There’s been so much dramatic news these days – from Greece’s miseries to Iran, China from blowhard Donald Trump – that the shocking story of how America’s National Security Agency has been spying on German and French leadership has gone almost unnoticed. Last year, it was revealed that the NSA had intercepted Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cell phone. She is supposed to be one of Washington’s most important allies and the key power in Europe. There was quiet outrage in always subservient Germany, but no serious punitive action. Brazil’s president, Dilma Rousseff, was also bugged by American intelligence. Her predecessor, Luiz … Continue reading →

Under the original Coinage Act of 1792, drafted by Alexander Hamilton, the penalty for debasing a coin was death. Under that law, President Lyndon B. Johnson was guilty of a capital offense. Fifty years ago today, Johnson signed the Coinage Act of 1965, setting into motion five decades of currency debasement that continues today.

Instead, the Treasury would mint coins made of “composites, with faces of the same alloy used in our 5-cent piece that is bonded to a core of pure copper.” Today, we call pre-1965 dimes … Continue reading →

Via Valuewalk, Don’t tell Jim Grant, the publisher of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer, that gold is a hedge. The author and publisher said the metal is much more dynamic; providing a trifecta of price, value and sentiment, and investors should have exposure to it. “[G]old is an investment in monetary and financial disorder – not a hedge.

“The Anatomy of Etiquette” From Esquire Etiquette: A Guide to Business, Sports, and Social Conduct, 1954 Here are the bare essentials of everyday etiquette in everyday social intercourse – the firm skeleton which remains after all the impractical embellishments of other days have been stripped away: Your Head Take off your hat (civilian, that is) whenever you are indoors, except in a synagogue and except in places which are akin to public streets: lobbies, corridors, street conveyances, crowded elevators of non-residential public buildings (department stores, office buildings). Apartment house elevators and halls are classed as indoors, and so are eating … Continue reading →

It’s a shame how tragedy ignites the public’s attention span. But “If it bleeds, it leads” works for a reason, so we might as well accept it. The terrible and unfortunate murder of 32-year-old Californian Kate Steinle by illegal immigrant Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez has brought the issue of “sanctuary cities” up in the news. The death of Ms. Steinle was, if anything, an unnecessary murder. She was killed by a serial felon who had been deported from the U.S. five times. The city where the brutal death occurred, San Francisco, has a long-standing “sanctuary” policy that limits how much city … Continue reading →
