Real Estate and its Trend-line

That leaves real estate. That’s why people want to put money in real estate. It’s priced at fair value – statistically. So, you can buy it without worrying too much about it going down. And it’s not like gold. You can get income from it. Everybody is looking for rental properties with a decent stream of income.

Economists With Their One-stop Solution: Stimulate Consumer Spending

Gold… Selling is the Hardest Part

Ten years ago, everyone on the planet knew gold was a “Sell.” (Incidentally, everyone also knew that JDS Uniphase and Pets.com were “Buys.”) Investors scorned it. Central bankers sold it.

Gorbachev and the Most Complete Test in Economic History

Readers may know Mikhail Gorbachev as a fellow who advertises Louis Vuitton luggage. But before he made it big as a mannequin, he was the top man in the Soviet Union. It was not an easy job.

The Government Bureaucrats of East Germany Exist in the United States of America Today

Have the Feds Given the Economy a Miracle Drug?

Twenty years ago today…the Berlin Wall came down. This marked the end of the greatest controlled experiment in economics ever conducted. What did economists learn? Nothing…

Bubble Age Jobs Lost Because of Recession

Millions of people, for example, earned their money in ‘housing.’ They were putting up houses in the sand states…or building granite countertops…or selling, flipping, financing the houses.

Why Do Men and Women Want Money and Power?

At least as practiced by the leading macroeconomists of our time – such as Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner and Larry Summers. It’s just a show-off sport…the idea is to impress the world with some fancy data-heavy formula…win the Nobel Prize and save the world.

The Banks Should Hold More Capital

The US system of capitalism has become a system where the capitalists have no capital. The big banks have too little in savings…not enough ‘buffers’ to protect them from unexpected crises. They made a fortune during the boom years…

Ben Bernanke Averts a Second Great Depression

According to the popular version, Ben Bernanke, our flawed hero, has averted a Second Great Depression. When the crisis came in ’07-’08, he calmly took out the text he had written himself: “Dummies’ Guide to Avoiding a Japan-style Deflation”…or something like that.

Roubini Says United States Will Climb Out of Recession Towards End of Year

Maybe he will be right. Maybe this downturn will resemble Japan’s multiple recessions over the last two decades. Or maybe it will be a single, deeper and longer lasting slump – like the one in the early ’30s. We don’t know. Either way, it should be thought of as a depression…

Take Away Stimulus Spending and You’ve Got an Economy Entering Depression

Yes, now the economy is firing on all cylinders…or just about. Yep. No doubt about it. Still, there are some nagging doubts. The latest figures show foreclosures still increasing – up 7% in July from a year before. And house prices are still going down.

Why Weren’t Economists On Top of This Thing?

Even Alan Greenspan admitted he had “found a flaw” in his own thinking. We will have to imagine the giggles from the back of the room – if anyone had been awake. It was as if Stalin had confessed to being rude to his mother…

Is Today’s Market More Volatile Than Past Markets?

“Consensus is beginning to emerge among economists and market analysts that the recovery in the Australian share market will be sustained, and some brokers are encouraging their clients to start buying now,” reports an article in today’s Age. As the Mogambo says, “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

    “Why a mining executive told me to F*** Off
    in front of a whole room of investors”
    Dr. Alex Cowie doesn’t have the most popular of jobs. At least – not inside the mining industry. For his readers, it’s another matter entirely.

    As Laurence says: “I have never bought a stock and got a 100% return before … thanks for providing the information for me to have that experience – and all within two months too!”

    Right now Alex has unearthed six “must buy” resource stocks for the year ahead. His method for finding them might annoy a few people in the industry… but it could help make a lot of money in 2012 too.
