Richard DaughtyRichard 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.

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…
