Bernanke Dares The World
I the U.S. economy remains weak for some time, traditional inflationary pressures may seemingly stay at bay even as the foundations that support the dollar continue to be undermined by unsound monetary and fiscal machinations. Currency collapses are not forecasted by the monthly inflation readings, but instead tend to erupt from the guise of dormancy all at once.

He Did It His Way (Unfortunately) (Greenspan Exposé)
With the Fed stepping up to combat the popping housing bubble, dysfunctional credit markets, and opaque Wall Street balance sheets, it is clear that confidence in the marketplace has been replaced, perhaps permanently, with confidence, or lack thereof, in the Fed...

2009 Outlook: Angling For A Recovery
Unwilling to let the free market work, U.S. policymakers have adopted the audacious goal of trying to kick-start a deeply flawed financial system; a system grounded upon unsustainable increases in asset prices and debt. Not unlike the 2003 ‘recovery’ that was backed by cheap money and regulatory neglect, these policies are destined to fail.

After General Bernanke Destroys The Deflationary Threat
Perhaps all that can be assured amidst this buildup of uncertainty is that the only global currency that doesn’t represent the increasing liabilities of governments, gold, will benefit if current trends persist.

Bears Wait for the Dam To Break
Being wrong about short-term movements in stock prices is not the same thing as losing money.  Those that did well in the late 1990s as well as in 2000, 2001, and 2002 (three devastating years for stocks) were those that never bought into the idea that stocks were in a new paradigm, and those that will likely do well in the years ahead are those that chose not to chase rising asset prices today.

With Liquidity The Overriding Story Thematic Mariners Beware
As potentially dangerous amounts of liquidity in the marketplace congeal with a profound air of contradiction, attempting to smell out big theme opportunities is akin to trolling an overfished river at high noon: both the timing and location are unlikely to yield a catch.

The Long-Term Consequences of The Long-Term Bailout
It is going to take another LTCM before the regulatory window of opportunity opens.  The hope is that by then the working group on financial markets will be more concerned with the long-term integrity of the financial markets than about orchestrating another band-aid bailout.

Since the current gold bull began in 2002 – or when the price of gold finally held above $300 an ounce - the Commitments of Traders report (COT) has been a crystal ball.

The Unwinding of a Once Energized Consumer
The Stimulus brothers, Greenspan and Bush, may be able to keep the U.S. economy afloat a little bit longer. However, can any amount of stimuli stop the U.S. economy from soon sinking back into a consumer led recession?

The Hashimoto Factor
The United States needs foreign investment now more than ever before, and this is unlikely to change at any point in the foreseeable future. The U.S. economy and the bubbles inherent to its financial markets are only sustainable so long as foreign capital (and those who control it) is placated.

Abby Ignores Ominous P/E Patterns
Those analysts currently making bullish claims on equities do not quantify their predictions based on earnings.  What the analysts do is provide a deterministic bull market model; biased theory grounded on the notion that investors will ultimately increase their risk premiums.
