May RAGE Gauge: Survive

May 8, 2025 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

You can do a lot by simply trying to survive. You don’t need huge gains that get wiped out by huge losses. Sometimes, you just need to survive to live to fight another day. In investing, that works because of the beauty of compounding money. As Dick Young said to me recently: “Survival Guy, I […]

March RAGE Gauge: “I Like to Lose Money,” Says Nobody

March 13, 2025 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

“I like to lose money,” says nobody, but like clockwork, when there’s a mini correction, Wall Street and the speculators can’t believe it’s happening. Brokers’ and advisers’ phones light up with questions like “How are ‘we’ doing?” Family and friends ask, “What are you doing with your investments?” Happens every time, and it’s why you […]

February RAGE Gauge: Are We Having Fun Yet?

February 13, 2025 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Are we having fun yet? What did you expect? President Trump didn’t write How to Win Friends and Influence People or The Art of the Tariff. This is going to take some time to play out. You can gauge how much cleaning house America needs to do by the reaction of the political class. The […]

January RAGE Gauge: Trump, Fidelity, and Your Money

January 23, 2025 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

OK, Your Survival Guy’s January RAGE Gauge is in, and it’s not pretty. What did you expect me to say? It’s beautiful. Really great. It’s a winner. Who doesn’t like winners? Yes, I’m excited about the change at the White House. But when you’re investing your money in your retirement or near retirement, you need […]

Donald Trump, the Disrupter in Chief

January 20, 2025 By Debbie Young

Fortress America The just-elected Donald Trump is to be sworn in this Monday morning. Whether you look at this as a blessing or a curse, it is hard not to admit that Mr. Trump won a clear victory in November. Yet another way to view it, offers to Kyle Peterson in the WSJ, even though […]

A Wake-up Call or Unlucky Timing

January 15, 2025 By Debbie Young

Democrat Disconnect: Trump-Proof California The Democrat-run California legislature is involved in a “special session” to focus on “special issues.” Well, those special issues were soon extinguished by news coming out of LA. In a move that Politico tells readers is “the first of its kind in the nation,” California legislature under Governor Newsome is looking […]

December RAGE Gauge: Boom! Small Business Outlook Jumps

December 13, 2024 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Wow, isn’t it amazing what a difference one month makes? Now that voters have spoken and said, “Yes, it’s the economy, stupid!” America’s small business owners are fired up. Look at how optimism jumped when Donald Trump was elected in my chart below. The most recent uptick was tied for the sixth largest in history, […]

October RAGE Gauge: Paris, Guns, Gold, LVMH, and YOU

October 18, 2024 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Your Survival Guy’s October Rage Gauge is in and it’s not pretty. What did you expect me to say? The stock market is on a Fed induced sugar high, American voters are on edge about the election and the overall direction of the country, gold is at a record high, and gun sales had their […]

September RAGE Gauge: Win Friends and Influence People

September 12, 2024 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Well, that was an interesting debate, wasn’t it? Not exactly a seminar on how to win friends and influence people. When I talk with you, you tell me it didn’t sway you one bit. And you feel the same way about the undecided voters—they weren’t compelled either way. When I think of Dale Carnegie’s classic […]

August RAGE Gauge: The Inflation Tax

August 13, 2024 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Your Survival Guy’s August RAGE Gauge is in, and it’s not pretty. What did you expect me to say? The post-Covid bucket list trips are over. Main Street can feel how the government taxes through inflation. Government is in the business of taxation with less and less representation. Now is the time to protect your […]
