A lot of people have been writing about Bill Gross leaving PIMCO and connecting that with us and our forecast that there is a coming bond collapse. I cannot comment on any client or who is a reader or not. Unlike the NSA, I believe in privacy. That aside, there has been talk of […]

COMMENT: Hi Martin, on the recent post about out of control government I can attest to at least 3 cases in the last 6 months. I work for a large coop FI and deal with people from all walks of life. Recently I had: 1) client was refused a permit after 4 months of applying for […]

A very interesting stage in the economic meltdown since 2007 is unfold quietly beneath the headlines. In Germany, the tax burden on the average person has exceeded 50%. The people may be powerless against the politicians so there is a new form of barter emerging that still uses money, but avoid taxes. How? After outrageous […]

COMMENT: Hi Mr. Armstrong. I have been in Portugal for the last week. Here too people are fed up with politicians. Even in the country side the cities and towns are building unnecessary infrastructure (example of roundabouts in every single small intersection) just so they can raise taxes.

The question of whether it is safe to travel in and out of JFK is a serious question. The only possible way to get government to be competent is to simply boycott JFK. Homeland Security pretends to protect American’s against terrorism, but they are incompetent to comprehend that instead of a bomb, just send as […]

  So far so good. The low may hold and a closing above 16331 today will help to relieve the selling pressure. A closing above 16660 will signal that we may see a further upside into the week of 11/03. Keep in mind this is a bubble in government bonds – not equities. Shaking the […]

A reader just sent in an old forecast from 1986. It stated back then the Sovereign Debt Crisis would begin 26 years from the birth of the G5 in 1985 = 2011. It then goes on to state that the potential for a new monetary system will emerge in 2016. This demonstrates what I have […]
