Will A False Flag Iran War Cause A Financial Crisis?
Just a couple of weeks ago the financial world’s biggest worry was the plunging price of oil. Supply was up, stockpiles were building and speculation was pointing towards $40 a barrel, a price at which the fracking/shale oil “miracle” would evaporate. A trillion dollars of related junk debt would default, taking a big part of […]

Banks Get Approval To Seize Your Savings Account
Sponsored: If your bank fails, so does your deposit. Bank seizures have already occurred in Spain during the 2012 banking crisis. Since then, they have also happened in Cyprus, Greece and they are now perfectly legal in the United States thanks to a clause in the Dodd-Frank bill. If a “too big to fail” bank […]
Something Huge Just Happened In Europe
Critics of modern monetary policy have been predicting that the day would come when a central bank would cut interest rates (or at least promise to), and the financial markets, instead of throwing a party, would fall. Then it would be game over for easy money. This has yet to happen in the US. Both […]
America’s Day Of Reckoning Has Begun
Sponsored: Trump’s deadliest enemy just unleashed Hell … His most dangerous enemy is a shadowy group wielding unprecedented power that earlier this year set off a deadly chain of events that not only threaten Trump, but could leave America unrecognizable. The way you earn, spend, save and invest is about to be changed forever. America’s […]
Gold Tests Resistance – Again. Will The Sixth Time Be The Charm?
Here we go again. After a couple of big trading sessions, gold – for the sixth time in five years – is approaching the $1,350-ish level that has, each previous time, stopped it cold. It looks like fundamentals, including the Fed’s capitulation to choppy stock markets and trade-war related economic uncertainties, are trumping gold’s usual […]

The Fed Dusts Off “Whatever It Takes”
The most consequential words ever spoken by a central banker are, without doubt, ECB chair Mario Draghi’s 2012 promise to “do whatever it takes” to stop the bleeding of the Great Recession and keep the eurozone from spinning apart. Specifically: “Within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the […]
A Troubled World Means A Stronger Dollar – For Now
You’d think that the more trouble the US causes around the world, the weaker the dollar would trade. Who, after all, wants to own the currency of the country perceived by most to be the source of today’s long list of trade conflicts and dirty wars? Apparently everyone, in a dynamic that’s been defying logic […]
Slowing Economy, Plunging Stocks Are Forcing The Fed’s Hand
A few short weeks ago, the economy seemed to be growing, the trade war looked winnable and the Mueller Report appeared to take presidential impeachment off the table. And then… The economy hit a rough patch. Auto sales are down and home sales are way down. This morning: Pending home sales fall, marking the 16th-straight […]
This Cycle’s Most Dangerous Bubble, In Three Charts
One of the lessons of the past few decades’ boom/bust cycles is that each financial bubble emerges in a different asset class. In the 1970s it was precious metals, in the 1980s junk bonds, in the 1990s tech stocks and in the 2000s mortgage-backed bonds. Today the only one of these with a reasonable chance […]

Stumbling Towards Chaos: All This Happened In Just One Week
Every week is eventful these days. But the most recent one stands out for sheer edge-of-the-abyss when-it-rains-it pours diversity. Some of the highlights: US stocks fell for the 5th straight week “logging the longest weekly losing streak since June 2011.” The US yield curve inverted decisively as long-term Treasury yields plunged. Past yield curve inversions […]
Financial Markets To Federal Reserve: Time To Start Cutting Rates
In late 2018 the US stock market tanked, in effect holding a gun to its own head and threatening to pull the trigger unless the Fed stopped raising interest rates. The Fed, painfully aware that an equities bull market is an existential threat in today’s hyper-leveraged world, quickly caved, promising no more rate increases if […]
