January 12, 2011 by · Leave a Comment 

By James West, MidasLetter.com 2011 is just underway, and already, confusion reigns. My mother fell on her head at Machu Picchu and some kid in Arizona killed some decent folks in Arizona.

December 27, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

By James West, MidasLetter.com The investment world has become obsessed with phenomena that cause catastrophic loss – so much so that a new language has evolved, subjugating old words to new meanings. Melt-downs, for example. Collapse. Bubbles. Bubble, in fact, is now the word that classifies any asset class believed to be overpriced as a [...]

December 15, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

By James West, MidasLetter.com The Obama administration’s inability to obtain an improved tax revenue for federal coffers is the latest farce in the comic American tragedy unfolding before our very eyes. This government appears incapable of understanding that printing increasing amounts of currency while realizing deteriorating tax revenues and generally lethargic economic conditions is the [...]

WikiLeaks, Gold and Silver

November 30, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

By James West, MidasLetter.com November 30, 2010 I’ve always occupied the emotional frequencies ranging between disgusted and outraged when it comes to WikiLeaks. Regardless of your stance on governments and sovereign interference, putting the lives of human beings at risk by exposing their participation in intelligence programs is aiding and abetting in murder. The psychotic fundamentalists [...]

Rebirth of the Gold Standard

November 9, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

By James West, MidasLetter.com I guess its not such a dumb idea after all. When I suggested in an editorial last year that a gold standard should be adopted, I was summarily dismissed in the most condescending fashion by economists and journalists alike who proclaimed that I didn’t understand economics or currencies or monetary history.

By James West, MidasLetter.com Now that gold is muscling its way towards $2,000 an ounce, the forces of ignorance embodied by post-secondary-accredited yet nonetheless clueless commentators are being given voice by government sponsored media outlets such as CNN. Tokyo Rose was the generic handle accorded to any of a dozen women who, during World War [...]
