US$ Print til’ You Die
You would never believe it today, but there was a time when The New York Times' editorial board supported sound money. And the person writing sound money editorials against a proposed Bretton Woods agreement was Henry Hazlitt. Today the first name that comes to my mind when thinking about The New York Times and monetary policy is the “print til’ you die" economist Paul Krugman. Contrary to the Keynesian crowd, Hazlitt believed it was irresponsible to make the dollar a reserve currency, as good as “gold”, knowing full well there would never be enough gold to satiate government spending … [Read more...]

RIP Richard Russell
The publisher of Dow Theory Letters has passed away at the age of 91. Richard Russell worked right to the bitter end. Even in his final days, realizing that he was at the end of the line, Russell continued to offer great wisdom in his writing. I was a subscriber to Russell, virtually from his start in the late 1950s. Richard was put on the map with a great series of essays on Dow Theory in Barron’s. In the early 1960s as a student at Babson College, I studied Dow Theory religiously. Over the decades, no one did a better job of bringing the tenets of Dow Theory to the individual investor … [Read more...]

Reagan on the Gold Standard
In the October issue of Intelligence Report, Dick Young wrote: Richard Russell is now 91 years old. In a recent Dow Theory Letters, Russell wrote, "I spend most of my time in bed, which gives me plenty of time to think," an activity that, over the decades, few in the investment industry have done in greater depth than has RR. Russell has been writing Dow Theory Letters since 1958. For decades, Russell, Ben Graham, J. Anthony Boeckh, and Harry D. Schultz have been primary sources of investing wisdom for me. Russell recently wrote about 12-term Congressman Ron Paul, who tells the story of once … [Read more...]
