Is Trump Really the Answer?

October 13, 2016

Well, of course not. NOBODY is willing to run for office that you would say is truly qualified. The other crazy aspect is that people really think electing a president could change something. Hillary is the corrupt politician gone wild. Not that she is the only one by far. She is just the poster-child for everything […]

Launching Socrates – New Payment System

October 12, 2016

We are planning to launch Socrates hopefully with the WEC in November. Because of the constant problems with PayPal getting fined for various things from deceptive practices to allowing money to be transferred to people on sanction lists, the response back has been excessive scrutiny to the point of absurdity. PayPal is also not accepted […]

Market Talk – October 12, 2016

October 12, 2016

Another weak session for the Nikkei despite a brief run at the psychological 17k mark just ahead of lunch. However, it wasn’t to be and the sentiment from a weak US session finally penetrated what euphoria there was and eventually saw the Nikkei close around 1% lower on the day. In mainland China the Peoples […]

Am I Biased for Trump?

October 12, 2016

COMMENT:  Mr.Armstrong, I am wondering why you haven’t commented on the recent Trump scandal about the video with Billy Bush? Constantly seeing articles on how corrupt Hillary is but obviously you are biased towards Trump winning for not making a statement about his misogynist comments about women! Sincerely, PH REPLY: There is a huge difference […]

Are we Being Prepared for World War III?

October 12, 2016

The choice for president has never been so bad. The latest polls show 63% of voters said Clinton is overly secretive, 55% said she was corrupt, and 52% said she was “extremely liberal.” This is very interesting since the only presidents since 1900 to be elected with greater than 60% of the popular vote were Lyndon Johnson in […]

Market Talk – October 11th, 2016

October 11, 2016

Japan finished on a strong note but it was a disastrous opening (following oil) that it had to spend the rest of the day recovering from but a near 1% better close certainly helped confidence into European trading. Shanghai opened well and continued strongly, eventually closing +1,4% firmer. However, the Hang Seng was anything but […]

Peak in Bonds/Low in Interest Rates – Is it Time Yet?

October 11, 2016

If there was ever any question that this is a bond bubble with a 5,000-year low in interest rates, the final bit of insanity just took place. Italy managed to sell its first 50-year bond last week as investors were betting that the European Central Bank might soon add ultra-long debt to its asset-purchase stimulus […]

War Cycle on Target – Sad to Say

October 11, 2016

All indications are now pointing to war between the USA and Russia. It appears the powers that be in Washington fear a Trump victory and he would end nation building. The military needs to start a war now because if Trump were elected, he would not go along with this mess. Even Russian TV is […]
