The Wepner Rally  (Commentary of August 3, 2010)

Just as the "Bayonne Bleeder" improbably survived his encounter with heavyweight champ Muhammad Ali before finally succumbing just before the end of Round 15 in their 1975 fight, the stock market continues to stand erect.  But just as the courageous Wepner was finally stopped after repeated, savage combinations so, too, are stocks on wobbly legs as the economic news grows worse by the day.  The referee might be about to stop this fight too, and count this stock rally out...

An Inflation of Confusion 
                         (New Commentary of December 19, 2009)

“The Blind Leading the Blind” is the title of the December issue’s cover story. In it, we write of policymakers’ inability to do much more than play financial “Whack-a-Mole” as they frantically lurch from one doomed attempt to rescue the economy to another.

Likewise, most financial pundits don’t know which end is up; and this is especially true on the question of whether INFLATION or DEFLATION will be the dominant force in the days ahead of us.  This whole inflation-deflation debate is one we will be covering in even greater detail as the New Year commences.  Getting this issue right will be CRITICAL to your success as an investor.

 

 
     

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?

 

Is the Dollar's Next Leg Up at Hand? -- (Market comments - February 23, 2010)   

King Dollar -- (from the February 2010 issue) --
The least bad (right now, anyhow) of a bad lot is likely to
continue its bullish run, for the reasons outlined in the Feb. issue's cover story.

Bernanke Resurrects the Bond Market Vigilantes--
                                     (Posted October 10, 2009)

The Chairman of the Federal Reserve might know a thing or two about the causes of The Great Depression, but he is oblivious to what caused an historic event of far more recent vintage:  the Great Stock Market Crash of 1987.  That was caused by a rebellion in the Treasury market over (care to guess?) the Fed’s tardiness in defending the U.S. dollar.  Can you say “déjà vu all over again?”

 

            

 

OIL IS THE NEW GOLD…IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE! --
                          A Look at the New “Conspiracy” to Cap Oil Prices (from the August, 2009 issue)

           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 Euro's Turn in the Doghouse -- and the Next Key Level for the Dollar - January 20, 2010

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.”             

 

Alan Greenspan: A Lesson In Drunken Driving--January 29,2005

"Consumerism" Didn't Come About by Accident--(NOTE: This is an excerpt from Chris Temple's provocative Special Report entitled "Understanding the Game".)

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?

Greenspan Preaches What He Can't Practice -- (new commentary for May 7, 2004) -- Just like a preacher who extols the virtues of temperance while hiding a bottle of Jim Beam in his pulpit, so too does the Federal Reserve Chairman demand conduct of others that he won't--and actually CAN'T--practice himself
