This Is Actually Going To Happen Next Year
This Is Actually Going To Happen Next Year The intellectual groundwork is being laid for the next stage of the Money Bubble, and it’s going to be epic.

Indonesia Impaled: Currency Crashes To 1998 Asian Crisis Low As Exports Crater On Monday we laid out the rather dire road ahead for the world’s emerging economies in the face of China’s entry into the global currency wars.

That 70s Show – Episode 2
That 70s Show – Episode 2 In Episode 1 we showed how the US labour market changed dramatically from the 1970s on back of excess money printing which allowed Americans to buy tradable goods on the international market, hollowing out its own manufacturing base, and essentially creating an unsustainable consumer driven economy where the broad masses get their […]
An economic earthquake is rumbling
An economic earthquake is rumbling While the people sleep, an economic earthquake rumbles underneath. The day that they begin to feel the quake draws near. History will record that in this decade more people will lose more money (forget about the trillions of dollars already lost) than at any time in our history, including during […]
TSHTF Podcast with Nicole Foss, Raúl Ilargi Meijer & RE
TSHTF Podcast with Nicole Foss, Raúl Ilargi Meijer & RE Nicole and I did an interview with Reverse Engineer at the Doomstead Diner a few nights ago. I haven’t listened to it yet, but he seems to think it was, let’s say, entertaining yet insightful. Cheerful in the face of collapse. Here’s what Reverse Engineer wrote about […]
Gold Prices Disprove Krugman
Gold Prices Disprove Krugman Recently Krugman wrote an op ed ridiculing Ron Paul titled, “The Old Man and the CPI.”(In case you don’t get the reference, he’s alluding to Hemingway.) Ron Paul has responded in this video, but I want to focus on Krugman’s complains about gold bugs: Ron Paul has been making the same prediction year after year — […]

It’s unloading its “entire business in Brazil,” it said this week, including retail banking and insurance. It will hand its long list of wealthy clients and over 21,000 employees to Bradesco, […]
I Sure Am Glad There’s No Inflation
I Sure Am Glad There’s No Inflation I sure am glad there’s no inflation, because these “stable prices” the Federal Reserve keeps jaw-jacking about are putting us in a world of hurt. We are constantly bombarded with two messages about inflation: 1. Inflation is near-zero 2. This worries the Federal Reserve terribly, because stable prices […]
Money and Spheres
Money and Spheres In a tiny subsection of the analytical world, analysis is becoming more pointed and poignant. I appreciate Bill Gross’s August commentary, where he concluded: “Say a little prayer that the BIS, yours truly, and a growing cast of contrarians, such as Jim Bianco and CNBC’s Rick Santelli, can convince the establishment that […]
Fed Is Not Just Behind The Curve, It’s Driving The Bus Over The Cliff
Fed Is Not Just Behind The Curve, It’s Driving The Bus Over The Cliff So the Fed didn’t raise rates again. And the timing of the rate increase will be data dependent. Ho hum. There’s just one little problem. The inflation measures the Fed watches really don’t measure inflation. The Fed won’t see what its cronies in the government […]
Currency Devaluation: The Crushing Vice of Price
Currency Devaluation: The Crushing Vice of Price Devaluation has a negative consequence few mention: the cost of imports skyrockets. When stagnation grabs exporting nations by the throat, the universal solution offered is devalue your currency to boost exports. As a currency loses purchasing power relative to the currencies of trading partners, exported goods and services become cheaper […]
Venezuela’s Hyperinflation Crack-Up Boom on its Way to Outer Space
Venezuela’s Hyperinflation Crack-Up Boom on its Way to Outer Space Why Stock Markets Are Not an Indicator of the Economy In a free unhampered market economy based on a sound monetary system – this is to say a market-chosen monetary system with a free banking industry and no central planning institution that is manipulating interest rates and […]
Plunging loonie means inflation in store: Don Pittis
Plunging loonie means inflation in store: Don Pittis Falling Canadian dollar means there are bargains to be had, but not for long Taking a shortcut through an underground mall yesterday, I saw a couple who looked like Pan Am visitors ogling the low price of jewelry outside a little downtown Toronto shop. Normally, we think of U.S. prices being cheaper […]
