QUESTION:  Marty, I am an avid reader and a big fan. My mind now works much better than ever, and I am nearing my 60th year. Thank you for trying to better society in such a selfless way. My question for today is this…how do you do it? What I am referring to is the […]

COMMENT: As you say, future contracts are not immoral. What has created quite some problems in recent years was the ability to work with structurate finance using both futures and ability to speculate leveraging on margin. The combination of the two can be quite dangerous if most of the money are trapped here. As for money, […]

The IMF has now recommended that Switzerland should DEVALUE the franc by increasing its money supply. This is advice from the IMF run by a lawyer who clearly knows what she is doing because she worked in Chicago close the futures exchange at least.
