Hello Contrarian Capitalists. I hope that you are well and that you have had a great week.
First of all a massive thank you to all new and existing founding members, paid subscribers, free subscribers and followers!! It is a blessing to see the channel grow and to know that more and more people are enjoying and (more importantly) getting value from The Contrarian Capitalist! Thank you!
It has been a very interesting and yet scary week in the world. Ukraine struck Russia with US + UK long range missiles after the ‘Biden Admin’ decided to seemingly do a U-Turn on foreign policy.
Russia retaliated and has reiterated that it will not tolerate more strikes. I would imagine that more strikes will be on their way and that the situation will very unfortunately escalate.
I wrote here that it is important that you hold gold and silver. Geopolitical tensions are not going away anytime soon and war is inflationary!
I suggested at the start of the week that the major markets might correct this week. There was a slight pullback at the start of the week but the markets continued higher as we shall see in the charts.
Highlights this week include:
Uptrend in place for the major markets
Gold rebounds
Silver rebounds
Oil rebounds
Nat Gas edges higher
Worldwide issues have not gone away and the main fundamentals are still in play (and will likely be in play for the long run too)
