BofA’s Moynihan: There’s No Magic Bullet for US Economy Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan sees nothing flashy in the comeback of the American economy — just a slow and steady slog that will continue.

Should we be worried about that? As the S&P 500 Index moves toward an all-time high and volatility sits at multiyear lows, investors should remember we’ve been here twice before, with the index just below 1,600 both in 2000 and 2007 only for it to take a dive soon after.

Once upon a time the United States had the largest and most vibrant middle class in the history of the world. The rest of the globe looked at us in envy and wondered what we were doing right. But now everything seems to be going wrong for the middle class. Millions of our jobs have been shipped out of the [...] From Zero Hedge: The following chart from Bank of America shows that with a few short hours ahead of the dangling strawman known as Bernanke’s Jackson Hole address (now that Mario Draghi has more pressing issues to deal with elsewhere), expectations for QE3, in the form of what is actually priced in, just hit an all-time high. So is, by implication, the potential for disappointment and that the petulant market, no longer [...] Corn prices continue to rise. At $8.30 per bushel, it is near an all-time high.

As the $400bn Operation Twist program is still boosting demand for long-dated US Treasuries, we [...] by Dr. Housing Buuble With the Federal Reserve promising to bailout the entire world it is hard to grab any headlines away from that kind of action. In spite of putting the American taxpayer at risk for global debt issues especially when we have big enough problems at home we have now reached an all-time high with foreclosure inventories. That is correct, the shadow inventory is still enormous and the number of homes owned by [...] kingworldnews.com With gold trading at $1,800 and silver above $35, today King World News interviewed John Embry, Chief Investment Strategist of the $10 billion strong Sprott Asset Management to get his take on where he sees gold, silver, the US dollar and the mining shares headed.

If I would have asked [...] by JOHN RUBINO on JULY 11, 2011 Once upon a time, gold and stocks were thought to be inversely correlated. That is, when the market went up, gold would go down, and when the market was down, gold would go up as investors abandoned risky assets for the safety of sound money.
