Two months ago, in FINANCIAL MARKETS REACHED A “SINGULARITY” NO ONE WANTS TO DEAL WITH, I tried to highlight how legacy economic theories—built on assumptions that never fully materialized decades ago—are now ineffective in today’s economic context. In that article, I emphasized five key points: Today, @thesiriusreport posted one of…

IS THE OIL PRICE ABOUT TO BECOME A KEY TOPIC OF THE US PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN?
Oil price is perhaps the most manipulated asset price right now after gold and silver managed to escape BIS trading desk claws lately. Let’s start from where we left this topic almost one year ago when the Biden administration successfully managed to crush the oil price through the floor all…
FED ACTION TODAY MARKS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE FIAT MONETARY SYSTEM EXPERIMENT
The FED just delivered an oversized cut with the S&P500 trading at all-time highs, signalling that, contrary to their mandate, their focus isn’t the economy anymore but to deliver the political agenda of the US Administration in charge. That the FED is now clearly solely focused on defending the stock…
HOW THE US TREASURY HAS BEEN ACTIVELY CONTRIBUTING TO INFLATE THE STOCK BUBBLE, BUT NOW IS RUNNING OUT OF ROOM TO DO SO
So many people lately have been talking and writing a lot about the US Treasury “Buy Back” program officially started in May this year with the excuse of improving liquidity in the US Treasuries market (Debt buyback program set to improve liquidity, says US Treasury official). However, what many fail…
HOW COULD JAPAN RECOVER SO FAST FROM THE WORST CRASH SINCE 1987? THANKS TO ITS GPIF “ANGEL”
No person can pretend to know everything; it is simply not humanly possible. If anyone claims to do so, more often than not, they actually know little in reality. Personally, I use an investigative approach in everything I do, most of all to fill the gaps in my ignorance. This…
CHINA HAS BEEN THE FIRST ONE TO ABANDON THE QE ABERRATION, WHO IS GOING TO BE NEXT?
“Higher stock prices will boost consumer wealth and help increase confidence, which can also spur spending. Increased spending will lead to higher incomes and profits that, in a virtuous circle, will further support economic expansion.” This is how on the 5th of November 2010 the almighty Ben Bernanke himself was…
THE PROOF THAT THE US BLS IS MAKING UP NUMBERS OUT OF THIN AIR
By now we know that US BLS data are totally unrealistic for anyone who lives in the real world. My goal in this article is to demonstrate how, after 2020, the BLS has been literally making up numbers that go against any law of statistics. First of all, let’s start…
HOW LOW WILL THE EUR SINK THIS TIME?
Last week, the European Central Bank (#ECB) didn’t make a policy mistake. As we discussed in “AFTER JAPAN, NOW IT’S EUROPE’S TURN TO SACRIFICE ITSELF TO KEEP THE US MARKET BUBBLE ALIVE UNTIL THE ELECTIONS”, they simply acted to serve the US Federal Reserve (#FED) interests. The market now expects…
HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF DUMB (CENTRAL BANKS) AND DUMBER (GOVERNMENTS)
Have you ever watched the movie “Dumb and Dumber”? If you have not, you should. If that’s not your genre, at least do me a favor and watch this 41-second video clip here before reading this article. “That’s as good as money sir, those are IOUs”, isn’t this sentence striking…
AFTER JAPAN, NOW IT’S EUROPE’S TURN TO SACRIFICE ITSELF TO KEEP THE US MARKET BUBBLE ALIVE UNTIL THE ELECTIONS
At the European Central Bank (#ECB), they are so adamant about cutting rates lately that they are barely sparing a single day to remind markets about it (The time is ripe to cut interest rates next week, European Central Bank’s Rehn says). But, why such a rush when, even according…
