Wall Street Will Be Blindsided by Currency Crisis (Video)
Peter Schiff begins hist latest video blog with a review of December’s dismal jobs numbers and the latest data that reveal how poor the supposed US economic recovery really is. He then explains why Janet Yellen will soon be facing a bigger crisis than Ben Bernanke had to deal with when he first took charge of the Fed in 2006.
The monetary policies pursued by Bernanke were far more reckless than the ones pursued by Greenspan. And therefore, the bubble is much bigger. And therefore, the damage to the economy when it pops will be much bigger… We’re going to have another crisis early in the Yellen term that will be bigger than the crisis that we had early in the Bernanke term. Wall Street and government are equally as prepared – they will be equally blindsided.”

California’s government bet that they knew better than the free market. And now millions are paying the price. The story begins in 1919, when the city of Berkley, California instituted legislation setting aside districts that would only allow the construction of single-family housing. The idea spread, and soon much of California’s urban areas had adopted the zoning policy. Today, approximately 40% of the total land in Los Angeles is […]“Safe Haven” Yen Trending Towards Zero Against Gold
The yen was once known as a safe-haven currency for investors to protect themselves when broader markets are shaky or other currencies are dropping, but those days are numbered. A stable government and consistent (and low) interest rates have been some of the driving factors, but it’s the unwinding of that ultra-low interest rate policy that will be the yen’s “safe […]Made in America: The Dark Forces Promoting American Manufacturing
Whenever an election year rolls around, domestic manufacturing becomes a more central theme of discussion. Candidates from both sides, who seem to disagree on almost everything else, never waver in their commitment to auto manufacturers in Detroit and the steel industry.

The wizards at the Fed and US Treasury have been forced to acknowledge that their “transitory,” inflation is, in fact, quite “sticky.” And with the inflation elephant now acknowledged by the circus of high finance, Treasury yields keep inching up, recently reaching 4.7% — the highest since November. The Fed is stuck: It needs to raise interest rates to tame inflation and […]
