Long time readers know that I am a huge fan of the work of Neil Howe. His book, The Fourth Turning , was one of the seminal pieces of my reading over the last 30 years. And it has turned out to be stunningly prophetic. Uncomfortably so. A roughly 80 year cycle has been repeating itself for centuries...

A dose of sanity returned to the markets this week, starting with cracks beginning to show in the U.S. dollar. Consequently gold, the not-so-barbaric relic, seems to be attracting an awful lot of attention. Instead of falling, as so many pundits have been predicting it should, it has begun to string...

Dear Reader, We’re going to be flying low and fast in this weekly scan of the landscape in the quest for items that are “important,” as opposed to “merely interesting.” At the top of the list of what we would consider important is the increasing likelihood that the wheels are about to come off the global...

January 30, 2009 Dear Reader, Like most people, I occasionally find myself overwhelmed by the tasks involved with everyday life. This week, I have been, to use the old adage, "working like a dog." Though, now that I think about it, I have a hard time imagining the origin of the term. Even in...

January 23, 2009 Dear Readers, Like a runaway train, the crisis is heading at breakneck speed down the hill and towards the next sharp turn. Though we are reasonably sure about the ultimate destination – an inflationary wreck – we can’t be entirely sure what exactly awaits around the...

This week I have a special Outside the Box for you. My long-time friend Doug Casey wrote a very prescient piece back in 1997. He has updated it somewhat for today's times. The critical part is a summary of the work of Richard Strauss and (friend) John Howe and their book The Fourth Turning , which...

Dear Readers, We're no longer in Kansas, Dorothy. At this point, the world's financial markets are in the firm grasp of a massive tornado. Our vision is blurred with fast-moving images of abandoned houses, crumbling banks, pontificating politicians, alien-looking Treasury secretaries on one knee...

September 12, 2008 Dear Readers, In today’s “special” edition of the Room, I want to go somewhat beyond the latest news and observations on same. Instead, I want to discuss the big picture as it relates to the U.S. and global economy. I do so because it is growing more important with each passing day...
