We have written previously about investors having a “risk-off” year as various markets have to deal with inflation, the central bank’s response to inflation, overvaluation, overindebtedness, supply chain issues, and now, the Russian invasion of Ukraine. So far this year, it indeed has turned out to be a “risk-off” event as we predicted. It has […]

The GOP committee members wrote to three groups Thursday — the League of Conservation Voters, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the […]

President Joe Biden says that inflation is being caused by Putin. Despite the fact that inflation has been heating up for some time, well before the attack on Ukraine, the President repeatedly blames others for his mistakes. This lame remark made to Democrat lawmakers was welcome, of course, because it distracts as well from the […]
Exactly one hundred years ago, in March 1922, the Soviet “goods” ruble was in its final stages of collapse after years of debasement and economic mismanagement. Facing hyperinflation and the commensurate inability to calculate economically, the beleaguered People’s Commissariat of Finance deserted it in favor of a new parallel currency: the gold ruble. A century […]

President Joe Biden has insisted that rising gas prices are not a result of his administration’s policies. This week, he announced the United States would ban oil imports from Russia because of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of neighboring Ukraine. Biden also has suggested that U.S. oil companies are responsible in part for the higher prices […]

Biden didn’t have to take a blowtorch to the financial system in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But he has done so. The comprehensive sanctions the United States and the West have imposed on Russia take us into an entirely new world. The sanctions are multidimensional but most important is the “freezing” of […]
