In 2009, the Fed coined the term, “green shoots”, and institutional money managers loved it. They believed that Fed money printing and government debt would empower the economy.
Now, the same money managers talk of a “zombie” stock market, where money printing and government borrowing are ultimately destructive actions that open the door to a 1929-style wipeout.

With COMEX gold getting very near new 2020 highs, concern is growing that COMEX silver is not coming along for the ride. Let's give it a few days and then check back.
Let's start with COMEX Digital Gold. Recall that prices surged with the onset of QE∞ on March 23. In the thirteen weeks since, price has rallied from $1488 to Tuesday's intraday high of $1786.

At the same time. they will hit Trump with everything they've got, treating his every misdeed as a potentially impeachable offense. The MAGA crowd will need to believe deeply in their cause to parry media lies as the campaign progresses. In the meantime, investors are certain to grow increasingly queasy as November approaches, and even despairing if Trump's popularity should slip. The demands on his leadership will intensify as the nation edges toward civil war. Unfortunately, there have been few signs so far that the President is capable of rising above the fray to demonstrate the kind of wisdom Americans will need to get them through these extraordinarily difficult times.
