We have had the “Arab Spring” and now it looks like we are about to enter the “The Russian Winter”. Make no mistake about it, there are no similarities to these movements. The aforementioned “Arab Spring” was touted by the media as democracy sprouting in the Arab nations, when in reality it was the Muslim Brotherhood employing their “useful idiots” to seize power and unify [...]
As I look at the gold market this week, I can’t help but think, what’s wrong with this picture? The excesses of European socialism are playing out in the European debt crisis. Greece is toast and Italy, France and Portugal may not be far behind. The question now becomes will the Euro survive? It doesn’t seem likely unless Germany throws itself onto the fires of [...]
The financial wizards of the European Union have finally come up with the solution to the Greek problem. The question now becomes, is this the solution or is it just enabling?
