During the unprecedented run up in housing prices over the last decade, most economists and real estate professionals firmly declared that the market would always move higher.

I receive a lot of hate mail from loyal Barrick shareholders accusing me of "plunging my little dagger into Barrick's back out of spite".

On the first Friday of every month, observers of the USEconomy, armchair critics of official policy, cheerleaders to the American dream, spin doctors on Wall Street, and an army of investors wait with baited breath for the mass of horse pucky, meadow muffins, a

I am working feverishly on a piece about "The Crime of '73," but it isn't finished yet. That's 1873, not 1973. So We must continue examining the frightening symptoms we now see, and what they can result in, probably in the not too distant future.
