Just a few months ago, California was running surpluses and spreading the wealth around — at least to its affluent voters and public sector employees — as if the good times were here to stay. Fast forward to the present and it’s all over. Tech stock IPOs – a huge source of capital gains tax […]

Who’s Getting The Biggest Bail-Out? Believe It Or Not, It’s The Gold Miners
With the exception of Amazon and Netflix, pretty much every big financial entity out there is lining up for a bailout. And governments everywhere are obliging. The European Union’s latest “relief” package totals nearly $1 trillion. Japan’s is even bigger, at $1.1 trillion. Even the Swiss National Bank is adding to its tech stock portfolio […]
Why The Gold/Silver Ratio Is A Useful Indicator
There’s a debate in gold bug circles over whether the price difference between gold and silver – the gold/silver ratio – tells us anything useful. Some skeptics, for instance, view the original gold/silver ratio of 15 — from America’s 18th century bi-metallic system – as just a political number pulled more-or-less out of thin air by […]

As Russiagate Morphs Into Obamagate, The Democrat Party Enters Civil War
Forget about Fox News and MSNBC. The really interesting stuff is happening outside the echo chambers, as progressive journalists declare war on the corporatist wing of the Democrat party.

Marcel Arsenault: Beware The “Lazy W”
Real estate investor Marcel Arsenault has racked up Warren Buffett-scale profits over the past few credit cycles by loading up on “empty buildings” at the bottom, filling them with paying tenants, and then selling at the top. In a recent message to investors, he warns that the current market is especially tricky. Here’s an excerpt: […]

Bankrupt Cities And States Get The National Disaster They’ve Been Hoping For
The people running states like New Jersey and cities like Chicago know they’re broke. Ridiculously generous public employee pensions – concocted by elected officials and union leaders who had to have understood that they were writing checks their taxpayers couldn’t cover – are bleeding them dry, with no political solution in sight. They also know […]

Is The Government About To LBO The Private Sector?
So it’s early 2021 and we’ve bought back most of the extant Treasuries, a big chunk of investment-grade corporates and agency bonds, even a significant part of the junk market. And the damn economy is still flat on its back. Guess ten trillion dollars isn’t what it used to be! But giving up isn’t an […]
Will Airbnb’s Implosion Trigger A Housing Bust?
It seemed like such a good idea at the time. Airbnbs were the next wave in hospitality, taking market share from hotels and motels and backed by a tech network that made running a virtual bed and breakfast fun and easy. So you borrow a bunch of money, buy a couple of houses, and put […]

Finally, It Matters What The Fed Can And Can’t Print
Sound money advocates have been proclaiming that “the Fed can’t print gold” pretty much since the end of the last gold standard in 1971. But no one outside our little echo chamber paid attention, fixating instead on what the Fed could print: trillions of dollars that were perfectly fine for buying anything a creditworthy person […]
