nftrh.com and
biiwii.com successfully owned and operated a progressive medical component manufacturing company for 21 years, keeping the company’s fundamentals in alignment with global economic realities through various economic cycles. The natural progression from this experience is an understanding of and appreciation for global macro-economics as it relates to individual markets and sectors. Biiwii.com was created solely as a way to help get the message out about deeply rooted problems with too much debt and leverage within the financial system. Our concerns were confirmed and our message proven justified 3 to 4 years later as the system began to purge these distortions, resulting in a climactic washout extending from October, 2008 to March, 2009. Yet ironically enough the URL ‘biiwii.com’ came from the old saying ‘but it is what it is’ and indeed this sentiment addressed the need to remain impartial (bullish or bearish as the situation dictates) despite personal beliefs. Over the long-term, the world changes and any successful market participant must be ready to accept changes or revisions to a given plan. Along the way, a geek-like interest in technical analysis, a long-time interest in human psychology and various unique macro market ratio indicators were added to the mix, with the result being a financial market newsletter (and dynamic interim updates),
Notes From the Rabbit Hole (NFTRH) that combines these attributes to provide a service that is engaged and successful in all market environments by employing risk management first, and opportunity for speculation second.

Yellen: Deeper Down The Rabbit Hole We Go
But the economy is so stable and the stock market is near all-time highs! <-- sarcasm.
An Inflationary Message From Gold-Commodities Ratios
Well Gary, it's all relative and I don't think any of it is positive beyond those trading it. Indeed, the regime of systematic inflation has been highly destructive to the point where real deflation is not an option. Imagine a system that is geared to jack prices instead of put money back in savers' and non-asset owners pockets.

Which is exhibit A about why this kind of policy not only doesn't work, it's ultimately destructive.
Sell The RMB And Southeast Asian Markets
Very interesting. I had held AAXJ based on a bullish pattern, before selling recently as I thought it was extended. It'll be interesting to see if this a short-term reaction or something more lasting. Going strictly by the chart, it's got a higher target.
Why The Greater Recession Will Be Dollar Bearish
IMO one function of the entire post-2008 period was to erase certain realities from the average investor's mind. Like for example, that compounding and unpayable debt does not matter. It never matters until it suddenly... matters. The bond market is key and it could begin to rebel.
Drilling Hartless Joe Complete
While exploration is by definition very risky, the rewards can be great. The prospect generator model is lower risk than an explorer w/ one or two projects. Also, SMD is cashed up. I'd be careful of post-article price run ups, but it appears to be a solid pick in a risky space.
Why China Will Dominate Next Generation Manufacturing
I very much enjoyed this article. A little story; in my former life I owned a small American manufacturing company (medical device components). For years I heard the Wall Street and media promotions that we (in America) did not make anything anymore. I'm like... 'what, I don't exist?'
It was all promo and now it appears the article cited by the author is swinging too far the other way. Good old mainstream media, always catching on a decade or so too late. I agree with the author of this post that the negativity on China's manufacturing is over done and simply the media trend following.
Dear Fed, Please STFU
Could not have said this better myself.
A Zombie Financial System, Black Swans And A Gold Share Correction

3 Strong Buy Putnam Mutual Funds To Add To Your Portfolio
Personally, I will never forget our friends at Putnam for a) getting caught up in a front running scandal and b) cutting my wife's IRA in half early last decade. But I actually need to thank them as well because I took over our own fund management and never looked back.
