  • Why some traditional safe havens like bonds might not fair well in the coming markets while others like gold are poised to thrive 
  • Why markets could be positioning for a major bounce back
  • Why the Fed has more tools in its toolkit than popular media and opinion are suggesting 
  • Why the dollar’s global strength is a major concern 
  • Why bitcoin is the only truly free market in the world
