A hurricane of debt, deficit, and demographics is heading to the shores of all developed economies. With it will come high inflation rates, high costs for credit, low growth rates, and weakening developed country currency value. Ben Bernanke in a helicopter will not stop the hurricane’s devastating path. More stimulus packages will not stop it. Blaming the Chinese for lending us too much money will not stop it. Pretending that the storm isn’t coming will most assuredly not stop it. It threatens to derail the lukewarm economic recovery and to alter forever the heretofore path of robust growth for the developed world. In a sense, debt, deficit, and demographics will reset the world to a “New Normal”. Words: 3341

Should you consider selling into any period of strength during the typical summer weakness? No, there are a number of reasons to continue holding gold during this time period. [Let me detail them one by one.] Words: 734

The opportunities expected to arise from investing in silver now are even more pronounced than those of gold. [Let me explain why that is the case.] Words: 1367

A close look at where silver's price is positioned at this stage of its developing long-term bubble, and by using Bump-and-Run and Dead-Cat Bounce pattern analyses, suggests that silver is on its way to returning to its long-term mean. Words: 624

Since the beginning of its bull market run back in 2002...gold has enjoyed consistently strong technical support at its 150-day moving average...[only] testing this...support once or twice a year, at most...and in each of the last 9 years, the one time that gold has consistently tested support... [has been] during the month of July. [Furthermore,] in 7 of these last 9 years gold has rallied strongly from this July support level to post gains of +22% on average through the remainder of the year. As a result, it [is important] to capture these opportunities when they present themselves - and such appears to be quickly approaching in the coming days of July. Words: 458

While most Western countries have serious debt problems none of them has a fiscal crisis as bad as that of the United States. In spite of that, however, the U.S. corporate-controlled media has been obsessively shining the spotlight on the so-called “PIIGS” of Europe rather than on the staggering financial crises facing America. If that weren't bad enough, it has become impossible to trust the few economic statistics that are "fed" us. Frankly, there is a conspiracy of silence about the truth but there are ways to become better informed. Words: 868

Get ready to be financially conscripted into a citizen army assembled for the greater cause of saving America from being swamped by a tsunami of debt as a new policy initiative known as "financial repression" takes hold. ‘Repression’ rhymes with ‘depression’ and that is what we may have to look forward to as rampant price inflation and permanently lower living standards take hold as a result. Let me explain. Words: 1797

The commercial investment industry [- from Wall Street to your personal financial advisor/planner -] is more interested in milking its clients for fees and spreading lies, deception and propaganda than in actually acting to preserve and build their clients’ wealth. In my opinion, “safe diversification” and “less volatile” strategies are nothing but pure absolute rubbish invented by and regurgitated from the mouths of such consultants. [Let me explain and show you some graphs to make my case.] Words: 1680

When velocity is low the nation essentially winds up in a "liquidity trap" which is a situation where monetary policy is unable to stimulate the economy either through lowering interest rates or increasing the money supply. This was the condition that Japan found itself enveloped in from 1989 to present. We expect the same problem in this country and hope (really hope) to be wrong. Words: 672

Yes, you read that right; get ready for the next housing boom. You're probably thinking, "How could that be with all the mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures going on, and the record levels of housing inventory? Well, it's not going to happen soon - [probably] not for several more years - but it's coming. [Let me explain to you why it is inevitable.] Words: 589
