Greece well, is [...] www.goldcore.com /By Mark O’Byrne / 28 March 2013 Whoever thought we’d see the issue of safety of deposits come into question? We did. Since the Lehman Brothers debacle and near collapse of the world’s financial system, we said that there was a possibility that what happened in Argentina and Russia – capital [...] silverseek.com / Ranting Andy / Thursday, February 21st, 2013 More MISERABLE U.S. economic news – across the board – and European stocks plummeting due to political and economic issues everywhere.

We’ve also addressed why any EU sovereign default would bring about an epic meltdown as EU bonds, particularly those of Spain and Italy are the collateral [...] trumanfactor.com / By Peter Tchir / November 13, 2012 Many Names for the Same Problem In the U.S. we talk about Fiscal Cliff and Debt Ceiling. In Greece it has come down to Grexit. Spain still goes by Spanish Bailout or Spanish Unbailout as the case may be. Italy is in denial and hasn’t [...] rickackerman.com / By Rick Ackerman / October 26, 2012 7:23 AM GMT Mario Draghi, feather merchant to northern Europe, is once again plying his dubious trade, this time with a slick sales pitch designed to persuade Germany that he can “save” Europe with a financial scheme that makes alchemy look [...] dailyreckoning.com / By Dan Amoss / October 1, 2012 The stock market will not remain in its current tranquil state. Investors will soon be roused from their blissful trance. This trance traces its origins back to the mass self-delusion that central banks can revitalize multi-trillion-dollar economies, simply by prodding investors into stocks and other [...] zerohedge.com / By Tyler Durden / September 21, 2012 Moments ago we saw the following amusing headline crossing the BBG: ILLINOIS TEACHERS’ PENSION FUND CUTS RATE OF RETURN TO 8% FROM 8.5% It’s amusing because these are the same teachers who were demanding, and received, higher pay – 17% higher over four years in [...] dailyreckoning.com / By Joel Bowman / September 11, 2012 Paris, France – “If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.” — Sun Tzu “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” — Pablo Picasso —————————————————— We’re back in [...] wealthcycles.com / By Michael Maloney / September 4, 2012 The latest news from Europe reinforces our view that the Eurozone monetary pyramid scheme is teetering on the edge of a worldwide crash–a crash potentially large enough to rock the foundations of the U.S. institutions and the Federal Reserve’s paper dollar. Missing from [...] gainspainscapital.com / By Graham Summers / August 30, 2012 Mr Draghi… a few questions for you… You say that whatever measure you take… it will be “enough” to support the Euro. Seeing as you’ve already spent over €1 trillion via your LTRO 1 and LTRO 2 schemes only to find that: 1) [...] johngaltfla.com / By John Galt / August 16, 2012 19:05 ET While the American financial media continues its summer bliss of ignorance, failing to understand the reality on the ground in the PIIGS and Eastern European nations whose economies are collapsing, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard spells out a warning in tonight’s commentary from the U.K. Telegraph: [...] gainspainscapital.com / By Graham Summers / August 9, 2012 The markets are continuing their short squeeze, Euro-phoria induced lunacy. As a quick reminder the S&P 500 is up nearly 5% while many European indexes have rallied double digits (Spain’s Ibex is up an unbelievable 17%!) In light of this, we need to [...] lewrockwell.com / By Gary North / August 2, 2012 The Greek crisis was merely the warm-up act for the main show: the default of Spain and its much-denied departure from the euro. That departure will leave holders of Spanish bonds with IOUs in euros that will be paid interest in pesetas. These [...] goldswitzerland.com / July 25, 2012 Dr. Roberts was educated at the Georgia Institute of Technology (B.S.), the University of Virginia (Ph.D.), the University of California at Berkeley and Oxford University where he was a member of Merton College.

We are on a tour of Europe’s unraveling economies. Ireland…Spain…and now France. Spain was in the news again yesterday.

We are on the road to national financial oblivion yet most Americans don’t seem to care. They [...] dollarcollapse.com / By John Rubino / June 28, 2012 As everyone knows by now, Greece, Spain and the rest of the PIIGS countries can’t fix their economies because they can’t devalue. If they were still using their old national fiat currencies, so goes the conventional wisdom, they could just mark them down by 30% [...] marketoracle.co.uk / By Michael Pento / June 27, 2012 The global economy continues to falter and the pace of that slowdown is picking up. Recent data showed that German consumer confidence dropped the most since 1998, as Italian confidence dropped to an all-time record low. The level of Spain’s non-performing loans reached [...] With growth in Europe having been stomped out by austerity, the union’s leaders are gathering today in an attempt to kindle a new spark.

I made no apologies for my lack of sensibilities in a follow-up broadcast and still do not [...] goldmoney.com / June 26, 2012 We saw divergence yesterday between stocks and precious metals – with the former struggling as a result of more euro fears, while the latter rallied higher; the gold and silver selling at the end of last week once again tempting bargain hunters into precious metals. The US dollar also [...] gainspainscapital.com / By gpc1981 / June 25, 2012 Europe is heading into a full-scale disaster. You see, the debt problems in Europe are not simply related to Greece.
