Willow is Born!
Our daughter finally arrived this week. She checked in at 7 pounds 11 ounces and 20 1/2 inches. Kara did an amazing job in the delivery and managed to bring her into the world about 45 minutes after showing up at the hospital! How’s that for efficient? It was alot more relaxing experience than when […]
The US Will See Real Recession
Recession in the US? According to the media, we’re far from this, right? Well, maybe. Right now, we’re seeing slow growth that doesn’t get anyone excited, but is actually positive. Will we see slow growth like China, or full blown recession like Europe? What the media and government don’t like to mention is that the […]
China’s Growth Slows
Moving from Europe to China, the story stays similar. While Europe is in recession, China’s growth has slowed dramatically. This is another prediction that has already begun to come true since we first made the prediction. However, we see this trend continuing. China’s economy is largely based on sending cheap manufactured items to the US […]
Europe Will Experience a Sovereign Default (and Perhaps Multiple Defaults) in 2012
We spoke on Friday about the possibility of sovereign default in Europe. There is the possibility that the European Central Bank (ECB) will print enough money to bail out all the problem countries. However, this would surely lead to hyperinflation and since Germany is still the main power in Europe, this seems unlikely to us […]
Europe Undergoing Severe Recession
It might be obvious to all now that Europe will not escape a severe recession. At the time we first wrote this prediction, the media talk was about how the rest of Europe was pulling together and saving Greece. Well, they’ve “saved” Greece and now Greece is back in trouble. They’ve “saved” the European banks […]
US Dollar Will Lose Value in 2012
We predicted the US Dollar would lose value in real terms in 2012 to start this series, and this is already showing itself to be true. Inflation is running higher and higher so that even the government numbers show inflation far above what a person can earn on risk free cash. The reality is much […]
Bonds Will Turn Around in 2012
Our bold prediction that US bond investors will see losses in 2012 has still yet to bear out. Last year we shied away from such a bold prediction because it’s so hard to guess when this 30 year bull market will turn. But turn it most certainly will….the question is when? With 10 year Treasury […]
Oil Prices to Explode Higher
Oil prices have seen increased volatility along with most everything lately. We just finished discussing silver in our series on economic forecasts. Today we look at the main reasons we think oil prices will be higher to end 2012. We’ll also cover the reasons we think oil prices have much higher to climb in the […]
Why You Should Own Silver Now Even If The Price Might Drop Later
Friday we left off talking about Silver and ended the piece discussing the ongoing bullion bank price suppression scheme. We’ve often commented on the issue because new proof comes up all the time and it’s hard not to comment on a blatant in justice being done against everyday Americans. It’s gotten to the point that […]
Silver: Will it Crater or Explode Higher?
Silver is gold’s manic depressive cousin. Silver typically (although sometimes with multi-week or month delay) trends in the same direction as gold, albeit in much more dramatic fashion. It screams higher when times are good. Silver also drives owners mad when its price drops seemingly faster and harder than any other asset price. The turbulence […]
