Year-Over-Year Core CPI Jumps Most Since 2008
Economists expected a 0.2% rise in the CPI but not a new high in the year-over-year core CPI.

Weekend Reading: Why We Don’t Talk Anymore
I have been doing a daily radio talk show for 18-years. I started out, totally by accident, doing a financial talk show on a business radio station in early 2000 as the “dot.com” crash was underway. It was the genesis of what would eventually become Real Investment Advice.com Then, in 2007, I got picked up by a larger radio […]

Roasted Turkey
What I know about Turkish politics could probably fill about two sentences (which, I suspect, puts me in the 95th percentile of Americans), but apparently it’s even worse there than here. Allow me to show you how their lira is doing: So that exciting trip you’ve been thinking of taking to Istanbul – go for it! It’ll be dirt […]
TRY As It Might, Turkey Can’t Stop Its Currency From Melting Down
The economic situation in Turkey has been a powder keg for months, and it’s finally found a spark. While investors have never truly trusted Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, he’s shredded his last vestiges of credibility in recent months by appointing his son-in-law as the country’s finance minister and espousing his belief that lower interest rates were needed to fight inflation, […]
