China – The Bounce

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong. Everyone knows why the bankers hate you. They say you have way too much influence. You come out and say Shanghai should bottom tomorrow and it does. Obviously, you are the man no matter what you say. RN REPLY: We have a model that is great on time and price, but that […]

Real Estate – the Peak is Here

I reported that we sold my mother’s house in one week. I too follow our model. The bounce in real estate into 2015.75 seems to be unfolding on time. What will make the peak is a rise in taxes. You have Chicago looking to raise taxes by 30%. Even in Texas there are growing protests over tax increases everywhere […]

DFT of Netherlands Poll: 60%+ of Dutch Want Out of Euro

The leaders of the EU are on a collision course with the population of Europe. This is now moving beyond Greece. Even in Northern Europe in Germany and the Netherlands, we are starting to see the majority of people wanting out of the euro – if they were allowed to vote. So wait until the […]

Jade Helm

A lot of emails have been coming in about Jade Helm, a highly secret and most controversial U.S. Special Operations exercise that created a flood of conspiracy theories about a government takeover.

The TRUMP Card

The London Property Market is Crashing

British politicians have just made the same stupid mistake as the American Democrats who created the S&L Crisis of the 1980s. In the U.S., they were greedy and changed the tax status on real estate to increase taxes. They created a one-way market of all sellers. British Conservatives have just done the same thing, sending […]
