If you ever wondered why the Dow Jones has rallied when all these domestic forecasters predict the collapse of the dollar and the Dow, the simple truth is they are so biased and married to this scenario of 1929 that they cannot see the nose in front of their face. They fail to grasp that […]

The most interesting of all events has just taken place. The U.S. Justice Department filed a civil complaint accusing McGraw-Hill and S&P of mail fraud, wire fraud and financial institutions fraud. Of course, nobody will ever go to jail since it is civil – not criminal. The real key is who did the filing – […]

We are on the verge of a very serious collapse in Europe. France has effectively rejected German austerity and if Merkel is replaced by the Socialists, there goes Europe.

I really do not understand why people insist that HYPERINFLATION must take place. That ASSUMES government will print to meet its unfunded obligations rather than just change laws and fail to meet promises. They are cutting entitlements already.
