Peter Schiff The Pound Gets Pounded As the global currency war intensifies, the majority of attention has been paid to the 17% fall of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar over the past few months. The implosion has given cover to the sad performance of another once mighty currency: the British pound sterling. But in many ways the travails of the pound is far more instructive to those pondering [...] From Mark J.

They also said, for the first time, that the pledge to hold short rates at near zero was “conditional.” This [...] She was the glamorous icon who went on to become the First Lady of Camelot. But in 1949 Jackie Kennedy was just a foreign exchange student slumming it in Paris who was forced to get by on rations just like everybody else. John F Kennedy’s wife-to-be stayed in a modest home with a French family where the boiler broke down so often she had to wrap herself in a shawl to stay [...] Larry D.

Digressing from the high levels of uncertainty accompanied by strange periods of low volatility to a [...] AMONG those with most to celebrate as the Chinese Communis t Party marks its 90th birthday on July 1st are the country’s bourgeois reactionaries. Perhaps now the most important pillar of the party’s support, China’s middle class was virtually non-existent until it was recreated in the late 1990s. So far, the communists have amply fulfilled their side of a tacit bargain in which well-off city-dwellers have [...] by Gonzalo Lira The Coming Middle-Class Anarchy True story: A retired couple I know, Brian and Ilsa, own a home in the Southwest. It’s a pretty house, right on the manicured golf course of their gated community (they’re crazy about golf).
