Peter Cavelti’s essays have been printed and quoted in papers, magazines and newsletters internationally, including The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, The Financial Times, the Financial Post, The Globe and Mail, Money, Personal Finance and World Link. Peter releases new commentary as inspired by current events and the desire to share information with an independent, unbiased voice.
Geopolitical, social, technological and economic realities are not only deeply intertwined, but also capable of affecting each other. Still, most analysts of current events focus only on one particular area. In this issue, we examine the profound changes all around us.
Increasingly, politicians, corporate leaders and academia manufacture narratives and sideline competing views. What surprises is the willingness of the populace to accept even the most obvious misrepresentations, provided they are repeated by a compliant media complex. We explore the social and financial consequences.
An unusual number of reader questions prompt us to go deeper on four key topics: government debt defaults, the ongoing banking crisis, our portfolio composition, and Central Bank Digital Currencies.
The debt-ceiling scare and the banking crisis have receded into the background, but the underlying problems remain unaddressed. We take a closer look at indebtedness globally and weigh the risk of a recession. And finally, we look at investments appropriate for today’s challenging environment.
Americans are not alone in losing trust in their government, and for good reason. But, as we explain, trouble in the United States will seriously undermine global stability. The economic, social and geo-political implications are enormous.

‘Market Sniper’ host Francis Hunt interviews Peter Cavelti: duration 56 minutes. The discussion focuses on the challenges of preserving capital in a rapidly changing economic, social and geopolitical environment. Peter explores the importance of stock selection and the virtues of gold.
Gold is up, the dollar down, and Wall Street has a whole new consensus—as always offered with enormous confidence. We explain why some of the assumptions are wrong. Our formula for financial success: be aware of the challenges at hand, consider various possible outcomes and, as they become more defined, react and adjust.
Centralization is closing in on every front, threatening to upend the geopolitical balance, the social order, and the way we’ve lived and related for the past many decades. We explain how military, trade and corporate alliances undermine our wellbeing.
How not to be cynical when corruption stares you in the face? Peter dives into the root causes of our many systemic problems, reviews the geo-political and social landscape and offers his latest investment recommendations.
We comment on out-of-control monetary and fiscal policies, the most challenging macro outlook in decades, and the fact that key asset classes remain overvalued. We also revisit our portfolio strategy, which is designed to navigate a constantly changing environment.
Peter comments on the overall investment environment and provides a comprehensive analysis of gold: as an asset of last resort, as a currency, as a commodity and as a potent portfolio stabilizer.
