The Bond Market Is Burning – Could Bitcoin Backed Bonds Be America’s Lifeline?

Let’s stop sugarcoating it — the bond market isn’t “cooling off.” It’s turning to ashes. What used to be the safest asset on Earth now trades like a junk bond in a back-alley poker game. Volatility is off the charts. The smart money sees the writing on the wall: America’s credit card is maxed out, the minimum payment’s overdue, and the guy at the register — aka the bond buyer — wants real purchasing power, not promises. Squint and this looks like the early stages of a full-blown sovereign debt collapse.

VantagePoint A.I. Stock of the Week SPDR Gold Shares ETF ($GLD)

For this analysis, I reviewed gold price forecasts from eight major banking institutions. What stood out wasn’t just the numbers themselves — but the staggering spread between them. At the bullish end, the high forecast came in at $4000, while the most conservative call clocked in at just $1,820. That’s a delta of $1,880, nearly mirroring gold’s current price of $3,450 — a spread that translates to 65% historical volatility. In other words, even the top minds in finance can’t seem to agree on where gold is heading, and that divergence speaks volumes about the uncertainty and instability defining today’s macro environment.

In short, analysts remain optimistic about $TJX’s trajectory — reflecting continued confidence in one of retail’s most resilient performers.

Risk Radar: A Simple Method for Navigating Financial Storms and Anticipating Volatility

The challenge I have as a trader and investor is that regardless how I analyze the tariff concerns, I am very skeptical of the Trump administration's ability to correct all of the structural excesses that continue to destroy the purchasing power of the US dollar. Trump and his cabinet all believe in a weaker US dollar and negative interest rates. Both ideas fly in the face of common sense when it comes to defining the health of a currency and country.

VantagePoint A.I. Stock of the Week ProShares UltraShort BioTech ETF ($BIS)

The range between the 52-week high and low gives a straightforward measure of a stock's volatility over the past year. For example, the ETF symbolized as $BIS traded between a high of $25.29 and a low of $14.05. Subtracting the low from the high gives a difference of $11.24, which represents historical volatility. This figure can be expressed as a percentage of the recent closing price to provide context on how significant these swings were relative to the stock's price.
