This week I caught another fascinating interview on the Financial Sense Newshour – with Harry S. Dent, author of The Great Depression Ahead. OK, so what’s so insightful about a guy publishing a next Great Depression in 2009? Well when it comes from the same guy that published The Great Boom Ahead in 1992, I […]
Here’s a good one with Marc Faber and Jim Puplava on the Financial Sense Newshour: http://www.netcastdaily.com/broadcast/fsn2009-0919-3b.mp3 The topic is – surprise, surprise – inflation/deflation. Faber used to be a deflationist – his book Tomorrow’s Gold is written in that perspective – and at some point, he found Fed Religion. I think Faber is fantastic, and […]
I have to admit – I think the Great Deleveraging permanently seared my psyche. I haven’t been the same since. It’s for the best. Until you live, and invest, through an event like that, I don’t think you can appreciate the awesomeness of the destruction. A history book just doesn’t do it justice. When it […]
Solid interview by Marc Faber on GoldSeek Radio last week. My notes are below, and you can listen to the interview yourself at the 1 hour mark via this link: http://radio.goldseek.com/ Overall, Faber thinks we’ve reached the bottom of the economic valley, but doesn’t expect a robust economy anytime soon Bernanke’s record as a forecaster […]
On Tuesday evening, we had our monthly meeting of local Casey Research subscribers. Really sharp investment minds in the group – it’s a real pleasure and treat to chat about a wide variety of finance and investing related issues. The general consensus of the group (fairly contrarian in nature) is that gold and cash are […]
I hope you had a good, long holiday weekend. I sure did…I mentioned at the end of the week that I’d be blogging when I wasn’t drinking beer. As you can probably infer from my lack of posts, I managed to put back a few with some good friends! Back in the saddle now, I […]
Thanks to our friend and guest author Jon Lederer for forwarding along these investor sentiments about gold: Are we heading for the decisive break above $1,000 that frustrated gold investors (my former self included) have been waiting for? Time will tell! What if gold does motor right through $1,000 en route to $1,100 and higher? […]
As financial pundits and common investors breath collective sighs of relief that “the worst is over” and “the bull is back”, let’s explore the possibility that 2009 may be following a script that was originally penned in 1930. After the initial crash in 1929, the markets staged a powerful rally that retraced 60% of these […]
Famed Silicon Valley law firm Fenwick & West recently release their latest Venture Capital Survey for the 2nd Quarter of 2009. The survey is a great resource, and I’d imagine an even better marketing/PR piece for Fenwick. Their survey results pretty much confirmed what I’m observing in the startup trenches here in Northern California – […]
Interesting times in the markets. US equities have now completed a standard fare “Fibonacci retracement” off of the March 6 lows. Now, where to from here? Bulls and bears alike conceded that a strong rally was quite probable. Now that it’s happened, what can we expect? There seem to be two or three prevailing market […]
