• The Trade of the NEXT Decade

  
  The Daily Reckoning — Authority: 627
  No, dear reader…it’s not that simple. It never is. That’s true of almost everything…. The bond market has begun to sell off. The big question is: what does it mean? Is it A sell-off? Or THE sell-off? We’ve done well with our simple trade for the last ten years. We bought gold. We sold stocks. But ...

• Trying to Revive an Economic Corpse

  
  The Daily Reckoning — Authority: 627
  We’re coming to the end of the year… What have we learned? Here’s how we would put it, a four-word lesson that applies to almost everything: “It’s Not That Simple.” We were on pretty solid ground – at least as far as understanding what was going on in the markets and the economy – up until the ...

• Our 2009 Christopher Columbus Prize

  
  The Daily Reckoning — Authority: 627
  Beginning a new tradition, we give an award to the person who has done the dumbest thing in the financial world during the preceding 12 months.

  The world of Christendom is hushed in anticipation today. But the noise keeps coming from the financial world. Yesterday, the Dow held steady. The dollar too. Gold, though, rose $7.

• BRICs in the Golden Power Struggle

  
  The Daily Reckoning — Authority: 627
  As near as we can tell, gold is fairly priced. It will buy about as much as it would have bought 500 years ago…or 2,000 years ago, for that matter. That’s what’s nice about it. It doesn’t make you any money, but it doesn’t lose you any money either. Of course, the price of gold can still vary substantially. ...

• Prepared for an Exceptional Correction

  
  The Daily Reckoning — Authority: 627
  The price of gold fell $15 yesterday, to close below $1,100. We expected a correction in the gold market. But we thought it would come along with a correction in the stock market. Stocks rose 85 points on the Dow yesterday. We take this as a warning: something is going on that we don’t understand. That said, ...

• The Most Mischievous Actions of Mr. Market

  
  The Daily Reckoning — Authority: 627
  Nothing much happened in the markets on Friday. So, we’ll stop to think a bit about what has happened this year…and this decade. You’ll recall, of course, our Trade of the Decade – buy gold on dips…sell stocks on rallies. Well, we’ve been very happy with it. But the decade is coming to an end. It’s time ...

• Strategically Defaulting on “Shadow Inventory”

  
  The Daily Reckoning — Authority: 627
  Ben Bernanke is Time’s “Man of the Year.” Reading the commentary, it is clear that the popular press has even less of an idea of what is going on than Bernanke himself. The more we think about it, the more our jaw drops. In Copenhagen this week, a large group of apparatchiks and hacks got together to discuss ...

• Studying History in the Post-Bubble World

  
  The Daily Reckoning — Authority: 627
  It must be snowing all over Europe. Zurich was beautiful in the snow. So is Paris. The snow seems to quiet the place down…and cover over its imperfections. And the cafes and bars…brightly lit, warm and charming…are so inviting you can barely make it home at night. This morning, it is still snowing. We were ...

• Depression on Wheels

  
  The Daily Reckoning — Authority: 627
  When the price of oil hit $150 a barrel, the first major alarm sounded. Something was wrong. Now we have a clearer idea of what it was. To make a long story short, leading economists have a one-stop solution for just about everything: stimulate consumer spending. But $150 oil warned us: continue down that road and ...

• Awaiting a Fix of the Bubble Mistakes

  
  The Daily Reckoning — Authority: 627
  Gold rose $15 yesterday. What to make of it? Perhaps it was because Ben Bernanke’s extended his “extended period” pledge? He said, in effect, if this economy doesn’t come out of its slump, it won’t be his fault. He’ll keep monetary policy as loose as possible for as long as possible. Not that we had any ...

• Sit Back and Enjoy the Depression

  
  The Daily Reckoning — Authority: 627
  What happened in the gold market yesterday? The price of the yellow metal held steady. So what do you do? Is this the dip you should buy? Well, as we keep saying…it depends. A few months ago, our view was simpler. We trusted gold because we didn’t trust central bankers. We still trust gold. And we still don’t ...

• Can Inflation Fix the US Economy?

  
  The Daily Reckoning — Authority: 627
  Are we in a depression yet? The number of Americans living on food stamps has risen to 37 million. Food stamps are the soup lines of the ’00s. And what else was big in the ’30s? Escapist movies. Here’s a headline for you: “Box office takings set to smash records,” says The Financial Times . What kind of ...

• The Global Attack on Bankers at Large

  
  The Daily Reckoning — Authority: 627
  Cleaners provide society with more value than bankers, says a report on the BBC.
