- 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...

- Colonial Bank Failure Highlights the Problem
- Jeff Nielson submits: The bankruptcy of Colonial Bank CNB was the largest bank-bankruptcy in the U.S. since several large, U.S. financial institutions collapsed last year – with the most recent being Washington Mutual, last fall.

- 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...

- Silver Is the Future of Jewelry
- Jeff Nielson submits: In several previous commentaries, I have alluded to the extremely bright future for silver jewelry as yet one more reason to be extremely bullish about silver.

- 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.

- Judge Rejects Bank of America / SEC Settlement
- Jeff Nielson submits: In the relationship between U.S bankster-oligarchs and their corrupt regulators, the banksters have been able to count on the regulators to protect them from liability rather than punishing them for their misdeeds. Indeed, even when one of Wall Street's lies or scams draws so much public attention...

- 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.

- 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,...

- 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...

- Is China Replacing India as the World's Premier Gold Consumer?
- Jeff Nielson submits: For several decades, Indian gold demand has dominated the global gold market, to the point where its own consumption-cycle became the “seasonal” indicator for gold. As Indian “wedding season” began in the fall, gold typically experienced a surge in the price. Then, in the spring, as wedding...

- 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....

- 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.
