Easily Controlled Herd of Goats Heading South

Mish Schneider | April 2, 2018

Over the weekend, we anticipated that last Thursday’s rally was a classic case of “window dressing.”

Mish Schneider | March 21, 2018

Someone told me recently that the public has no interest in interest rates.

Really?

Besides scoffing at this person’s low-bar view of the public, I am also publicly disagreeing.

The Bulls Still Have Granddad

Mish Schneider | March 20, 2018
