China, The Hollow Dragon
In terms of profitability and trade-generated wealth, China is a hollow dragon. It is widely assumed that manufacturing (a.k.a. the world’s workshop) is the source of China’s wealth. But how can this be true, given that manufacturing profit margins are razor-thin in China, and have been since the early 2000s? Given that as little as $10 of […]

Did You Know That The U.S. No Longer Has Any Strategic Grain Reserves At All?
Once upon a time, it was popular to say that the U.S. government only had enough wheat stored up to provide everyone in America with half a loaf of bread. But that is not true anymore.

BigTrends Weekly Market Outlook
Stocks may have made a gain last week, but it was a hard-fought victory, and may have exposed just how vulnerable the market is right now. And, this week’s trading will start out where last week’s left off… within easy reach of some critical support levels, and in the shadow of still-waning momentum. We’ll discuss […]
