So Many Locations, Still Not Enough Employees I love the convenience of passing a Dollar General Store on my way home. My go-to location is at 3220 MARINER DR, just off Oak Hill Road. My son needed some supplies for a project he was working on, so I planned to stop in the DG ...
The USD is losing ground against the tiny “other currencies” combined. The chart below shows the colorful tangle magnified. China is the second largest economy in the world, yet its currency plays only a minuscule and declining role as a reserve currency, and is n...
You have it posted on your front door, wear a mask it’s required. Fine, I wore mine but your cashier at the Market in Cookeville had his on his chin only. I requested that he put on his mask before he checked me out. He said he was strong and wasn’t ill. I told him my gr...
That really piqued my interest, leaving me searching for it on the charts. Longer-term price charts are the best tool for maintaining perspective, providing essential context for framing the latest market action. Here gold is superimposed over the USDX during the last several years or so. While...

As we stated before, predicting the outcome of both existing and unreported claims is inherently complex, particularly as general liability claims have become more volatile in recent...
This year has been a very exiting time for traders and investors. We have seen a steady climb in prices with controlled pullbacks in the broad market and gold. Using technical analysis we are able to quickly and accurately make informed decisions just fr
Leave the big city and follow the mostly paved farm-to-market narrow roads. Just keep driving until I see billboards spouting ideas and products that are unique to smaller towns and counties, like tractor sales and hybrid corn. Two hours into my trip, I serendipitously spotted a sign for ...
Whenever I did something akin to rebalancing, it was usually in response to some vague discomfort about the level of risk we were taking. Or it was based on a hunch about where the market would move in the near future—typically misguided....
