Carl Icahn Expects Major Stocks Correction in Next 3 to 5 Years Tuesday, 18 Nov 2014 08:15 AM Carl Icahn isn't forecasting a dramatic stock market drop quite yet but the billionaire investor is still bracing for a market sell-off in the next three to five years, he told Reuters. "I am still concerned that one day you'll see a break like you had a few weeks ago," Icahn said at the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit in New York, "but it won't come back." With the Standard & Poor's 500 index now up more than 10 percent for the year and trading at 2,041, many investors have put October's short-lived slide behind them, saying low interest ...

Congressional Study Shows Obama’s Economy Sucks (surprise?) | From the news story “Duh!” file: the Senate commissions a study about the current state of the economy. The report says that paycheck size, the job market, economic growth have been pathetic, small business is hurting, but Wall Street is doing great. (Hat tip to this story for the information source.) Really?!? This didn’t take a genius to figure out, but maybe we’re expecting too much from a Democratically-controlled legislative body. After all, they’ve repeatedly shown on other issues that facts are less important to them than ideological positions. Or maybe they know on which side their ...

It’s a once-per-generation moneymaking opportunity. And we’re not just talking about a little chunk of change, here. This opportunity is minting millionaires. In the next few minutes, I’d like to show you how to tap in to the same lucrative opportunity. With quick-strike, profit-gushing plays that could triple your money. And ...

Georgia developer still trying to build coal plant

Yahoo... SANDERSVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Deep in rural Georgia, a developer is betting he can build one of the last new coal-fired power plants in the United States as the rest of the country moves away from the fuel. The project, which is being developed by Allied Energy Services, is an outlier. If constructed, Plant Washington would be one of just two planned coal plants in the United States to dodge pending rules from President Barack Obama's administration severely restricting carbon dioxide emissions. Carbon dioxide is the chief greenhouse gas blamed for global warming. Still, analysts question whether the estimated $2 billion project, which will be built near Sandersville, ...

It appears the rumors are true. Islamic State is set to become the only ‘state’ to back its currency with gold (silver and copper) as it unveils the new coins that will be used in an attempt to solidify its makeshift caliphate.

Beware the Money Illusion

Beware the Money Illusion By Jim Rickards A money illusion sounds like something a prestidigitator performs by pulling $100 bills from a hat shown to be empty moments before. In fact, money illusion is a longstanding concept in economics that has enormous significance for you if you're a saver, investor or entrepreneur. Money illusion is a trick, but it is not one performed on stage. It is a ruse performed by central banks that can distort the economy and destroy your wealth. The money illusion is a tendency of individuals to confuse real and nominal prices. It boils down to the fact that people ignore inflation when deciding if they are better off. Examples are everywhere. ...

Challenging inequality, the Uber way

0 Comments
/Yahoo News) There's a lot of talk in Washington these days about economic inequality, but not much by way of constructive ideas for how to reduce it. The loudest voices call for steeply higher taxes on wealth, which would certainly feel like justice — except that even if you just transferred all those taxes directly to the poor, you might not actually do much to make middle-income Americans more secure. Others talk about reforming an educational system that was once the ladder for economic mobility, which probably gets us closer to an enduring solution, but that's politically divisive and will be a generations-long project, in any event. Now from the West Coast comes an ...
The Most Important Question about Gold and Silver Price Suppression, Answered!

I was going to write on a different topic today, but I had someone ask me a question, prompted by an exchange he’d read from a certain guru, Mr. Martin Armstrong. The exchange was about whether or not gold and silver were being actively suppressed by banks and governments. Armstrong continues to come against the argument of long-term suppression, but this shield brother’s question is so crucial, that once I read it, I knew I had to write on this topic immediately. It is becoming more and more important every day, for everyone possible to understand why the manipulation is prosecuted and ongoing, even more than who is doing it or how. The question basically goes like this, and ...

A rapidly evolving currency has Wall Street standing on its ear. Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Canada, Morgan Stanley, BlackRock, Credit Suisse, and Bank of America are quietly amassing positions.

The man who predicted nearly every major economic trend over the past 30 years...including the 1991 recession, Japan's lost decade, the 2001 tech crash, the bull market and housing boom of the last decade and, most recently, the credit and housing bubble... Now predicts the DOW is going to crash. In fact, world-renowned economist Harry Dent says, "We'll see an historic drop to 6,000... and when the dust settles – it'll plummet to 3,300. Along the way, we'll see another real estate collapse, gold will sink to $750 an ounce and unemployment will skyrocket... It's going to get ugly." Considering his near-perfect track record of predicting economic events ...

Do not buy gold right now. Just don't do it! The Midas metal has turned to fool's gold. It's sunk in the black night of a deep bear market-- and it's about to plunge even deeper. Over the next several weeks, the price of gold could threaten lows not seen since 2009, when it hovered around the $1,000 mark. And if you're thinking gold is a dirt-cheap bargain right now, think again... Word to the wise: don't bet on gold. If you already have, get out now. Look, I'm going to let you in on a little secret here: Gold is a commodity that trades in cycles, just like any other asset. And the evidence tells me it's heading down right now. If there's one thing I ...
