Because I like you, here's a free glimpse of an amazing chart that I'm regularly watching... 👀
Three data lines are overlapping:
1. ISM Manufacturing PMI (multi-color line)
2. Global M2 (blue line)
3. Bitcoin price (red/green candles)
I still believe that the unimpressive bitcoin price performance in 2025 resulted primarily from the lack of a positive US manufacturing cycle since 2021.
Everything became distorted during the 2021 Covid-related, fiscal/monetary easing debacle, but cycles have a way of re-establishing themselves.
ISM Manufacturing PMI is finally starting to recover.
It will be interesting to see if the price of bitcoin responds in kind, as it (seemingly) has in the past.
Not a prediction, just some observations.
Cheers. 🍻


Issue #2 of the brand-new "Dr. Jeff's Macro Chartbook" drops this Thursday, March 12th. 👀
Each issue: ~5 charts I'm actively watching as a fund manager, with commentary on what I think they're telling us. Macro, geopolitics, the occasional Bitcoin rant, and unsolicited health/wellness advice -- all included at no extra charge. 😁
If you missed Issue #1 -- the most important macro chart of the last 100 years -- you can read it here:

Note: I will never give individual investment advice. Don't ask. 😉
A systematic process is ♾️ better than a prediction.
I'm doing a new thing. On Substack. 👀
Hopefully, it will provide value to some of you!

I recently received this good news from BarclayHedge about my little friends and family hedge fund:
“Vailshire Partners, LP has ranked #1 in the Multi-Strategy - Past Three Years category for the 3rd Quarter, 2025.”
I make lots of mistakes, but sometimes we get things right with our long-term systematic investment approach.


I don’t know about you , but I think it’s pretty wild to watch the post-WW2 geopolitical and financial world order fragment and reorganize in real time. 👀

Based on the amount of comments (primarily on YouTube) that I am a "moron" who should "stay in [my] lane" and not discuss geopolitics because I am "way out of [my] depth"...
I would recommend that such folks take some time to actually read the National Security Strategy of the United States of America, which was published by the Whitehouse in November 2025.
Afterwards, if you would like to have a civilized discussion about my misinterpretations of the Trump administration's geopolitical and military actions/intentions, I would be amenable.

Gold: Pay about the same, get about the same.
Bitcoin: Pay less, get more.

A fantastic and highly troubling article by Craig Tindale.
Strong recommend.

I don’t come here as often these days, but it’s sad to see the rapidly rising large number of imposter accounts here on nostr.
Yet another reason to spend less time on social media.
In case you haven't noticed yet, Central and South America are the new Middle East for US diplomacy, economics, and military action.
Much more to come, I'm guessing, in the Western Hemisphere before 2029.
