In other words, they bring together a list of things that may happen, in an effort to get you to think.

Europe, Brexit and the credit cycle  |
| Europe’s financial and systemic troubles have retreated from the headlines. This is partly due to the financial media’s attention switching to President Trump and the US budget negotiations, partly due to Brexit and the preoccupation with Britain’s problems, and partly due to evidence of economic recovery in the Eurozone, at long last. And finally, anyone who can put digit to computer key has been absorbed by the cryptocurrency phenomenon.Just because commentary is focused elsewhere does not meaFriday, December 15, 2017 |

| The value of soaring crypto-currencies is creating a bubble financial analysts continue to warn about, but it’s also making it overly appealing to cyber thieves. North Korean hackers are now attempting to steal bitcoin, as experts warn of an impending financial dilemma.
Ashley Shen, an independent security researcher, said: “We assume one of the reasons why Bitcoin is being attacked is because the price keeps increasing and we think it’s reasonable for hackers (to target). Digital currency mighTuesday, December 12, 2017 |

| EU Deposit Insurance, a Bank Crisis in Italy and Greece, and the Coming Ban on Cash |
| Last week we investigated nonperforming EU loans and an EU proposal to freeze accounts if a run on a bank starts.
Today let’s investigate the EU’s deposit insurance scheme with the likely result being a ban on cash.
On July 19, with little media publicity, the EU Single Resolution Board issued a statement with this exact title: Press Release – Banking Union – Single Resolution Board collects €6.6 billion in annual contributions to the Single Resolution Fund, now reaching €17 billion in total.

| European Central Bank gold reserves held across 5 locations. ECB will not disclose Gold Bar List. |
| The European Central Bank (ECB), creator of the Euro, currently claims to hold 504.8 tonnes of gold reserves. These gold holdings are reflected on the ECB balance sheet and arose from transfers made to the ECB by Euro member national central banks, mainly in January 1999 at the birth of the Euro. As of the end of December 2015, these ECB gold reserves were valued on the ECB balance sheet at market prices and amounted to €15.79 billion.

| Chaos Volatility On The Rise |
| No, that’s not a ‘click bait’ sensationalist title. Things are getting ‘weird’ out there if you’re trying to be polite, and downright 'chaotic' if you're being blunt. Everywhere we look, we see signs that the systems that support us are breaking down.
The economy no longer spins off enough surplus for the elites to take what they consider their share with enough left over for everyone else. So the wealth gap grows unchecked into politically and socially destabilizing levels.

| EU Pledged to Relocate 160,000 Refugees in One Year - Results So Far, 147 in Three Months |
| More Refugee Math
Up to 6,000 refugees pour into Greece every day.
Merkel offered to help countries like Greece with pledge to relocate 160,000 refugees.
Since September, the EU's relocation effort has moved precisely 147 refugees.
By the way, 6,000 a day is 2,190,000 a year
I said Merkel's relocation plan was idiotic the moment she hatched it, but I have to admit the results are far worse than even I expected.

| ECB Chief Economist: OK, I Get it, the Euro Doesn’t Work |
| The ECB started its €60-billion-a-month QE bonanza earlier this year and was expected to run it through September 2016, but already the Big Money is clamoring for more. Shook up by what’s happening in China, the ECB said it might accommodate them.
Now Standard and Poor’s warned or recommended – whichever – that the ECB could double the size of the QE program, to €2.4 trillion and extend it “until mid-2018.” That the Big Money is clamoring for more is no surprise: despite the ECB’s QE and negativFriday, October 2, 2015 |

| In a recent article, “How many Good Delivery gold bars are in all the London Vaults?….including the Bank of England vaults“, I considered how much gold is actually in the London Gold Market, and highlighted how the amount of gold stored in the London wholesale market has fallen noticeably in recent years.

| From ZIRP to NIRP: Virtues of Germany vs. the Vices of Greece; What About "Speece" and Gold |
| Virtues of Germany vs. the Vices of Greece
At the heart of the constant bailout bickering in Europe is a fundamental, but seriously misguided notion that a battle is underway between the virtuous and fiscally responsible Germans and the irresponsible Greeks, Spaniards, and Portuguese.
In this incorrect view, the Spaniards have begun to see the light, but the Greeks need a serious lesson in morality.
If we steps back and actually assign blame, we can find plenty of blame to go around.

 The Big Picture  |
| Each day I spend an hour or two scanning the stories and memes that are circulating that day, and then maybe another hour thinking about how they fit into the big picture. Everything is, of course, connected, and aside from filtering out the nonsense and the noise, putting it all together into a single comprehensive and cohesive picture is, IMO, the only way to understand what is really happening.
Without such a context, it can seem like nothing makes sense, like we live in a madhouse where iMonday, March 9, 2015 |
