Super Bull Market in Gold About to Start [Video]

Super Bull Market in Gold About to StartGreg Hunter – Renowned geopolitical and financial cycle expert Charles Nenner has been warning of a huge war and financial cycle, and it is clear both continue to build.  The war cycle will continue to amplify until World War III breaks out.  Meanwhile, unpayable debt will continue to explode until another Great Depression hits America again.  Standing in the gap is gold, and the wait for a bull market is about over.

Nenner explains, “The dollar’s buying power could possibly  be cut in half. . . . That’s the reason why we expect a super bull market in gold and silver when the cycle bottoms.  You remember I came on and said coming, coming, but not yet?  I say it was too early . . . but, now, we are getting very close to a bull market.  . . . Gold could still have one more down move because the cycles are still down.” Continue reading

The U.S. Housing Market: Rent-Serfs and Artificial Scarcity

The U.S. Housing Market: Rent-Serfs and Artificial ScarcityCharles Hugh Smith – Ideologies sound wonderful in the abstract, but run aground in the granular real world. The dominate ideology in the world today isn’t a political ideology, it’s the ideology of the market: in this ideology, the market is presented as the ideal problem-solving mechanism, as the interplay of supply and demand and the free flow of capital and labor will automatically fill unmet demand with new supply and provide competition that increases quality and reduces costs.

Let’s consider how the market functions in the real-world U.S. housing market. Take a mixed-use neighborhood of single-family homes with a scattering of low-rise rental buildings. It’s desirable but still affordable to buyers and renters alike. Continue reading

Understanding the Military Lending Act

Understanding the Military Lending ActIn the vast expanse of financial legislation, the Military Lending Act (MLA) stands as a fortress, designed to shield active-duty service members, their spouses, and dependents from the financial onslaughts that can accompany military life.

Enacted in 2006 by the Department of Defense, this federal law serves as a bulwark against predatory lending practices. For those in the military community, including those considering a VA debt consolidation loan, understanding the MLA is akin to learning the rules of engagement in financial warfare – it equips you with the knowledge to use it to your best advantage.

The “Phantom Legion” Problem

The "Phantom Legion" ProblemCharles Hugh Smith – Of the many signs of systemic decay in the late Roman Empire, one of particular relevance to our era is the Phantom Legion, military units that on paper were at full strength–and paid accordingly–but which were in reality no longer there: the paymaster collected the silver wages and recorded the unit’s roll of officers and soldiers, but it was all make-believe.

When the Empire’s wealth seems limitless, graft, embezzlement and fraud all seem harmless to those skimming the wealth. Look, the Empire is forever, what harm is there in my little self-interested skim? Continue reading
