Sometimes you just need to take a break to gain perspective.
You could say that was what I did last week, but to be honest, it wasn’t a real “vacation”.You see, I had to do something that most of America is having a hard time
doing. I went to the closing for my father’s new home in Puerto Rico. (It took a 20 percent down payment to secure the damn thing. But, when a house costs $60,000, it’s not too difficult coming up with 20 percent.) |

The US has earned itself a depression through a deadly combination of greed and fraud. If you ever wondered why gold bugs rail against fiat abuses…. wonder no more. What you are now witnessing and living is the inevitable result of a compromised monetary system. |

If anyone doubted whether politics had a role in investing, this week should have cured it. Congress is on the verge of a rescue plan, the markets go up. The plan fails, the Dow makes a historic drop. |

The CBOE Volatility Index hit a new high. Both Rick Pendergraft and I have been watching to see where the index would go. We were looking for 37.50, but neither of us expected the spike we saw on Monday when the bailout vote went down to failure in the House of Representatives. |

On Tuesday, Congress stopped for Rosh Hashanah. It’s not a bad idea to take a spiritual break once in a while. It’s the spiritual rather than the practical that has bogged down. |

After Congress failed to pass a $700 billion rescue package on Monday, the market nosedived 777 points. It’s suffering a case of the “Bailout Blues” and it shows you a lot about expectations. |

You have been robbed blind. I have repeatedly warned that a power grab has been in the works during the present financial chaos. More authority is now being given to the specific entities that caused our present financial and economic problems. Beware. |

Sometimes I come up with stuff so revolutionary and outside the box, that most people wonder whether I’m actually full of it.
And I don’t blame them. A healthy dose of skepticism is never a bad thing.
One of our readers, Mike, recently asked… |

I have expressed my desire to keep my political beliefs out of the pages of IDE many times in the past. However, I received an email last week that I simply must address. Jerry C. sent the following response to my article from September 22: |

The financial sector continues to bleed out.
Last Friday WaMu finally fell into government hands and their deposits and branches were simultaneously taken over by JP Morgan. Fortress – once a flourishing investment company – just decided that it better keep the $100 million it was going to give its shareholders as a dividend. They get nothing this quarter. And GE suspended its current stock buyback. |

BRIC (Brazil-Russia-India-China) countries make a funny group.
It’s not easy talking about them as a group. You have a badly managed commodity exporting country (Russia) ... a well-managed farm product-exporting country whose cagy leader is losing his reforming zeal (Brazil) ... a high-tech economy very dependent on business from the U.S. (India) ... and a fast-expanding country where inefficiency still abounds (China). |

“A top aide to GOP Rep. John Boehner said it was Democrats who had done the political posturing. The aide, Kevin Smith, said Republicans revolted because they were chafing at what they saw as an attempt by Democrats to jam through an agreement on the bailout early Thursday and deny Mr. McCain an opportunity to participate in the agreement.” – AP
