Review
"This book is like Mal - who is a rider, a rocker and a rebel. He doesn't just think outside the box - he drags it behind his Harley on a cross-continent adventure and then runs over it a few times for good measure. The Bay and Wall Street guys are gonna hate it - Main Streeters should embrace it. One ton of fun!" BJ Del Conte Chase Producer, BNN - Business News Network Business Producer/Anchor - CP24-

Corporate Bonds not out of the woods yet!
We’ve watched a bit of a bear market rally in stocks, but also saw the same short term narrowing of corporate bond spreads (the difference between the yield offered by corporate bonds versus the virtually risk-free government bonds or treasuries). … Continue reading

The bonds that can lose your money!
I mentioned in an earlier article, published Feb. 24th, that even bonds and bond ETF’s are at risk in the current environment; primarily due to a phenomenon know as a widening of credit spreads. This is happening in a big … Continue reading

Bonds (ETF’s, Mutual Funds) at Risk even in a Recession
It’s very difficult to teach young adults about how bonds work – although I believe I’ve done a pretty good job of it. It’s even more difficult to educate adults that had an aversion to math when they were at … Continue reading

What is the bond market telling us?
Bond traders have taken yields at very short end of the curve and mid-range (2 to 10 year maturities) a bit higher as confidence in the economy has temporarily strengthened. However as I’ve mentioned in prior articles, we may already … Continue reading

When Consumer is Happy, Markets are High Risk
Consumer sentiment is usually considered an economic leading indicator. When confidence is at rock bottom levels, it’s a sign that the economy and stocks markets are heading lower. This isn’t true. I’ve published for years that consumer confidence is one … Continue reading

The rally in stocks will end! Buy bonds.
I stumbled across this quote from USA Today dated Nov. 5th, 2019: Mike Piershale, president of Piershale Financial Group in Barrington, Illinois, manages portfolios for retirees and pre-retirees. Most of his clients have 70% toward stocks and 30% to bonds. … Continue reading

Hold on to your bond ETF’s: It’s a RECESSION!
There are a enough indicators to suggest we’re already ‘in’ a recession. But, you say, GDP stats that have been published remain positive. As I learned decades ago, historical data doesn’t tell us much – its published with a delay … Continue reading

BONDS – Where we go from here!
But there may be reason to expect any correction to be mitigated by a FED that wants to simply layoff the accelerator rather than apply the brakes. There have been periods when interest rates have climbed modestly yet stock markets continued to be relatively generous. Continue reading
