QUESTION: Dear Martin, Do you expect all markets to align with the 2015.75 turning point (or the few months following, due to false moves)? Would, in this case, such an alignment correspond with high/low reversals in trend, and all markets would then align to the ECM into 2020? Thanks in advance SB ANSWER: The next three […]

QUESTION: Why was the confiscation of gold by FDR in 1933 a good thing? ED ANSWER: What you have to understand is that Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s (FDR) actions in 1933 were not directed simply at gold. This was the end of austerity, which is what was creating the serious economic depression. So, you must separate gold and […]

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her French counterpart Francois Hollande have called on Greece to make “serious” proposals. There is no such thing as debt forgiveness, as the German’s received in 1953. Merkel sold the euro under the pretense that there would be no bailout for southern Europe; any money lent must be repaid. So it […]

Luis de Guindos, Spain’s economic minister, illustrates that those in European government remain clueless. He said that Greece should remain part of the Eurozone and the euro. He bluntly stated what Mario Draghi said before – the Euro is irreversible. Without the euro, Brussels fails. The idea of federalizing Europe crashes and burns. Luis de Guindos said […]

The audacity of Christine Lagarde, who insulted the Greeks by categorizing the whole nation as tax cheats, is up there with Trump calling all Mexicans drug dealers. Lagarde said the problem was “all these people in Greece who are trying to escape tax”. This is up there with some of the most racist statements about Jews, […]

Voting today began at 7 AM local time in Greece and will continue until 9 PM. The polls show a virtually even split. We are likely going to see civil war unfold in Greece if this is a YES vote, for the youth will have absolutely no future under the oppression of Brussels and those who think […]

The obsession with austerity stems from Germany’s experience with hyperinflation. This is akin to the USA’s obsession with the deflation of the Great Depression. Both political groups and nations fail to understand the real causes of what they experienced so we end up with rising authoritarianism that will not end nicely. Austerity cannot continue when government continues […]
