Off The Cuff: Important EU Warning Signs, Post-QE2 Disappointment & Debt Ceiling Drama
 PREVIEW
by Adam Taggart

Off the Cuff with Mish & Chris resumes this week, with Mish recently returned from a trip to Europe.

In this week’s podcast, Chris and Mish tackle:

  • Europe: Sovereign bond rates are jumping, as rating agencies downgrade the PIIGS countries; bailout risk is growing, with Italy & Spain looking increasingly vulnerable. A successful ‘containment’ of the crisis appears less and less likely.
  • The end of QE2: Why those expecting a second-half economic pickup are likely to be sorely disappointed. Precious metals will react dramatically if QE3 is announced.
  • Debt ceiling dramatics: A deal is likely, but the odds of a government shutdown are higher than are being admitted.

Introducing ‘Off The Cuff with Mish & Chris’
 PREVIEW
by Adam Taggart

Today we’re introducing something new that we think you’ll enjoy.

From time to time, in between the long hours Chris spends compiling his in-depth reports or preparing for interviews, I’m able to coax him to put down the keyboard. These fun, fascinating moments are one of the best perks of my job: I get to chew the fat with Chris about interesting developments of the day and hear his unfiltered, work-in-progress thinking.

I feel kind of guilty about my good fortune here. I know there are many of you who would dearly love this opportunity to sit down informally, one-on-one with Doc M and just watch his brain run. So, we’re going to try to give our enrolled members the best substitute for this experience we can – actually, a bit better.

Better because we’re recruiting someone of Chris’ intellectual horsepower for him to spar with. My ego might be bruised if it weren’t another of my personal heroes: Mike “Mish” Shedlock, proprietor of the very popular and extremely well-regarded econoblog, Mish’s Global Economic Trend Analysis.

Straight Talk with Mike Shedlock (aka “Mish”)
by Adam Taggart

Today marks the launch of our new and (hopefully) regularly recurring "Straight Talk" series, featuring thinking from notable minds the PeakProsperity.com audience has indicated it wants to learn more about. Readers submit the questions they want addressed and our guests take their best crack at answering. Our hopes are high you'll enjoy the expert insights and alternative perspectives this new series brings. 

Our inaugural Straight Talk contributor is Mike Shedlock, author of Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis, one of the most visited and respected economic blogs on the Web. Mish is an outspoken deflationist and outlines his rationale for being so in his answers to our questions. He is also a registered investment advisor representative for SitkaPacific Capital Management. 

1. You’ve gone from mainframe computer programming analyst (in 2005) to being one of the most widely-read econobloggers in the world today. To what extent do you attribute your competitive advantage to holding a non-traditional background vs. the more ‘classically’ trained analysts and commentators?

Mish: It certainly helps not having a background in economics as taught by academia today. Nearly everyone in academia is a Keynesian or Monetarist.

 "It's About Control": An Interview with David Icke
Just got my result that I’m C19 positive.
I work at a mining camp in northern BC where I shared a bathroom with a guy (double injected) that was coughing for days and then tested positive. They got me to do a rapid test which was negative but I was feeling OK at that time.
Got home and started feeling...
