2 Letters; $20 Billion Lost


Over the past few months, we’ve learned a lot about the psyche of the typical Ponzi Sector investor. You see, Ponzi sector investors will ignore most red flags, even at a company like WeWork, with more red flags than a Soviet May Day parade; Super-voting stock – Zuck did that and it worked out in the end Accelerating losses – Look at all that Read More

Talking Shipping With Mike Alkin


Over the past few months, I’ve received a lot of questions on shipping. Mike “Mr. Uranium” Alkin invited me on his show to answer some of those questions. We talked shipping, uranium, Greece and much more. My part begins at the 20 minute mark (damn Uber had me late).  I hope you enjoy. https://www.curzioresearch.com/this-beautifully-ugly-industry-has-massive-upside-potential/

It May Just Detonate…


Over the years, I’ve avoided talking much about US politics unless it directly impacts the markets. Longtime readers will know that I’m socially liberal and economically libertarian. As for politicians, I find them all to be liars; playing off human emotions for their own gain. I hate both main parties equally, as I don’t see either party representing what I believe in. With that Read More

The Year Is 2030…


The year is 2030 and the S&P just broke the 1 million level following an algo-induced short squeeze after Trump tweets, “President Ivanka headed to China to negotiate an even better deal for USA. Chinese seriously intimidated because she’s hot.” It has now been 12 years, a trade deal is nowhere in sight and despite a global economic collapse, the market still rallies 2% Read More

Kuppy Speaks With Market Huddle


Last Friday, I chatted with my good friends at The Market Huddle (click to listen). My only regret is that the audio quality made me sound as if I were in a submarine, when in reality it was just the internet in Limassol, Cyprus. We discussed product tankers, Sandridge and the markets in general.

Why The Fed Should Not Stop Raising Rates


A very smart and wealthy friend always reminds me that you have to invest in the market landscape that exists today—not the one you wish for. That said, I like to think of myself as a pragmatist who views the capital markets through the lens of financial history. That history would imply that the Fed should keep hiking rates and ignore the yield curve. Read More

The European (Dis)Union


Over the years, my good friends at Capitalist Exploits (I highly recommend subscribing) have put together a number of outstanding thought pieces on where they see things headed. They recently came out with a great overview of where Europe is headed. The trends they highlight are both interesting and actionable for those willing to put the time into thinking through the consequences of the new Read More

The View From ICR


Over the years, I’ve spent less time talking to CEO and more time learning about industries. Let’s face it CEOs lie (compulsively). They only tell you the good news—or what they think you want to hear. If I have a strategy question, maybe I’ll let them humor me for 20 minutes about their 5-year plan. However, if I want to really learn something, I Read More

The Profitless Prosperity Sector Will Collapse…


Near the culmination of all great stock market bubbles, at least one of that cycle’s supposed luminaries suffers an epic collapse because of fraud. As a result, fresh capital is restricted from that sector when it is needed most, leading to further crisis and a winnowing out of the sector as competitors cannot raise additional capital. Remember; suckers are always willing to finance bad Read More
