Most people are not avid followers of economic news, and I don\u2019t blame them. Financial analysis is for the most part boring and tedious and you would have to be some kind of crazy to commit a large slice of your life to it.<\/p>\n

However, those of us who are that crazy do what we do (and do it independently) because underneath all the data and the charts and the overnight news feeds we see keys to future events. And if we are observant enough, we might even be able to warn people who don\u2019t have the same proclivities but still deserve to know the reality of the world around them.<\/p>\n

Most Americans and much of the rest of the planet probably was not aware of the recent oil producer\u2019s meeting in Doha, Qatar this past Sunday, nor would they have cared. A bunch of rich guys in white dresses talking about oil production levels does not exactly spark the imagination. What the masses missed, though, was an event that could affect them deeply and economically for many months to come.<\/p>\n

A little background highly summarized\u2026<\/p>\n

After the derivatives and credit crisis launched in 2007\/2008 the Federal Reserve responded to disastrous levels of deflation with a fiat money printing bonanza. Everyone knows this. The problem was the central bankers never had any intention of actually using all that \u201ccash\u201d to support Main Street or the fundamentals of the economy.<\/p>\n

Instead, they used their printing press and digital loan transfers to artificially re-inflate the coffers of banks and major corporations. It was a blood transfusion for vampires, if you will.<\/p>\n
