The Real Reason the “Rich Get Richer”

24 Jul

I have know this for more than 40 years.  The chickens are coming home to roost.  If Bernie had talked about the Federal Reserve, he would be the nominee.  Ditto for Rand Paul. 

“Time the Taskmaster DUBLIN – “Today’s money,” says economist George Gilder, “tries to cheat time. And you can’t do that.” It may not cheat time, but it cheats far easier marks – consumers, invest…”

Wild money printing

17 Jul

“One of the more preposterous deeds of modern central banking involves creating digital monetary credits from nothing and then using the faux money to purchase stocks.  If you’re unfamiliar with this erudite form of monetary policy this may sound rather fantastical.  But, in certain economies, this…”

A pessimistic perspective: war and economic turmoil

17 Jul

“On the surface, things seem pretty quiet in mid-July 2016.  The biggest news stories are about the speculation surrounding Donald Trump’s choice of running mate, the stock market in the U.S. keeps setting new all-time record highs, and the media seems completely obsessed with Taylor Swift’s love life.  But underneath the surface, it is a very different story.  As you will see below, the conditions for a “perfect storm” are coming together very rapidly, and the rest of 2016 promises to be much more chaotic than what we have seen so far. Let’s start with China.  On Tuesday, an international tribunal in the Hague ruled against China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea.  The Chinese government announced ahead of time that they do not recognize the jurisdiction of the tribunal, and they have absolutely no intention of abiding by the ruling.  In fact, China is becoming even more defiant in the aftermath of this ruling.  We aren’t hearing much about it in the U.S. media, but according…”

16 Jul

unnamedGold is in the second major bull market since President Nixon severed the last link between the dollar and gold on August 1971.  With negative interest rates around the world and real interest rates negative, gold will boom, again.

In the 1980s and 1990s real interest rates were positive and stock markets were booming, hence gold went nowhere.  That alla chnged at the turn of the century.

It’s coming: Massive money printing

13 Jul

Precious metals prices will soar. 

“We’re always assessing tools that we could use,” Mester told the ABC’s AM program. “In the US we’ve done quantitative easing and I think that’s proven to be useful. “So it’s my view that [helicopter money] would be sort of the next step if we ever found ourselves in a situation where we wanted to be more accommodative.
