Economics is much like meteorology, we reckon. Today’s report is as much for me (personally) as it is for subscribers as we line up the “match points” between the Great Depression and what’s evolving. Rather interesting exercise to try next time you can’t sleep and it’s 2 AM. Really ought to try it. Many have … Read More

Two parts to this morning’s report. First, the non-mathematical reason why economic depression is semi-inevitable. Stay tuned. It follows-on from wild price appreciation coming to virtually everything this fall.
