As investors and market strategists sift through every new economic tea leaf for clues about the health of the U.S. economy, I am reminded of a group of railroad engineers discussing the structural qualities of the track bed while an overloaded freight train careens around a sharp turn. For those not lost in the inconsequential minutia, a severe recession is an outright certainty, regardless of what current statistics might indicate on a day-to-day basis. Full Story |

THE BANK of ENGLAND – still known as the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street after a satirical cartoon of the 18th-century – voted this week to keep Sterling interest rates on hold for another month. The forex market hated it. Ahead of the decision, futures prices had put the chance of a further baby-step increase to 5.50% at around fifty-fifty. That would have taken Sterling rates above US Dollar rates for the first time since March last year. Full Story |

My first graph that I generally display every week is gold but this week I am displaying uranium’s graph. And why? Uranium is now trading at 95 dollars a pound and it still is being ignored by the general masses. Should even pass 100 shortly. Full Story |

No, I don't mean its arrest of fifteen British low-rank military people who were taking a boat ride in long-disputed waters dividing Iraq and Iran. That was just a bit of old- fashioned tail-twisting of the British lion, which has been close to toothless ever since 1945. I mean this: Iran is planning to stop using the U.S. dollar to price oil, with less than half of its oil income now paid in the U.S. currency, Iran's central bank governor said. Full Story |

Inflation is not an even game, it is not a fair game, and we are not all in this boat together. For inflation is not about destroying everyone’s wealth – it is about redistributing that wealth, and if you don’t understand this, then it will likely be your wealth that will be getting redistributed.

Is the economy about to experience one last boom before everything comes crashing down? iTulip founder Eric Janszen evidently thinks so, and that is the crux of my argument with him. We debated this issue yesterday, along with some others, including whether economic life as we know it will end in inflation or deflation. Regular readers of Rick’s Picks will already know where I stand on that last question. As far as I’m concerned, there is no avoiding deflation. Eric doesn’t entirely disagree with his, but he does think the Fed will be able to avoid economic disaster for at least a few more years. Full Story |

How can the media ignore, unless it is by design, the overwhelming evidence that corporate interests have created the world’s first truly global empire in which you are about to be enslaved. This empire has inflicted increased misery and poverty on millions of people on our planet, in addition to the unspeakable wars they have planned, financed and operated on both sides. They have sabotaged the principles of self-determination, justice, and freedom that form the foundations of our country and have turned our wonderful country and people into feared, resented and hated objects of derision all over the world. Most reading this will turn their back on what we say, because they are not truth seekers. They are only interested in money and in not upsetting the system. Real Americans cannot ignore the truth.

But what's beginning to matter most to the global investment industry isn't the mere basis-point profits it can clip selling Yen to buy Dollars...or selling Dollars to buy stocks. Easy money only makes sense when you trust the money it pays. And now, as 2007 unfolds, investors are increasingly questioning the value of money – measured by the real risk-free return paid by cash in the bank. It looks certain to shrink further. Full Story |

Money must be getting tight, as Total Fed Credit was up only $1 billion last week, foreign central banks are cutting back on their gluttony (adding only $4 billion to their holdings at the Fed), and I am being forced to make the painful choice between paying for the kids' damned dental problems or getting that expensive new driver that is GUARANTEED to give me another 15 yards off the tee and cure my accursed fade-away slice problems forever, which will (in the final analysis) make me a whole lot happier, and last a hell of a lot longer, too, than anything that stupid dentist does ("See you again in six months, suckers!").

If you knew about an investment that, by conservative estimates, would increase in value 47% in the next 18 months, would you buy it? Well, today I want to tell you about such an investment — uranium. Heck, just a few months ago, I said uranium would hit $100 per pound by the end of this year. It looks ready to hit that target this month! Full Story |

I write today about investments in general. But I want to make it clear that I am not intending to offer personal financial advice on how anyone should invest. You can’t offer anyone specific financial advice unless you are familiar with their personal financial situation. That may sound contradictory, since I have been an outspoken advocate for the merits of silver, but I don’t see it as contradictory. I observe the silver market closely, offer my analysis and opinion and back up what I write with factual data. After that, the individual must decide. Full Story |

In short, the global boom in all asset prices has come thanks to one major bear market – the bear market in money. Government-led and central bank-sanctioned, it has now halved the value of US Dollars versus gold. It's pushed Sterling and Swiss Francs down 40% since 2003...knocked the Euro 30% lower in the last two years alone...and sent the Japanese Yen reeling to just two-thirds of its value since the Bank of Japan cut its rates to 0.10% in Sept. 2001.

So far, Dr. Bernanke has yet to face expiry or exercise of his predecessor's undated promise to the markets. But with US Dollar interest rates now at 5.25%, there are 17 baby-steps between here and the "emergency" rate of 1% that Greenspan oversaw in response to the Tech Stock collapse. How low might Bernanke now go? Choosing more easy money to fix the problems caused by too much easy money will only store up fresh trouble ahead. It would also throw gasoline onto gold's smoldering bull market. That doesn't mean the US Fed won't try it regardless. Full Story |

Because Citigroup has been in the financial dog house lately, we look to the shares of Goldman Sachs Group for clues about the health and longevity of this bull market, now in its 24th year. It stands to reason that a company so thoroughly entrenched in the smoke-and-mirrors business, not to mention extremely well-connected to people in high places, would outperform until the U.S. economy toppled over the edge.

One thing is for sure, Fed Chairman Bernanke believes that inflation will fail to moderate and that it is the biggest risk and threat to future economic growth. This has to be inescapable to the Fed as they continue to increase money and credit by 10% or more. Now that the likes of Asia and particularly China are expanding, consumption pushing up commodities demand, that we can expect very little helping the future from globalization as a means to reduce inflation with cheaper export products. As domestic foreign demand increases so will prices. That means export prices will rise as well. The alternative to inflation via investment is gold and silver related assets. Full Story |

While Iran has the world’s second largest reserves of Natural gas and also one of the world’s largest reserves of oil the long term energy situation here is far from bright. This is the life line of its economy yet the Iranian government is investing surprisingly rather small sums in maintaining the infrastructure and or increasing current production. Full Story |
