World Bank attorney Karen Hudes says she is one of a group of global whistleblowers.  Hudes contends, “We’re running out of time. It’s time to tell these thugs and crooks that they’re fired.”  Hudes goes on to say, “We don’t have to wait for anybody to fire the Fed or Bank for International Settlements . . . some states have already started to recognize silver and gold, the precious metals, as currency . . . there are other alternatives like Bitcoin . . . We, the consumer, can choose which currency to use, and that’s what we’re going to do in very short order.”  (more…)

Famed investor Jim Rogers says, “This is the first time in recorded history all the banks are printing money at the same time. . . .   This is the first time we’ve had massive debasement, and it’s going to end very badly no matter what they say.”  Rogers, who has written books on global investing, says, “Whether they keep printing or stop printing money globally, it is going to end badly.”  If money printing stops, Rogers contends, “Banks are not going to be lending.  Financial markets are going to go down.  Currency markets are going to be in great turmoil.  It’s not going to be any fun.”  (more…)

Trader/analyst Rick Ackerman is feeling a little less nervous about the negative effects of Obama Care.  Ackerman contends, “I think, at this point, we’re blessed with a package that is such a bloated abomination that it’s going to collapse under its own weight.  It seems pretty obvious the program simply won’t fly.”  (more…)

Yale Professor Robert Shiller says, “People who were thinking about buying a house last year are kicking themselves.  Prices are up 12% in a year.  As the market tightens, the attractiveness diminishes, but it’s still attractive.”  Professor Shiller, who is one of the founders of the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices, sees two big possible headwinds for housing.  (more…)
