Russia Dumps US Bonds – Is it Politics or Yield?
July 24, 2018QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; It appears that Putin also follows your model.

Market Talk- July 23, 2018
July 23, 2018The market is again balancing the idea of whether or not the Yen is a safe-haven currency!

Trump Revolution Spreads to Democrats & They Miss the Point of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
July 23, 2018The Trump Revolution has clearly now spread to the Democrats. People do not understand that the Trump Revolution is NOT about a particular philosophy. It is about just throwing those in power out. The year 1933 was the same thing. That year saw the extreme-right elect Hitler, the left elect Franklin Roosevelt, and the extreme-left put Mao and […]
Coins of the Siege of Masada
July 22, 2018QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; I tried to search to see if the Romans ever issued any coins to announce the victory over Masada. I did not find any mention of Masada and coins whatsoever.

Has 95 become the New 65 for Retirement?
