Nico Isaac — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:15:00 ET

General Motors has just issued its first public income statement since emerging from the ashes of bankruptcy four months ago. The results for the "New GM"? Well, mixed... All of which is to say, "Old GM" -- the former icon of American manufacturing -- is no more.

Jason Farkas — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:30:00 ET

In Part II of this article, EWI's Jason Farkas explains further why hyperinflation in the U.S. is likely not something we should worry about over the next few years -- and what signs to look for when it does become a real threat.

Hyperinflation Worries Laid to Rest, Part I

Jason Farkas — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:30:00 ET

The situation in the U.S. situation is different from bouts with hyperinflation in Argentina, Mexico and Brazil. It also seems reasonable to examine hyperinflation in another nation -- Zimbabwe -- in order to answer a few important questions...

If The US Economy Is Out Of The Woods, Then I'm The Queen Of England

Nico Isaac — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:15:00 ET

Almost everywhere I look in the mainstream financial media, I see story after story celebrating the end of the worst U.S. recession since the 1930's AND start of an all-out recovery to a brighter, smarter-for-the-pain bull market. "The grimmest days are now behind us," begins a November 5 BBC report. "All that talk of a return to the thirties now seems fanciful."

Minnow), allow me to break the news to you: According to the mainstream financial experts, the U.S. banking sector has officially been rescued from worst credit crisis since the Great Depression. If this sounds familiar, there's good reason...

Treasuries, US Dollar Not Dead Yet

Jason Farkas — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 01:45:00 ET

An increasingly loud chorus of investors expects the imminent demise of the US dollar and US Treasuries. They also expect that an exploding monetary base and the US’s structural problems will lead to massive inflation. This opinion may prove to be correct in the very long run, but evidence continues to mount that deflationary will come first.

What Will Deja Vu Look Like In Six Months? Read This

Robert Folsom — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 01:30:00 ET

The new chapters allow Bob to spell out his unique arguments for deflation, and a lot more. He proves that every market offers a story, if you know where to look and how to tell it -- that is Bob's exceptional gift. No financial story could be more compelling than the stock market's manic climb to the 2007 peak, and the second includes an entire chapter to tell it. If you think you remember this period, wait till you read his description...

Believe It Or Not, In Defense of the Dollar

Bill Fox, Senior Bonds Analyst — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 03:30:00 ET

The word on the street is, the U.S. dollar is rapidly depreciating, so investment in the U.S. Treasuries defies common sense. You would think that would prompt foreign governments such as China and Saudi Arabia to stop investing in U.S. securities? But instead of selling their depreciating dollar-denominated assets, they are buying more. Here's why, says EWI's Bill Fox…

Vadim Pokhlebkin — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 05:00:00 ET

On October 6, the Reserve Bank of Australia surprised the global financial community with a .25% interest rate hike. Only 1 in 20 surveyed economists expected it. But if conventional economists would simply plot central banks’ decisions on a chart of bond yields, they would make a "shocking" discovery that could save them a lot of surprises...

Inflation? Disinflation? In Your Dreams

Bill Fox, Senior Bonds Analyst — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 06:15:00 ET

On October 1, the U.S Treasuries zoomed upward as the DJIA saw its first material decline in six months. In percentage terms, the Dow's decline was insignificant -- yet bonds had one of their best single-day rallies since the summer low. Why is this important? Here's why...
