Two Types of Behavioral Biases: Cognitive and Emotional

To simplify the classifications, a cognitive error can be defined as an information processing error (statistical and/or memory). It is often the result of faulty reasoning. Many times an investor will "think" they are using a rational process in their decision making but fail due to these errors. Conversely, emotional biases are much harder to correct because they stem from impulse and/or intuition. Often an investor needs to first recognize these issues, then find a way to minimize the effects.

Silver -- will it close the gap?

In his experience, silver is a late mover in a precious metals bull market. Happens when the generalist investor is attracted by the momentum in gold and comes into the precious metals market, and leadership generally changes from gold to silver. He'd expect that to occur because we're in a very endurable precious metals bull market.

It might not happen for a year or two, but you won't need him to tell you when it's occurred. Silver is extremely volatile to the upside when its time comes.

It makes it easy to buy cryptos, offering stablecoin. Is up 484% in one month, after it went public. Its current price is crazy, though. Two banks just listed price target at $80-83 (currently $181). The market is crazy about anything crypto. Once the lock-up on insider selling expires, the shorts will shoot back. One to watch.

The Benefits of Long Term Investing: Better historical performance & success rate

Historically, long-term investing in diversified portfolios (such as index funds) has provided average annual returns of eight to 10 per cent over decades. While day traders can theoretically achieve high returns, the vast majority (80 to 90 per cent) actually lose money due to lack of experience, overtrading, and emotional decision-making. Long-term investors, by comparison, have a much higher probability of building wealth steadily over time.

So, to sum up, you can spend eight hours a day glued to your screen, pay high trading costs, pay taxes, get stressed out, overtrade and have less money to compound, or, you can buy a high-quality stock and let its own growth compound over decades, while you head out to the beach. Doesn’t sound like much of a contest to us.

The S&P fell 20% in the first half of this year and is back up 25%. Sentiment is improving along with more constructive trade talks, but things change every time Trump tweets. Be diversified. Tech remains a huge theme, seen in big ETF inflows. Also, investors are looking beyond the US and are using more covered calls. Last year was a record year for ETFs and this year is even better.

Educational Segment.

GDP

Last week, he talked about the cost of funding all the debt in the US. What we heard last week from President Trump is very disturbing; he said that any of the new debt needed to issue to pay for the "big, beautiful bill" should be 9 months and less. So he wants to finance all the new debt with bills. That's literally like printing money, which is inflationary.

Scott Bessent spoke this morning. He could have walked back what President Trump said, but did not. Looks like the Treasury is going to manipulate the way it's financing the debt, so that it can lower the cost of interest rates.

US total debt today sits at $36.2T; that's the debt ceiling, can't issue any more. That will change in July, and the debt's going to go up. The dot-com boom was the last time they had a surplus, and it's been deficit financing ever since. The GFC and Covid both added to the deficit, with the rate of overall debt going up. Now at the point where it's choking off natural economic growth.

So, what does the administration want to do? Manipulate the market, spend more money, get re-elected. 
 
Historic US economic growth was 2.4%. Today, the number is 2.2% and they've racked up a lot of debt. And the cost of that debt is sucking away from future potential growth. The system's broken, and there's no political will to fix it. A few brave souls are standing up to speak out, but they'll be coerced into voting with the team.

Government bonds in your portfolio, that historically have been thought of as safe, are riskier now more than ever. The Fed will only lower rates when the economy starts to slip; remember that the debt:GDP ratio will increase, because deficits go up when an economy's weaker.
