1. UPDATE 10/19/2023 – ADV Big Dollar News

    Big news today regarding the collapsing US dollar. While the spinmeisters on the financial game shows tout the dollar’s “strength” it is only when compared to even more inferior currencies that one can make that observation. The rising cost of goods is the real sign that the dollar’s purchas…Read More

  2. Weekly Article 10/19/2023 – ADV Manipulated “Facts”

    If I ever needed examples of how the financial game shows manipulate news, I got a few great examples from them in just the past week. The wonderful “jobs number” was touted as great news. The fact that over 1.2 million PART-TIME jobs were created and over 800,000 FULL TIME jobs were lost was no…Read More

  3. Weekly Article 10/12/2023 – ADV Has The Time Arrived?

    It appears to me that the time that I have been anticipating for a long time may have arrived. As I wrote last week it took us from 1776 to 1980 to run up our first trillion dollars in debt. The last trillion dollars of debt took just 8 WEEKS. The bad news is that since then, we are up another $500 …Read More

  4. Weekly Article 10/05/2023 – ADV Totally Unsustainable

    I was watching a podcast with Peter Schiff and he mentioned the US Debt Clock. He mentioned the ability to look at the projections made by those “in charge”. There is a bar on the top right that allows you to look back at historical information and also look into the projections for the future. …Read More

  5. Weekly Article 09/29/2023 – ADV VALUE

    As we sit back and watch the “markets” trying to do their ONLY job- and that would be to have a true price discovery mechanism where there are willing buyers and willing sellers that agree on a fair price- we continue to see the black hand of central banks and their buddies destroying any true p…Read More

  6. Update 09/27/2023 – ADV Extreme Risk

    I have asked the question in the past … “What happens when the price of an asset falls but the debt remains?” I am now adding to that What if the price of assets (collateral for loans) fall, the debt remains AND we are conjuring up cash to make the interest payments which is resulting in ever-…Read More

  7. Weekly Article 09/21/2023 – ADV On The Beach?

    There are many times that I think that my business is similar to trying to predict the weather. Unforeseen circumstances can always change the forecast. In watching major hurricanes, we can sometimes notice a weather pattern that keeps a major storm at sea or the lack of any resistance and landfall …Read More

  8. Weekly Article 09/14/2023 – ADV Young Again?

    While many people my age remember what it was like to be young, many of us would like to be young again in most cases. I think that many of us would like to know then what we know now. It has probably been like this throughout history. We remember how things used to be and wish we could go back to s…Read More

  9. Weekly Article 09/07/2023 – ADV Africa Awakening

      While I have been reading reports and seeing reports of how GDP is going to go up by over 5% in the third quarter of 2023 on the financial game shows, I was rather surprised to see that the St. Louis Fed is reporting that third quarter GDP will be NEGATIVE. As far as I know- that means contra…Read More

  10. Update 08/31/2023 – ADV BRICS CHINA USA

    Last week I wrote about the BRICS countries adding 6 new members. In looking at the members that have been added it is apparent that the main reason that these countries were added was very strategic. Many have said that the new acronym should be BRICS+ OPEC. Besides Russia, the other 4 members of B…Read More
