DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS/GOLD RATIO AND DAY AND NIGHT CYCLES

Another Night-Cycle scale, obviously, is the historical Dark Ages, the long millennial conversion from Day (Empire and Civlizaton) to Night (Return to Nature and the Primary Religion founded in the soil).

China's Nine Nations

The Nine Nations of North America is a book written in 1981 by Joel Garreau. In it, Garreau argues that North America can be divided into nine regions, or "nations", which have distinctive economic and cultural features. He argues that conventional national and state borders are largely artificial and irrelevant, and that his "nations" provide a more accurate way of understanding the true nature of North American society. Paul Meartz of Mayville State University called it "a classic text on the current regionalization of North America".

Jamie Dimon Makes Best Case for Not Breaking Up Big Banks

The TBTFs not only threaten the global economy, as we've seen most recently, they also threaten our democracy: they have taken over our goverment, with well-laced campaign contributions, outright bribes, and with promises of jobs to congressional 'friends' after government service ends. If we value our democracy, we have to take the government back from the banks, the insurance companies, and the very rich special interests generally.

Get out the pruning shears. It's time level the playing field again.

Why I'm Moving from Multi-Year Recovery to Double Dip Baseline

I wish we could learn to be rational about the economic cycles. During the Day Cycle, when the economy is expanding, that's the time for higher taxes -- some of you will argue that the government has no right to your tax money, but if you live in a society and you expect government services -- police, fire, streets, highways, bridges, military protection -- it's silly to argue that taxation is illegal.

We know, as the Bible told us, that we will have 'fat years followed by lean years'. That is the law. My own research points to 18 fat years followed by 18 lean years. You have to save money in the fat years so you will have money in the lean years.

This is true for governments and also true for individuals. Individuals, in this day cycle, were maxing out on credit, meaning not only were they not saving money, but they were spending money against future earnings (they were spending money against lean year receipts that are guaranteed by be weaker) so they could live even higher during the fat years.

The government didn't help. Low interest rates are conceived to turn the public into debt slaves and make a killing for the banks and make for bubbles in the economy. Bubbles make people feel richer, and are good for electoral politics.

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS/GOLD RATIO AND DAY AND NIGHT CYCLES

Rather that facing our own insolvency, we are pretending that everything will be ok, once the markets 'recover'. But they can't recover until we face our insolvency and take steps to recognize and wind down debt.

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS/GOLD RATIO AND DAY AND NIGHT CYCLES

Actually, I haven't studied the Mayan Calendar. I'm not sure about their logic. My view on Night Cycles (which are the 'End of Days') is that they occur on small and larger scales: every day we get a literal night cycle; every eighteen years we get another one.....they will also occur on the very large scale when the universe stops expanding and experiences the Big (Credit) Crunch and begins collapsing in on itself.

Time for the U.S. Economy to Reindustrialize

We can have both: a knowledge-based economy AND a manufacturing/industri... economy. I don't know who came up with the great idea that exporting well-paying manufacturing jobs to Mexico and Asia and expanding service jobs in America was the ticket -- well, yes, I guess American business came up with this idea.

The's the 'bottom line' philosophy at work. We need more than the 'bottom line' philosophy. Enhancing shareholder value is NOT the only viable creed for business. Japan has a 'employee for life' philosophy. There are different ways of doing things, depending upon how highly you put ethics and doing the right thing for the society. If you view the public as lambs to be slaughtered -- the 'bottom line' philosophy -- then social catastrophe is guaranteed. In America we like to fight, we like to have adversaries: the working man (unions) is the enemy of business (although thinly disguised); and the consumer is a fool ripe for fleecing.

Business in America needs to grow a soul. We need to realize we are all in this together. If Goldman Sachs wants to treat Americans like peasants, then the peasants just might treat Goldman Sachs like the French peasants treated Marie Antoinette.

Vietnam Gets the Gold Bug

I am living in Vietnam; and gold is very hot here. Gold is hot; real estate is not so hot.

The instapost above shows you why gold will rally until about 2019. Real estate will decline until about 2019. But don't fall in love with gold. Once the selling starts in about 2019, gold won't rise again until 2037.

Can Gold Supplant Commodities in Your Portfolio?

Get into gold now -- and stay in until about 2019. See the instapost above to find out why.

Get out of gold around 2019. Once the selling start in about 2019, gold will fall again until 2037.

New Junior Gold Miners ETF Launches: As Volatile As It Gets

Owning juniors will be the best way to go, eventually. See the instapost above and see how and why the gold bull market will run until about 2019.

Don't fall in love with gold. After 2019, selling comes in and gold sinks for 18 years.

Do We Goldbugs Finally Have Your Attention?

By the way, don't fall in love with gold. It's cyclical life-span runs up until about 2019; then there will be 18 years of decline.

Do We Goldbugs Finally Have Your Attention?

Take a look at the chart above and the Dow Jones/Gold ratio. It corresponds almost perfectly to our Day-Cycle, Night-Cycle theory.

I really think so.

Triumph of the Market Realists, Part II

"...gold is almost always just being held in order that it might later be sold, to a greater fool, at a profit."


That's the story of ALL investments, isn't it -- certainly no less true with stocks that with gold.

Gold Rush to the Moon

After all this, you haven't lost faith in 'private industry'? I'm not so sure 'greed' is the best motivator of human enterprise. I may have believed it ten years ago -- but not any more.
