Ending the Monetary Fiasco – Returning to Sound Money  |
| Money plays a key role in facilitating and intensifying the process of civilization. However, this holds true only for free-market money, while with government-controlled fiat money, the opposing tendency comes into operation, namely the process of decivilization.Tuesday, July 25, 2017 |

 Supply Side Economics – 42 Years Later – Paul Craig Roberts  |
| Supply-Side economics burst onto the economic policy scene in Washington, D.C., on September 21, 1975 in the Sunday Washington Star in an article I had written for US Representative Jack Kemp that provided a supply-side economic basis for his capital formation bill. Subsequently, I generalized the supply-side approach when I realized that changes in marginal tax rates altered relative prices and could shift the aggregate supply side curve. Until that time, economists assumed that fiscal policy oSunday, July 23, 2017 |

| Congress Plays Catch-Up With Self-Driving Cars: Millions of Jobs Will Vanish, What Jobs New Jobs Will Surface? |
| As the push for self-driving cars nears fruition, Congress has a bit of work to do.
A national solution is the key, not a hodge-podge of state regulations with states saying and doing a number of different things.
A House bill dubbed the Highly Automated Vehicle Testing and Deployment Act of 2017, is now in the works. It will give the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration broad oversight of the self-driving car industry.

Our Disneyland Economy
By Michael Snyder
Disneyland is known as a place “where dreams come true” and where every story always has a happy ending. But there is going to be no happy ending for the U.S. economy. Wishful thinking has resulted in one of the greatest stock market rallies in history in recent months, but like all childhood fantasies, it won’t last. The real economy continues to deteriorate, and Saturday, July 22, 2017 |

| Gold/Silver Shorts Extreme |
| The
gold-futures and silver-futures short positions held by speculators
have rocketed up to extremes in recent weeks. These elite traders
are aggressively betting for further weakness in gold and silver
prices. But history has proven extreme shorts are a powerful
contrarian indicator. Right as speculators wax the most bearish as
evidenced by their collective bets, gold and silver decisively

| “A Stock Market Crash is Coming!” |
| Conventional “Wisdom:” Markets move up and down, but the stock market always comes back. The DOW is frothy and needs a correction, but the stock markets are healthy and big gains lie ahead.
Pessimistic version: Jim Rogers said, “the next crash will ‘the biggest in my lifetime.’” [Coming soon …]
Question: Given the craziness in politics, the Middle-East, Central Banking, and global debt levels … do you own enough gold bullion?

| The Fed May Show Trump No Love |
| Typically, U.S. Presidents are wary of claiming stock market performance as a referendum on their success. Most have seemed to understand that taking credit also means accepting blame, and no one would want to make the tortured argument that the positive moves reflect well on their presidency but that the negative moves do not. But Donald Trump has shown no reluctance to make any argument that suits his political purpose of the day, no matter its absurdity, and no matter if he has to contradict Thursday, July 20, 2017 |

| It could be argued that there’s never been a time in history, where so many Americans thought that we were on the brink of another major war. If you pay attention to the constant news stream of stories regarding Syria, North Korea, or Russia, you’d be hard pressed to deny it. In fact, a recent poll found that 76% of Americans are worried that another war will break out in the next 4 years, and 80% were afraid that we could be embroiled in a conflict with North Korea in the near future.

| In the first part of the Preparing for THE Bottom series, we emphasized the need to be sure to stay alert and focused in the precious metals market, even though it may not appear all that interesting. We argued that preparing for the big moves in gold that are likely to be seen later this year should prove extremely worth one’s while. In the second part of the series, we discussed when, approximately, one can expect the key bottom in gold to form (reminder: this winter appears a likely target) aThursday, July 20, 2017 |

Though stock markets in general are meaningless and indicate nothing in terms of the health of the economy they still function as a form of hypnosis, or a kind of Pavlovian mechanism; a tool that central bankers can use to keep a population servile and salivating at the ring of a bell.

| Magazine covers tend to coincide with extreme sentiment. The Economist is particularly good at offering contrarian articles.
In December of 2016, The Economist nailed the peak in the US dollar with its “Mighty Dollar” issue.
The dollar has been gradually gaining strength for years. But the prompt for this latest surge is the prospect of a shift in the economic-policy mix in America. The weight of investors’ money has bet that Mr Trump will cut taxes and spend more public funds on fixing AmericWednesday, July 19, 2017 |

| Inflation as far as the eye can see |
| Many investors pigeon-hole themselves as “inflationists” or “deflationists”, where an inflationist is someone who expects more inflation over the years ahead and a deflationist is someone who expects deflation. I am grudgingly in the inflation camp, because the overall case for more inflation is strong.
I use the word “grudgingly” in the above sentence for two reasons. First, more inflation adds to the existing economic problems and will eventually result in major social upheaval, so when I predTuesday, July 18, 2017 |
