January 19, 2008 Economics | 2 Comments

Do something you idiot.

It’s incredible how a Professor who earned much of his fame by criticizing the Federal Reserve’s ineffective communication strategy is proving to be one of the most incompetent communicators in recent history.

Why bankrupt banks may be good for America

There are too many 20-somethings running around Wall Street making tens of millions of dollars every year. They actually think that’s normal, it’s not. In any economy there is a finite amount of money available to be spent without introducing inflation and allocating a disproportionate amount of that money to financial institutions is a great way to create the conditions for inevitable collapse.

How to save America

January 18, 2008 Economics | Leave a Comment

The fundamental problem with America’s economy is an obsession with wasteful consumption. Until that is resolved, nothing will change in the long run. It has become normal and acceptable for people to exploit easy credit for housing, cars, appliances, electronics, or anything else you can charge to your plastic card.

Street goes mad

January 17, 2008 Business | Leave a Comment

Let me see if I understand, people are depressed about a coming economic recession so they panic sell everything in exchange for… cash? That may be a natural instinctive response but it makes no sense in an inflationary cycle, especially when a stimulus package is on the way from Congress and the Fed has promised deep rate cuts. Why the hell would you hold US dollars when inflation is higher than it’s been in decades?

Project for a new Chinese century

January 16, 2008 Economics | Leave a Comment

It’s ironic how the nutcases pushing an actively hegemonic American foreign policy in the name of preserving American power will ultimately be responsible for destroying it. The ineffectiveness of central planners, whether they be in government or in central banks, to tame foreign nations or calm unnerved markets is evidence the elite are losing control. Insiders readily admit nobody has a clue how to handle this colossal shift of power.

Investment strategies for an irrational world

January 16, 2008 Business | Leave a Comment

Everyone should invest their money, the last thing you want to do in an inflationary cycle is depend on cash as a store of value. But if you’re not prepared to work hard than you should leave decisions up to someone else. I would recommend periodically seeking advice from an educated friend or family member to keep you on track – but verify with a few sources, relying on people who have little knowledge but sound authoritative can get you in trouble. Stock brokers are generally useless, their only function is to deliberately complicate the entire process and intimidate you into feeling as though you need them.
