November 29, 2014: Interview With Sharyl Attkisson

This week we did something a little different. We interviewed Sharyl Attkisson, an Emmy-winning investigative journalist with over 20 years at CBS. Sharyl has written a new book, “Stonewalled” that details the relationship between the government, business and the media. It really helps explain why it is so difficult for us to actually learn the “truth” of what is happening around us. In the interview we talk about the charges that the government compromised her home and work computers, as well as some of the big stories she helped break, from Fast and Furious to Benghazi to Healthcare.gov. We also talked about that fateful day where Hillary Clinton claimed that she and Chelsea came under sniper fire in Bosnia. Ms. Attkisson was there that day and says that there was absolutely no danger (and has the video to prove it). We ask the important questions:  1) Why would Hillary make such a thing up, and 2) Is this the kind of person we can trust as President? Sharyl was more diplomatic than I would have been…

November 15, 2014: Whom Do You Trust?

Today was a  philosophical show. According to Gallup, there are only three institutions that more than 50% of Americans trust “a great deal” or “quite a lot”:  the military, small business and the police. Given several recent stories about police abusing confiscation laws, this will likely be down to two institutions over the next few years. The question becomes, what happens to a society when individuals lose trust in most, if not all of their major institutions? Given that this is also the week of Veterans Day, we also ask the question, “Is this the society that our veterans fought and died for?”

November 8, 2014: Post Election Review

This week we took a look at the election and what it means going forward. Overall, we expect that nothing will really change. No Congress is a match for a man with a pen, a phone and a mission… That said, we spent some time analyzing the President’s speech before his press conference on Wednesday. Warning, this analysis is not appropriate for anyone without a sense of humor.

From a market perspective, it looks like up for the rest of the year, barring some major unforeseeable event (likely on US soil. At this point I’m not sure there is any world news that can slow this market down). That said, you really need to be focused on protecting against the unforeseeable, and for this Puts are generally the best option (no pun intended). They are really cheap right now and will probably get cheaper between now and the end of the year. Picking up a few Puts for speculation on a down move early next year might not be a bad idea either. In fact, I would be very concerned about this market after the first of the year. I expect a weak Christmas shopping season, weak Q4 earnings due to the strong increase in the value of the dollar we are seeing, the potential of a Sears or JC Penney bankruptcy/reorganization filing in Q1, as well as other factors that could start a large down move. Make sure you buy your insurance before the hurricane comes!
