John Williams’ latest commentary on the state of the U.S. economy and dollar: Extremely Difficult Circumstances in the Year Ahead: Confluence of Economic and Systemic Crises Should Intensify With Global Confidence in Dollar Rattled by Uncontrollable Fiscal and Monetary Excesses, ...

J.P. Morgan’s Expectations

Thursday, January 2nd, 2014

After a year of being battered, gold and silver stocks are being removed from the “hated” list.  I found the following article quite interesting: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/j-p-morgan-sees-golden-124041014.html

2,200 Tons of Gold

Tuesday, December 31st, 2013

This is the number of tons China imported in 2013.  It is equivalent to a year of world production.  Why are they buying all of this gold while Westerners are calling this a barbaric relic of the past?  As the price for a cup of coffee at IHOP moves steadily ...

Duality versus Unity

Sunday, December 29th, 2013

Duality creates competition and adversity.  Unity creates peace.  How simple does it get! When men are in unity, nothing is impossible.  This fundamental reality was at the source of the Tower of Babel’s dispersion: Genesis 11:5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower ...

100 Years of the Federal Reserve

Sunday, December 29th, 2013

As you can see by this graph, the 100 year history of the Federal Reserve has not proven to be successful.  Instead, it has caused more uncertainty especially after the elimination of the gold standard in 1971.

The Economic Day of Reckoning is coming

Tuesday, December 24th, 2013

Will it be 2014, 2015, or 2016?  I don’t believe it can be delayed beyond 2016.  At most,that is just 36 months away.  The actual U.S. Liability level stands at $220 Trillion and is growing.  It IS the elephant in the room that nobody is talking about.  In the meantime, ...

Targeting Target

Tuesday, December 24th, 2013

Having been in banking, finance, and information technology (IT) for nearly 42 years, I am not surprised by the hacking of 40 million debit/credit holders in the Target story.  I was on the team that installed the first ATM in Oklahoma back in the 1970’s.  I was able to “hack” ...

Perpetuating an Illusion

Friday, December 20th, 2013

The Federal Reserve is at the doorstep of its 100th anniversary.  As most everyone by now knows, it is a private institution, not a government entity.  Yes, it maintains some charade of being accountable, but in the end, it is independent and serves a small group of financiers.  Its goal ...
