Seriously? Swissie a Safe Haven During a Banking Crisis?
We are reposting an oldie but goldie piece, given the market jitters over Credit-Suisse. We are baffled by the conventional wisdom that a bank run or crisis is deflationary. Yes, in the early 1930s, when the Fed and other central … Continue reading

Pressure continues to build, just as we said it would after the U.S. midterm “bitch slap” of the Trump administration, for a second referendum on BREXIT, which will likely lose. Polls now show British public opinion in favor of remaining in … Continue reading
