"I'm Truly Starting To Fear The Worst For The US Car Industry..."
Authored by Ethan Gaines via A Cold War Relic blog, I love selling cars, the industry gave me a purpose after the shitty experience of being a corporate cog. But I’m truly starting to fear the worst for the American car industry. The industry has shown growth since the dark days of the recession but the business model morphed into an ugly free for all.
What Few Expect: Inflation Will Surge, Destabilizing The Status Quo
Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog, Few seem to ponder what global shortages in key commodities might do to prices. If there is any economic truism that is accepted by virtually everyone, it's that inflation is low and will stay low into the foreseeable future. The reasons are numerous: technology is deflationary, globalization is deflationary, central banks will keep interest rates near-zero essentially forever, and so on.
The Elites Are Jumping Ship As The Financial Collapse Draws Near
Authored by Mac Slavo via SHTFplan.com, It’s easy to think of the political and financial elites who run our world as lofty and all powerful. They command dangerous governments that can wield devastating weapons, central banks that treat our economy like a rigged casino, media conglomerates that pacify the minds of the public, and unbelievably wealthy corporations that have concentrated wealth to an unprecedented degree.
When Will The European Super-Bubble Pop?
Authored by Nick Giambruno via The Mises Institute, France’s new president can’t keep the European Union together. In early May, France elected globalist darling Emmanuel Macron. His victory gave the EU a short-term boost. However, it did not change the fundamental problems with Europe’s artificial mega-state. Doug Casey agrees: The EU was built upon a foundation of sand, doomed to failure from the very start.
Presenting SocGen's "Most Frightening Credit Chart"
"I sometimes feel like ‘The Grim Reaper’, scouring the research savannah in a ghoulish quest to harvest bad news with a forceful sweep of my scythe. Imagine then my perverse delight when our credit team produced what is one of the scariest charts I have seen for a very long time. Markets shrugged off the Brexit vote in a couple of days. They shrugged off Donald Trump’s election in a single day. They shrugged off the Italian Referendum result in a couple of hours.
Time Urges 65 Million Americans Who Voted For Hillary Not To Pay Taxes
Under the twisted premise of losing the popular vote and "no taxation without representation", TIME's Mark Weston proclaims that the approximately 65 million Democrats who voted for Hillary Clinton should pledge "we won’t pay taxes to the federal government... until democracy is restored." Because, It's just not fair? Twice in the past 16 years, a Republican candidate who finished second in the popular vote has won the presidency.
S&P Sees A "Crisis Of Confidence Around The Globe" As Corporate Debt Hits $75 Trillion In 2020
In an analysis that may rival that infamous "McKinsey report" from early 2015 which found that not only had there been no deleveraging since the financial crisis but that total global debt has risen to an unprecedented $199 trillion as of 2014, or up by $52 trillion in 7 years, earlier today S&P Global Raters issued a new report in which it forecasts that global corporate debt is set to rise by 50% over the next four years, rising from $51.4 trillion currently to $75 trillion by 2020 as a...
Nigeria Currency Devaluation Looms As FX Forwards Crash To Record Lows
Despite US equity investors' exuberance over bouncing crude oil prices, the world's crude producers continue to suffer and while Venezuela is in the headlines every day (having already collapsed into chaos), Nigeria appears the nearest to that abyss next.
Zuckerberg To Meet Conservative Media Figureheads As Facebook Censorship Scandal Escalates
After last Monday's explosive claims published in Gizmodo, in which a former Facebook employer alleged that the "social network" has been "routinely" suppressing conservative news stories, the company and its CEO have been on the back foot defending themselves from, as expected, mostly a conservative media onslaught.
Taking The 'Petro' Out Of The Dollar
Saudi Arabia has been in the news recently for several interconnected reasons. Underlying it all is a spendthrift country that is rapidly becoming insolvent. While the House of Saud remains strongly resistant to change, a mixture of reality and power-play is likely to dominate domestic politics in the coming years, following the ascendency of King Salman to the Saudi throne. This has important implications for the dollar, given its historic role in the region.
Why Bob Pisani Asking If The Fed Is "Alarmed By Market Complacency" Is A Big Problem For Janet Yellen
"Is the Fed confusing the market?" That is how Bob Pisani' latest CNBC column begins, to which our logical response is "what market" - the "market" which any time it drops by 10% see every central bank unleashes historic jawboning and/or unprecedented monetary easing with QE (as in the case of the ECB now monetizing private bonds); the market which can not go below 2,000 without Yellen admitting her "dots" were twice as much as they should have been; the market which has been propped up only...
The First Oil-Exporting Casualty Of The Crude Carnage: Venezuela
In the aftermath of OPEC's failure to cut oil production, Russia has been acting surprisingly sanguine, perhaps as a result of less leverage in its system as compared to America's own high yield-funded shale complex - now that it is a race to who will default first and be forced to take production offline - with Putin today saying "Russia will cope with the rout in crude oil", and adding that “we are satisfied overall with the situation and do not see anything so extraordinary in what is...
