Why US GDP Figures Mean Nothing

Here’s a meaningless abstraction for you, Fellow Reckoner. US GDP grew at an annualised rate of 1.7% for 2011. Now, what does that sentence actually tell us?

Australia Forgets the Little People

How about that? Contrary to our gloomy disposition yesterday, the stock market has taken off like a rocket this morning. The material sector is up 2.9% today alone. It was the worst performing sector in Australia on the ASX in 2011, down 25% thanks to lower commodity prices.

Incredible Threat

Last week, Mr. James Bullard was being both cagey and clairvoyant. The president of the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank noticed what everyone else has seen for months; the US economic recovery is a flop. GDP growth was last measured pottering along at a 2.4% rate in the second quarter, less than half the speed of the last quarter of ’09.

The ‘flations

Why would gold go down so much? Because people are finally realizing that deflation is the real risk, not inflation. Gold could continue to slip and slide for a long time now… It’s hard to say.

Stimulating What?

If the economy tries to revert back to providing something of value, it will notice that capital, resources and employment will have to be reallocated. This is not a fun process. It is called a depression. But if you don’t have the depression, you will continue to misallocate the capital into malinvestments, which turn out to be worthless to the economy in real terms.

Government Insulation Program an Exercise in Fraud, Waste and Incompetence

Think about that again – the death of four young people is directly linked to government policy – and no one has been fired, lost a job, or held accountable for it at all. If, for example, four diggers were killed in Afghanistan after being sent on poorly planned mission, what do you think the coverage in the media would be like?

China Defiance of Global Recession is a Super Bubble

About a decade ago, the Chinese government chose a policy of growth at any cost. China’s leaders considered strong GDP growth essential for political survival and national stability.

Almost Every Mortgage Written Last Year Underwritten by US Government

And they took over the auto business too. They should be able to do for autos what they did for passenger trains. That is, they should turn Detroit into an Amtrak…

How Does an Economy Expand When the Banks are Lending Less Money?

We believe the “expansion” reported in the GDP figures is mostly counterfeit. It’s government spending and hot money filtering into the economy.

    “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.

    Find out why, right here
