What Happens When the World Economy “Goes Japan”

Bill Bonner — Tue, 15 May 2012 17:02:12 +0000

The Dow sinking. Gold sinking. Oil sinking. Copper sinking. Yields sinking. We struggled with this, Dear Reader. We meditated. We prayed. We drank heavily. And finally…we overcame the rank desire to say: “We told you so!” As you know, Martin Wolf, of The Financial Times, is the voice of The Economics Establishment. All that is [...]

Taxing the Rich to Fix the Economy

Bill Bonner — Thu, 10 May 2012 21:38:21 +0000

Gold down below $1,600! Is the bull market in gold finally over? Nah…let’s change the subject. Today, our hearts go out to the poor 1%… Yes, dear reader, they’re blamed for the crisis… They’re reviled, calumnied, and criticized… They’re hunted by the taxmen… And now they are being shunned by the very institutions they most [...]

Eurozone Economy Slows Down

Chuck Butler — Wed, 02 May 2012 15:35:30 +0000

Good day. Strangeness all around, folks. The U.S. government continues in their effort to make us all feel better, so we go out and spend, spend, spend. We have that to talk about today, along with the regular risk-on/risk-off discussion. The sun finally came out yesterday, which always makes me feel more alive. The tight [...]

Spain Enters its Second Recession in Three Years

Chuck Butler — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:09:32 +0000

Friday’s price action in the currencies was all about tight ranges, but if there was any bias, it was to sell dollars, especially after it was announced that the first print (they’ll be revisions coming) of first-quarter US GDP was 2.2%, down from the fourth-quarter’s 3% clip. We edge ever so slightly to the other [...]

Austerity Around the World

Bill Bonner — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 17:00:48 +0000

When things are going well, people vote for the status quo. When they aren’t going so well, they move farther out on the political spectrum. In France, a couple of years ago, both Melenchon on the far left and Le Pen on the far right were considered “politically dead.” Now, a few years of crisis [...]

A Positive Approach to the US Economic Downturn

Eric Fry — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 19:29:06 +0000

In the spirit of Good Friday, we’ll keep our message upbeat today. For starters, all government offices are closed. So there’s some good news right off the bat! The financial markets are also closed, which is probably good news for the holders of gold and silver. If the markets are closed, no one can enter [...]

Misguided Faith in an Economic Recovery

Joel Bowman — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 21:37:00 +0000

We watched last night the rows of cars below our balcony, snaking their way out of the pollution and congestion of South America’s second largest metropolis, out into the peace and calm of the surrounding campos and estancias. The usual rabble and riff-raff have left for the long weekend. The city is empty. And quiet. [...]

To Die and Let Live

Addison Wiggin — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 17:30:06 +0000

American civilization has become much more civilized during the last hundred years. In the process, ironically, it has become much more savage toward capitalism and free enterprise. One hundred years ago, most folks accepted adversity as an unavoidable facet of life. Childbirth was a high-risk endeavor. “Old folks” died at 50. Dysentery claimed more lives [...]
