September 13, 2024 | Chinese Bust Cycle is Contagious

From 2019 to 2022, rounds of “free” money courtesy of central banks and governments fuelled gullibility and blind risk-taking in many countries. The effects were particularly short-lived in China, the world’s second-largest economy, where consumer confidence has been moribund over the past three years (below since 2016).   Hampered by relatively low household incomes and […]

September 12, 2024 | Biden’s Attempt to Restrain the Supreme Court Warns the End is Near

This partisan part-time political hack we call President Biden has had the blatant gall to call for term limits on Justices of the Supreme Court only because the Democrats want the Court to rule as they see fit – not according to the Constitution. In HARRIS v. McRAE, 448 U.S. 297 (1980), a pregnant woman […]

    COMMENT #3: Thank you for your interesting feedback on the debate; I was also very surprised at how well Kamala performed. She appeared calm and collected. Trump, on the contrary, did not come across as a resolute winner. I do not understand why he had to mention things such as immigrants feeding on […]

September 11, 2024 | The Florida State Sunshine Bank: How a State-Owned Bank Can Protect Free Speech

Fifteen years have passed since the Occupy Wall Street movement focused attention on the inequities and hazards of large Wall Street banks, particularly those risky banks with trillions of dollars in derivatives on their books. “Move your money” was the obvious response, but what could local governments do?

September 9, 2024 | Stagflation Begins

Nine of the 12 Federal Reserve districts reported a decline in economic activity in August, up five districts from the July Beige Book report.

September 8, 2024 | Our #1 Bellwether Is at Cliff’s Edge

I continue to believe the bull market’s fate can be divined simply by paying close attention to price action in Microsoft shares. The company is not only the second-largest in the world by capitalization, slightly behind Apple; it is also the most important. That’s because its huge stream of revenues is all but impervious to […]

September 6, 2024 | A Weak U.S. Jobs Report

A weakening trend for the economy in the U.S. was confirmed on Friday. A recession is likely, although the official notification of recession will not come until 2025.
