Grave Tendings

James Howard Kunstler
So titanically self-unaware is the Democratic Resistance that it failed to grok it was actually signing the party’s death warrant Wednesday, complete with official Nancy Pelosi commemorative black-and-gold signature pens. And that their solemn, prayerful journey from one side of the Capitol building to the other was actually the conveyance of that death warrant in what amounted to the party’s funeral march. Remember this eternal paradox of the...

Get Ready For The Post-Keynesian Age

Nathan Lewis
It seems to me that we are in the waning days of Keynesianism. On the one hand, people want to push their Keynesian tricks to the limit; on the other, people sense that it isn’t really working. One leads to the other — it doesn’t work, so we do more of it. This might lead to one of two outcomes: we get tired of the charade, and it peters out as we go in a new direction. Or, we double down on stupid, and it blows up in our face. Either way, th...

The Bank of England's Governor Fears a Liquidity Trap

Frank Shostak
The global economy is heading towards a “liquidity trap” that could undermine central banks’ efforts to avoid a future recession according to Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England. In a wide-ranging interview with the Financial Times (January 8,...

The West Will Become The New ‘Third World’: PricewaterhouseCoopers

Graham Summer

2019 Reading List

Nathan Lewis
Today, we have an (abbreviated) list of books I read in 2019. Some years ago, I decided that I would undertake a multi-year project of self-education. In the process of learning about homeschooling, I concluded that my own education (which included both elite boarding schools and Ivy League universities, plus a lot of study on top of that) was insufficient. It did not measure up, in certain key areas, even to what I expected my homeschooled...

More Money Creation Won't Create More Economic Growth

Frank Shostak
The view that more money can revive an economy is based on the belief that money transmits its stimulatory effect through aggregate expenditure. With more money in their pockets, people will be able to spend more and the rest will follow suit. Money, i...

Sedition in Real Time

James Howard Kunstler
It is a wonder of these incendiary times that even as impeachment of a president moves to its ripest phase, trial in the Senate, the acts of sedition that prompted it still go on behind the scenes with no intervention — an epic failure of authority, if there ever was one. And further irony, if ever there was a trial that cried for witnesses, the impeachment case being brought by Mrs. Pelosi is such a hash of fraud, incompetence, and chicanery,...

Iran Strikes Back: Fires Dozen Missiles at US Forces in Iraq, Gold Soars

Mish
Iran stuck back at the US for Trump's assassination of Iran's military leader on a peace mission in Iraq. Iran Strikes Back If Trump wanted a war, he got one. Congratulations. Iran fired more than a dozen missiles at two bases in Iraq where U.S. troops are stationed. Tehran says it is vengeance for killing of top Iranian general. Cooler Heads Did Not Prevail Most expected a milder retaliation for Trump's asinine assassination of an Iranian gen...

Some Other People Do Some Other Things

James Howard Kunstler
An almighty bafflement befogs the nation as the first full business week of 2020 commences and events pile up like smashed vehicles on a weather-blinded highway. Before we even smoked that Iranian bird on the Baghdad airport tarmac, something ominous was tingling away in the financial markets, in fact, has been since way back in September. Perhaps one-in-100,000 Americans has the dimmest clue as to what the repo mechanism stands for in banking...

Gold Pops Another 26 Dollars in Response to Trump's Threats

Mish
With Mideast tensions high and rising, gold just popped another 26 bucks. Gold futures are up another $26 over the weekend in response to Mideast tensions and Trump's threats of retaliation against both Iran and Iraq. Let the Highest Bidder Win Bac...

Gold: How High in 2020?

Mish
Gold broke out of a six year consolidation. Things look up in 2020. Gold Monthly Chart 2004-Present Gold Monthly Chart 2010-Present Smart Money Shorts I ignore short-term COT "smart money" warnings although I would prefer there to be fewer bulls. For discussion of "smart money", please see Investigating Alleged Smart Money Positions in Gold. Pater Tenebrarum at the Acting Man blog pinged me with this idea: The only caveat remains the large n...

Forecast 2020 — Whirlin’ and Swirlin’

James Howard Kunstler
The Meta The big question for the year 2020 is simple: can America get its mind right? If the answer is no, we may not have much chance of continuing as a peaceful, functioning country. The era of the long emergency, as I call it, is of a piece with Strauss and Howe’s figurative winter in their Fourth Turning view of history playing out in generational cycles analogous to seasons of the year. Whatever you call it, the current disposition of t...

