I had the pleasure of discussing the global economy with Adam Taggart at Wealthion earlier this week.
Signs of Trouble Everywhere
Early in the interview I briefly mentioned my migration off the Maven back to WordPress. That was supposed to happen Wednesday.
We had trouble migrating comments but posts and images look good. Instead of doing things in pieces, we will try again with the comments on Monday.
Also, Gary Brode at Deep Knowledge Investing has invited me to be on his board of advisors.
We will do some cross posting of articles including actionable investment ideas from him in addition to my normal macroeconomic perspective.

Mike, I’m being bombarded with your emails. I got 20 today alone! What’s is going on? Is this permanent thing or just a temporary problem?
Please advise, thanks

Note: The migration back to WordPress happened today. There were 5 or 6 days of missing posts. Adding them triggered a slew of emails. Apologies offered.
