, really
stupid.
Millions of people out there still bear the psychic scars of buying
gold at $800/oz in 1980 or a tech stock at 1,000 times earnings in 1999
or a Miami condo for $1,000 per square foot in 2006.

Bitcoin is Not New and Improved Money  |
| Cryptocurrencies are being billed as a new and improved form of money that has been offered to us courtesy of technological evolution. There is a big problem with this conclusion. That is, digital money is not money at all. And proving this truth serves to underscore why gold has been utilized as the best form of money for thousands of years.
