Bitcoin Is Just Too Volatile To Be Money

Bitcoin is just too volatile to be money. At best it is just an asset, a speculative asset. It does have liquidity similar to money, you can exchange it.

Ultimately though the value of a Bitcoin may prove to be zero because it does not have any value if people do not want to use it as a medium of exchange or store of value because there is no real value there to store.

Good News Is Bad News When It Comes To The Stock Market

Good news is bad news when it comes to the stock market because the only thing propping up the stock market is cheap money and in order to keep the cheap money flowing the economic news has to be bad.

The Rallies Will Not Be Sustainable

We can get rallies in the stock market but they are not going to be sustainable because the Federal Reserve is going to have to join this party. The Fed will need to come to the aid of the markets with new stimulus. Just delaying the rate hike is not going to do it. They actually need to deliver more stimulus, the Federal Reserve has to be in the game, the Fed has to join the other central banks in providing fresh stimulus. They have to cut interest rates, they have to go back to Quantitative Easing (QE). And until they acknowledge that the markets are never going to be able to make much.

The Stock Market Has Not Been Going Up For The Past Year

The stock market and the economy are very different animals. A recession refers to economic activity or economic growth it does not matter what happens to the stock market.

Now, the stock market has not been going up for the past year and in fact if you look at the average stock, the average stock has been falling for two, two and a half years. In fact, I think better than 50 percent of all stocks in the S&P 500 Index are now down more than 20 percent from their peaks.

U.S. Elections & The Stock Market

Everybody likes to say "the markets hate uncertainty". What the markets like less than uncertainty is certainty when certain is bad and there is a lot of bad policy that is coming and that is a certainty. I also think we are back in a recession.
