Gold, IMO reacts more to low/falling/negative real interest rates. When rates eventually rise of necessity, gold could be in for a big tumble. I'm not sure when that will be if ever in the next 10 years (look at Japan). However, to your point, there are times when inflation hits and the...

You guys do realize that there is an in between where gold can increase in value significantly and the shit does NOT hit the fan, right? There are varying levels of inflation, real interest rates and currency values, and you don't necessarily have to have WWIII to make gold attractive.

Same with Keynesian economics. On it's premise it's highly sensical and would work if actually followed..... in good times build reserves and in bad times spend to stimulate the economy. Of course actually operating Keynesian monetary policy "by the book" is 100% impossible because of human...

It doesn't, but I've been successful as an employee, as a business owner, and managing my own portfolio. Maybe you can figure out a way to monetize your reading comprehension some day.

I own and operate a business and manage my own portfolio in my free time. Either way, I'm not waiting for the government to help me get a job. I'm very busy creating jobs however, and it's despite the government, not because of it.

If you need a government "jobs bill" to pass in order to get a job, it's very unlikely that you are a profitable trader. Btw, the Republicans have tried to pass several jobs bills, but they are DOA in the Senate (just like all of the budgets).

Socialism = power resides with the centralized bureaucrats and the unproductive who keep them in power True Capitalism = power resides purely in the free market place In the US we're probably somewhere in between but lean toward capitalism. That seems to be moving to the left however...

I think the key with MA strategies such as Mebane employs is saving you during a bear market. During bull markets it will under perform but still be positive. During volatile market phases it won't do to well because of whipsaws

Mebane's ETF seems to have a hard time making money with his strategies..... GTAA

Cutting off one's nose to spite their face comes to mind.

There still has to be buyers to bring the prices higher. I really don't think short sellers have much if any influence on the long term price performance of markets.

LOL that's hilarious. As if it's that easy

Where did the tax dollars for roads and infrastructure come from? From taxing successful people. Also, you act like only rich people are able to use this infrastructure and rule of law. The fact is that the overwhelming majority of all tax dollars are coming form successful people that...

Check into Zander Identity Theft insurance. It's $75/yr for a single person, $145 for family, up to $1mm in loss.

He should be thankful he's not hanging from a tree, IMO. Or at least thankful that there's not Republican in the WH right now.

What a dick....

This is a great idea, and one that I would get behind, but you're living in la la land if you think there is any chance that this could possibly happen. This would neuter governments completely and would likely reduce the size of government to about 1/10th its current form. There are WAY...

These things are really hard to predict and the future NEVER turns out as expected. I would say if Israel strikes Iran, that scenario would have definite potential to escalate into something beyond just Israel/Iran. It seems to me to have a true world war, you would need to involve two...

I agree

They are a HUGE net exporter, with very little consumption in the middle of a world wide race to devalue currencies. They have pumped and stimulated, built empty cities, and roads to nowhere as most Central Planned states do (USSR). Their crash is inevitable, IMO.
