An alternative currency – already in circulation across America – could soon explode in value. As you’re about to discover, it could hand you as much as $56,700 over the next 9-12 months. Some people are already calling it the “next Bitcoin.” And that’s saying a lot. As you may know, Bitcoin is the digital “cryptocurrency” that has disrupted economies worldwide. It has also made some investors a fortune along the way. Over the course of just three years, Bitcoin’s value skyrocketed more than 1,632,316%. You could have bought $10,000 worth of Bitcoin… and exchanged it for $163.2 million (in U.S. dollars) just 36 months later! The value ...

Sputnik... In a highly globalized world countries buy and sell abroad, but when it comes to national assets, does it work the same way or are there strings attached? Sweden, Britain, Italy and recently France have become China’s targets in Europe, with France selling a 308 million euro stake in the firm that manages Toulouse airport to a Chinese group. 00:00 / 00:00 Vladimir Rojankovsky, head of research at Nord Capital and Mark Thornton, a Senior Fellow at Ludwig von Mises Institute debate China’s purchasing power.

"If you want to understand why we are in the midst of a massive paradigm shift from an age of top-down, centralized institutions to a world of distributed and collaborative power, I would highly recommend reading Jeremy Rifkin's new book. He clearly joins the dots on how the likes of 3D printing, crowdfunding, and online education platforms are all connected and describes the disruptions that lie just around the corner for most sectors." - Rachel Botsman, author of What's Mine is Yours: How Collaborative Consumption Is Changing The Way We Live"Jeremy Rifkin understands that it's people and communities who are at the heart of the new economic paradigm.

Specifically, 18 percent of the 1,001 respondents don't believe they will ever get out of debt – double the percentage who said that less than two years ago, in May 2013. While mortgage delinquencies have declined recently, credit card debt is going back up and student loan debt has been on the rise in recent years, CNBC reported.

The Russian Central Bank has increased borrowing costs to 10.5 percent to avoid a further rout of the ruble. The currency has lost more than 40 percent this year, and annual inflation is slated to reach 10 percent. Rising inflation spurred the aggressive rate hike. The bank sees inflation hitting 10 percent for 2014. As of December 8, inflation stood at 9.4 percent, according to the Central Bank. “Consumer prices continued to accelerate in November and the beginning of December. The increase in inflation and the expectation of devaluation creates a significant risk for inflation,” the bank said in a statement, released Thursday. The regulator increased the rate by 100 basis ...

He believes oil will settle between $45 and $80 a barrel in the next year. “Companies are harnessing amazing new technology to destroy the traditional energy value chain,” Perkins said. “There’s a ...

Yale's Shiller: Investors Worried That Stocks Are Overvalued Wednesday, 10 Dec 2014 06:00 AM By Dan Weil Investors, especially institutional investors, believe the stock market is overpriced, according to a survey from Nobel laureate economist Robert Shiller of Yale University. The survey results are the worst since about 2000, he told CNBC. "Over the recent years, the decline in confidence in the valuation of the market has been striking." The S&P 500 index carried a trailing price-earnings ratio of 19.54 Friday, up from 17.80 a year ago, according to Birinyi Associates. Shiller noted that his cyclically adjusted price-earnings ratio is now 27, with is about the ...

This Time Is The Same: Like The Housing Bubble, The Fed Is Ignoring The Shale Bubble In Plain Sight

We are now far advanced into the third central bank generated bubble of the last two decades, but our monetary politburo has taken no notice whatsoever of its self- evident leading wave. Namely, the massive malinvestments and debt mania in the shale patch.Call them monetary bourbons. It is no exaggeration to say that inhabitants of the Eccles Building deserve every single word of Talleyrand’s famous epithet: “They learned nothing and forgot nothing.”To wit, during the last cycle they claimed to be fostering the Great Moderation and permanent full employment prosperity. It didn’t work. When the housing and credit bubble blew-up, it washed out all the phony gains from ...

20-year head of the U.S. Fed, just smeared egg on the government's face... and divulged his personal secret to safeguard our savings. Dear Fellow Citizen, I still can't get over this BOMBSHELL from Alan Greenspan. From Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush, this man ran our monetary system. He worked tirelessly to earn the world's trust in the U.S. Dollar. NO ONE should have more faith in our currency. But with these 23 words, Greenspan has revealed his true "faith" in the Dollar: "Gold is a good place to put money these days given its value as a currency outside of the policies conducted by governments." If you're like most Americans I talk to, you see ...

