Investing and Trading News, with a Contrarian, Sarcastic Twist!
Hindsight is 20/20, they say…and when you’re an economist, hindsight is often all you’ve got! The GDP revisions are coming in, and telling us what anyone engaged in US business knew full well – the recovery was not as robust as the stats indicated. Those damn lies! I would also add that if we’re down […]
Regular readers likely are casting a skeptical eye at the latest Greek bailout. When should we take this gift of respite to go short questionable European paper, and the euro itself, you ask? First let’s turn to one of our favorites, legendary hedge fund manager Felix Zulauf, who spoke some sense into Barron’s Alan Abelson: […]

Faber’s interviews with Jim Puplava are the absolute best, in my opinion. A few minutes is far too constraining for a mind like Faber’s – give the man some room to run! And Puplava does, with a 50+ minute interview that absolutely flies by. Faber tells all in this one, sharing his thoughts on QE3, […]
