As you can see on the chart below, after peaking in December and January at 47—still a recessionary number—homebuilder confidence as measured by the index has fallen in February, March and April.

April 10, 2013 By Young Research

Today stocks hit new all-time highs on the S&P 500. Happy days, right? Not so fast. Here’s what’s scary about the stock market’s recent climb to new highs and how it could all fall apart. [expand title="Click here to read more."] Take a look at the chart below. On it you’ll see the monthly growth rates for stock prices (the S&P 500 index) and margin debt (on the NYSE).

That’s exactly what’s playing out in Stockton, California, as creditors (investors) are getting scalped while the pensions go untouched. [expand title="Click here to read more."] Pensions combine the two most destructive forces—money and politicians. Digging through the minutiae of a pension gives you a front-row seat to observe the destructive forces at work. Take Rhode Island, for example. It has … [Read more...]

Printing the Path to Prosperity

April 5, 2013 By Jeremy Jones, CFA

The Fed is engaged in an unbounded money-printing campaign at a rate of $85 billion per month, but they aren't the only money-printing bank in town. The European Central Bank has agreed to print an unlimited amount of money to buy any and all bonds from whichever euro-area country needs a bailout. The United Kingdom doesn't have a money printing campaign underway today, but it is on the verge of announcing one. And then there is the Bank of Japan, which recently doubled its inflation target and doubled the amount of money it is printing each month. [expand title="Click here to read more."] … [Read more...]
