May 21, 2013
|
|
Recently I wrote an article discussing reasons for the retreat in gold pricing As I have done countless times in the past I pointed out the common myth held by gold bugs that gold protects against inflation By now you should realize that gold does not protect against inflation Anyone who has bothered to examine the data will confirm this Even if gold did serve as a hedge against inflation the fact is that there has been very little inflation to speak of despite the large increase in the money...

As detailed in many issues of this publication for some time now as well as in Americaas Financial Apocalypse the US government must raise sufficient revenues needed to pay off its enormous debt obligations In addition it must determine how it plans to funds its entitlements program Even with planned cuts to entitlements Washington will need more revenues to fund these programs The largest concern is Medicare

|
A Closer Look at the Federal Budget
Jan 30, 2013
|
|
Each year Washington spends money to provide a variety of services Ideally Washington should only spend as much as it takes in so that no deficit is created But of course this is pure fantasy
|
|
|
|
Opening Statement from the January 2013 Intelligent Investor (Part 1)
Jan 26, 2013
|
|
Fiscal cliff negotiations turned out to be a disaster As you will recall the fiscal cliff referred to automatic expiration of numerous tax breaks and expenditures It was meant to serve as an economic emergency brake to address medium term deficit and budget issues in case Washington did not act to alleviate expenditures on its own Instead of allowing expenditures and tax breaks to expire Washington essentially abolished the cliff and made a few minor tweaks
|
|
|
|
Opening Statement from the January 2013 Intelligent Investor (Part 2)
Jan 26, 2013
|
|
As the Fed continues with quantitative easing commodities continue to sell off as expected This makes sense if we consider the primary force driving commodities right now is the global economic slowdown Thus weak demand has served to neutralize much of the potential inflationary force created by quantitative easing
|
|
|
|
Opening Statement from the January 2013 Intelligent Investor (Part 3)

|
|
|
|
November Intelligent Investor Opening Statement (Part 1)
Jan 19, 2013
|
|
Based on the performance of several stocks considered to be very reliant on the outcome of the election it appeared that Wall Street had determined at least a few weeks ago that President Obama would win the election
|
|
|
|
November Intelligent Investor Opening Statement (Part 2)
Jan 19, 2013
|
|
One cannot deny that the chart of the Dow looks impressive since March 2009 This is by no coincidence A trend of record earnings have combined with record low Treasury yields and the safe haven status of US assets to keep the market high But as we have been warning for a year now earnings continue to weaken

The Damaging Consequences of Free Trade
Dec 29, 2012
|
|
For over three decades proponents of free trade have promised Americans more jobs This promise has not been kept Ever since NAFTA was signed into law in 1994 developing nations have been on the receiving end of millions of jobs that have left the US soilThe truth of the matter is that free trade was designed to boost corporate profits And it has achieved this objective with impressive fashion Thus because the wealthiest Americans own large numbers of corporate shares free trade has also been...

Examination of the Persistently High Unemployment Rate
Nov 1, 2012
|
|
Economists and other hacks continue to point the blame on the lingering high unemployment rate on things outside of Washingtons control Some blame it on the economic cycle These hacks insist the nations high jobless rate is due to low demand Accordingly they recommend more stimulus Others suggest the high unemployment is due to structural factors They basically claim that workers no longer possess the skills needed by the work place or else they reside in regions where there is a skill...

Free Trade and the Suicide of a Superpower (Part 1)
Oct 22, 2012
|
|
When President Bush was preparing to leave the White House during the peak of the financial crisis he was instructed by his globalist handlers to preach the ldquowe must guard against protectionismrdquo line so as to reinforce the continuation of the propaganda campaign once Obama entered office This line was taken directly out of the mandates from the United Nations International Monetary Fund and other organizations comprising the globalization establishment

Free Trade and the Suicide of a Superpower (Part 2)
Oct 22, 2012
|
|
When I wrote Americaas Financial Apocalypse in 2006 I did not want to be accused of being overly pessimistic even though such an accusation would not likely hold merit since my analysis was based on extensive dataNevertheless to safeguard against such a criticism in the final passage of this book I wrote that once confronted with the elements of Americaas Second Great Depression Washington would make the changes required to prevent the indefinite demise of the US However I knew that these...

October 2012 Economic and Market Overview
Oct 17, 2012

The recent unemployment data showed a decline in the jobless rate from 81 to 78 but this is no reason to become optimistic This data is most likely an anomaly due to statistical errors and will probably move back to the 80 mark in coming monthsNo it is not as Jack Welch has claimed The BlS did not manipulate the data by any more than it already does in order to give Obama a boost in ratings after a so called poor debate performance against republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for...

August 2012 Economic Overview (Part 2)
Aug 23, 2012

Most economists expect the economy to pick up speed in the second half of 2012 but we do not feel this is likely The external risks alone threaten to at least keep growth in the US subdued as the spillover effects of the recession in Europe begin to be felt in coming months This is something we warned about several months ago Thus we have previously factored these projections into our market forecasts Regardless it is important to take note of the short term disconnect between stock market...
