My main message here in Part 2 is to show you why, from my vantage point of following the economy and financial markets daily, things are serious right now.
I trust actions over words; and the Fed’s actions are consistent with a big problem happening somewhere deep in the shadow banking system.
Further, all of the global macro data I track closely is screaming that a slowdown is here.
On top of that, investor confidence in the Fed’s ability to push market prices ever higher is dangerously overextended.
Stock gains have zoomed way ahead of the Fed’s recent excess liquidity, as this chart shows… (Enroll now to continue reading)

Likely a symptom of growing social unease, we’re seeing a surge in interest amongst our readership in relocation.
Many are folks living in urban and suburban areas worried that local resources and/or rule of law will not hold up well during a serious economic crisis, civil disorder or natural disaster.
Others have watched Peak Prosperity readers successfully transition to more resilient destinations or even build their own self-sufficient homesteads.
Specifically, we’re seeing a hunger for guidance on the key factors to assess when asking:
- How resilient is my current location?
- Should I relocate?
- If so, where to? And what criteria should I prioritize in making my decision?
Should You Relocate To A More Resilient Area?

While at the New Orleans Investment Conference this past weekend, Chris and I had the great pleasure of sitting down with Grant Williams, publisher of the economic blog Things That Make You Go Hmmm and principal of Real Vision TV.
There will be no smooth transition back to sustained economic growth, he warns
Instead, the distortion of today’s excessive asset prices will require a systemic reset to fix. Either by a deflationary event that destroys the malinvestment, or by an inflationary event that destroys the currency.

Executive Summary
- The debt bomb waiting to explode is truly staggering in size
- Key warning signals we’re approaching a late cycle market crash
- The Fed’s aggressive actions belie its fear that the system is extremely sick
- How to use the time left to be on the right side of the coming wealth transfer

The Fed is now flat-out lying to us.
Jerome Powell insists that the Fed is not printing more money, is not engaging in QE, and is not directly intervening to make stocks go higher in price. But none of this is true.
In addition, the Fed has reversed course and is steadily cutting rates. This even as the employment and wage data (if you believe them) have been strong of late.
So what gives? What could be causing this?
Hundreds of billions of dollars, printed and injected at a faster pace than in the depths of the Great Financial Crisis is not exactly a comforting sign.
I am quite certain that something very big is very broken in the background.
Deutsche Bank might be failing. That’s a distinct possibility here. Or it could be massive funding flow reversals from… (Enroll now to continue reading)
