Investors are smarter than the fund managers on many occasions. They have been bailing out of the municipal bond markets for the last year. This is one of our strongest recommendations for far more cities will be going bankrupt after 2015.75 not just in the USA, but in Europe. Sell while you can and that […]

The information we had that Yanukovych suffered a heart attack appears to have been correct. Several reports are coming in that he survived, but is now in a Moscow hospital. This makes perfect sense because he suffered that on March 3rd the night before Russia’s ultimatum and the next day Putin strangely backed-off. The timing […]

QUESTION: Martin, I would be curious about your thoughts of the following resolution below. Note that the goal of this resolution is neither to sue the government nor to repeal ObamaCare.  It is simply for Texas to “not participate” with ObamaCare.

Governments, of every variety, are only interested in […]

For years, everyone had to go into the military at 18 male or female. However, the Orthodox Jews were exempt. Israeli is responding to what is coming as Putin tries to rebuild the Soviet Empire. He personally still see the world in empires based upon territory rather than productivity. Japan had nothing close to the […]

China has come out in support of Russia. This is the real cost of the NSA. Spying on  everything has cost America its respect and its allies. Obama is a lawyer, clearly not a political strategist nor a historian. If you are married and distrust your spouse to the point you monitor them, listen into […]
