    Receipts, Outlays, and Surpluses or Deficits

    by BMG Admin on February 22, 2012


    The government and the Fed fought the bursting technology bubble and the recession with the same tools used in previous decades. The Greenspan Fed lowered the fed funds rate from a high of 6.5% in 2000 to 1.0% by the summer of 2003. The Bush administration ramped up government spending dispelling the myth of government surpluses. The deficit exploded along with government spending.”

      Gold in a Financial Crisis

      February 17, 2012

      Gold Forecaster – Why Gold, “In Extremis?” Are we there?

      February 16, 2012

      The timing of such an event lies in the hands of both politicians and bankers. Gold will return to its true position when a situation develops that forces their hand to act. That will be when credibility of one currency or another is on the brink of collapse [“in extremis”]. Such a change will also be made to prevent ‘contagion’ to other currencies. We have no doubt that contingency plans for this have already been made. In 2012 or 2013, sometime appears most likely as we are close now to a potentially messy exit from the Eurozone by Greece.

      It Is Safe To Resume Ignoring The Prophets Of Doom…Right?

      February 14, 2012

      Back in 2005, economist Nouriel Roubini (Dr. Doom) was written off by most as having a fringe view that merited little attention.
