The next big government spending spree

by John Browne Baltimore — (TFN): As the economic indicators turn down and election year politics heats up, the calls from politicians for more government intervention and enhanced economic stimulus are becoming more strident.

Dollar Bear torpedoes the Fed’s “Strong Dollar Policy”

Baltimore — (TFN): Ever since Robert Rubin began the tradition in the mid-1990s, it has been a significant element of the Treasury Secretary’s job description to continuously state that a strong dollar is in the national interest.

Dollar Bear takes on inflation hunters at the Fed

by John Browne Baltimore — (TFN): This week I watched Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke charm the rain-soaked graduating class of Harvard, my Alma Mater.

Dollar Bears should not be afraid to buy gold

Dollar Bear takes on the Statistical Battle Ground

by John Browne “Although it is standard procedure for governments to soothe their citizenry with placebo politics to avoid panic and uprising, there is a line after which such a campaign is counterproductive.

Dollar Bear: It’s not oil, it’s the dollar crisis

by Peter Schiff Baltimore — (TFN): It’s unfortunate that the Supreme Court, ruling that U.S. currency is unfair to the blind, did not make the next logical step and declare it unfair to everyone who buys gasoline.

Dollar Bear: China’s Simple Solution

Dollar Bear: The Ticking Credit Card Bomb

by Peter Schiff Baltimore — (TFN): For those holding out hope that the American economy can miraculously avoid a long and deep recession, consumer credit is often viewed as the wonder drug that can cure all manner of economic ills.

Dollar Bear: Why not let the markets decide

“Colleges and universities would simply be forced to offer affordable tuitions or go out of business—just the way they used to back in my father’s day.

Recession 2008: GE’s Warnings Show how the Crisis is Spreading

By John Browne, Euro Pacific Capital - Senior Market Advisor Baltimore — (TFN): Last week, General Electric — one of the finest companies in the world and an American icon — announced a major fall in earnings.

Dollar Bear: Hyperinflation meets the next Great Depression

“Although Bernanke may have spent much time studying the Great Depression, his understanding of it is anything but sound. That epic “slowdown” resulted from a series of policy mistakes, first by the Federal Reserve and then by the Federal Government. Bernanke believes these mistakes were simply not large enough.” — Peter [...]

Dollar Bear: The Fed’s assault on the free markets

by Peter Schiff Baltimore — (TFN): Those blindsided by the recent financial meltdown are now loudly blaming the free market for its failure to police its own excesses, and are calling for greater regulation to prevent future disasters. But for those who clearly observed the problems developing (in high-definition slow motion), the blame can be directed squarely [...]

Hyperinflation: The Fed is setting the stage for the next bubble

by John Browne Baltimore — (TFN): On March 31, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson announced the laying of the government’s foundation stone for the next big financial bubble, heralding an era of hyperinflation and probable further runs on the U.S. dollar.

Dollar Bear: The rich are getting poorer

"There is little doubt that the vast amounts of cheap, U.S.-dollar liquidity pumped into both American and international economies by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board(particularly under former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan averted some naturally occurring and corrective recessions and led to a series of unprecedented asset booms. The mistake was in thinking that this virtual [...]

Dollar Bear: “They still don’t get it!”

by Peter Schiff  Baltimore — (TFN): Prior to my last appearance on CNBC in October 2007, I had made more than 50 appearances on the network over the prior two years.

Dollar Bear: Inflation is United States’ top export

by Peter Schiff Baltimore — (TFN): Unfortunately one of the few things still made in America is inflation.  In fact, it now ranks as our greatest export. A significant by-product of the current global economic system, wherein Americans spend money they do not earn to buy foreign products that they do not make, [...]

US Recession: Stimulus madness

By Peter Schiff  Baltimore — (TFN): In the face of US recession, economic stimulus packages have become quite the rage.

[...]

Dollar Bear: “Gold is not a bubble!”

"Gold is not in a bubble market: The Fed is sending the message that inflation is going to get a whole lot worse and that it couldn’t care less. As the price of gold continues to climb as a result, look for more excuses to minimize the significance of the move." — Peter Schiff by Peter [...]