Napoleon's admirers will be able to carry his DNA on their wrists after a Swiss company announced Tuesday its plans to sell watches containing a fragment of the emperor's hair. Half-millimetre slices of his locks will be placed inside a limited series of some 500 watches that are to bear the likeness of Napoleon, said Viviane de Witt, CEO of De Witt watchmakers, told AFP. They will sell for the price of around 8,000 euros ($10,000). The first surgery-like operation to slice up the hair happened Tuesday in the presence of a bailiff at the De Witt factory in Geneva. "Napoleon was already quite idolized while he was alive, when he got his hair cut people picked it up and kept ...

The Oil-Drenched Black Swan

Given the presumed 17% expansion of the global economy since 2009, the tiny increases in production could not possibly flood the world in oil unless demand has cratered. The term Black Swan shows up in all sorts of discussions, but what does it actually mean? Though the term has roots stretching back to the 16th century, today it refers to author Nassim Taleb’s meaning as defined in his books, Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets and The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable: “First, it is an outlier, as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations, because nothing in the past can convincingly point to its possibility. ...

5 Things You Need To Know- Goodbye OPEC?
Post Date: 2014-12-06 11:35:46 by BTP Holdings

"Paradigm shift" is a term that sits uneasily in our mouth. It's far too affected for our simple tastes here at The 5 -- and we do have standards to live down to. But we do require a serviceable substitute. So we resort to the lower-brow but far more agreeable "game changer." And how can we describe what OPEC did last week as anything less than a game changer? When OPEC sharks -- sorry, ministers -- meet to address what most of them perceive as the dire problem of low oil prices -- yet decide to essentially lower prices even further -- what other term should we employ? (No, no, not "paradigm shift.") Call it what you may, dear reader, but it is NOT ...

PressTV... Fresh data show that global oil and gas exploration projects worth more than USD 150 billion are likely to be put on hold next year as oil prices continue to fall further. According to figures recently released by Norway-based oil and gas consultancy Rystad Energy, the outlook for onshore and offshore oil exploration and development projects - from the Barents Sea to the Gulf of Mexico - is in doubt and looks uncertain. Multinational oil and gas corporations say some projects in the North Sea, Arctic and Gulf of Mexico fields are either suspended or put on hold. As some of big oil fields discovered decades ago begin to deplete, oil companies are trying to access hard-to-reach ...

EU lashes itself as Russia shuts down South Stream

Pravda... On December 1, Russian President Vladimir Putin paid a one-day visit to Turkey. After a three-hour meeting with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Putin stated that the South Stream project, which was supposed to deliver Russian natural gas - up to 63 billion cubic meters - to South and Central Europe bypassing Ukraine, would be stopped. Putin stressed out that the move had to be made against the backdrop of EU's opposition, as the project could not be implemented without Bulgaria's permission. Western publications split in their estimations of Russia's latest decision. The New York Times wrote that the decision to shut down the project was Putin's ...

Big Banks Conspire with Gov't to Confiscate Accounts Written by Damon Geller Think your money is safe in the bank? Think again. A new bombshell from the New York Times exposes that the nation's biggest banks have willingly turned bank accounts over to the government for total confiscation. It's all done in secrecy, often initiated by the bankers. Tragically, bank account holders don't even know they're being targeted until after the money is seized from their accounts. The banks' deplorable actions have resulted in millions of dollars stolen from U.S. citizens without a shred of due process. And in 80% of the cases, no criminal charges were ever filed. Even more ...

Steve Forbes: 'OPEC Doesn't Have a Hat, Much Less a Rabbit' to Pull Out of It Monday, 01 Dec 2014 02:28 PM By Dan Weil Steve Forbes, chairman of Forbes Media, is none too impressed with OPEC, which was unable to agree at its meeting last week to take any steps to halt oil's slide. "OPEC's impact on prices is grossly exaggerated," he writes in an article for Forbes. "Speculators believed OPEC would magically pull a rabbit out of the hat. But OPEC doesn't even have a hat, much less a rabbit." The cartel barely accounts for more than one-third of global oil output, Forbes explains. Oil production has exploded to at least a 31-year high in the ...
