Americans can turn pretty much anything into a "holiday." Even a groundhog.
I guess Groundhog Day isn't a holiday, strictly speaking. I mean, I don't get a day off work. And the government doesn't close. That's when you know you have a real holiday. Government shuts down and my mailbox isn't filled with inane fliers and bills. By that measure, Groundhog Day doesn't qualify as a holiday.

The tipster confirmed I was spot on – however, I barely scratched the…

Gold’s relationship with inflation expectations has gotten interesting lately.

During the last 90 minutes of trading on Wednesday, the Dow Jones Index tanked by 400 points.  Supposedly, the steep selloff had something to do with the release of the Fed minutes.  However, today, the market has reversed once again and is up by 200 points.  Unfortunately for mainstream investors, it doesn’t matter what the...

The Fed has paint itself into a corner, an imminent economic crisis is coming

"With the best of intentions, the noble planner makes their best guess of the appropriate price control. Then things invariably go haywire."

"California has an economy bigger than all but a handful of countries. This is where a municipal crisis would be systemic."

According to The Fed's The System Open Market Account (SOMA), a little over $4 billion of Treasury Notes has bit the dust reducing the Fed SOMA T-Notes and T-Bond balance to  $2,286,512,380.60 (or $2.286 trillion).
