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.

The Real Yen Bomb – Starts Now!
Read the Thursday Afternoon Wrap-Up for 5/9/2013 and Friday Morning Commentary for 5/10/2013 For years, I have written of the untenable predicament of the "Land of the Setting Sun."

“Official Policy”
The last nearly 6 months has seen a constant barrage on the pricing of the precious metals. This process coincided with the last US quantitative easing and of course was completely counterintuitive.

What Are the Basic Issues Facing the Economy, the Dollar and Gold?
READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER A few comments on Edelson’s essay on gold and rising interest rates: Another concept that needs to be considered is that gold rises when “real” interest rates (that is the rate of interest after deducting inflation) are negative, gold is a more attractive investment for big money and hedge funds.

Hope is Fine As Long As it isn’t Based on Need
READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER I am a product of the 60s – the free thinking, live-life-to-the-fullest generation. I studied Camus, Sartre and Kierkegaard.
