Please check out Crescat’s latest macroeconomic research letter. We discuss the implications of record high global debt levels, China’s unsustainable fixed asset investment binge, the European debt crisis, declinging real household income in the U.S., understated CPI, gargantuan off balance sheet derivatives. Central banks have been behind an upward spiraling series of bubbles, busts, and bailouts. The biggest busts and bailouts are likely still ahead of us, possibly the end game for fiat money itself. Long and short opportunities abound. Hard money, scarce resources, and equities of competitive and innovative companies offer ways to protect and grow capital amidst central bank money printing and debt devaluation. Cash and government bonds are not the safe havens they appear – neither is China the export driven growth juggernaut it appears.
