QUESTION: Hi Martin, I’ve never bought any cryptocurrencies,  and I understand and agree with your view on cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. Am I correct in my interpretation of your theories to believe that the ideal scenario is a world reserve currency that is not attached to any single nation? Is this even possible? Even though the […]

QUESTION: Martin, I have a friend who is concerned about the impact of Russia’s breaking with the petro dollar.  I explained to him your point that trade is a small piece of the world economy and that the dollar (which is really the U.S. debt market) is still the only market large enough to absorb […]

The Swiss Peg cracked because of the flight of capital from Euroland. There is still a risk that the money flows more into treasuries going into the end of the summer.

Against the dollar, we wrote at year-end “The Swiss is currently trading at 9934 and a mere year-end closing above 9785 will signal that indeed the 2011 low for the dollar will hold and that a test of the 11800 followed by […]

Sen. Dianne Feinstein is expected to pocket $1 billion from the Post Office for her family. These people are beyond greedy and they have the audacity to always blame the rich. Just amazing. Maybe the Greek cab drivers are right. Just where the hell do we start when corruption is everywhere?

  People have no idea the real level or taxation that they pay. A flight from Zurich to the USA runs $975. The actual air flight is $498 on United Airlines and the taxes are $477. A staff member from our Swiss office brought some chocolate as a gift for Christmas. What was about $300 […]
