Richard Daughty a.k.a. Mogambo Guru is general partner and COO for Smith Consultant Group and the writer of The Mogambo Guru economic newsletter, an exercise to better heap disrespect on those who desperately deserve it. The Mogambo Guru is quoted frequently in Barron's, The Daily Reckoning and other fine publications.
Why Russia Is Right to Consider a Golden Currency
The Mogambo Guru says the Russian media is on the right track in proposing the reintroduction of gold-backed currency. Bank in the US, the Fed and US Treasury are wasting hundreds of billions of dollars trying to ‘fix’ the financial crisis. This will cause the dollar to lose value over time. And if exporting economies like Russia start to dump the dollar for another currency or gold, the buck will be doomed…
Government Bailout Is for its Own Spending Needs
The Mogambo Guru says the real motive for Hank Paulson’s bailout bill was that the government needs the money for its lavish spending requirements. And what the government needs, the Fed will print. Of course, this will eventually bring down the dollar, and send gold soaring…

New Total Fed Credit Down By $5.5bn
New Total Fed Credit (”the magical fount from whence spews new credit, which becomes new money and a new debt when somebody borrows this new credit”) is down, surprisingly, down by $5.5 billion this week. This is theoretically bad news, says The Mogambo Guru.
Funding Your Retirement on Poor Pizza Profits
Ten years ago, the average investor invested a whole 6-slice pizza, and now, ten years later, they have as little as one slice of a pizza to show for their efforts? And somebody still thinks that they can fund a retirement on that kind of performance?
Topsy Turvy Government Policy
