Space Wars, Taiwan Under Siege, and “Rich Men North of Richmond” with Dr. Pippa Malmgren
I am very excited to have Dr. Pippa Malmgren as my guest this week.
Our discussion touches on a wide spectrum of strategic hot spots, including the state of modern warfare.
The war theater has changed, advises Pippa, and the new battlefield has moved into space. It’s the new race to control what’s orbiting the planet.

Fentanyl & Cartels: China’s Deadly Drug War with the US | Allison Fedirka
US trade with China is way down with one disturbing exception: fentanyl. Thousands of Chinese companies are capable of manufacturing ingredients needed to produce the drug and exporting them to the West, along with instructions on how to create fentanyl powder.
Many of these companies are state-owned enterprises, according to Allison Fedirka, my guest this week. She says there is no denying that China’s government is involved with the fentanyl...

Rates, Housing, Inflation, and Zombies with Barry Habib
Zombie companies need cheap money to survive. Cheap money is a thing of the past, and casualties are piling up. It’s a familiar script: borrow money to fund growth, and compete on price. That business model fails when interest rates rise quickly. As debt-burdened, low-cost providers get squeezed by higher rates, more will fail. The irony is that culling weak companies may actually be inflationary—a knock-on effect the Fed will not welcome. My guest...

The Power of Price and Margin Strategies | Samuel Rines
When inflation spiked last year, companies responded by raising their prices. As price pressures started to ease, companies opted to prioritize pricing over volume. The move made perfect sense, says Samuel Rines, Managing Director at Corbu, LLC, as pricing helped maintain margins. It’s a strategy he has dubbed “price and margin” (PAM). And as input costs retreated and prices stayed steady, the money fell to the bottom line. It’s one of the things...

Get Elected and Profit Like Pelosi
Trust in elected officials has been in steady decline for decades. It’s hard to decide if members of Congress and other elected officials are self-serving or civil servants. One thing is certain—many are getting richer while in office. They are investing based on insider knowledge. If you or I did that, we’d go to jail. If you are in Congress, it’s perfectly legal.
Matt K. Lewis just released a book on this topic, and he pulls no punches. Filthy...

ESG: Trillions Squandered and Zero Progress
The envisioned benefits of ESG investing—owning companies that follow responsible environmental, social, and governance policies—have failed to materialize. Instead, the blind acceptance of ESG precepts has resulted in trillions of dollars being misallocated and zero progress toward its principle target: climate change.

Colleges today are experiencing falling enrollment. They’ve created their own crisis. What happens next...
