TMP has climbed back to third place in our monthly asset showdown. Gold remains firmly in first, stocks rallied into second, and oil fell to fourth — as we predicted the two months ago. But the real estate market is still down. It will take a year or two to get out of this. [...]
TMP has slipped to fourth place in our monthly asset showdown. Gold remains firmly in first, stocks rallied into second, and oil holds third — all likely boosted by the ongoing Iran situation and Strait of Hormuz tensions. We’re seeing a gradual decline across most assets right now, but history suggests this should reverse [...]
