U.S. Treasuries in a Bubble, Not Commodities [View article]
And when that buuble does burst, look for the possible collapse of many major US financial institutions who have moved their assets from one bubble - mortgage securities to another bubble - Treasuries.
Five Reasons China Is Not a Bubble [View article]
Look at most of the commenters - very bearish on China - which for a contrarian investor like me says that the China investment story is still in the early innings.
Dollar vs. Yuan: Exchange Rates Aren't the Problem. Or the Solution [View article]
The US did that to get rid of an economic competitor - Japan - and they want to do the same to China in the same way, but I don't think the Chinese will let the US bully them into that trap.
JP Morgan Invents New U.S. Employment Numbers [View article]
Two of your 'positive' indicators - the US stock market and bond market - are up because of the "phony" data and the stupidity and laziness of not only the media, but most investors...
And I am not a bear - I am very bullish on overseas markets, especially emerging markets, and commodities...and have made lots of money in these markets for over a decade.
I completely 100% stay out of the US markets, even though I am American, because the markets here are far too manipulated and controlled by the big Wall Street players...and valuations are far too far too high, such as for crap stocks like Apple,etc.

Geithner's 'Deeply' Held Belief in the Dollar [View article]
Yeah, gawd-forbid we do anything to lower Goldman's bonus pool, right Timmy?
Zero Interest Rates Can't Last Forever. Then Where Are We Headed? [View article]
Who will suffer the most? The average American...not the Banksters. They will have all of their assets in other countries, other currencies, and precious metals & other commodities.
The Global Oil Scam: 50 Times Bigger than Madoff [View article]
And I do mean fantasies - not facts...for instance, spare OPEC capacity is located in one country - Saudi Arabia only, and their spare capacity is at most 2 million barrels and that's if you believe their numbers.
Hey Philip, if you interested in manipulations that occur every day involving Goldman and the boyz and involving tens of trillions of dollars over the years, look no further than the US stock market! The commodities markets are no more than a 'hobby' for them.
Lunatic Bubble Warning for U.S. Treasuries [View article]
The treasury bubble is the biggest bubble I have seen in my near 3 decades in the industry.
Just think about what will happen when (not if) that bubble bursts and all the banks who have loaded up on Treasuries get killed (again)!

Great article - which does not surprise me in the least.....
International Energy Association: Forced to Eat Their Optimistic Data on Future Oil Supply? [View article]
Also there will probably never be a large amount of oil sands production, not only because of high costs, but because of the environmental costs - water, etc.
Finally, if you believe the Saudi numbers on their reserves, I got some swamp land I'd like to sell you.

China's Improbable Economic Growth Figures [View article]
The paragraph about the migration of rural agricultural workers to the cities could have been written a decade ago...China has instituted many support programs in the rural areas - there is no longer a mass migration to the cities.
Saudi Oil Pricing Paradigm Shift: WTI Index Out, ASCI Index In [View article]
The price of the NYMEX WTI contract was more than $20 below what the actual global price of oil was and despite the BS about Cushing, OK, etc. - the real reason was blatant manipulation on the DOWN side by the Wall Street banksters.
The Saudis were furious that Wall Street was ripping them off to the tune of tens of millions of dollars, so they are now dropping the WTI in an attempt to get a less Wall Street-controlled price.
