Europe and the United States cannot compete for the future because their governments are like black holes sucking in the wealth of their own people and squandering it on unproductive forces. When we look at the former communistic empires of China and Russia, we see countries building from clean slates rather than imploding trying to […]

Sometimes you just have to be smacked in the face three times before you recognize when is happening. There is a rising tide that DEFLATION is starting to be seen as the real threat facing the world economy emerging out of Europe. I cannot stress enough that Europe is disintegrating before our eyes.

In Chine, the high in the Shanghai market remains 2007 and new lows are still possible going into 2014. The cash […]

  Everyone has heard that the diamond industry is a monopoly controlled by the De Beers Family of Companies. That perception has been the standard response because they in fact had such a monopoly beginning in the mid-1800s. That actually came to an end in 2000. There has never been a commodity exchange for diamonds […]
