| Financial crisis dynamics, the ‘shadow’ gold demand, and Mene |
| The study of financial crises is as old as the economics discipline itself. One of the most prominent theorists of financial crises ever to hold a senior Federal Reserve policy position was John Exter, vice-president of the New York Federal Reserve during the 1950s. Several years ago I co-wrote a series of essays on Exter’s theories together with his sonin- law, Barry Downs. In this paper, building on Exter’s work, including his eponymous ‘pyramid’, I introduce a new ‘hourglass’ framework for unSaturday, November 14, 2020 |

| Great Disaster Looms as Technology Disrupts White Collar Workers |
| – Every era, every century, every generation has its massive technological disruption
– Taxi drivers being “disrupted” by technology of Uber
– History shows how “middle men” frequently made redundant
– Skill set of many professionals today can be replicated by machines and technology
– Technology may make lawyers, accountants, architects and doctors redundant
– We risk “cannabalising ourselves” with internet and emerging technologies

| Silicon Valley Survivalist Builds DIY “Extreme Weather TsunamiBall” To Ride Out Disaster |
| Whenever seismic activity kicks up on the planet, earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis are triggered.
Just how big, and how devastating, depends upon chance, and the build-up of pressures within the earth.
But anyway you slice it, places like Southern California, and globally, the Ring of Fire, are in the danger zone. Many say that it’s just a matter of time.
With that in mind, survival-minded individuals and disaster preppers have been trying to get ready, and help others get ready, too.

| With Amazon shares getting slammed in after-hours trading, it’s hard to be bearish on the stock market. Let me explain. The canny, institutional dirtballs who manipulate this stock for a living have never been known to pass up an opportunity to shake it down in order to buy lots more of it at fire-sale prices. That’s what they are doing at the moment, seizing on a 27-cent earnings miss to put up some lowball bids.

| Gold vs. Paper: The Only Debate That Matters |
| While a record audience watched the first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the sad truth is that the candidates differ very little on the issues that matter most. As president, both Clinton and Trump are likely to drive the country deeper into debt, expand government power, and further curtail individual liberty and economic freedom. Though we can vote against the candidate we feel will accelerate this trend, our votes may do nothing to change the direction we are heWednesday, September 28, 2016 |

| So, You Want To Invest In Unicorns |
| As an investor in private companies, one of the biggest issues you're potentially facing is a lack of liquidity.
When buying shares of a listed company, most of the time you have a luxury of being able to sell your shares literally in seconds.
It's not quite that easy when investing in private businesses, though. More often than not, there's no convenient way to sell (or buy) the shares you hold in a private company. Even if you're looking to unload your shares of Airbnb, Uber, or some other "Saturday, June 18, 2016 |

The Financial Repression Authority sees the massive government tax grab already
quietly underway accelerating in 2016 in most of the developed economies.
This 'grab' will be a desperate political act driven by underfunded, and in
a significant number of cases, unfunded public pension which will unfold at
all three levels of government, Federal, State and City /Local government.

down after the FED statement. Luckily, my recommendation to sell short any
strength towards $1,175-$1,180 has now brought us in the comfortable situation
to ride a winning trade home.

| It’s Just a Question of Whose Capital Will Be Destroyed |
| The amount of money investors have plowed into startups has reached record highs. In 2014, investors of all kinds, from angels and VCs to big asset managers, invested $48.35 billion in startups, “only” the third highest year on record, but the highest since the crazy bubble years 1999 and 2000 when investors blew $55 billion and $105 billion respectively, even as the dot-com bubble was already imploding. Investors at the time were just a little slow in giving up hope.

Why isn’t innovation driving growth anymore  |
| Average growth in Europe, Japan and the United States keeps slowing down when compared with previous decades: It is near zero in Europe and Japan, and 2% in the U.S. Inasmuch as, in those countries, innovation is still thriving, many new services are being offered, many start-ups are going public and raising funds, and scientific research is still leading to new discoveries. So why isn’t this inventiveness (being able to do more with less) producing any economic growth?
