Doug Casey was a little bit early on his impending disaster call – like a decade or two – but he seems to be on the beat of this unfolding economic disaster right now. To Doug’s credit, Crisis Investing for the Rest of the 90’s is a fantastic read, even though the title is not […]
Regular readers are aware that we’ve been watching the Chinese market as a potential leading indicator for US equity markets for some time. Our astute readers aside, of course, the average financial slob (or pundit, if you will) seems unaware that the Shanghai Composite topped way back in August. When I posted this chart and […]

Crude oil has broken through the $80 mark once again – trading as high as $82 – before settling back in after hours trading due to “concerns about the US economic recovery.” Not even joking about that one. Crude’s on the loose! (Source: Barchart.com) Meanwhile the Chinese equity markets – the poster child of the […]

Christina Romer, chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, said Tuesday evening the main difference between last […]
In honor of our ongoing bear market rally – which appears to be getting a bit long in the tooth to say the least – I thought we should channel the wisdom and charisma of the legendary Peter Tomarken. You may remember Peter as the host of classic 80’s game show Press Your Luck. In […]
