IT'S SUMMER. IT'S AUGUST. IT'S THE TIME FOR "DO NOTHING" MARKETS. BTC & ETH dropped slightly on the week (Tue-Tue), gold dropped, too and the S&P 500 was virtually unchanged (Tue-Tue).  Let's hit the beach.

Have you noticed (i have) there are now multiple ways to gauge inflation. Confuse investors like a magician so they ignore the obvious. No matter what, it’s getting more expensive to live.

Markets do crazy things. Bitcoin $68k. Japan's stock market went straight up (literally) to almost 40k in 1989. The dotcom bubble. The S&P is in steroid bubble land. Be careful.

Wednesday (7/12) brings the CPI (consumer price index) and Thursday the PPI (producer price index). Then, when nothing happens, the waiting game for the July Fed decision on interest rates begins. There ya go.

It happened. Again. First Bitcoin exceeded the price of gold (2017) and now.......ETH is firmly above the shiny metal's price. It's right in front of you; gold has been replaced by the digital asset twins.

Breaking the calm of summer with some HUGE crypto news on a BTC ETF & it looks like ETH will be exceeding the price of gold very soon, too. BTC did it back in 2016/2017 & now ETH. Gold is so last 5,000 years ago.

Here's a theory. Is the SEC attempting to scare investors and make it extremely difficult to buy bitcoin with the intent to drive them into an ETF? Pretty sure Blackrock contributes to political campaigns. Hmmm!

With the debt ceiling lifted the treasury will be offering $1t in new debt. Maybe that's why the fed will hold off on raising rates? So what to do?  Before I head back to the pooll, maybe buy a bit more BTC and ETH.

La de da. Stocks only go up. What could possibly go wrong? I was involved in the 1987 crash, the dot com bubble and the 2008 financial crisis. I know what can go wrong. Be very cautious & survive (prosper).

One would think that with the U.S teetering on the cusp of defaulting on its debt, inflation not going down, economic growth slowing, interest rates rising and the general mood "blah," financial markets would be......doing something. But no.
