In early December, silver was headed toward $60 per ounce, and I told my team it would hit $80 in 2026. At that point, silver was up from $30 per ounce earlier in the year, and many wondered whether it was near a top. At the time, my $80 prediction was considered bold. Just mid […]
The resurgence of inflation over the last few years has made us realize the adverse effects of rising prices on our lives. It’s important to consider inflation if you are retired or planning for retirement. Newcomers to the high-yield realm often carry with them preconceived notions from other investment strategies, but the security of high-yield […]
The resurgence of inflation over the last few years has made us realize the adverse effects of rising prices on our lives. It’s important to consider inflation if you are retired or planning for retirement. Retirement brings some big changes to most people’s financial status. As they approach the end of their working careers, most […]
The 1970s playbook. We hear a lot of talk about that without much discussion about what it is and why we should use it.

There is no doubt that in an inflationary environment—such as the one in which we find ourselves now—consumer spending habits are affected. As prices continue to rise, people will stop to consider the things they really need versus the things they would like to have. For example, when it comes to food, people simply must […]
It is a confusing time to be an investor, especially if your primary investing goal is generating a stream of income. We are in bear market territory on the back of successive rate hikes as I write this but there is an almost total absence of real fear. As we saw in last Friday’s 658-point […]
The hot consumer price index (CPI) number last Friday has caused major damage to the equity markets. Volatility has remained elevated.
