Financial Survival Network, Released on 2/7/20

The world is a complicated place. While things often seem to be happening independently of each other, they are actually connections that we aren’t aware of or that are deliberately hidden from us. Tesla was on its way to $1000 but stopped just short. Is the financial system about to collapse or is this the best economy ever? The stock market keeps rallying, as if there won’t be anymore stock issued and you’ve got to get it while it’s still available. Everything going on in our financial system is counter-intuited. Central banks keep pumping in the liquidity. The Fed’s temporary lending programs seem to be on their way to permanency. As long as they’re done under the guise of repo, then they’ll never have to account for it. And it’s happening over the world.

Rob Kirby is a financial commentator and former broker who worked on an institutional trading desk for most of the 1980s and right up until 1996. He also worked for 11 years at Prebon Yamane, an international inter-dealer broker of foreign exchange and interest rate products. He spent an additional year at another money/bond broker called Freedom Bond Brokers, then spent two years at Garban Inc., another inter dealer bond brokerage in Toronto – and left the industry in 1996. He started writing in 1997, and was involved in a number of entrepreneurial pursuits from marketing Buffalo meat to a part time stint in the giftware business. In 2002, he went to work for Investor’s Group, the largest Mutual Fund Company in Canada. He worked there up until September ’04 when he resigned to write about the markets – and his book – from a “gold bug’s” point of view. His website is called Kirby Analytics.
