After two-quarters of contraction, many still do not accept that the US economy is in a recession. Federal Reserve officials have pushed against it, as has Treasury Secretary Yellen. The nearly 530k rise in July nonfarm rolls, more than twice the median forecast in Bloomberg's survey, and a new cyclical low in unemployment (3.5%) lent credibility to their arguments. If Q3 data point to a growing economy, additional support will likely be found.  While the interest...

When people ask why they should invest in gold or buy silver coins, we often explain that they should do so because they are a form of insurance. Many of us are taking steps right now to protect ourselves from the impact of inflation on our day-to-day spending, others are trying to manage the increase in interest rates and maybe you are preparing your home so your energy bills won’t be impossible to manage. These are all ways of insuring ourselves against major...

Events may show that there are no winners, only survivors and those who failed to adapt. Some recessions are brief, necessary cleansings in which extremes of leverage and speculation are unwound via painful defaults, reductions of risk and bear markets. Some are reactions to exogenous shocks such as war or pandemic. The uncertainty triggers a mass reduction of risk which recedes once the worst is known and priced in. Far less frequently, structural recessions are...

Wer die Geschichte nicht kennt, wiederholt ihre Fehler. Wer sie kennt, muss zusehen, wie die anderen [jene, die die Geschichte nicht kennen] die Fehler von Früher wiederholen. Es ist kaum auszuhalten. Täglich werden die vom Mainstream-abhängigen Leute mit Lügen, einseitigen Narrativen, unvollständigen Berichten und salbenden Worten in einer Blase der Wirklichkeit gehüllt, wie sie schon Truman Burbank in “The Truman Show” vorgesetzt wurde. Ich werde ein paar Fragen...

The events of the last few years have resurrected a recurring worry among people mindful of their liberty, property, and personal dignity. This worry centers around the prospects of the emergence of the notorious “new world order,” a worldwide totalitarian plot hatched by globalist “elites” intent on destroying the surviving remains of free speech, free enterprise, and free thought.
