Modern Monetary Theory v Central Bankers

March 7, 2019

QUESTION: Hi Mr. Armstrong et al: Read your blogs daily with great interest & recommend them to all my friends. You’ve absolutely changed my perspective on so many issues.

World Economy – Which End is Up?

March 6, 2019

QUESTION: Hey Martin First of all, great work with the new Socrates. Thank you very much for getting it to us. You have said that rates are exploding with fed raising rates for the pension funds and because of the lost confidence in government, at least here in Europe. Am I correct when I take […]

Markets Cheer a Recession?

January 31, 2019

The rally in gold and the stock market together is demonstrating that eventually, we will see the alignment as it transforms from Public to Private assets.

USA v Euro Capital Flows

November 27, 2018

  QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; Your forecast that the capital flows would shift from the EU to the USA I believe has been confirmed by both the European bond markets and share markets. The German DAX is trading below the low created in 2017 while the USA is trading above it. Is this confirmation that your […]

October 15, 2018

  The European Central Bank (ECB) will NOT aid Italy with an EU rescue program if the country or its banks are in financial turmoil.
