By: Doug Eberhardt Category: Gold Tags: buy gold, EURO, GDP, government debt as a % of gdp, Government Spending, japanese economy, YEN

As bad as things are here in the U.S., despite a current rising stock market, Japan has some serious issues to deal with as their economy spirals down the path of self destruction, bringing down with it the YEN.

Is now the time to buy gold priced in YEN?

Is Gerald Celente Right About the "Crash of 2010?"

By: Doug Eberhardt Category: Gold Tags: buy gold, China, Crash of 2010, Economy, GDP, Gerald Celente, slave labor, U.S. Manufacturing

My point in critiquing Celente is on the timing of his “crash” prediction, not on whether or not there will be a crash. He will probably take credit for predicting the crash no matter when it occurs, but the reality of it happening in 2010 is a mystery to me, barring any external influences (like WWIII).

I also take issue with his simplistic concept of bringing production (manufacturing) back home” and his “slave labor” comment which I’ll address first.

Trade Gold In EUROS Instead of Dollars? Switching May Make Sense Soon

By: Doug Eberhardt Category: Gold Tags: EURO, GDP, Gold, U.S. Dollar

But now that everyone is talking about the dollar weakness again, as well as gold breaking to new highs, Geithner is stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place. If he takes the strong dollar stance, it could kill the stock market rally, especially if the Fed increased interest rates. If he lets the dollar fall too much, there could be a rush for the exit with Japan and China leading the way. There is a reason why Obama chose this time to take his trip to China. The U.S. needs to maintain the U.S. Dollar’s world reserve currency status. It cannot afford to become a second rate nation. Something has to be done.

The Odds of Recession Is Over Version 2.0 Occurring Are as Likely as People Realizing Michael Moore is a Capitalist

When I hear Mark Haines call a market top or one of the other CNBC cheerleaders admit we’re in a secular bear market, I’ll change my mind about them. I won’t hold my breath…. But ask yourself one question… What are the world’s wealthy doing right now?

Bernanke and the Fed Have Saved Us: Recession is Very Likely Over – Don’t Believe It!

By: Doug Eberhardt Category: Gold Tags: Federal Reserve, GDP, Government Spending, Recession

So as far as GDP goes, Government Spending is all that is running the show right now. The question that investors need to ask themselves is, “How long can this last?” Of course the key to everything is the purchasing power of those things we get paid in called dollars.

U.S. Debt Clock Reveals Time Isn’t On Our Side

By: Doug Eberhardt Category: Gold Tags: debt, Economics, GDP

The U.S. is the Debt Engine to the World

Take a look at the map of the world below. It shows in the purple color the countries in the deepest debt as a percentage of GDP. Interesting how most of the other countries in the world can manage their finances better than the U.S. can. Could it be because these countries are actually producing something?

From Green Shoots to Drought? Making Economic Sense of Investing

By: Doug Eberhardt Category: Gold, Stocks, U.S. Dollar Tags: Add new tag, debt, Economics, Economy, GDP, Investing, Stocks

But calling the exact top isn’t what’s important. Keeping and growing your wealth is. To do this, you must make sense of the economic data that are causing the green shoots and decipher for yourself whether they will blossom from here or wither and die from a potential drought.
