In my most recent appearance on CNBC I debated Arthur Laffer, who gained fame during the Reagan administration for sketching his controversial "Laffer Curve" on a cocktail napkin. The encounter reaffirmed my belief that the same napkin would probably be large enough to hold the sum total of his economic wisdom. Full Story
Monetary theory, as practiced by today’s monetary wizards of finance, has not progressed beyond pre-Colonial times; yeah – if anything, it has regressed by a devolution from a sound hard money system of gold and silver coin, to today’s paper fiat debt-money that is drowning the world in its profligate over-issuance.

The beginning of this stagflationary period should provide a significant profit opportunity for Deepcaster readers and others who are aware of its beginning. There will be three primary causes for that inflation surge. Increasing demand from China, India and other developing nations will continue to juice rapidly increasing commodities prices. And the Fed's continued profligate printing of fiat currency and issuance of Treasury Securities will reduce the purchasing power of the dollar. Third, Congress' and the Administration's rampant spending and consequent government debt increases coupled with high level of consumer debt, will exacerbate the stagflationary forces. Full Story

You don’t have to be a genius to figure out that the best way to destroy our capitalist system is to debauch our currency. This is done by implementing a continuing process of inflation. By this method, government by stealth can confiscate, secretly, an important part of the wealth of its citizens. In the end inflation brings impoverishment to most. Full Story

In India a conservative society the economic boom of the last several years has transformed this nation. This year the number of individuals earning over 250,000 dollars more then doubled to over 50,000. While this number may seem small 10 years ago less then 10K individuals would have fallen in this category. As a result a new middle class has emerged and they are now trying to duplicate the so called American life style. Full Story

Things just do not make sense to me anymore, and it is that bewildering confusion and "fear of the unknown" that brings out the paranoid and panicky side of me, against which modern pharmaceutical science stands powerless, their expensive nostrums bouncing off of my frantic paranoia like bullets bounce off of Superman's Buns of Steel.

I cannot count the number of emails I receive from so many worried readers concerned about the direction of the gold price. If gold travels in a straight line up hill then it is rising too fast. If gold experiences a correction then the gold bull is dead and gold is soon to crash. Full Story

In the first half, Bob Chapman explains why he expects a 30-40% decline in the housing market. Bob remains bullish on the precious metals sector and expects a powerful rally to unfold in the coming months. He thinks 2009 could mark the beginning of the end for the stock market. He tells the listeners when to expect the Fed. to stop inflating the dollar and the resulting economic collapse. Next, Gary Kaltbaum examines the charts with an electron microscope. Gary continues to be impressed with the bond market but is skeptical with regard to stocks. Plus, Jack Chan delves further into the COT data and shares his trading techniques.
In the second half, legendary market timer, and investor, Arch Crawford will entertain and delight you with his novel trading approach and market experiences. Arch predicted the ominous 1987 crash almost 20 years ago. He sees a similar scenario leading up to another 1987 style crash. The market wizard is concerned by the convergence between the 4 year and 8 year cycle lows which could culminate with a monstrous decline. Arch opens his market play book and reveals when to expect the impending crash. Next, he tells the listeners to prepare for an incredible buying opportunity in the gold market. Arch believes that precious metals will soar to record heights in the next 12 months and which could develop into a $5,000-$10,000 peak in the years ahead. Also, he shares his most proprietary technical indicators and explains why they work. Arch is an energy bull and thinks that crude oil will rocket higher by as much as 200%. Full Story
The Fed has recently paused on it’s rate raising. With rate hikes non-existent for the time being many people are asking what this means for the economy. No matter what the fed does there is one investment vehicle available that will experience a bull market over the next few years. In these uncertain times that vehicle is gold. Even if we experience a period of prosperity the price of gold will likely increase. At the moment it is hard to find a scenario that doesn’t benefit gold. Full Story

We see many comments regarding the lack of interest in gold and silver, in spite of overwhelming fundamentals. Volume in Vancouver has fallen from 500 million shares a day to 35 to 100 million per day. Of course the summer has had a negative effect on all markets. When sentiment gets this low there is usually an explosion on the upside and everyone is caught flatfooted. Again, you buy them when nobody wants them and you have to be in the game to win and protect your assets. Full Story
Ted Butler sees silver strictly as a money-making opportunity. He predicts silver will rise ten times or more. That's the kind of gain that makes a difference in a person's life. He has assembled an army of facts to support his conclusion. He's developed a powerful intuition from his fifteen-year obsession with silver. No significant authority has ever challenged him head on and overturned any of his facts or major conclusions. There have been quibblers and back biters, but no one has persistently mounted a credible challenge to any of his main premises. Full Story

This week we revisit some ideas on how change occurs. We are in a transition in the world economy, and it sometimes helps to think about how these transitions take place. What is the mechanism for change? Can we see it coming soon enough to avoid the problems and take advantage of them? Full Story
I’ve been around professional traders for nearly thirty years, but I can’t recall ever hearing a one of them remark that it was particularly easy to make money at the time. It is only in retrospect that we wax nostalgic over the relative felicitousness of the markets at various times in the past. There was 1974, for instance, a year after listed options began to trade on the CBOE. Back then, any floor trader who could tally a bunch of nines would have understood that the ability to put on butterfly spreads for a net credit amounted to a license to print money. Full Story
