| 2018: The Year of Living Dangerously |
| There is one redeeming benefit to writing "forecasts": they invariably and inevitably reduce you to a quivering mass of humility as the hubris born of luck and circumstance is replaced with the reality of randomness. I have been reading research reports for years and the most useful portions are those where an analyst goes back and reviews his/her reasons for owning something, and then a year later explains why it was flawed.
Interestingly, it is uncanny how random events otherwise known as "bThursday, January 4, 2018 |

| 2.5-Nuff Said, Part lll-Why Rates Will Never Be “Allowed” To Rise |
| It’s Friday morning, on what could be a key inflectionary day in monetary history. Which is quite the extraordinary statement, when considering that mere minutes ago, I was, for once, having trouble formulating the day’s principal message. That said, when I looked through my notes – of the past 24 hours’ articles; and comments I jotted down about various topics; two charts caught my eye – which subsequently, catalyzed the revelation of why rates will never be “allowed” to rise. That is, untilFriday, July 14, 2017 |

The Federal Reserve Is A Saboteur – And The “Experts” Are Oblivious
I have written on the subject of the Federal Reserve’s deliberate sabotage of the U.S. economy many times in the past. In fact, I even once referred to the Fed as an “economic suicide bomber.” I still believe the label fits perfectly, and the Fed’s recent actions I think directly confirm my accusations.
Back in 2015, when I predicted that the central bankWednesday, June 28, 2017 |

| Precious Metals-Dirt Cheap Insurance, In An Increasingly, Explosively PIMBEEB World |
| With each passing day, I don’t just think, but know the world cannot, and will not, survive the collapse of history’s largest, most destructive fiat Ponzi scheme without “thousand-year-flood”-like changes in the global political, economic, social, monetary; and likely, military landscape.
These changes have unquestionably begun in “second” and “third world” nations with undversified economies, unstable political regimes; and of course, fiat currencies that can’t be abused – like the dollar, EuroTuesday, June 6, 2017 |

| Reader Asks: Can the Bubbles Last Forever |
| Reader Bob wants to know if the Fed can keep various bubbles levitated forever. Here is his specific question followed by my response.
Hi Mish,
Thanks for the great website. I read it every day. With the changes in the rules of the Fed from TARP, I have come to question how things will ever change. I believe the Fed will never raise interest rates (of any consequence). I think the Fed will buy assets in any crash in stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.
What if a law required that no real estate be Saturday, April 22, 2017 |

| Precious Metals Are in Alignment for a Major Ascent |
| "Every stock market bull out there whether in New York or London or Mumbai or Beijing is in a drunken myopia of elevated expectations and deviated denial scrambling and scratching and pleading for assurances that 'it is truly different this time.'"
Writing a missive such as this one has been a labor of love for me since the mid-1980s when I began to observe how stock market investors behaved at or near major inflection points—meaning "tops" and "bottoms." It all began in London, Ontario, in theThursday, March 30, 2017 |

In Part One of this article I exposed the establishment narrative of a strong economy as rubbish by providing hard data regarding imploding gasoline usage, failing bricks and mortar retailers and plunging restaurant sales.

Pressure: “Culpable For Our Bubble Economy And Trying To Shift Blame Before A Collapse”  |
| This article was written by Brandon Smith and originally published at Alt-Market.com.
Editor’s Comment: What goes up must come down. This action has been planned for sometime. It is clear that the Federal Reserve pushed the QE liquidity bubble to its absolute extremes during the Obama years, knowing all along that it would simply raise rates once the ride was over. Now that this is beginning to happen, at the timing of the Fed’s choosing, it is being dumped on the Trump Administration. And PresiThursday, February 23, 2017 |

| Italy's Bank Rescue Foreshadows Nationalization of More EU Banks |
| On December 7, 2016, Italy's Prime Minister Matteo Renzi resigned following defeat in a national referendum, that he had supported, that would have changed the country's parliamentary system. The development, which represents just the latest sign of anti-EU sentiment spreading throughout Europe, was felt acutely by Italy's troubled banking sector. In particular, the Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MdP) has been teetering on the brink of collapse and now may stand as a case study that may be encThursday, January 26, 2017 |

| Trump Takes The Final Currency War Thermonuclear, Puts Gold Cartel On Notice! |
| It’s the rare day I wake up to see news so powerfully Precious Metal bullish – regarding its short and long-term implications – I can barely contain myself. The last such event was the BrExit – which set into motion the inevitable collapse of the European Union and Euro currency as we know it. Which, seven months later, appears more certain than ever – and perhaps, if this year’s Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Catalonian elections and legislative actions trend in the direction I anticipatTuesday, January 17, 2017 |

| Government Stimulus is an Oxymoron |
| The accumulation of Debt, at its very essence, is simply borrowing consumption
from the future. And this is true on any level of debt, be it either public
or private. Just as savings is deferred consumption, the exact opposite is
true for debt. Therefore, it can only be beneficial in the long-term if it
leads to an expansion of productivity in the present. If the funds borrowed
do not improve output per unit of labor it is much more difficult to pay back

| A Tear For America-And One Last Ray Of Hope |
| Yesterday (Friday) was one of the worst days of my life. Not because the Cartel did it’s “same old” thing, in relentlessly capping Precious Metals amidst some of the most “PM bullish, everything-else-bearish” headlines to date – although interestingly, they have been massively, frenetically covering their COMEX short positions in the past two weeks. And not because America’s “powers that be” are hell bent on Nuclear and/or Cyber World War I with Russia; simply, in my view, to divert attention Monday, October 17, 2016 |

| Over the years, we have written multiple times about the system of Keynesian economics, its dysfunction, and the fact that it is a pure lie. This has all been well-documented from studies, observations, right down to remarks made by Keynes himself regarding the long-term viability of his new faux economics.Wednesday, September 21, 2016 |

A decade after the first cracks of the Financial Crisis appeared – and six years since the Dodd-Frank law was enacted to prevent another Financial Crisis and to pave the way for resolving too-big-to-fail banks when they fail – Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, and “some other banks” are still trying to delay implementation of the new rules.
These banks are asking the Fed to grant them an additional grace period of five yearsSunday, August 14, 2016 |
