Three Levels of Survival Skills  |
| The situations in which survival skills become desirable or even necessary cover a wide range of possibilities.
For example, if you are in what is euphemistically referred to as the "Golden Years," and your own government decides to manipulate interest rates to the point that the fixed income you rely on to survive falls into negative territory, survival skills will quickly come in handy, but survival skills of a different sort than, say, those required to stay afloat in a failed economy such as Zimbabwe. On that front, we'll hear from a Zimbabwean a bit further on.Friday, February 26, 2021 |

| How many ounces of gold can $1000 buy?
The answer over time is instructive. Here is some knowledge about money.
It is remarkable how few economists really understand this, and what it means, what it implies.
Here is Paul Krugman's opinion on the currency war and the US dollar in a recent piece called Godwin and the Greenback. I think it speaks for itself. And he is certainly not the worst economic voice out there, which is what makes this so disconcerting. At least he is not an ausSunday, October 25, 2020 |

| Currency War: 140 Years of Monetary History in Ten Minutes |
| Like most complex subjects reduced to a ten minute summation, there are plenty of nuances lost here, and one might certainly take issue with some of the conclusions. And the perspective of the discussion is largely centered on the US and Europe.
Nevertheless, I like the succinct overview of certain key events in recent world monetary history that lead up to the situation in which we find ourselves today.

 The full guide to Nazi gold and currency war |
| This morning’s papers and news-shows are full of the story that in 1939 the Bank of England facilitated the sale of Nazi looted gold, not just once but at least twice during that year. Both times without approval of the British government, despite an attempt to freeze Czech assets.
The story of Nazi gold is both fascinating and tragic. We take a look at ‘the greatest robbery of all time’ and draw parallels with the modern day gold migration.

The yuan blew through the symbolic line of seven to the dollar for the first time since the global financial crisis, with the offshore rate in Hong Kong spiking to 7.07 in moves that stunned seasoned traders.

| Dollar intervention risk rises as yuan's slide stokes currency war bets |
| The risk of U.S. intervention to rein in the dollar is rising as a tumbling Chinese yuan stokes speculation that a global currency war is getting underway.
Speculation is building that U.S. President Donald Trump may seek to weaken the dollar after China allowed the yuan to drop below the key level of 7 per greenback, strategists said. If the U.S. authorities do take action, this could sound the death knell of the strong-dollar policy that has been in place for more than two decades.

| The doomsayers have been calling for recession for years. Mainstream economists laughed at them, painting a rosy picture. However, the recent plunge in the stock market strengthened the pessimists’ hand. They interpret the dive as a signal of a coming recession. Is the end of the stock market boom really near?

| Gold, Bubbles, SP 500, and Currency Wars - Gary Christenson |
| From John Rubino: “We’ll Look Back At This And Cringe”
“Millions of people out there still
bear the psychic scars of buying gold at $800/oz in 1980 or a tech stock
at 1,000 times earnings in 1999 or a Miami condo for $1,000 per square
foot in 2006.
Today’s bubble will leave
some similar marks. But where those previous bubbles were narrowly
focused on a single asset class, this one is so broad-based that the
hangover is likely to be epic in both scope and cumulative
embarrassment.”

Gold remains generally well bid after once again nearing the high for the year at 1296.06 in earlier trade. Last week’s high at 1292.05 provides an intervening barrier.
The yellow metal rebounded strongly after the FOMC minutes from the July meeting revealed heightened concern over dimming inflation prospects. Former Fed insider Danielle DiMartino-Booth categorizes the minutes as “very dovish,” which further erodes the prospects for another rate hike this year. Ms. DFriday, August 18, 2017 |

Gold is consolidating recent gains as the Fed begins their two-day FOMC meeting. While the Fed is not expected to change policy, there is perhaps some scope for changes to the wording of the statement.
Will they make an effort to get September back on the table with a more hawkish tone? Will they concede September and start trying to build expectations for December? My guess is that there is little to no change in the verbiage from June. We’ll find out tomorrow at 2:Tuesday, July 25, 2017 |
