Much has happened in the last month, since we set out on a new venture. It’s probably time for a fuller explanation. It’s not always clear to us what we’re trying to do… it may not be entirely clear to you, either, especially if you’re new to these pages. Let us explain...
What a team of well-balanced realists! I sometimes read these missives two or three times to make sure it all sinks in. So glad you four gentlemen have embarked on this new adventure! This is win-win.
Thank Bill for many "free" years of wisdom, ie dot connecting. Now that you are in a more fee for research mode, and not as dependent on passive investors and speculators, might you discuss the stuff that makes the most rich people rich? Not stocks and bonds but harder work and harder assets like owning and operating ones business, particularly real estate? Thanks, I will keep reading in any case.
I have followed Bill since the seventies with International Living and loved every moment. Secondly, Tom Dyson is my most respected stock analyst with a genuine desire to help his readers. There couldn't be a better combination, and at a reasonable price too. Cheers to all of you.
I usually tend to stay away from paid subscriptions because I actually think - maybe contrary to what Bill suggests in this article - that there is a lot of super valuable information available for free on the internet and therefore no need to waste any money. Enough to easily fill more than 24 hours. :D
But reading Bill's writings and the other ideas provided here is definitely something I can't afford to miss. So, along with the Grant Williams podcast, this is my only paid subscription. And finally I also don't need to see any Teeka Tiwari stuff anymore. So it's definitely worth the money. :D
Shout out also to Joel Bowman, I remember he was also writing on the Daily Reckoning some years ago. And I always enjoyed reading his writings. Cool that he is part of the team.
Happy to be a subscriber and keep up the good work!
just letting you know that subscription from Oz worked but need to have an annual renewal because some of us are on a shorter rope so you don't want to be billing the dead eh .. haha
well since reading 1978 International Living whilst living working in West Germany/Europe it's been a 'blast' as we used to say and still a joy today so happy to see you guys doing what you love and we the audience get to laugh and cry along with you .. thanks for the memories both past and those we are making today and tomorrow .. may they be full of the wisdom we all are seeking .. grateful Ralph
Not to take advantage of this opportunity would be beyond foolish. Now more than at any time we need the wisdom and insight from this great team of experienced and seasoned advisors. Don’t miss out on this opportunity.
Bill, I've been reading your material from way back in the early 90's before the internet eliminated the paper mailings. Always interesting and with a twist common sense. As long as you continue writing I'll continue reading.
I've followed you folks all the way back to the beginning of Oxford Publications. So the wobbliness, humility and pure 'yank' ingenuity will overcome the arrogant, screaming political media illucidity. Buck up there, kiddo, you'll do.
Wisdom is timeless, it's only truly recognized long after the worst is over. Too late will anyone understand profit is freedom, while technology is enslavement. Rarely do we have a private moment, phones are listening, as are smart televisions.
While on day trip alone on the beach a passerby handed me his phone, on the other end a friends voice. His security camera at his beach house had detected my presence. Knowing he was not using his beach front vacation home I parked in the driveway. He followed my walk to the beach. Seeing one of his neighbors walking nearby sparked the phone call. My phone was left in the car stored within a signal blocking cover. Turning one's phone off does not in fact turn it off.
Wouldn't it be more realistic to compare the price of the dollar compared to spot gold in 1997 to the numerator or, inflation-adjusted price of the dollar today to your denominator, spot gold today? And we know the BLS and FedGov lie in their favor about everything.
In January 1997, gold was worth $331.00 per troy ounce. This is equivalent to $581.86 in 2022 dollars. The "real" inflation-adjusted price of gold has risen about 76% over 25 years, about 3% per year not compounding. That is much different than your 600% stated increase.
My point is this - gold was the best store of value for thousands of years. Today there is a "digital gold" that is "harder", faster, easier to divide, store, and transport from place to place. Bitcoin does everything gold does only orders of magnitude better. Welcome to the technological age and the greatest discovery / invention and immutable, unconfiscatable store of value in the history of the world. Bitcoin fixes the fiat Ponzi money, climate change, inflation, and is peaceful so it eliminates money-printing for wars. Bitcoin also cheap and easy to move around and verify. Is there money in Fort Knox? Gold was good; Bitcoin is the future reserve asset for all the people, not the corrupt psychopaths running the world today. #BitcoinFixesEverything
It was a great column.....particularly we liked the intro about celebrations in Ireland and we shared that bit around down here in the antipodes where things have moved a little slower....

Mr. Bonner, your analysis of public competition is 100% on. Those who " want to take it" obviously reside in DC and every state capitol.

I love the new format.

Thanks Bill...As usual love reading your post. Look forward for the research from Dan and Tom..
I was delighted when Addison in his column gave me a link to your new venture. It wasn’t a tough decision for me to sign up.
Great having you and your colleagues sharing what they know, and what they continue to learn.
Some of my interests follow.
In particular, a prime concern for many of us is how do they keep what they have earned, invested, and saved.
Please update readers on havens outside the U.S. as many of us live near cities apt to get violent and riot when a dollar crash occurs.
What kind of government changes would you expect to see in the U.S. in the wake of a financial collapse.
Bill, now that you've gone private do you have any tips on how I can stop the unending stream of solicitations from Stansberry Research and company?

Regarding your "Trade of the Decade":
