Just what we need – another economist with ZERO real work experience. The latest economist destined to destroy the world in the same manner as Karl Marx is Thomas Piketty and his new book Capital in the Twenty-First Century that is destined to perhaps kill more people than Marx ever did. Piketty is only focused on the […]

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; there is a lot of hype from the gold bugs that the dollar will collapse July 1st because of the new FATCA reporting requirements.

COMMENT: Marty; I have to say this was the best conference you have done since 2011. It was the most organized and the live demo of talking to the website was unbelievable.

Nonetheless, the real issue is the cold war is back in full […]
