Saving real money

Up until the late 1960s, it was considered prudent for everyone to have some savings.

Why gold is money

It is clear that Western capital markets no longer generally regard gold as money.

Manufacturing prowess based on sound money

Fear Index February 2013: actions matter more than words

Despite recent headlines and a great deal of squawking over hints that the latest FOMC minutes heralded a slight (maybe) signal of more hawkish intentions from the Federal Reserve, January saw US M3 rising to almost $15.1 trillion.
