Euro – Cycle Inversion or Phase Transition

QUESTION: Martin In your latest post you go into very good detail of how the Euro continues to be strong(although it has been noted the model expected it to fall) and that when the Euro does fall it will take the European markets with it. Are we to assume that if the dollar does rally it […]

JP Morgan Fines for Manipulation et al – Reaching $20 Billion

Beginning with February 24th, 2013, the tide has changed against the market manipulators and little by little the curtain is being pulled back to expose to the world what really is going on that the government and the media have ignored for so long. I have stood my ground against the banks that have engaged […]

Creating a Natural Hedge

QUESTION: Sir, like many others I was fleeced with the gold as money story and took my losses and moved on, particularly as I ingrained the principles of investing and practise the discipline of day trading – that of obeying the buy/sell signals and not falling in love with the trade. As a resident of Switzerland […]

Europe – What Crisis? DAX At New Highs

Many European shares have been the best performers in 2013 and the general optimism in Europe for 2014 is far more bullish than in the USA. Even Reuters’ poll of more than 350 strategists, analysts and fund managers, shows the expectations are for more gains. Indeed, looking at the Frankfurt DAX, its gains in 2014 […]

The Real Threats of 2014

We are facing 2014 perhaps with blinders on as a society. Western investors have largely ignored the trend in Europe, Japan, and China and are more likely than not going to be dramatically surprised. In Chine, the high in the Shanghai market remains 2007 and new lows are still possible going into 2014. The cash […]

The IMF & The Destruction of Capital Formation

  One question that rises to the surface immediately with the IMF proposal to confiscate 10% of everyone’s bank accounts in Europe, is what will this do to the Euro. Will the Euro rally or fall? The overwhelming misguided Dollar Haters who have preached the end of the dollar and rush out and buy gold […]

Here’s my question.  You often make reference to the fall of the Roman Empire.  The most famous book on the topic is the Rise and […]

Europe’s Practice of Cancelling Currency – The Dirty Little Secret Everyone Overlooks

QUESTION: Dear Mr Armstrong, What are the risks on cash savings under the mattress and the relation from the land serial codes on Euro notes and confiscations?.. Country codes on the first series of banknotes The central bank that commissioned the printing of a banknote (but not necessarily the country of printing) is indicated by […]

Iceland – The First to Fall – The First to Rise

QUESTION: Greetings from Iceland! Thank you for all the material you post on your blog! I wish I had come across your writings 40 years ago instead of just recently. Does your model include data and predictions for Iceland? Did it predict the collapse in 2008? What is the outlook for the next few years […]

It is all Connected – US Population Growth Collapsing & That Fits In Nicely with the Economic Collapse

Everything is connected. The correlations are complex yet predictable. I have stated numerous times that the more affluent a society becomes, the slower the growth rate. Then add uncertainty and it gets much worse. The population of Rome collapsed and this defeats the Ponzi scheme of how governments assume they will always have a rising […]
