We never thought it would happen.
But it has.
Although we still can’t believe it.
We never thought we would put the words “good article” and “Michael Pascoe” in the same sentence. Never.
It was something that we expected to go to our grave never having written.

But yesterday Mr. Pascoe surprised us with “Housing bubble trouble for the [...]

Much as we suspected in yesterday’s Money Morning, we’ve already seen the first stages of the institutionalisation of blatant money printing.
And not surprisingly it came from the market drones and Federal Reserve cheerleaders at CNBC.
Your editor wasn’t quick enough with the notepad and pen to jot down exactly what ‘Squawk on the Street’ host Erin [...]

We picked up our complimentary copy of Malaysia’s New Sunday Times as we checked out of the Concorde Hotel in Kuala Lumpur early yesterday morning.
We didn’t bother reading any of it until the mini-van (we only travel in style you know!) had dropped us off at the shiny and spotlessly clean Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
And [...]

Yesterday’s Money Morning seems to have kicked up a stink. So in a moment I’ll print some of the, erm, “feedback” we received.
But before you get to that, this…
The Super Theft rolls on. A $10 billion Super Theft no less.
The front page of today’s Australian Financial Review (AFR) announces: “Labor to reap $10bn in lost [...]

As Kris sets off to work on the next issue of Australian Small-Cap Investigator, I’ve got to be honest, I was scratching my head this morning wondering what to write about.
I thought about tackling property (again), but I’ve only just emptied the Money Morning mailbag from yesterday and so didn’t want to create more work [...]

Have you noticed? The property spruikers have been awfully quiet in recent weeks.
In fact, since we started our occasional ‘Preposterous Property Spruiking’ section we’ve been amazed at the, well, almost complete lack of preposterous property spruiking in the mainstream press.
Monday is usually the day when the spruiking is at its most [...]

If you’re one of the many Money Morning readers suffering from property and housing withdrawal symptoms then don’t worry, because this morning we’re back on the bandwagon.
And if you’re one of the many Money Morning readers who’s glad we’ve stopped banging the housing drum then all I’ve got to say is, “Sorry, we’ll have a [...]

You’ll remember this quote we relayed to you from one of Christopher Joye’s recent blogs at Business Spectator:
“There is an investment category out there that you likely have a large chunk of your wealth tied up in. The problem though, is that it is literally 11.6 times riskier than ‘cash’… Australian equities also don’t stack [...]

We’ll poke a stick at property and inflation today.
Inflation, if mixed with deflation is fine. Prices rise, then prices fall.
But inflation by itself, well, that isn’t good at all. If you look at the chart below, you can see perfectly how the value of money has been devalued almost without break for the [...]

You may have noticed yesterday’s Money Morning was more like Money Afternoon. However, you can be assured that contrary to one of the comments on the Money Morning blog…
“Maybe Chris and his mob have had him arrested for daring to challenge their idiocy?”
…We haven’t been arrested. Although as you’ll see below the property spruikers and [...]
