April 2009
:: 2009-04-01 This week I took everyone through a series of charts and graphs I had collected from various sources, most of which showed the mind-boggling extent of federal government borrowing and monetization of new credit by the Fed, etc. Altogether, they paint a pretty scary picture of our financial future. Our book of the week was 'Conquer The Crash' by Robert Prechter, Jr., written in 2002, in which the author almost precisely foretold the recent credit crisis and emerging depression, largely based on Elliot Wave theory of which he is perhaps the leading proponent. If history is any guide, we're in for a protracted period of declining growth; it may be 2016 or later before the economy begins to grow again.
 
March 2009
:: 2009-03-25 Our discussion topics for this week were: 1) Will the Treasury Dept's $1 trillion public-private plan to buy banks' bad debt really work? If not, why not? How will the middle class be affected? 2) Is FDIC protection really safe? Or does it actually stand for 'Feds Dubiously Instilling Confidence'? After we got through beating that topic up we turned to something lighter and less foreboding: 3) "The Death of the Dollar" by William Rickenbacker, this week's featured book, and a most unusual one at that. Listen and find out why!
 
:: 2009-03-18 We discuss Bill Bonner's book "Mobs, Messiahs and Markets.' We then discuss the potential for an explosion in the price of silver when the Federal Reserve Note finally crumbles.

:: 2009-03-04 We discuss G. Gordon Liddy's book "When I was a Kid this was a FREE Country,' we then debate the issue 'What if Obama's economic stimulus plan does not work?' Lastly, we review the week's financial reality news.

Gold vs. the Dollar
We should all expect a further decline in the dollar and a continuing surge in commodities such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium which many analysts expect to continually rise for at least four more years, perhaps as long as another decade or more.
 
Fed Alert!
There's a great deal of deeply educational, profoundly important, well hidden and therefore, potentially troubling material on this page. If the true nature of our magical money system is unfamiliar to you, the videos on this page may leave you speechless.
 
Meet David Walker
David Walker is the former Controller General of the U.S., America's top accountant. He's on a mission to warn us that we're heading for some serious trouble if the deficit isn't quickly brought under control. My analysis? The deficit will NOT be brought under control - it will only get out of control.
