February 5, 2024 | Capital Flow Analaysis
COMMENT: I found Lagarde’s comment about “those savings actually stay here to finance what needs to be financed” to be an admission that they are well aware of Socrates.

February 4, 2024 | Industrial Size Surplus
Modern economies, even small ones, are unfathomably complex. The number of variables is far more than any human can comprehend or any model can track. It’s really no wonder so many forecasts are wrong. In my 2024 forecast letter I predicted “A Muddle-Through Year.” That’s still what I expect… but not for everyone, nor for every […]
February 4, 2024 | Wall Street Guns Its Perpetual Motion Engine
Here are a couple of headlines concerning the economy that appeared atop Bloomberg’s front page on the same day last week. Taken together, they could make one’s head spin.

February 2, 2024 | Judge Postpones Trump’s Trial Indefinately
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who has Trump’s Washington case brought by Jack Smith, wrote an order that means something is wrong.

She wrote: “The court […]
February 2, 2024 | Canada Might Abandon Its Inflation Target in a Recession
The Bank of Canada (BOC) held interest rates steady at 5 percent in January, highlighting growing weakness in the Canadian economy.

February 2, 2024 | A Big New Development
A recent development in COMEX silver futures positioning has been unusual enough that I didn’t detect it at first, because it has been somewhat gradual.

Civil War?… So the US opens its borders and millions of people stream across. Border states are inundated, and Texas blocks one of the more popular illegal entryways with razor wire.

Farmers throughout the world have been protesting the increasing regulations on agriculture.
