Investment Opinions from Casey Research
John Mauldin presents an Outside the Box interview with David Galland of Casey Research. I think it is a must-read for investors. In the interview, Mr. Galland sees a major policy shift by the Federal Reserve in terms of ending QE2 with no announced QE3. Mr. Galland believes: That the shift, and it is imminent, [...]
Inflation — Not to Worry
Inflation is beginning to break out all over. The government is beginning to look even sillier trying to deny that it is a problem. Joel Bowman provides the following commentary: Did you read that, truck driver in Chicago (where gas is now over $4.35 per gallon)? Did you see that, grocery-shopping mom in Middle America, [...]
Morris on Boehner’s “Success”
Dick Morris’s interpretation of the government shutdown outcome: John Boehner has just given away the Republican victory of 2010 at the bargaining table. Like the proverbial Uncle Sam who always wins the war but loses the peace, he has unilaterally disarmed the Republican Party by showing that he will not shut down the government and [...]
Europe’s Pretend and Extend
GoldMoney discusses the rise in interest rates in Europe and why it is meaningless in the longer term. The key point is the following: In the words of Detlev Schlichter – author, blogger and former derivatives trader: “The ECB will not be allowed under any circumstances to meaningfully tighten monetary policy, to drain liquidity from [...]
A Historic Scam
Mark Levin can be abrasive, but he doesn’t mince words. His position in this interview is that the recent budget deal was an historic scam. In normal politics, the two political parties are like the Bloods and the Crips. They do almost anything to protect or gain turf at the expense of the other. However, [...]
Dollar Collapsing?
If you are wondering why Gold has did so well last week, look no further than the plunge in the dollar: The above chart represents the last three days of last week, April 6 through April 8. While the above does not qualify as a “collapse” in the sense that I believe we will have, [...]
Government Economic Propaganda
Despicable Lies, Delusional Economic Recovery, Hyped Unemployment Numbers… by Joel S. Hirschhorn The government is doing its best to convince you that we are in recovery. Most citizens do not believe, despite what they are told. They live with the real “data” every day and see, feel and pay for what is happening in their [...]
Dallas Fed Chief Says U.S. in ‘Budgetary Death Spiral’
I have used the term “Debt Death Spiral” which I think might be more appropriate. Richard W. Fisher, Dallas Federal Reserve president, speaks in terms of a “budgetary death spiral.” There is little reason to quibble over the terms — one focuses on causes, the other effects. Technically, one could argue that it might be [...]
More on The Predatory State
A few days ago I wrote an article on how the IRS preys on innocent citizens coercing them with laws designed to stop money laundering. As the State becomes desperate for funds, it will do anything to survive (except cut spending, of course). From Michael Panzer comes another illustration of predation. This one is from [...]
Why Government Won’t Solve This Problem
This article from the Freeman details our problems, their causes and why feckless politicians will not solve them: Had Enough Yet? by Sheldon Richman The last couple of TGIF columns focused on the trees — some victims of government action — rather than the forest – Leviathan itself. Today’s topic – the looming fiscal disaster – is a [...]
