The Rule of Law is a highly dangerous manipulation of words. I have warned how government has broken all chains that bound it by flipping the Constitution from a POSITIVE restraint to a NEGATIVE one where it is now your burden to prove that they are going too far. This inversion in the Constitution allows […]

Greek bonds were being sold again sharply today. The 10 year bond spreads to Germany are wider by 60 BP on the day! Rumors are always floating around and maybe we should just expect more intraday volatility; especially given that the chasing opposition SYRIZA party have been gaining steadily in recent polls! Brussels will only […]

Many people have written asking about Putin. The pundits are claiming the Russian Army is weak and could not wage war. Russia is actually looking at expanding its military policy re-targeting Europe and the USA as enemies, and rewriting protocols for justification of a defensive first strike with nuclear weapons. The greatest mistake that the West […]

A lot of questions have been coming in about the Fed and Asset Bubbles. Quite frankly, the nonsense that the Fed creates them to hide the decay in the US monetary system is not much different from the analysis of global warming.

The bid on long-term rates has been strong over the last decade thanks to retirement plans. People have been […]

QUESTION: Martin, Continued blessings for publishing your remarkable insights.  Will the banks pass on their negative interests rates to the depositors? What will be the effect of depositors removing their cash from the banks? Thanks M ANSWER: In the US, the talk behind the curtain is to impose negative interest rates on the consumer. Banks have […]

QUESTION: Marty, I want to thank you for saving me from the nonsense of the goldbugs. They go on and on about one-world governments and manipulations and that is their excuse for being wrong. They cannot understand even what is a reserve currency or that it is merely the economic language as you say. They are […]

COMMENT: Hello Martin, Finally you have raised the issue of the “global currency reset.” I have always been of the same opinion expressed by you that in a floating currency regime an administrative devaluation is not possible.
