Years (and years) ago, I was an unskilled 17- year-old who needed a job. So I drove out to a “foundry” (a factory that makes things out of molten metal) on the edge of town and asked if they needed any more workers. They said yes, hired me on the spot, and enrolled me in […]

Inflation Chronicles: Even Solar Prices Are Soaring
Solar panels are basically microprocessors, so it’s not a surprise that they’ve been following their own version of Moore’s Law, declining in price by 5%-10% each year. As a result, solar is now competitive with fossil-fuel-derived electricity in a growing number of markets. Even unlikely places like Saudi Arabia, awash in oil and natural gas, […]

Inflation Is A Problem Here But An Existential Threat Over There
Here in the US, prices are rising, packages are shrinking and shelves are emptying. This is annoying, but it’s not (yet) the stuff of revolutions. The same, alas, can’t be said for some other places. One of the Wall Street Journal’s many recent articles on inflation contains this ominous section (emphasis added): The large central […]
Joe Rogan Shows How To Interview CNN
The mainstream media seems baffled by its sudden loss of credibility. But it shouldn’t be. All someone from CNN or MSNBC or Fox has to do is watch one of their own shows, then immediately pull up something by a legit reporter like Matt Taibbi or Glenn Greenwald. The difference between real journalism — defined […]
Yep, This Is Probably How Most Of Us Die
There’s a popular video series on YouTube that chronicles the evolution of robot-maker Boston Dynamics’ creations. Not so long ago these things had trouble walking up stairs.

Chinese Real Estate Imploding?
As China’s massive (and massively corrupt) real estate developer Evergrande circles the drain, an anxious world is wondering if this is an isolated and therefore manageable problem, or the first in a cascade of failures that threaten to pop the everything bubble. On Monday a second domino fell: China’s Property Fantasia Turns Nightmarish (Wall Street […]
Today’s Chart: This Gold Bull Market Has Years To Run
The recent back-and-forth precious metals action has left a lot of people frustrated with both the metal and the “permabulls” in this space. Fair enough. Gold has almost doubled from its 2015 low, but it’s done so in a really boring way, which is the ultimate crime in the blow-off stage of a financial bubble […]

How Can Houses Be Unaffordable AND Booming?
Home prices have never been higher when compared to the average family’s income. This kind of imbalance is normally a sign of an impending crash in home sales, followed by a drop in prices. But that’s not happening. Some recent headlines: Home prices set records in July; Tampa 4th highest in nation With no slowdown […]
The Strangest ‘Safe Haven’ Asset Ever?
Not so long ago, companies that make recreational vehicles were great indicators of market tops. Since RVs were frequently the final pointless toy that people bought (after motorcycles, boats, and massive pickup trucks) in the debt orgy that defines late-stage credit bubbles, booming RV sales often presaged a stock market crash – which then sent […]
