by davefairtex Buck Smashed, Metals Rally, and Bad News is Good News by davefairtex There were two reports this week, plus the series I usually monitor: Consumer Price Index (CPIAUCSL): +0.18% m/m (prior +0.12% m/m); mildly inflationary.

by Chris Martenson An October Prediction by Chris Martenson I believe that “reality” sets in by October 2023 (this year). By this, I mean that the Fed’s liquidity-draining operations finally crush the stock market, which will then confirm for people what they are already experiencing, times are tough (for the majority of people, especially those on fixed incomes). Soon thereafter, oil prices are going […] I believe that “reality” sets in by October 2023 (this year).

by Chris Martenson The Biggest Warning Sign of Imminent Economic Hardship by Chris Martenson What’s the biggest sign that economic trouble is on the way? That’s easy – the disappearance of low-cost energy. In part I (public) we cover the German experience with their self-inflicted wounds of depriving themselves of reliable, low-cost energy. It’s predictably bad. Well, predictably for those who have a good pair of energy goggles firmly […] What’s the biggest sign that economic trouble is on the way?

by Chris Martenson What If a Collapse Doesn’t Happen? by Chris Martenson It’s time to ask ourselves the hard questions in the interest of keeping ourselves aligned with the truth. I have a process of reading all sides, and working hard to see things from multiple angles, principally so I don’t become ideologically wedded to any particular point of view. When the data changes, I change my […] It’s time to ask ourselves the hard questions in the interest of keeping ourselves aligned with the truth.

by Chris Martenson #TBT – Facing The (Horrible) Future by Chris Martenson Today, we’re revisiting an article I originally penned back in 2018 titled, “Facing the (Horrible) Future.” I still recall my somber mood as I unpacked the serious predicaments our future seemed to hold, particularly in relation to resource depletion and environmental degradation. The truth is, we’re now living in the start of that future, here […] Today, we’re revisiting an article I originally penned back in 2018 titled, “Facing the (Horrible) Future.” I still recall my somber mood as I unpacked the serious predicaments our future seemed to hold, particularly in relation to resource depletion and environmental degradation.

by Chris Martenson Cucumbers of Wrath! by Chris Martenson This installment begins with a tour through defining, if not insane, current events, but it ends with as much positivity as I’ve had of late. The winds of change are finally upon us. Good people are in the majority, they haven’t realized that, but increasingly they are figuring this out. And we are sick and […] This installment begins with a tour through defining, if not insane, current events, but it ends with as much positivity as I’ve had of late.

by Chris Martenson To See The Future, Put On Your Energy Goggles by Chris Martenson I love framing things. This helps me see the world more clearly, and have a shot at accurately “predicting” the future. I put predicting in quotes, because it’s not really predicting, but rather seeing the direction of things and extrapolating from there. I think this is what George Orwell, et al., did. They simply understood […] I love framing things. This helps me see the world more clearly, and have a shot at accurately “predicting” the future.
