No one believed my boss seven years ago when he said the world’s largest mortgage bankers, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, would soon go bankrupt… And no one believed him when he said General Motors would fall apart… Or that the same would happen to General Growth Properties (America’s largest mall owners). But that’s exactly what happened. And today… Porter Stansberry, founder of a Baltimore-based financial research firm, says the next big bankruptcy in America will be even BIGGER than those he’s identified in the past. In fact, he says this looming bankruptcy will threaten your way of life, whether you own any investments or not. I strongly encourage ...

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 ...

The New Anti-Cash Laws Sweeping the U.S. U.S. Government Waging “War on Cash”… Cash Soon to Be Outlawed? At Least 1 Nation Moving in that Direction… What You Can Do to Prepare… The U.S. government views cash – paper currency and coins – as an enemy. How else to explain their ongoing “War on Cash”? Recently, FBI agents raided a convenience store and took $107,702 right from the owner’s bank account. His alleged “crime”? Making two cash deposits of $11,400 in 24 hours. This isn’t an isolated case. The FBI has already extensively used civil asset forfeiture laws to seize cash from Americans. Why the Government Hates ...
Oil giants cut back back on spending

Yahoo... New York (AFP) - US oil giants Chevron and ExxonMobil signaled Friday further belt-tightening ahead as the industry responds to lower oil prices that slammed earnings in the second quarter. Chevron said it was trimming 1,500 jobs as it cuts 2015 capital spending about $5 billion compared with last year. Further capital spending cuts are likely in 2016 and 2017, executives said. "We're getting our cost structure down, through renegotiations across the supply chain and by sizing our contractor and employee workforce to reflect lower activity levels going forward," said Chevron chief executive John Watson. ExxonMobil expects a "downward vector" on capital ...
Hey — Where’s My Stinking Raise?

Hey — Where’s My Stinking Raise? Mike Larson | Friday, July 31, 2015 at 4:20 pm That’s what American workers are asking these days – and they’re not getting any good answers. I say that because the latest figures show wages and salaries are stagnating like never before. The Labor Department reported this morning that worker pay rose a pathetic 0.2% in the second quarter. Not only was that down from a 0.7% rise in the prior quarter … and far below the 0.6% estimate … but it was also the worst in recorded U.S. history. The department began tracking in 1982. If you exclude government employees, the news is even worse. Private wages were essentially ...

Bermuda always used to be one of the top destinations for US companies shifting their headquarters abroad for tax purposes. However, these days, Dublin has become the modern destination of choice for US corporate expatriates. Ireland has an attractive corporate tax rate of just 12.5 percent, as well as a highly skilled English-speaking workforce. By comparison, France has a corporate tax rate of 33.3 percent while the UK 's stands at 21 percent. As a result, a whole host of tech companies, pharmaceutical giants and management consultancies have shifted their headquarters from the US to the Emerald Isle, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. This chart shows top locations for US ...

In Just 3 Months: The Currency That May Replace the USD Global Reset “Imminent” Warns Acclaimed Author… It Could Happen as Soon as This October… The New Financial System Will Be Built on This… The U.S. government is on the verge of bankruptcy. They have run up a debt that cannot be repaid, and now must create new dollars to meet their obligations. In other words, they’re trying to fix the debt problem by inflating the currency. Of course, anybody with some common sense knows this won’t work. Renowned financial analyst and author of The Big Reset, Willem Middelkoop, says: “A system reset is imminent. There are only two options: a ...

"This is what I'm doing to protect my family and my finances - I recommend you do the same." Dear Fellow American, Do you believe America's financial problems from 2008 have been fixed? Do you think we'll have another banking crisis in the next few years, or a problem with our currency? If you are concerned about these possibilities, you are not alone. After all: What we are witnessing in America today is unprecedented. Our government has embarked on a gross, out-of-control experiment, expanding the money supply 400% in just six years, and more than doubling our national debt since 2006. It took our nation 216 years to rack up the first $8.5 trillion in debt... ...

Bill Gross: Global Financial Markets Are a 'Shell Game' By FJ McGuire | Thursday, 30 Jul 2015 11:00 AM Bond king Bill Gross warned that U.S. financial markets may be headed for a nasty plunge because they have become “a shell game” because of such government tinkering as quantitative easing. He points to the recent crash of the Chinese stock market as to what American investors can anticipate. "This shell game has been taking place for a long time," the manager of the Janus Global Unconstrained Bond Fund told CNBC. "We see the same thing, basically, in all central banks in terms of their interest rates, in terms of quantitative easing from the ...

Yale's Stephen Roach: US Still in 'Balance Sheet Recession' By FJ McGuire | Thursday, 30 Jul 2015 08:00 AM Yale University economist Stephen Roach said the United States has been lingering in a “balance sheet recession” as shoppers remain unwilling to really spend money and enable the economy to fully recover from the last financial crisis. "We've been in a balance sheet recession, and we're still in it. That's the bottom line," Roach told CNBC. "The big story in this recovery that's holding us back is the 1.5 percent consumption growth we've been on for seven years plus." In a balance sheet recession, consumer spending is ...

