Rivers of Money

The S&P and the Dow are hitting new highs...with the S&P recording 32 new highs so far in 2025. The S&P has seen earnings grow 156% over the last decade. But stock prices have gone up 248%.

Shutdown

Both the stock market and the economy are now growing — but only because of a whirligig of ‘capex’ spending on AI...which is most likely money down the drain.

Roll Out the Barrel

The real promise of gold is not just a rate cut or two...and not really ‘easier borrowing costs.’ Gold may be a good gamble now...but in the long run it is just a way not to lose money.

The new money system distorted just about everything, leaving the world with a vast fake economy...and more than $300 trillion in debt. In the US alone total debt rose from about $1.5 trillion in 1971

All Eyes on an Irrelevant Fed

The Fed dominates headlines, but James Rickards argues its power is more illusion than reality. Real money creation happens in the banks, not at the Fed. And when U.S. rates fall, it’s not stimulus — it’s a recession warning. For UK investors, the lesson is clear: don’t watch the Fed’s theatre. Watch the markets that will shape your pension, your gilts, and your savings.

It's a Trap

Thanks largely to the EZ money era wrought by America’s funny money, the world’s reserve currency, feds everywhere spend too much money. Economies adapted to the cash flow.
