| I’m sure there will be some shocking events in 2018, but I have no idea what they will be.There are too many wildcards in the mix, with one big one taking center stage: States.
The civilized world, such as it was, took a nosedive after the Sarajevo assassinations in 1914 ignited the political tinderbox in Europe. To pay for the massive slaughter that followed, states abandoned gold and turned to inflationary finance and borrowing, in addition to heavy taxation. Very importantly, as RothbarFriday, January 5, 2018 |

| It’s just one day before the Ides of March; when not one, not two, but three potentially explosive “PM bullish, everything-else-bearish” factors are “scheduled” to occur. During which, Andrew Maguire claims the wholesale physical gold market – where the world’s largest buyers, like Central banks and sovereign funds, play – has never been tighter; with massive unseen buy orders at the $1,200/oz level. Will this in fact “break” the paper market in the next few months, as he anticipates? I guessTuesday, March 14, 2017 |

| Central bankers believe that they can provide free lunches |
| [This post is a modified excerpt from a recent TSI commentary.]
A lot of good economic theory boils down to the acronym TANSTAAFL, which stands for “There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch”. TANSTAAFL is an unavoidable law of economics, because everything must be paid for one way or another. Furthermore, attempts by policymakers to get around this law invariably result in a higher overall cost to the economy. Unfortunately, central bankers either don’t know about TANSTAAFL or are naive enoughMonday, June 20, 2016 |

| Duke Energy responders recall the storm that changed their lives |
| CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ten years ago, Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast.
America watched as hundreds of thousands of people suffered and hundreds died. In the midst of this tragedy, many utilities, including Duke Energy and Progress Energy (now Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress after their merger in 2012), sent assistance.
The companies sent a combined total of about 1,800 workers from North Carolina and South Carolina as well as Florida.

| The Humiliation and Subjugation of Greece |
| Europe is a fascinating place, but not as interesting as it was before the European Union came into existence. Older travellers may recall the fun of going from one European country to another, with each having its own currency and banknotes which you could scrutinize with interest as you relaxed at various cafes or restaurants. The national stereotypes could still easily be found - Frenchmen on bicycles dressed in blue and white striped shirts and black berets pedaling around selling strings ofTuesday, July 14, 2015 |

| If you want to see in stark contrast why “top down” Government programs cannot fix the US economy take a look at the recent developments regarding school lunches.
In case you missed it, in 2012 the US public school system implemented a series of reforms to mandate what students should eat based on a healthier diet.
The program was spearheaded by First Lady Michelle Obama, who, despite not being a nutritionist or having any sort of medical degree, has decided she knows what’s best for childrenFriday, June 26, 2015 |

| Finanical Repression Authority with Andrew Sheng |
| Andrew Sheng has spent his career in Asia as a central banker and regulator.
He summarizes the current global situation as developed economies simply "kicking
the can down the road" to avoid the painful and inevitable structural changes
that must lie ahead. "There are no free lunches. Avoidance will only make it
more expenses and painful later on!" He quotes former Treasury Secretary Larry
Summers on this subject; "do you want your teeth pulled out slowly or very
quickly?" Sheng concTuesday, December 16, 2014 |

 A Steaming Stream of Tweet  |
| This edition of The Room consists mainly of items that have washed up on the desktop this week that I felt worthy of your attention. We also have a guest article by correspondent Hans Fredrick Hansen on the topic of how long the US economy will be able to continue trudging forward under the heavy load of its unproductive debt.

| Extreme Gold Market: Supply vs Demand |
| The true Gold price is PP in the graph, while the phony price is P* since it is associated with supply shortage and excess demand. A picture might be worth a thousand words, but sometimes a picture requires a thousand words to explain its full meaning. The true Gold price is very much unknown, hotly debated, and unclear even to the professionals in the business of selling it in either small or large quantities. Tremendous variance in Supply across the world will become more common, seen as pockeTuesday, July 30, 2013 |

| Wall Street’s Bunco Artists |
| No one ever looks back with nostalgia on Wall Street’s good old days; for in fact, there never were any “good old days.” The stock market was always the same sleazy carnival game that it is today, a hoop-toss rigged to make the rubes think that winning is easy. Of course, the easier it looks, the harder it is. So it goes for investors sauntering along the global midway.

| The Real Inflation Rate and What to Do About It |
| A little over a month ago we did a quick poll on what our readers thought the real rate of inflation was. The idea for polling our readers came from the disconnect between the official government rate of around 1% and what some had told me they were experiencing first hand.
Thank you to everyone who participated, particularly those who shared frustrating examples of the ever-increasing cost of living. There were close to 100 pages of reader comments, and I read them all... every single word.

Many readers have expressed concerns about press reports on how rising costs are eating miners' lunches. Sentiment is so bearish, some companies have delivered great news to the market in recent months only to see share prices fall anyway.This is great news for contrarians, who – made of stronger stuff – are happy to buy when the faint of heart flee the field. But what is the reality of gold mining today? Is the business really as bad as so many investors seem to think?Your metals miFriday, January 18, 2013 |

| Diet and exercise. It's the solution to about 80% of our health
issues today. Most people, at some point, try to make some kind of
improvement in their diet and exercise habits. The majority fail to
produce adequate results.

physically, and, inevitably, mentally as well. On the other hand,
