COMMENT FROM ONE OF OUR MAJOR HEAD INSTITUTIONAL TRADERS Hi Marty, Looking at your blog I am surprised you ever have time to sleep! Your last article about Cb’s floating ideas just to see what happens is right on point! In Japan the stories always appeared in the gaijin newspapers – just to see how […]

Argentina did it. Poland will take over and cancel its government bonds held by its privately managed pension funds. This will stop just shy of actually “nationalizing” the system as it seeks to curb public debt. Socialism is completely falling apart. Thank you Karl Marx for selling this crap to politicians who just never saw a […]

COMMENT: Hi Mr. Armstrong, I enjoy reading your blog everyday, and thank you for your thoughts and for sharing your expertise.  This article which just appeared on cbc.ca’s website is about how public pensions need to be reformed within the province of Alberta Canada, and how the union is against this.  Please refer to the […]

The Fed said that it would continue buying bonds at an $85 billion monthly pace for now, expressing concerns that a sharp rise in borrowing costs in recent months could weigh on the economy.

In the states they manipulate the CPI to render inflation irrelevant and impossible. In Spain, they now will stop indexing pensions altogether because they cannot create a fake CPI as the US does. There will no longer […]
