QUESTION: Dear Martin, Thank you for your commitment to helping others through this unsettling time. Long before I found you, I was fascinated with the capital markets and historical financial crashes, in particular. I spent many years on Wall Street (and LaSalle ST) building and marketing trading systems for the listed options industry. Through the numerous […]

I have a correction to make. Gretchen Esther Whitmer is a Democrat serving as the 49th governor of Michigan.

QUESTION: Martin – In the video link you see the blank answer by former Fed Chairman Bernanke when asked, in a 60 Minutes interview, as to where he saw unemployment going/peaking in the last crisis of 2008 (at minute 3:27). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKx1BZd9bjQ How do you best explain Socrates being able to pick up so far in […]

I know he is a businessman and with the current situation is he making the right call with all his business knowledge? ( not sure the reason for the name-calling?) Trump presses ‘pathetic’ Fed to cut rates more […]

QUESTION: Hi Martin! Like everyone else that has let you know…thanks for the call before the drop! My question pertains to the possibility of the slingshot….as this drop so far has only reached just under 24,700 on the downside, how far down would we need to go to get everyone bearish enough to throw in […]
