Setting Stage For Next Crisis: World Debt At $153 Trillion
Be it the Great Depression of 1929 or the financial crisis of 2008-09, excess leverage has played the most important role in inducing the crisis. Several economists argue that lack of action in 1929 translated into depression, but the decade preceding the great depression was characterized by significant leveraging in the economic and financial system. […]
“Buy It All” Uber-Dovish Yellen Sends Stocks, Bonds, Gold, Oil Surging
Well that escalated quickly. Yellen’s uber-dovish (coin-flip whether we hike or QE) speech has sparked panic-buying in everything… and USDollar dumping… as rate-hike odds collapse…

My “Wisdom” On Smart Beta & Factor Investing
The latest installment from Tadas Viskantas’s series on “financial blogger wisdom” (is that an oxymoron?) asked a bunch of smart people (and also me) about smart beta.

Why We Have A Wage Inequality Problem
Wage inequality is a topic in elections around the world. What can be done to provide more income for those without jobs, and those with low wages? Wage inequality is really a sign of a deeper problem; basically it reflects an economic system that is not growing rapidly enough to satisfy everyone. In a finite […]
The Power Of A Money Reset
This is a true story from a new client that describes almost everyone reading this today. “John, I just got back to even this year on my retirement account after being down for about 8 years.” Does this sound familiar? I asked this client if he had ever heard about a reset and he said “no”. If […]
Etsy Or Regretsy?
In the early days of Etsy a site sprang up called Regretsy that made me (and many others) laugh to the point of tears. Their tagline was “where DIY meets WTF” and it was simple but brilliant. They would find tragically bad works on Etsy and share them with a brief comment. At first, Etsy […]
Cramer Nails It Again
TM editors’ note: This article discusses a penny stock and/or microcap. Such stocks are easily manipulated; do your own careful due diligence.
