- A Derivatives Myth Exposed
- Jeff Nielson submits: It is common knowledge that Western banksters operate their own private “casino” - known as the global derivatives market. This unregulated “playground” for the most reckless generation of bankers the world has ever seen finally attracted wide-spread attention as the “notional value” of this casino/market soared...

- Housing Bottom - Oh Really?
- Jeff Nielson submits: The U.S. propaganda machine was positively giddy last month when the latest “existing home sales” data showed a “jump” to an annualized rate of 5.2 million units. However, with sales in previous months this year much lower, total sales are unlikely to exceed 5 million units for...

- U.S. Markets Flash Strong Warning Signals
- Jeff Nielson submits: I have always been a fundamentals-oriented investor. My reluctance to embrace “technical analysis” is based upon my extensive background in mathematics and statistics – and an awareness of all the unstated assumptions upon which almost all technical analysis is based. Two of those many...

- CalPERS Is Unsustainable
- Jeff Nielson submits: The mainstream, U.S. media continue to ignore a steadily worsening pension crisis, most likely because it is one more huge contradiction of all their “U.S. economic recovery” propaganda. Unlike the $70 trillion or so in “unfunded liabilities” which is certain to bankrupt the U.S. federal government –...

- Delinquent U.S. Mortgages Break Records Again
- Jeff Nielson submits: As one U.S. propagandist after another calls a “bottom” in the U.S. housing sector, in the real world this sector continues plummeting downward – with no possibility of a real “bottom” for many years to come. U.S. “delinquent mortgages” increased by 65% in the...

- California and New York Debt Is Riskier than Russia and Turkey
- Jeff Nielson submits: The United States can still pretend it is a “AAA” credit-risk, and cling to that farcical label for a few more months. However, prices for credit default swaps (i.e. insurance against default on debt) show that California is considered a higher risk than Russia, and New York...

- Second U.S. Bank-for-Businesses Faces Bankruptcy
- Jeff Nielson submits: The struggle for CIT bank to remain out of bankruptcy, the largest bank specializing in financing of U.S. businesses, has grabbed a lot of headlines – since its failure would leave a devastating gap in access to financing for small and medium-sized U.S. companies. Now, another of...

- U.S. Government Converts Inflation into GDP
- Jeff Nielson submits: I have been adamant there will be no “2nd half recovery” in the U.S. economy this year. The residential real estate crisis continues to worsen, as foreclosures are still accelerating, and things won't get really bad until the spike in mortgage re-sets begins next year (see “U.S....

- A Reality Check on U.S. 'Economic Recovery'
- Jeff Nielson submits: U.S. equities are rallying again today, and as usual it is a rally with no basis in reality. Most of the enthusiasm comes from another string of corporate quarterly results which “beat expectations”. I had hoped that the sheep were starting to clue-in to this silly game,...

- U.S. Government's New Housing Bubble
- Jeff Nielson submits: As readers here have heard regularly, it is absolutely certain that there will be another down-leg for the U.S. housing market, beginning no later than spring of next year. We already know the latest date, since that is when the next spike in U.S. mortgage resets kicks-in....

- Gold Bruised by U.S. Jobs Claims
- Jeff Nielson submits: I typically keep my commentaries on precious metals and the broader economy somewhat separate, so those readers who only read my work on precious metals may not be familiar with my specific views on the monthly, fraudulent jobs reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. ...

- Fantasy Housing Numbers a Prelude to the Next U.S. Crash
- Jeff Nielson submits: There are two sources for most housing data in the United States. One source is the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Given that this organization represents only people who sell U.S. residential real estate for their livelihood, this is an extremely biased entity – with an obvious...

- Central Banks Shift Reserves Away from U.S. Dollar
- Jeff Nielson submits: The problem with trying to specify why the U.S. dollar is currently having its worst collapse in two decades is that one would wear out their fingers on their keyboard before they ran out of reasons. Let's start with economic fundamentals. The U.S. is...

- The Truth About U.S. Housing Numbers
- Jeff Nielson submits: “Purchases of new homes in the U.S. climbed 11% in the month of June”, trumpeted Bloomberg. Sounds good, doesn't it? “Sales increased to a 384,000 annual pace, higher than the forecast of any economist surveyed...” Oooh! Even better. I guess this means that the U.S. housing sector...

- U.S. Real Estate Industry Whines About New Appraising Rules
- Jeff Nielson submits: When Wall Street scammed the world with its multi-trillion dollar “Ponzi-scheme” - created on the back of the U.S. housing bubble – credit rating agencies were key accomplices in this crime wave, through their triple-AAA rubber-stamps on even the worst of Wall Street. To this day, U.S....

I've done a blog post...

- Inflation Is Key for U.S. to Manufacture Positive GDP
- Jeff Nielson submits: The comedy duo of Bernanke & Geithner are still promising an “economic recovery” for the U.S. in the second half of this year, and their faithful, media talking-heads continue to parrot this nonsense. Don't get me wrong here. I'm not suggesting that we couldn't...

- U.S. State Finances Negate Talk of a Recovery
- Jeff Nielson submits: There are many ways to totally refute “Helicopter” Ben's 5th prediction of a U.S. “economic recovery.” Perhaps the most straightforward way to do so is to look at the crumbling financial picture for virtually every state in the U.S. For the first time in...

- U.S. Government Paying Homeowners to 'Walk Away'
- Jeff Nielson submits: Three months after the Obama regime came up with its plan to “rescue” the U.S. housing market, it is doing more to get people out of their homes than to keep them in them. The much-hyped “mortgage rescue” initiative has postponed foreclosure for only...

- Jeff Nielson submits: The heart of the global economy has moved East, yet the necessary economic, institutional, and political adjustments are still in their infancy. However, events this spring strongly suggest a steady acceleration in reshaping the geopolitical map. On the economic front, changes are more rapid....
