The US Economy Is A Gigantic Credit Bubble

I think the longest bull market in history already ended. We're in a correction right now, the first correction of the new bear market.

This idea that the US is the cleanest dirty shirt in the hamper is a bunch of nonsense. I mean the US economy is a gigantic credit bubble. Debt is at an all-time high on an individual level when you look at credit cards, student loans, auto debt... But more importantly the national debt: we're now running $100 billion per month deficit spending. We are borrowing more money now during this recovery than we did at any point during the Great Recession!

We Are In A Bear Market!

The financial media still doesn't get it. They are referring to the current decline in the stock market as a correction. It is not. We are in a bear market. The rally was the correction!

The Best Way To Use Gold

One of the best ways that man has figured out how to use gold is as money. Gold has been money for thousands of years and the reason it's lasted so long is because it works so well. But governments often try to control our lives and one of the things they try to do is control money, change money and substitute money for what we now use as fiat currencies.

Fiat currencies are just pieces of paper that governments declare as legal tender and which have value purely based on faith and confidence in tradition. But they don't have any value based on the intrinsic properties that they possess because they don't possess any. They are simply pieces of paper, there's no difference between a hundred dollar bill and a one dollar bill other than the number of zeros that's written on the paper.
