The Biggest Financial Deception of the Decade

Jan 7th, 2010 | By Andrew Snyder | Category: Notes From the Investment Underground

Baltimore — I admit that I probably spend more time discussing the realm of politics than I should in a contrarian investing newsletter. But in my defense, politics play a larger role in our personal wealth now than they ever have before.

But while I so stubbornly poke holes in the political machine in Washington, I must avoid being hypocritical. If I shame our legislators for disregarding the democratic keystone principals of checks and balances, I must be careful to avoid the same pitfalls.



I am a man of my word

Baltimore — (TFN): I stuck to my word and bought gold. If you follow the markets long enough, you earn a full grasp of the psychology behind it all. After a while, you notice the tiny quivers and false starts that signify a move in either direction.

I used this insight and logic to warn investors about an imminent downturn in gold prices earlier this month. I got a lot of “feedback” from disappointed gold bugs. But it didn’t take long for them to eat their words as the price of an ounce of gold fell by nearly 10% in the last month.



Bold move to save on taxes

Baltimore — (TFN): I spent most of my weekend in the attic of my century-old house. I wasn’t hiding from a hormonal, pregnant wife. She’s been fairly tame lately. And it wasn’t to escape a surprise in-law attack.



Stimulus 2.0: Give a penny, take a penny

Baltimore – (TFN): Get ready for Stimulus Version 2.0. With unemployment in double-digit territory, credit still tight and consumers refusing to part with their cash, it’s obvious Washington’s first bailout did nothing but put the nation even further in debt and give China an even larger stake of the country’s financial future.



My first prediction for 2010

Dec 3rd, 2009 | By Andrew Snyder | Category: Notes From the Investment Underground

Baltimore — (TFN): Do you think Rupert Murdoch and his multi-billion-dollar buggy whip factory is getting nervous? Unless the prince of print media single-handedly transforms an industry, his empire will come crashing down.

This story goes well beyond Murdoch’s decision to start charging for his company’s online news content.



Trump solves all our woes

Dec 1st, 2009 | By Andrew Snyder | Category: Notes From the Investment Underground

Baltimore — (TFN): Another drop in the dollar and another big day for the equities markets. And yes, gold is on the rise as well, precariously perched at the psychologically pertinent $1,200 an ounce mark.

Enough alliteration. Let’s talk business.



Warning! Warning! This is not good news

Nov 25th, 2009 | By Andrew Snyder | Category: Notes From the Investment Underground

Baltimore — (TFN): Did you feel it? Just a couple of hours ago, you went into debt for another $106. You never signed any paperwork or agreed to it – a handful of unelected officials took care of that for you – but you’re now on the hook for at least another Franklin.

Earlier today, the Treasury auctioned off yet another chunk of American debt. This time it offered seven-year bonds to the tune of $32 billion. In all, the nation will go in hock for yet another $118 billion this week.
