From time to time we get emails asking, “So, what you gonna do about it then?” Or “Why don’t you write to an MP or the newspapers to let them know about it?” Not surprisingly, we’ve received several such emails in recent days. Following on from the secret bank loans scandal… Before I go on, [...]

Yesterday I wrote to you about the silly headline in The Age newspaper. It was this: “Queensland rebuilding will boost GDP” Look, we love it when we see this kind of nonsense written. Simply because it gives us an excuse to again read Frederic Bastiat’s, “That Which is Seen, and That Which is Not Seen”. [...]

Before we get to today’s Money Morning we just had to relay the exciting news about the Queensland floods. According to today’s The Age: “Queensland rebuilding will boost GDP” We wondered how long it would take the mainstream press to roll out that old chestnut. The mainstream press’s new economic heartthrob, HSBC’s Paul Bloxham said: [...]

Good morning reader. It’s a new year. But, it’s the same old story. Nothing much has changed. We’re tempted to say nothing has changed. But that wouldn’t be true. Things, even little things change. Even so, as we see it, the big things are just the same. We won’t list them all here. You already [...]

Have you checked your insurance policy lately? Is it up to date? Do you have any insurance? Are you under or over insured? Don’t worry, I’m not trying to sell life insurance.

You may have noticed that yesterday’s Money Morning didn’t arrive in your inbox until late evening. Sorry about that. It seems we had a bit of jip with our email equipment. So, if you missed yesterday’s edition, just take another look in your inbox. You should have received it around 10pm – roughly eleven hours [...]

“Forget mining and central banks. Here’s the single most important gold supply issue today…”
IT WAS TOUGH once again to meet any gold “bears” at the London Bullion Market Association’s annual conference this year.
The bullish arguments you know already no doubt. Low-to-zero Western interest rates…plus a growing clamor to buy gold amongst Chinese households (the Middle [...]

“Haven’t we seen this before, in 1923…?”
The BIG MONEY flows from the biggest trends, of course. But even the brightest people, and with the best of intentions, can struggle to see today what hindsight will say you could have banked on.

Your editor is so consumed by trying to finish off the September issue of Australian Small-Cap Investigator that our pea-sized brain is incapable of thinking about anything else this morning.

But before I do that, you’ll recall that we [...]
