Get Ready For An Economic Wake-Up Call This Holiday Season

Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com,

If we are to measure the concept of “economic recovery” in real terms, then we would have to look at the fundamentals (not stock markets) and whether or not they’re improving. Unfortunately, not all economic data is presented to the public honestly. Very often it is mired and obscured in a fog of disinformation and false standards.

I would point out, though, that there is relatively accurate information out there in certain areas of the global economy, and it tells us our economic structure is destabilizing. Beyond that, even the rigged numbers are moving into negative territory. But what does all this mean for the holiday retail season, one of the mainstream’s favorite gauges of US financial health? And, if 2019’s holiday profits sink, what does this tell us is going to happen in 2020?

Doug Casey: Gold Stocks Could “Go Wild”…

Via Casey Research

Chris: Doug, as you know, gold’s had a big year, up 15%. Do you see this trend continuing? And if so, what’s a specific catalyst that could send the gold price – and gold stocks – higher?

Doug: Oddly, even as gold has moved from $1,100 to $1,500, these crappy little junior mining stocks, the explorers and developers, have gone nowhere… But the big ones have done okay.

“We Are All George Zimmerman Now…”

Authored by George Zimmerman via AmericanThinker.com,

Most people know my name, George Zimmerman, largely due to negative stereotypes propagated by the media as a result of the 2012 incident in Sanford, Florida, in which Trayvon Martin died.

Unfortunately, most people don’t recall the fact that I was exonerated of any wrongdoing after a thorough investigation by the Sanford Police Department in March 2012. They had interviewed dozens of witnesses, analyzed 911 calls, and examined the physical evidence of my broken nose, the lacerations on the back of my head, as well as the bruised knuckles of my assailant.

This was all backed up by eyewitness Johnathan Good who told police that he saw me screaming for help while blows were coming down on me “MMA style.”

“Pelosi’s Mask Just Slipped”

Authored by Tom Luongo via Gold, Goats, ‘n Guns blog,

Nancy Pelosi is a bitch. And in saying that I’m actually being sexist against female dogs, since every one of them I’ve ever met is a higher quality individual than Pelosi.

So, my apologies to dogs everywhere.

On Friday, we reported on the latest bizarre milestone in the “art” world, when a banana duct-taped to a wall sold for $120,000 at that excess-liquidity conclave of ultra rich and other wannabe poseurs known Art Basel Miami Beach. Worse, a second banana duct-taped to a wall also sold for $120,000. Yet even worse than that, a third banana duct-taped to a wall is expected to sell for $150,000 and so on.

The Fed Could Be Setting Us Up for Explosive Price Inflation

From Birch Gold Group

us inflation

Until recently, Federal Reserve Chair Powell has maintained that the Fed will operate using a “symmetric 2% inflation target.”

Simply put, that means the Fed sees 2% inflation as a level that sustains economic growth without putting too much upward pressure on prices.

But it looks as though that whole idea may be set aside, at least for now, with the potential for inflation to start rising, and quickly.

Social Media Goes Wild After Ryan Reynolds Pounces On “Peloton Wife”

Via ZeroHedge

After the internet was triggered by a Peloton ad featuring a yuppie buying a $2,500 exercise bike for his already-thin girl, not known on Twitter as “Peloton wife,” actor Ryan Reynolds came up with a brilliant idea;

He hired Peloton Wife – since identified as actress Monica Ruiz, and made a commercial for his Aviation Gin brand.

Seen by over 6 million people since its Friday release, the ad features Ruiz sitting at a bar, flanked by two supportive friends. Clearly shaken from her Peloton experience, she looks at her drink and says “This gin is really smooth,” before downing the entire drink.
