Russia Suspends Free Trade with Ukraine: Kiev Imposes Embargo in Response by Stephen Lendman Ukraine’s regime is a US-installed, Nazi-infested, rogue state, run by a widely despised illegitimate oligarch president. It’s a metastasizing cancer in Europe’s heartland, a hostile force used by Washington against Russia, despised by nearly 90% of its citizens - fed up with widespread corruption, economic hard times, neoliberal harshness and war on its own citizens. Normal Ukrainian/Russian relations became impossible once fascists replaced democrats. They began deteriorating straightaway. Nothing in prospect suggests change. In mid-December, Putin signed a decree, suspending ...

PravdaMainForum... Started by Shura Poroshenko continues to shift his business offshore, says Ukrainian politician and Doctor of Law Andrew Portnov. In his investigation the expert not only found that the Roshen company is walking away from tax payment in the Ukrainian budget by means of trade operations offshore in Belize and Panama, but that Poroshenko "has also begun moving a smaller business to Belize." "Presidential money feels cozier offshore than in Ukraine," says Portnow. As an example, the expert puts forward one of the assets of the Ukrainian president, the Vinnytsa plant bakeries. If you take the analysis of the Ukrainian customs export base, it shows that ...

The big story in the commodities sector this year is oil - specifically, how its price has plummeted. Since June of 2014, the price of a barrel of oil has been roughly cut in half. The biggest reason? Surging supply from Saudi Arabia, the United States, and even Russia. Prices tried to rally several times throughout 2015, but it'll likely be years before oil returns to $90 or $100 per barrel. So today, we're looking back at our top five articles chronicling the fall of oil prices.

"The global economy is probably already in recession now. It will be more obvious in the U.S. in March or June of next year," he told ETF.com. "At that time, the Fed will say, "Well, we didn't want to increase interest rates, but there was pressure on us to do so. So we increased them, and now we have a ...
Gold's Biggest Come Back

Today, for the first time in decades, gold is once again being discussed as an international reserve asset. This is because Russia, China, Iran and other nations have been acquiring thousands of tons of gold to add to their reserves. They did this for a very important reason. And if you’d like to know how this story is going to end, you need to get your copy of The Big Drop for free right now. Besides these powerhouses collecting gold, and wanting it to be the reserve currency there are other factors in play. For example, and equally important, other central banks that already have gold, such as Germany, France, Italy and the US, have completely stopped selling. It looks like the ...

Setting Us Up for More ‘Fed-Ache’ Jon Markman | Tuesday, December 22, 2015 at 7:30 am Investors are disappointed with the central bankers. They are worried that the Federal Reserve’s forecast for four rate hikes in 2016 is too aggressive and want to see that number cut in half, given tepid inflation pressure. Until the Fed relents, or job growth data weakens significantly enough to give it pause, expect investors to stamp their feet. Every month from now on, you will see a spasm of anxiety about whether the U.S. central bank is going to lift again. It’s going to be an ongoing headache, or “Fed-ache” if you will. Central bankers in Japan are also under the ...

The fix is in and the banksters win again Posted on December 21, 2015 by Bob Livingston businessman with umbrella looks at distant storm The Fed has flooded the world with credit; and we must be fully aware that there has never been a single credit-driven asset inflation that has not been followed by market collapse, followed by a financial crisis, which always erases most of the previous gains. The public is smothered in propaganda-induced euphoria at this time, totally oblivious to the approaching storm. Tricks of banking and currency are what they were created to be, illusions of prosperity, which always leads to certain collapse and depression. As the Fed raised interest rates for ...

Just minutes ago, the Federal Reserve announced they're raising interest rates for the first time in one decade. Now everything I’ve been forecasting is set to unfold… Most popular income plays will be crushed… People will lose their jobs as the economy enters recession...

Janet Yellen’s press conference couldn’t have been more perfect for our investment thesis at my new research publication, Stockman’s Bubble Finance Trader. It confirmed that the money printers have come to a stark dead end. The fact is, the global economy is deflating rapidly and the U.S. is sliding into recession. But our Fed chairman is clueless about what’s happening. She and her posse of money printers are going to get bushwhacked by reality in the year ...

