QUESTION:  Marty, Friends and Princeton Economics Staff, I’ve certainly had a Hate and Love relationship with you over the past few years.! I’ve travelled a path that has been financially stunting and painful on the markets for the last 10 years. I’ve felt like that guy that just keeps donating to the markets and not […]

QUESTION: Hey Martin, … My question is: is there an influence of the Dow at this moment on the cryptocurrency market and the precious metal market?

Additionally, according to bookmakers – the majority was wrong (as it must be). You did not specifically point that out, but casually […]

A busy day all round today from the Nikkei down another 2.5%, DOW futures 350 lower ahead of its open, rates rising, Jerome Powell taking office, Draghi to speak, Germany political uncertainty, BITCOIN losing another 8% now at 7,500 and the Bank of England to meet later in the week.
