Cautious investors (see Warren Buffett) with money on the sidelines want to know...Read More

Stretched to the LimitThere are good reasons to suspect that the bull market in US equities has been stretched to the limit. These include inter alia: high fundamental valuation levels, as e.g. illustrated by the Shiller P/E ratio (a.k.a. "CAPE"/ cyclically adjusted P/E); rising interest rates; and the maturity of the advance. The end of an era - a little review of the mother of modern crash pat...Read More
By David HaggithHow inflated with debt have we become? How long can we float on our own bloat? Reasonably trim in 1970, the sum of all debt publicly financed by the US government was $275 billion. Last week, the government sought to raise $258 billion in just one week! The weekly financing to keep the government afloat is now about equal to all the debt it amassed over the course of its first 18...Read More

By Dave KranzlerDr. Paul Craig Roberts sent me an article by Catherine Austin Fitts and asked if I had read it. The article is titled, "The State of America's Pension Funds." The article is worth reading, though I believe Ms. Fitts underestimates significantly the degree to which political and Wall Street criminality - along with money management incompetence - has infected and destroyed the U...Read More
