Barack, the Magic Loan Officer(New Commentary--posted December 27, 2009) In a play on an infamous parody of President Obama that occurred during the election campaign, Chris here comments on how a doomed president is trying to use the “magic” of his persona to do what is at the same time both impossible and crazy: force America’s banks into making even more loans to businesses and consumers who can’t afford them and—in the case of consumers—increasingly don’t want them. Wow…this is all this supposed channeler of JFK can come up with?

OIL IS THE NEW GOLD…IN
MORE WAYS THAN ONE! -- The looming collapse in the oil price will merely be a function of the markets, due to bets on rising commodities generally and a falling U.S. dollar being overdone, and needing to be unwound some. What few understand, however—and what Chris explained in this, the cover story of our August issue—is that a lower oil price is now POLICY as well.

"The Yes, We Can!
Market" -- Commentary of July 27, 2009Posted July 14, 2009 Looking For a Bottom in Housing (from the June, 2009 issue)-- It is impossible to correctly gauge the health of the real estate market and, thus, of the overall economy without an understanding of the MECHANICS by which the late real estate bubble came into being. We’ll show you how it was created in both Washington, D.C. and on Wall Street by the same folks who now are frantically trying to control the damage that THEY wrought. You’ll also learn why it’s a MATHEMATICAL IMPOSSIBILITY for real estate to be anywhere near a “bottom.”

DIVERSIONS (excerpted from the September, 2004 Special Report entitled "Understanding the Game") -- Everyone is looking for a scapegoat to blame for the heavy losses on Wall Street since the great bull market bubble began losing its air over four years ago. But I have news for you: the culprits are not Ken Lay and Martha Stewart. Will the real truth ever come out? Will the needed monetary reform result? Or, instead, will we soon be treated to guillotines on Wall Street to punish the "aristos?"
Greenspan to Play "Chicken" With Oil? -- (from the August, 2004 issue) -- Just when we think we have the Fed chairman figured out, he throws us yet another curve. Of all the times to get serious about "inflation," is The Maestro about to plunge us into recession by "playing chicken" with oil?
