I am a very boring investor. Most of my investments are in solid dividend paying companies, US treasuries, and muni bonds. I live off the income from these investments, along with a decent fixed pension and Social Security. I almost never sell a stock. I really don't care what the stock price does, as long as the company is financially sound and their dividend increases with inflation. A few stocks have blown up on me (Lehman Brothers!) with small effect (I am widely diversified). However, in my lifetime I have NEVER seen things as bad as they are now. So I subscribed to BPR to see what they recommend that I do, but I will not do anything crazy just because they say so. I am curious what others on this forum think about BPR and their experience with them.

If you think the fed is going to crack under societies pressure, Iโ€™m afraid youโ€™re mistaken. Inflation will continue past the new year. Everything needs to rearrange.

Next up, Stock trading platforms will shake the tree enough to get margin calls activated as stocks continue to Kamikaze their way into the pits of hades. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Millions in dollars of margin debt called, time to pay the Piper, the little fish will get fried immaculately!

Historically you can say anything. Even if it only happens once in a million, guess what, it happens today or tomorrow, and once in a million will continue to happen an eternal amount of times everyday. Like a new sailor at sea.

Btw, I make $400 an hour watching tv. Please visit and click on:

I have been reading Bill for a little while and I agree of the outcome of this mess in the years to come.

Why anyone will be surprise that Chris Mayer or anybody else will be hurt . I ll been long bases metals , cash and real estate since long . My assets are not much better than two years ago and still I am the least hurt but still not boasting about my investment . As Tom would says I am in the defensive mode ( dans l attente ) . But when you look today everything is down ( apart energy ) my point is that if we are constant on Bill missives the world will change so much that most of us even the most prudent will be hurt in their investment or assets , I agree with him ... why should I or him be surprise that anyone is loosing on their investment, even when they are in a defensive mode . This system is going slowly and then suddenly as he says . The best is to accept the view that he has and share with him ... to accept ( and I am not saying he is not ok with it ) the small drawn down , to be in a place emotionally and financially ok to take advantage in the years to come . I do believe the mess will come more about 2026 and beyond , than patience will be the daily mรฉdecine to take .we all know that the Fed will do as they have been doing since 1987 ... I assure they wonโ€™t change , they the outcome will be big inflation and then huge deflation because DEBT . Am I sure that I ll be ok in the years to come ...NO because I do not contrรดle all of I am talking about even with 45 years in the market ... but one thing I am sure , I ll enjoy my family my long time friends and the ones I ll meet in the future and God willing ... biking a lot of kilometers every day ... I love it ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‰.

Have you heard that USA's big money and finteck stocks and Faang stocks have been meeting in private with the leftist movement in Washington DC to start a Fed digital currency and now meeting overseas to start a global digital currency. Where will they get the 2.5 trillion dollars for this,? Biden is wanting to combine Social Security With all of our retirement plans by August before the elections to get this done. Is this possible?

Trade of the decade working very well for me. I coupled it with EOG another Agora publication trophy asset. Couldnโ€™t be more happy and well informed with Mr Bonner.

Wonderful accurate expose of how the 'SHTF' finally, thank goodness, any more delays will just make the outcome worse and extend the pain into years of agony .. we should celebrate and now watch as the anti-freedom forces who've established their dictatorial empires begin to flex their and expand their leached/corrupted energies from their former hosts, whom they have sucked dry of their economic life blood. Even Dan Brown and Jim Rickard have picked up on this scenario .. exciting I wonder who wins this battle of freedom against dictatorship eh Doctor Bonner ..?
