COMMENT:  Hello Mr Armstrong, just want to share with you an interview today with Mr Draghi in the Dutch newspaper ‘De Telegraaf’ (June 21st 2014). I had google translated the text but made some modifications here and there. Hope you can still understand it. Draghi wants more power to Brussels, that’s quite clear from the […]

I previously reported that our sources were reporting that central banks were starting to buy shares to diversify their reserves. All of our sources in Asia and Europe have been reporting this trend. So while the talking heads keep preaching the crash and sell equities, the retail market may not be buying this market yet […]

I have been warning that there will be no solution without a massive debt default. This is simply the way it has historically always gone down.

QUESTION: What is ‘modern day’ currency devaluation? I have read your articles about the 1930s devaluation and I also do understand what money is (thanks to your writings).

We are seeing pressure on the labor market still has not fully recovered from the financial crisis and recession. We are at twice the level where we were prior to the economic turn in 1929 that became the Great […]

  COMMENT: They should title it ….”protesters protest corruption” Of course these small time medias are in the pockets of someone else. REPLY: Sometimes the small media just publishes events because it is news and they do not think about what is behind it. The major networks clean everything.

The Treasury Department saw the weakest demand since August 2011 in a sale of 30-year Treasury bonds today. The demand for long-term bonds that has driven interest rates well below the old benchmark of 8% has been the rise in demand for pensions. As the Baby-Boomers were getting closer to retirement, the bid for “safe” […]

What is happening in Donetsk is by the classic book on how to wipe out an economy. The banking system has shut down. The banks simply have said it is too dangerous for their staff to work. The only way to get any money is using a bank card but that will soon run out. Ukraine’s […]
