Short-term price fluctuations do not influence long-term trends, cycles, and profitability. The
majority, guided by price trends and emotions, concentrate on short-term trading noise rather than cyclical trends of price, time, and energy. This focus creates confusion, frustration, missed chances, and typically leaves them holding the bag during trend shifts. Investors can sidestep this pattern by embracing the

Copper's Warning & The Futility of Chasing Headlines
Copper, often referred to as “Dr. Copper,” plays a significant role in the global economy due to its widespread applications in construction, electronics, and manufacturing. Its nickname comes from its ability to predict economic trends, as demand for copper typically correlates with economic growth.

Most people were growing impatient with copper. Even subscribers wondered why its price wasn’t tracking the broader economic cycle. Lately, though, the questions about copper have stopped. Copper will be addressed more in the

Copper prices have dropped sharply in April, finally reacting to mounting supply pressures from China, elevated inventory levels, a stronger U.S. dollar, and the growing shift toward cheaper alternatives. The implementation of Liberation Day tariffs and new trade restrictions globally are further disrupting supply chains and dampening economic activity.
Global leadership, a group reading from a prepared script, is now proclaiming that globalization centered around the United States has failed. Of course, global elites believe the new center (core economy) will shift to Europe, which has China laughing out loud.

As global leaders begin pointing fingers, particularly at the Trump Administration’s tariff policies—in an attempt to deflect blame from their own policy missteps, they overlook the well-documented economic cycles detailed in the
Economy & Stock Report, as well as the MASSIVE distortions in both public and private yield curves outlined in the
US Bond Report. The Economic Activity Composite (EAC) has been deteriorating gradually since 2024. In truth, the economy was on course for a downturn well before Liberation Day ever arrived.
What lies ahead? Continued missteps from both public and private sectors, largely due to a fundamental misunderstanding of the invisible hard, particularly within academia that advises government. Expect louder protests against so-called “fascism” and other political buzzwords, while the public simultaneously demands bailouts and clings to entitlements, ignoring clear signs of widespread corruption embedded in every Republic.
Expect Wall Street to start calling for an end to the Liberation Day tariffs and for the Fed to cut rates in a panic. We've discussed a panicked Fed scenario in both the E&S and US Bond Reports. Contrary to popular belief, most of Wall Street failed to recognize the growing vulnerability in risk-on assets during late 2024.
Remember when we published the
Bitcoin Report, 03/05/25 – Dancing With Myself in Ethereum? At the time, most mainstream media pundits and social media influencers failed to see what was coming. There were a few exceptions, like
Warren Buffett and Insight subscribers. We give credit where it is earned.
