The Fed is “Testing the Waters” for NIRP
The US Federal Reserve is obsessed with market reactions to its policies. Because of this, anytime the Fed plans to announce a major change in policy, it preps the markets via numerous leaks and hints… oftentimes for months in advance. An excellent example of this concerns the Fed’s decision to taper QE back in 2013.

The Six Year “Grand Delusion” is Ending
For six years, the world has operated under a complete delusion that Central Banks somehow fixed the 2008 Crisis. All of the arguments claiming this defied common sense. A 5th grader would tell you that you cannot solve a debt problem by issuing more debt. If the below chart was a problem BEFORE 2008… there

Bail-Ins and Frozen Accounts Are Coming to a Country Near You!
In the last 24 months, Canada, Cyprus, New Zealand, the US, the UK, and now Germany have all implemented legislation that would allow them to first FREEZE and then SEIZE bank assets during the next crisis. These moves will be sold as “for the public’s good,” when they happen. But the reality is that it’s

Prepare to be Taxed: Wealth Tax and Carry Taxes Are Coming
Prepare to be taxed. Behind the veneer of “all is well” being promoted by both world Governments and the Mainstream Media, the political elite have begun implementing legislation that will permit them to freeze accounts and use your savings to prop up insolvent banks. This is not conspiracy theory or some kind of doom and

Is the Rally About to End?
The following is an excerpt from Private Wealth Advisory... The stock rally is at a critical juncture. As I’ve mentioned before, a key momentum signal I like to watch is the 12-month moving average (MMA). Over the last 20 years, this has been an excellent gauge for whether or not the market is in a

Will China’s Meltdown Trigger a Crash?
Let’s talk briefly about China. China is thought to be the great growth story of the post-2008 era. China’s economy not only bottomed before the developed world, but by most accounts, China was thought to be the engine that pulled the world out of recession, thanks to its near-clocklike hitting of 7%+ in GDP growth

Banks Are Now Openly Rejecting Deposits… Is a Cash Ban Next?
The Central Banks hate physical cash. So much so they there will likely try to ban it in the near future. You see, almost all of the “wealth” in the financial system is digital in nature. The total currency (actual cash in the form of bills and coins) in the US financial system is a

More QE Will Not Stop the Coming Crash
The markets are surging this morning based on hype and hope of more QE from Central Banks. This view is overlook the fact that EVERY collapse follows a pattern: 1) The initial drop 2) The bounce to “kiss” former support 3) The real implosion. We’ve passed #1 and are in the middle of #2. Next

The Greatest Central Banking Con Job in History
One of the greatest con jobs in history was convincing ordinary people that Central Bankers care about the “economy” or Main Street. Aside from the complete lack of relevance that Main Street has for Central Bankers from a professional perspective (more on this in a moment), when do you think was the last time that

China’s Central Bank Loses Control… Who’s Next
ALL of the so called, “economic recovery” that began in 2009 has been based on the Central Banks’ abilities to rein in the collapse. The first round of interventions (2007-early 2009) was performed in the name of saving the system. The second round (2010-2012) was done because it was generally believed that the first round

Are Stocks About to Repeat the 1929 Crash?
In the early 2000s, Alan Greenspan was worried about deflation. So he hired Ben Bernanke, the self-proclaimed expert on the Great Depression from Princeton. The idea was that with Bernanke as his right hand man, Greenspan could put off deflation from hitting the US. Indeed, one of Bernanke’s first speeches was titled “Deflation: Making Sure

Recession Watch: We’re Back in One
The Fed has now kept interest rates at zero for 81 months. This is the longest period in the history of the Fed’s existence, lasting longer than even the 1938-1942 period of ZIRP. And the US economy is moving back into recession. Consider that… Industrial production fell five months straight in the first half of

Fed Experts Call for NIRP… is a Physical Cash Ban Next?
More and more “experts” are calling for Negative Interest Rate Policy or NIRP. The US Federal Reserve is obsessed with market reactions to its policies. Because of this, anytime the Fed plans to announce a major change in policy, it preps the markets via numerous leaks and hints… oftentimes for months in advance. An excellent

It’s Official: Central Banks Are Losing Control

The Fed is Out of Ammo… and Options
The Fed missed its chance. Truth be told, the Fed should have raised rates in 2011 or 2012. Even if the Fed had an excuse not to at those times, it should have hiked them in April 2014, when we hit its unemployment rate target of 6.5% (assuming this number is correct). Instead the Fed
