After 15 years of “each day worse than the next” market manipulation – much of which, is done overtly – the thing that amazes me most is how few people care. Sure, hundreds of millions of Americans – and billions of foreigners – have...

It’s Monday morning, and the “new era” of indefinitely depressed oil prices has officially arrived. To wit, on Saturday, the International Atomic Energy Agency validated Iran’s compliance with the U.S.-led “nuclear deal,” enabling Iran to...
