You’re telling Your Survival Guy about your recent fly fishing float trip to Wyoming, where your guide said, “We don’t wear masks around here.” Yet another reason I love the big, red, Cowboy State of Wyoming. Contrast Wyoming with NYC, and you realize the importance of having some space to move around. The same client […]
BLOOD MONEY: Cuomo Reaps $5 Million on Self-Congratulatory COVID Book Deal
Governor Andrew Cuomo was the worst of the governors gone wild during the height of COVID-19. He took liberties from people arbitrarily and forced sick seniors into nursing homes where they spread the disease to the most vulnerable. Now he has a book deal worth $5 million to tell everyone what a great job he […]
Time to Prepare: Big Time Summer Migration is On
Time to prepare. The summer migration is on, big time. The threat of gas shortages has everyone running on a full tank of 87 octane, preparing to cram two summers into one as if there’s a BOGO deal. Everyone’s going to the beach with loaded coolers and hot heads. Pay attention because nerves are frayed. […]
Here’s What’s Important in the Supreme Court Second Amendment Case
Amy Swearer reports in the Daily Signal on what Americans should know about the Second Amendment case (New York State Rifle & Pistol v. Corlett) the Supreme Court will soon hear. She writes (abridged): 1. This case is about the right to carry firearms in public. New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Corlett […]
Your Survival Guy’s Conversation with Gov. Scott Walker
You can imagine Your Survival Guy’s surprise when my cell phone rang while Becky and I were driving to dinner. Not recognizing the number, I picked up anyway. “Hi E.J., this is Scott Walker.” • You may recall it was Gov. Walker whose yeoman’s work broke the back of the unions and collective bargaining in […]
Pro-Trump Veteran Fights Democrats for Congressional Seat
Teddy Daniels, a pro-Trump, pro-America, combat veteran who was awarded a purple heart for injuries he sustained in a firefight with the Taliban, is running to unseat Democratic Congressman Matt Cartwright in Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District. Here is Daniels’ campaign video from when he previously ran in the 8th District GOP primary for 2020. I’m […]
Your Survival Guy: Kicked to the Street in Boston
Yesterday, a Wednesday in May, clients were in town. The Mooring restaurant in Newport, RI, was packed. I looked to see if there was a graduation. No, just a nice day. Imagine what 4th of July, the official start of summer in Newport, is going to look like. As an aside, I checked out Clarke […]
“Lunchbox Joe from Scranton” Watches Steel Jobs Leave Pennsylvania and Does Nothing
Joe Biden loves to tout his roots in Scranton, PA, and his connections to blue-collar workers, but he’s watching idly as US Steel is pulling back on its Pennsylvania expansion. Biden’s allies in local government have frustrated US Steel so badly that the company is taking a massive expansion project it had planned for its […]
Gas Shortage: How About that Infrastructure Bill, Joe?
On-the-ground intelligence demands that you and Your Survival Guy get gas when you can as gas shortages hit the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, DC, West Virginia, Mississippi, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Virginia. Many drivers are lucky to get 87 octane, because that’s all there is. How about that infrastructure bill? It does more supplementing […]
Bogle Warned: 800 lb. Gorillas & Greener Pastures
Look, I want you to be a happy, long-term investor. It would be easy for both of us if I told you to just buy an index fund, set it, and forget it. That approach may have worked well in the past, but I have concerns moving forward. When the late, great, founding-father of indexing […]
Minority Leader McCarthy Hammers Rep. Liz Cheney for “Relitigating the Past”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy castigated Rep. Liz Cheney for her continued pestering of President Trump, rather than focusing on winning the House back in 2022, something that should be at the top of Cheney’s mind given her role as Republican Conference Chairwoman. Rather than recognize the anger of GOP voters towards her, Cheney has […]
Tucker Explains: They Just Wanted to Break the System, So They Did
Are You The Intelligent Investor You Deserve to Be?
When it comes to your money, I want you to be a survivor. As you can see in my table, stocks have declined by over 30% three times already in this young century, and I’m talking about blue-chip stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. When we look at the tech-laden NASDAQ and the S&P […]
Biden Exposes His Own $15/hour Minimum Wage Insanity
This is too rich. Biden is telling Americans that they need to get off their butts and work, even if the job they get is paying less than government benefits. The problem is that current benefits are paying about what a $15.38/hour job would pay (depending on where you live and other factors). The push […]
The Hackers Are Only One Part of the Pipeline Problem
How could a group of hackers on the other side of the world bring down the gasoline supply for most of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States? As you can see on the map below, there are very few refined product pipelines running up the very populated areas of the East Coast. Years of […]
World Class Food Destinations & NO GO ZONES
You and I are reminded daily of a recurring theme: Big isn’t beautiful, especially when it comes to cities that lock it all down. In case after case, we’ve seen the success of smaller cities that are less strict, and remain open for business—they survive and thrive. Unfortunately, in big cities, the farther the “experts” […]
