Cameron loses fight with EU over allowing short-selling. The European politicians think they can prevent a collapse by outlawing short-selling. What these morons fail to grasp is that once a market turns down and confidence vanishes, the ONLY support is short-covering. Without that, you get the 90% declines as was the case during the Great […]

Sometimes you just have to be smacked in the face three times before you recognize when is happening. There is a rising tide that DEFLATION is starting to be seen as the real threat facing the world economy emerging out of Europe. I cannot stress enough that Europe is disintegrating before our eyes.

The Spanish are increasing penalties for protesting and threatening anyone who dares to film […]

  The IMF proposal to just take 10% of all European deposits would certainly not take place before the EU elections on May 25th. We do show higher volatility and a crazy period in 2014 in the September/October period. That will be the beginning of the crisis period that will not end until about 2020. […]

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?..
