Mexico City faded in the haze of the setting sun as I looked past the sheet glass on the 23rd floor. We sat on the patio, well above the dust and people, cars and cops with their military weapons and armored vests. The cervezas were cold, and the series of five-star Mexican dishes were as good as it gets.I was lucky to be sitting at the table with some captains of industry - Canadian oil CEOs and...Read More

The giant of the photography industry had the opportunity to adopt the technology early. But their profits depended on selling film more than selling cameras.And this is not a new phenomenon.When the printing press was invented in the 15th century, it revolutionized education fo...Read More

Love him or hate him, President Trump isn't one to run from criticism.He embraces it.Whether this is a positive or negative characteristic of his, well... that may just depend on whom you ask. Unfortunately for his critics, he's got one rather large advantage on his side: He does currently reside in the White House.I know that thought doesn't sit well with a vast majority of Americans, but it's si...Read More

Individual freedom terrifies those in power. But it is an innate desire that cannot be suppressed. Therefore the media attempts to replace the drive for personal liberation with sexual liberation.It is a carnal animalistic type of “freedom” that those in power want you to focus on. They promote a temporary feeling, a fleeting pleasure. Individual freedom is about building your future....Read More

Alright, libertarians, you wanted drug legalization, right? Well, with opioids, via loose prescriptions, you got it, and what's happened? We are in the middle of the worst epidemic of overdose and addiction this country has ever seen, thousands are dropping like flies, and it appears that things will be getting worse before they get better. Your theories might sound nice when you don't have skin i...Read More

"Go pound dirt." I wanted to laugh, but it really wasn't a laughing matter. Back in September, Volkswagen was looking to ink $60 billion worth of long-term supply contracts with the world's top cobalt miners. That plan blew up right in its face.And the response above was about as gracious as those miners were willing to be. Of course, this rejection puts quite a damper on VW's goal to shift to ele...Read More
The same media that covered for the rich and powerful is now delighting in throwing them one by one under the sexual assault bus.I can’t deny that it is a joy to watch liberal elites like Al Franken and Harvey Weinstein fall from grace.But a chill goes down my spine when I think, but why now? Why has the media suddenly done a complete 180?Don’t get me wrong, it is great to hold sexual...Read More

Why are governments so interested in breaking up monopolies? To protect the biggest monopoly of all, the government.The American people are skilled mental gymnasts. They can totally agree that monopolies in the private sector are bad. But monopolies on defense, law enforcement, courts, education, roads, and so on are perfectly fine, even necessary!This comes down to the myth of the process. People...Read More

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."This quote from George Santayana has been stuck in my head for weeks, perhaps months. It's hard to tell at this point.Maybe I'm just getting paranoid in the pre-dawn hours here in Baltimore, or maybe my readers have noticed something peculiar taking place, as if they've seen it before.And you can bet we're doomed to repeat our mistake...Read More
Have you ever tried to go out to dinner with a party of 20? This is a group of people with presumably the same core value: you all want to have dinner with some friends.

Some people might voice support for this...Read More

It's not new, yet very few investors know it exists.Some have even called it the "secret pot stock exchange" because so few investors know about it. But those who do are making a fortune.For instance, take a look at this small Canada-based marijuana company that's listed on this "secret exchange."Now, I've censored the name of this particular stock because it's currently in my Green Chip Stocks po...Read More
