Trump’s Most Dangerous Foe at his One-Year Mark (with Guest Rick Ackerman)
Good evening Investors. It was fitting today–after all I’ve had to say about this in recent weeks–that The Bond Market Vigilantes spoiled President Trump’s One-year anniversary of his 2nd go-round in office.
In a new podcast just recorded this afternoon, I was joined by my old friend Rick Ackerman — WATCH IT HERE or by clicking on the above graphic.
Rick (of the eponymous technical/trading service “Rick’s Picks,” just one of the informative things you’ll find at rickackerman.com) joined me on this important market day where the global debacle in sovereign debt started picking up even more speed.
The president has many enemies: from leftists protecting pedophiles and other criminals in Minnesota (and elsewhere)…to various nations not all that happy with his assertiveness over trade, tariffs, Greenland, “The Donroe Doctrine” … and more.
But perhaps his BIGGEST foe–and one that he may not be able to overcome–is The Dreaded Bond Market Vigilante.
You’ve heard me discuss the president’s (and the Treasury’s) looming crisis for a little while now. Today–as world bond markets REALLY start to blow out — Rick joins me to sort it all out.
Along the way of discussing both the fundamental and technical picture for Treasuries (NOT a pretty one!) we add some counterintutive thoughts on the U.S. dollar, metals, politics and MUCH MORE!
A lively and very “meaty” conversation, if I may say so.
All the best,
