In this week's Off the Cuff podcast, Chris and I discuss:
- Market Mania
- Our "no worries" financial markets
- Nonsensical Logic
- From Japan's monetary strategy to Obama's inaugural speech
- The Managed Rise in the Price of Precious Metals
- Intentional, yet unsustainable, manipulation
- The Really, Really Big Picture
- Peak "cheap" oil, "net" energy crisis, and flow rates
In the wake of the President's inauguration and today's short-term debt ceiling agreement, Chris and I discuss the wide and growing gap between what we, as a society, say are our priorities vs what we actually make our priorities.
Take global warming and costly energy. Two big worries our country has; one immediate, one looming to threaten future generations. The President mentioned an urgent need to address both in his inauguration speech on Monday.
