The moment they capped student borrowing, private colleges started slashing tuition by $20,000 or more. This is what happens when you pull a government subsidy out of a broken market, and the establishment does not want you to connect those dots.
Fidelity dropped the hammer on smaller independent investment advisors with a $100 million minimum or you're out policy. This is consolidation dressed up as a business decision, and everyday investors are the ones who will pay for it.
I watched campaign ad after campaign ad on Sunday and genuinely wondered if I was losing IQ points in real time. What nobody is saying is that the same emotional manipulation driving these ads is the exact playbook Wall Street uses to separate you from your money.
The Oura Ring IPO just face-planted because nobody would pay $15 billion for a glorified fitness tracker, and Wall Street's spin machine immediately blamed "jittery markets." That's a lie, and you deserve to know the truth.
Stifel Nicholas is getting hit with another $30 million complaint. A massive hedge fund is staring down IRS enforcement that could be retroactive. And the common thread in every single one of these disasters is the same: someone promised returns that defied all logic, and people believed them because the pitch sounded sophisticated.

The Stop Insider Trading Act was never meant to pass. Both parties made sure of that, and they used one of the oldest tricks in Washington to get away with it. I am going to show you exactly how the con works.
The most important Treasury Department hire in years landed with a whisper, and that silence was not an accident. When Judy Shelton walks into a room, the people who profit from inflation get very uncomfortable.
These Wall Street analysts keep changing their 'base case' on live television and the media treats it like serious financial guidance. I'm done being polite about this. It's a con.
The Fed, the mainstream press, and Wall Street have a long track record of getting it wrong on interest rates and they want you to just trust them anyway. I say no.