Three Central Bank Swings, 3 Misses: Bank of Japan Delivers Latest Flub Mike Larson | Friday, December 18, 2015 at 4:20 pm Three of the world’s most powerful central banks have stepped up to the plate in December. And all three have swung and missed, at least if you judge their performance by the market reaction. You know about Batter #1: European Central Bank President Mario Draghi. He offered up a heap of easy money measures on Thursday, Dec. 3. But the market tanked because it judged that he didn’t go far enough. Draghi tried to repair the damage by delivering another one of his “we’ll do whatever it takes” kind of speeches in New York the next day. That ...

The upside is ephemeral, illusory or wishful thinking; the downside is real and lasting. There's no upside left--not just in the real economy, but in jobs, politics or policy tweaks. Yes, there will be huge relief rallies in the stock market--relief that the Fed is still omnipotent, that the Fed didn't destroy the world by withdrawing liquidity, etc., etc., etc.--but in terms of sales and profits, there's no upside left: an increasingly nervous upper middle class is reining in profligate spending, while everyone below the top 10% is running out of credit cards, student loans, etc. to tap. Whatever surplus the real economy generated has been skimmed by financiers, lenders and ...

The central bank has been too cautious and the economy would already be adjusting if it raised rates six to nine months ago, giving Chair Janet Yellen “more room if a recession is on the way,” Zell said Wednesday in an interview on Bloomberg Television. Multinational companies are laying off workers, global trade is slowing and ...

If Jim Rickards has told me once, he’s told me a thousand times… “Thanks to Twitter, our society is cursed with a two-second attention span. They expect everything to happen right away. Meanwhile, big events can take days, weeks, months, even years to slowly play out.” That mind worm wriggled in our heads, until we reached today’s diagnosis: Investors have ADD. “Attention to deflation disorder.” Not one day after David Stockman’s live training event, readers displayed all the symptoms. Emails started rolling in last night... “Hallo, Mr. Stockman,” wrote one (German?) reader. “What happened today on Wall Street is the opposite of ...

So Much for ‘Santa Janet’ — Stocks, Gold, Yields Plunge Mike Larson | Thursday, December 17, 2015 at 4:30 pm Santa Janet gave the markets a big pile of loot yesterday. Today, the Grinch stole it all! After rallying 224 points on the Dow Industrials yesterday afternoon, stocks gave up the ghost into the close, finishing down 253. That clearly raises the risk the Yellen rally will prove to be just like the Draghi rally we had several days ago — a one-hit wonder followed by lower prices. But that’s only the most obvious warning sign. There are plenty of less-obvious things going on that you shouldn’t ignore. Start with China. The country’s currency ...

The media wants you to think it's big news, but no matter what the Fed does with interest rates, the three largest banks in the country are still planning to help confiscate your money. The larceny will be so large it will rival the $18 trillion of our so-called national debt. This impending theft is no secret to the powers that be. Pressure is growing on both sides of the aisle for it to happen soon. So the politicians—including some of the folks running for President—have come up with a plan... They'll use "income inequality" as their excuse... What does that mean? Make no mistake—it means they're coming to take your money, period. If you have ...

Yahoo... NEW DELHI (Reuters) - SB Energy, a three way joint venture of Japan's SoftBank Group, Bharti Enterprises and Foxconn Technology Co Ltd, has won an order to develop a solar plant in India, marking SoftBank's first foray into renewable energy there. The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set an ambitious target to raise India's solar capacity five fold to 100,000 MW by 2022. U.S.-based SunEdison already runs solar power plants in India. State-run power producer NTPC awarded the contract to SB Energy in a tender floated to develop the 350 megawatts (MW) solar power plant which will have a fixed tariff of 4.63 rupees/kWh for the next 25 years, a SoftBank ...

Yahoo... (Reuters) - A landmark deal to curb global warming dented shares of fossil fuel companies and lifted renewable energy stocks on Monday, although some price swings were muted by the non-binding nature of the pact. The deal forged at the Paris climate summit is widely seen as the most important climate agreement since the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. It commits rich and poor nations to rein in rising carbon levels and seeks to eliminate net greenhouse gas emissions from human activity this century. Renewable energy companies are expected to see big upticks in investments to develop new technologies in coming years, while coal and oil companies may see tougher regulations. "This deal ...

"If the past data had not been inflated, the current growth figures would not show such a precipitous fall," one official was quoted as saying. Officials in the region acknowledged they had overstated data ranging from fiscal revenue and household income to GDP, according to the report. Liaoning province's GDP growth ...
