The Government Isn't Being Honest About Inflation

"The government isn't being honest about inflation. According to the government, annual inflation is only about 1.5 percent a year. Now, that's not possible. How could 41 percent of the people polled by Fox News be most concerned about inflation if the government is right?" - in Schiff`s Facebook Page

Concerns Over Our Twin Deficits Will Return With A Vengeance

When America’s creditors wake up, particularly those foreign governments now shouldering the lion’s share of the burden, concerns over our twin deficits will return with a vengeance. As the problems now loom larger than ever, so too will the economic and market implications when the issues come to a head. Interest rates will surge and the dollar will fall. But the U.S. economy is not nearly as well equipped as in 1987 to withstand the stresses.

Given the relative size of our imbalances, the manner in which they are being financed, and the diminished state of our manufacturing sector, higher interest rates and a weaker dollar will exact a much greater toll.

Despite this, I do not believe that the stock market is as vulnerable to another Black Monday. With the Federal Reserve so committed to its current course of quantitative easing, it seems to me unlikely that they will allow such a steep one-day drop. Also, with bond yields so low, domestic investors are currently presented with fewer attractive options.

 If anything, the next Black Monday is more likely to occur in the currency and/or bond markets, with safe haven flows moving into gold not treasuries. - in Market Playground

Video: Presidential Debate Analysis


The Presidential "debate" between Pres. Obama and Gov. Romney looked more like a Democratic Primary debate. As far as substance is concerned neither candidate won, and the biggest loser was the voter. Here is my recap of the low lights. Too bad Gary Johnson wasn't on stage to advocate for free market solutions to government created problems.

The Fed Is Easing When It Should Be Tightening

The Fed’s zero percent interest rate policy is predicated on the assumption that there is currently no inflation. If this is not accurate, then they are making a major policy mistake. The Fed is easing when it should be tightening. If inflation is such a major concern now, imagine how much bigger the problem will become once the Fed achieves its goal of pushing the rate higher.

More importantly, how much tighter will future monetary policy have to be to put the inflation genie back in her bottle? If inflation becomes so virulent before the Fed realizes its mistake, then it may be forced to raise interest rates significantly. - in MarketPlayground

Voters Identified Rising Prices As Their Primary Concern

Journalists, politicians and economists all seem to agree that the biggest economic issue currently worrying voters is unemployment. It follows then that most believe that the deciding factor in the presidential race will be the ability of each candidate to convince the public that his policies will create jobs. It seems that everyone got this memo…except the voters.

According to the results of a Fox News poll released last week (a random telephone sample of more than 1,200 registered voters) 41 percent identified “inflation” as “the biggest economic problem they faced.” This is nearly double the 24 percent that named “unemployment” as their chief concern. For further comparison, 19 percent identified “taxes” and 7 percent “the housing market” as their primary concern. A full 44 percent of women, who often do more of the household shopping and would therefore be more sensitive to prices changes, identified rising prices as their primary concern. - in Market Playground

We Are Losing The Jobs That We Need

Of the 114,000 jobs that were created, 10,000 of them were from government. And that`s on top of the 45,000 government jobs that were created in the prior month.

In contrast, we lost 16,000 manufacturing jobs in September and that`s on top of the 22,000 manufacturing jobs we lost in August. In other words, we are losing the jobs that we need and gaining the jobs that we don`t. We don`t need more people working for the government. - in The Schiff Report

Weak Currencies Simply Create The Illusion Of Growth

Weak currencies are supposed to offer advantages to exporters and are seen as an easy way to boost GDP. In reality, weak currencies simply create the illusion of growth while eroding real purchasing power. Strong currencies confer greater wealth and potency to an economy. But in today's world, no central banker is prepared to stand idly by while their currency appreciates. As a result, foreign central banks are rolling out their own heavy artillery to combat the Fed. - in the Global Investor Newsletter

The Policy Of The Fed Is To Debase The Currency

While I believe the Fed's plan will be a disaster for the economy, the silver lining is that it provides investors with a road-map. As the policy of the Fed is to debase the currency, those holding dollar based assets may seek alternatives in hard assets and in the currencies of the few remaining countries whose bankers have not drunken so freely from the Keynesian Kool-Aid. We believe that such opportunities do exist. - in The Global Investor Newsletter