To Be Useful, Data Needs Theory

For most so-called practical economists, information regarding the state of an economy is derived from data. Thus, if an economic statistic such as real gross domestic product or industrial production shows a visible increase, it is considered indicati...

Investigating Alleged Smart Money Positions in Gold

Mish
What if anything does does the futures position of commercial hedgers say about the price of gold? I received the following email from Tom McClellan with his thoughts on gold. The emphasis in italics below is mine. It is on points I am going to dispute. Gold Cot Data Calls for More of a Drop Gold prices are seeing a Christmas week pop, getting all of the gold bugs excited again. But the smart money “commercial” traders of gold futures have ...

How Does Gold React to Interest Rate Policy?

Mish
From 1970 to present let's investigate how gold reacted to various interest rate environments. A reader asked to see a chart of gold vs "real" interest rates. Real means inflation-adjusted. To calculate the real rate I subtracted year-over-year CPI from the Fed Fund Rate. Use of CPI as a measure of inflation is more than a bit flawed, but it is the standard measure "real". The price of gold is a monthly average. No magic Rules As one might exp...

Gold's vs the US Dollar: Correlation Is Not What Most Think

Gold is not as correlated to the US dollar as most think. I commented on this a few days ago in Gold Surprisingly Correlated With the US Dollar. Gold has been positively correlated to the US dollar for well over a year. Most of the time gold is invers...

Good Economic Theory Focuses on Explanation, Not Prediction

Frank Shostak
In order to establish the state of the economy, economists employ various theories. Yet what are the criteria for how they decide whether the theory employed is helpful in ascertaining the facts of reality? According to the popular way of thinking, our...

Gold Surprisingly Correlated With the US Dollar

Mish
Since 2015, gold has been correlated to the US dollar. What's next? Most of the time, gold is inversely correlated to the US dollar. The problem with such analysis is that frequency does not mean amplitude. The above chart proves that point. Tweet Insp...

Gold and Silver Miners Outperforming the Metals

Mish
For the first time in a long time, gold and silver miners are outperforming the metal, generally a good signal for both. Starting November, on a daily chart, the XAU components started outperforming gold and silver. Miners vs the Metals Weekly A weekly chart shows these periods of overperformance and underperformance can last a long time. Recent action in the miners is encouraging as are the technical charts.

An Expulsion of Demons

James Howard Kunstler
Is there any saving the Democratic Party? This wretched concatenation of ill-will, bad faith, false witness, and sore-loserdom lurches from one defeat to the next like some mindless monster from an ancient fable of ruin, seeking a final spectacular spasm of self-annihilation. Let’s face it: only an exorcism will do, some spiritual emetic to induce the projectile vomiting of all that borscht the monster has swallowed. The “progressive” (not) Re...

Why Gold? by Alan Reynolds (1983)

Nathan Lewis
This 1983 paper, from Alan Reynolds, was a very fine expression of basic gold standard principles. There have always been a few people who understood these things — but, for a long time, too few. One reason I took many years to write the “gold trilogy” was to provide a format from which a much larger number of people could learn these principles, and also, to provide a much more in-depth discussion backed up by a lot of historical detail and s...

China Potentially Threatens a Near Term Us Treasury Short Squeeze!

Two for One Holiday Special

James Howard Kunstler
Hillary Clinton sure got her money’s worth with the Fusion GPS deal: it induced a three-year psychotic break in the body politic, destroyed the legitimacy of federal law enforcement, turned a once-proud, free, and rational press into an infernal engine of bad faith, and is finally leading her Democratic Party to an ignominious suicide. And the damage is far from complete. It’s even possible that Mrs. Clinton will return to personally escort th...

Why Central Banks Aren't Really Setting Interest Rates

Frank Shostak
Mainstream thinking considers the central bank a key factor in the determination of interest rates. By setting short-term interest rates, the central bank, it is argued, can influence the entire interest rate structure by creating expectations about the future course of its interest rate policy. In this way of thinking, the long-term rate is an average of current and expected short-term interest rates. If today’s one-year rate is 4 percent and...

Easy-Money Policies Don't Solve the Problem of Idle Resources

It is widely believed that resources that are utilized in normal times to promote economic prosperity become underutilized during recessions. Some experts hold that what is required are policies which will increase the availability of credit. On this L...