Want... On July 10 Nicky Hilton, a member of the US Hilton hotel dynasty, wed James Rothschild, a member of the English branch of the renowned European banking family, in what has been billed as "the wedding of the century" in both the UK and the US, according to the website of Guangzhou-based newspaper Time Weekly. The Rothschilds were said to be the wealthiest and most mysterious banking families in Europe during the 19th Century. German poet Heinrich Heine once said of the family, "Money is the god of our times, and Rothschild is his prophet." The Rothschilds are well known in China, as they featured in Song Hongbing's anti-Semitic nationalistic bestseller ...

Gold’s Down. What’s up With That? By Jim Rickards Gold is trading around $1,100 per ounce, a five-year low, down over 40% from its all-time high in August 2011, and down over 8% this year alone. According to Bloomberg, hedge funds are net short gold for the first time since records have been kept starting in 2006. Sentiment is abysmal. To paraphrase the brilliant Jim Grant, gold, it seems, has never been more unloved. All of this is well-known to investors. The question is why, and what does a temporary collapse in the dollar price of gold presage? The search for answers takes us on a journey through the inner workings of this most important and least understood market. ...

Jim Rogers has predicted almost every major market move in the past 30 years. Now, in an exclusive online briefing for investors, he is warning that U.S. markets are “overdue for a major correction.” But he quickly adds that this will be like no other correction in history. “It’s going to be a doozy,” he says. In fact, Rogers, the billionaire investor who co-founded the Quantum Fund with George Soros, says the coming market catastrophe will be like “nothing we have ever seen in recorded history.” If you are concerned about the market, China’s massive stock market collapse, Greece’s default, the massive monetary expansion by almost all central ...

Chicago Public Worker Pension Reform Plan Found Illegal Friday, 24 Jul 2015 03:54 PM A plan to ease Chicago’s $20 billion public-worker pension deficit is illegal, an Illinois judge ruled, leaving the city vulnerable to another credit downgrade. Immediately after the ruling, Standard & Poor’s said it would probably lower the city’s rating again if a solution isn’t found. S&P already cut Chicago’s rating earlier this month to BBB+, or three levels above junk. The Illinois Constitution bars the diminishing of public pensions, state court judge Rita Novak ruled Friday. The Illinois Supreme Court in May killed similar changes to the state’s pension ...

WSJ's Lahart: China's Economic Weakness Crimps US Company Earnings By Dan Weil | Friday, 24 Jul 2015 06:04 AM Many economists don't believe the 7-percent economic growth figure that China produced for the second quarter, arguing that Chinese officials fudged the numbers to exactly match their target for the year. U.S. companies that sell in China have good reason to agree with those economists. These corporations are suffering from the Asian titan's economic weakness, notes Wall Street Journal columnist Justin Lahart. This week IBM reported that its China sales plunged 25 percent in the second quarter, Whirlpool announced a 3 percent fall and Illinois Tool Works ...

Yardeni: Next Recession 2019 By Dan Weil | Monday, 27 Jul 2015 09:19 AM Some economists expect a recession to begin soon. They say we're due because historically recessions have occurred every five to 10 years, and our last one ended in 2009. But ace economist Edward Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, says the next recession may not come until March 2019. That's based on the movement of the Index of Coincident Economic Indicators (CEI) over the past five business cycles, he explains in a commentary provided to Newsmax Finance. "It has taken 68 months — from January 2008 through October 2013 — for the CEI to fully recover from its severe decline during 2008 ...

Just this summer, in the space of a few days, $3 trillion in stock equity was wiped off the Chinese stock market.

PressTV... Saudi Arabia’s SABIC says it plans investment in US shale gas projects to source feedstock for its plants in the UK. According to CEO Yousef al-Benyan, SABIC has signed an agreement with Houston-based Enterprise Products Partners L.P. to use shale gas as feedstock in the US or other countries. The Saudi company has converted its cracker units in Britain to produce olefins and their derivatives. “The main areas in the US we are looking to invest in are the northeast and the south as they fit our overall expectations including government support, labor laws and unions,” Bloomberg quoted al-Benyan as saying. The official said SABIC was not planning yet to acquire ...

Ozy... Sure, oil prices have collapsed. That smells like a buying opportunity. Trading in oil can be pretty boring most of the time — at least until it’s suddenly, terrifyingly not. You’ll be surfing the crest of a growing global economy one day, then whammo! Fanatics fly jetliners into the World Trade Center, or tanks roll across the Kuwaiti border. Over the past 35 years, Andrew Hecht, an experienced commodity trader and author, has seen it all. And if he knows one thing, it’s that there’s a ton of money to be made if you bet right on the viscous black stuff. Indeed, there’s a reason they call it black gold. Just when it would seem crazy to bet on oil ...
