How much of your investment portfolio is in gold? Five percent? Ten percent? One contrarian investor believes that the yellow metal should control one-quarter of your portfolio. Speaking at a recent conference in Chicago, Marc Faber, the editor of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, encouraged investment professionals to have 25 percent of their portfolio in gold. Faber defended this strategy by averring that bullion shields you from “a dangerous combination” of global government debt and bond-buying initiatives from central banks all over the world. He noted that investing in gold prevents you from being a victim of the central … Continue reading →

This summer, we have all witnessed the heavy hand of government intervening in the freedom of speech, as the behavior of the Secret Service at both the Republican convention in Cleveland and the Democratic convention in Philadelphia was troubling and unconstitutional. Though the First Amendment was originally written only to restrain Congress (“Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech”), it is now uniformly interpreted to restrict all government in America from abridging the freedom of speech. The reason this freedom is referred to as “the” freedom of speech is to reflect the belief of the Framers … Continue reading →

As elderly people get older they tend toward feeble-mindedness. Not in every case, of course, but as a general rule applicable to any given cohort. I am acutely aware of this tendency whenever I express an opinion or explain a conclusion: I may simply be losing my grip. Moreover, older people tend to become stuck in their ways. So they may often fail to see how the world is changing, not to mention why it is changing as it is. With the foregoing declarations as my preface, you may wish to disregard what I now have to say, which is—if … Continue reading →

I recently sat down with Casey Research founder Doug Casey to discuss this. Doug is a former classmate of Bill Clinton and has met him several times, including once at the White House. Nick Giambruno: There is a popular conception that only the “best and brightest” go into government. I think this is a sacred cow that needs to be slaughtered. What’s your take, Doug? Doug Casey: It’s a real problem when a pernicious myth subverts reality. Everybody believes that the institution of government is like Camelot—a wise ruler assisted by noble paladins. Maybe that meme gained traction in recent … Continue reading →

The Turkish government’s strong suspicion that Washington sympathized with or covertly backed the recent failed military coup — even if completely unfounded — may seriously damage the Western alliance. After all, the preamble to the 1949 North Atlantic Treaty emphasizes the determination of the signing countries “to safeguard the freedom, common heritage and civilization of their peoples, founded on the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law.” Emphasizing the high political stakes for the alliance, India’s former Ambassador to Turkey M. K. Bhadrakumar recently declared that the “Turkish allegation has no precedent in NATO’s 67-year old history … Continue reading →

Mises University is this week, and the annual event has me thinking (and talking about) how vitally important it is for each person to be responsible for their own health.  Of course, it doesn’t help that I’m currently reading Crony Capitalism in America 2008-2012 by Hunter Lewis. The book explains how so much of the economy in America is manipulated and controlled by politicians and special interest groups. There is a full chapter devoted to the American medical system. Politics and economic principles aside, I firmly believe that people are better served when they are in complete control the “four W’s” of their … Continue reading →

During the Cold War, the Cuban government becomes communist and aligns with the Soviet Union, and many of that country’s productive citizens flee to the United States where property rights are more secure and the government is more constrained. Cuba’s economy predictably fails and is kept afloat for years by foreign aid provided mostly by the Soviets. Meanwhile, Cuban businesses first take root, then flourish in the US, particularly in Miami, including a cigar industry based in Little Havana. Ironically, many of these cigar manufacturers succeed due to government intervention in the form of the Cuban trade embargo, enforced by … Continue reading →
