First Step: Watch this video on Canadian Healthcare Did you watch the video? I would embed it so you can watch it here, but it seems that due to technological limitations (or decisions) that isn’t going to happen. And no I’ve decided against figuring out how to circumvent such actions. So, click the link already. [...]

… is exactly where the market was back in March when the S&P 500 hit 666. Everyone thought the world was coming unhinged, and well it was and still is. However, not everything comes tumbling down instantly. With every play there are acts, and at some point the climax. Without the climax how can we [...]

Bonds, bonds, bonds… United States Government bonds ARE the safest investment in the world besides cash. Right? They are aren’t they? I mean they are backed by the taxing power of the United States Government so they have to be. Well, sure you will get your money back at a measly 2.x% these days. Isn’t [...]

The theory was beautiful (well in the abstract)… Give troubled banks more credit and they will lend it out and the economy will stop its free-fall. Now, that sounds like utopia to me. Create credit and we will all be saved for unemployement, slowing production, decreased consumer spending, and rising interest rates. HOLD ON… let’s [...]

I received an email from a friend and here is my response. You ought to be able to decipher what the questions were about. These are my opinions of the present situation, and are by no means recommendations. —- 1) Voting for McCain… I really don’t think voting for A or B is going [...]

It seems that the tune to march to these days is credit o credit we need more credit. Somehow somewhere we forgot quite quickly that credit got us into this mess. If credit is expanding much faster than real economic growth the outcome will be instability in the economy. That is like an individual taking [...]

I agree that we are probably going to see a continued decline in commodity prices especially PMs. However, given the increases in the monetary supply I forsee this trend reversing. When the trend reverses, which isn’t going to happen immediately because we are headed towards a major recession, with unemployment rising, and more likely interest rates as well, inflation [...]

The United States’ Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) will stop publishing a key report tracking foreign direct investments (FDI) into the U.S. Through the discontinuation of the BEA’s “New Investment Series,” the U.S. government and the American public will no longer be able to distinguish between FDI used to acquire existing U.S. assets from FDI [...]
Hyperinflation, inflation, deflation, depression, recession, stagflation… well which is it? I have no clue, but there is a massive monetary inflation occurring, and a looming recession. Hmmm so does this mean a inflationary depression? Yikes. Last week I took a break from overwhelming myself about the markets and the state of the economy. The timing wasn’t [...]

Ironic that WaMu’s collapse happens to coincide perfectly with this bailout proposal trying to be hurriedly pushed through Congress. It will for sure pass now <that was my take last night><now we are seeing major hiccups in the process (thankfully)>. We have been sold out by various individuals in the United States Government. Very unfortunate [...]
