Bill Bonner’s Diary warns of ‘smart money’ fleeing US stocks and decries the ‘Deep State’

Bill Bonner’s Diary warns of ‘smart money’ fleeing US stocks and decries the ‘Deep State’ The passage is a newsletter‑style commentary that repeats generic market pessimism and conspiracy‑theory rhetoric. It mentions well‑known public figures (Carl Icahn, George Soros, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton) but provides no specific transactions, dates, or actionable allegations linking them to wrongdoing. The only concrete data are broad market statistics (share‑buyback decline, gold price moves) that are publicly available and not novel. Consequently, it offers minimal investigative value, low controversy beyond already public political debate, and no new power linkage. Key insights: Claims that US share buybacks have fallen 38% to $244 billion in the last four months.; Alleges the Federal Reserve transferred roughly $8 trillion from savers to borrowers, labeling the Fed as part of a ‘Deep State’.; Mentions Carl Icahn warning of a market drop and George Soros buying a 1.7% stake in Barrick Gold.
