The Inflation vs Deflation Debate
A debate has raged for several years amongst "scholars" whether we will "crack up" via deflation or inflation. I used the term "scholars" because at least these people had the foresight to see that something is definitely wrong, really wrong and will end badly. The "others" (95% or more), sheeple who are still sleeping (some beginning to wake [...]
Headed Toward a Brick Wall
The global economy(s) has decidedly slowed down everywhere you look and at best is treading water. The GDP calculations of course are bolstered by trillions of dollars of new debt so without the "debt growth" we would be in full-fledged depression.

There Is a New “Price Put” on Gold Now
READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER Below is an interesting chart. I ask myself, how can the S&P 500 just have hit an all-time high when earnings are plunging?

Supply is First
Supply is first to go away... then goes price. We saw back in 2008 the very same scenario as we have today only in a milder form at the time.
