Hallelujah, the US stock market is once again at an all-time high thanks to a little help from our friends at the Federal Reserve. Every summer, central bank officials from around the world gather in Jackson Hole, Wyoming (which, if you haven’t been, is REALLY spectacular. Jackson Hole, that is,
There’s no doubt you know the story… On August 7, in the middle of the trading day, Tesla founder Elon Musk surprised investors with a tweet saying he was considering taking Tesla private at $420 per share (a $72 billion valuation) with “funding secured.” He quickly followed up with “Investor
Well, it happened. Yesterday the US stock market broke the all-time record for the longest bull market ever. This means that the US stock market has been generally rising for nearly a decade straight… or even more specifically, that the market has gone 3,453 days without a 20% correction. That’s
[Editor’s note: While Simon is traveling today, other members of the Sovereign Man team penned today’s missive.] Every year before and after the annual Liberty and Entrepreneurship Camp held in Lithuania, the Sovereign Man team takes some time to travel in Europe. Vilnius – The capital of Lithuania – by
Last week we saw how quickly a currency crisis can destroy someone’s savings. In just one week, the value of the Turkish Lira plummeted over 30% after the US imposed sanctions against Turkey. So anyone holding all of their savings in Turkish Lira got hammered. This was an unfortunate reminder

Let me say up front– I know I’ve been a bit quiet lately. It happens every year around this time when I hold the annual Liberty and Entrepreneurship Camp that I’ve been sponsoring for the past nine years. The event is incredible: I bring in top entrepreneurs and business executives,
For the remainder of this week and through the weekend, I’m in Trakai, Lithuania – just outside the capital of Vilnius – for our 9th annual Blacksmith Liberty & Entrepreneurship Camp. Each summer, I host 60+ students from around the world in this picturesque setting. But these aren’t your normal
Yesterday, I shared how you can get a Brazilian passport for your entire family by having a baby within the country’s borders. Today, we’ll continue our discussion of building a proper Plan B. Again, a Plan B is simply an insurance policy. So many people have the vast majority of
I’ve been talking a lot about economic and market risks in Notes lately. But there’s a potentially even larger risk that you’re completely ignoring today. If you live, work, invest, own a business, bank or hold assets in a single country, you’re putting all of your eggs in one basket.
Sometimes I feel like I’m living in an alternate universe… it’s like the financial version of the ‘upside down’ from Stranger Things. Case in point: last night the infamously loss-making electric car maker Tesla announced its quarterly earnings. As usual, the numbers were gruesome. Tesla’s net loss was TWICE AS
In a world full of reckless and extreme monetary policy, Japan no doubt takes the cake. The country has total debt of more than ONE QUADRILLION YEN (around $10 trillion) pushing its debt-to-GDP ratio to a whopping 224% – that puts it ahead of financial basket case Greece, whose debt-to-GDP
