Why the Dam is Finally Breaking on the US Dollar

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Maybe Iran wants a bomb. Maybe not.

But blocking it out of the SWIFT system, in other words cutting it off from using the US dollar for its oil trades (among other things) because we suspect it does, simply meant that countries that still want to trade with Iran and which are not beholden to our political whim, have found ways of doing business without a dollar in sight.

With India and China's strong demand for gold, it’s the perfect time to look deeper into how markets work ...

Many people are patriotically upset about the US dollar’s descent. However, it has been a direct result of the debt we’ve voluntarily assumed for all types of things including cheap goods and wars. In recent years, we’ve now decided to make matters worse by bailing out banks and propping up the housing market.  In years to come, the aging boomers will add another layer for healthcare and social security.

3 Potential Mega Trades In Q4

Posted on by The INO.com Team

It seems to me that we are at an inflection point in the economy. The government has blown pretty much all of its money and the economic recovery and the economy is still sputtering along.  No surprise there.

So what's going to happen? I believe that we'll have another economic downturn which is going to push the dollar to new lows, push gold to new highs, and push the equity markets back down to their March lows.
