Short Episode: Why Gold Standard Won‘t Work

If you want to buy gold to gamble, make sure you know it’s a gamble. Gold would make money if somebody else is willing to pay more for it. Historically, there is nothing special about gold that causes it to become more valuable every day.

Ep.43 - part 2 - Why Are House Prices Dropping a bit?

Summer is usually the busiest period for house buying and it was true this year in a strong sellers’ market. The buyer historically has gotten a better deal by waiting until the winter rather than buying in the late spring or summer as there are fewer buyers.

Ep.43 - part 1 - What Happened in the Market this Week? (8/30 – 9/3)

Our economy is the healthiest one in the world. We prefer to attribute the success of recovery to people in America. An important thing to remember is that the angle of recovery didn’t change between presidents or between congresses.

Ep.42 -part 3 - What Impact Will Quantitative Tightening Have on the Market?

Forecasting interest rates is a fool’s game. So there is no point in forecasting them. However, as the economy continues to recover, interest rates will probably rise over the next decade or so. Oops, we just made a forecast.

Ep.42 - part 2 - How Much Debt Does the U.S. Actually Owe?

The current interest rates all the way to the 30-year treasury yields are low. Therefore, when the US government borrows money, it is borrowing money at lower than expected inflation rates. The people who are loaning the government money are paying the government.

Ep.42 - part 1 - What Happened in the Market This Week? (8/23 – 8/27)

The states that cut unemployment payments haven’t seen a greater increase in employment than the states that didn't cut them. The best increase in employment has been seen in the states which didn’t cut unemployment payments, which makes no sense, but that is reality.

While the growth rate in China has been faster, China’s GDP is not as much as that of the US. They have a tremendous hill to climb to get caught up to where we are. And demographically, they are shrinking.
