Middle East Turning Net Borrowers?

Further evidence that 2015.75 is really the peak in a Massive Debt Bubble: The Middle East has always been on a cash basis as their revenues from oil exempted them from ever borrowing money – that is not the case today. As oil prices rose, spending programs also anticipated no end in sight. So as […]

Goldman Sachs to Be Sued for Hiding Greek Losses to Get in Euro?

Real Estate – the Peak is Here

I reported that we sold my mother’s house in one week. I too follow our model. The bounce in real estate into 2015.75 seems to be unfolding on time. What will make the peak is a rise in taxes.

DFT of Netherlands Poll: 60%+ of Dutch Want Out of Euro

The TRUMP Card

Why is Donald Trump #2 in the polls? This very interesting trend illustrates what our computer has been forecasting for 2016.

The London Property Market is Crashing

British Conservatives have just done the same thing, sending […]

COMMENT: Couldn’t help myself – I must share this personal story with your team and the blog readers.

Merkel’s Amnesia: What Goes Around Does Not Always Come Around

Merkel is obsessed with the German hyperinflation (which leads to demands for austerity) and assumes that her personal promise that Greece will be made to pay back any bailout, shows that she places her personal career above the variability of Europe and her own nation. Her stubbornness concerning Greece is placing the entire world at […]
