Doug Casey: Conspiracies, Gold and the Continuing ‘Greater Depression’

"On a personal level, try to produce more than you consume. Keep your savings in gold, not in currencies. Diversify internationally because your biggest risks today are political, not market risks, not investment risks. The investment risks today are huge because with governments all over the world creating trillions in new currency units they've driven stock markets to what I think are unsustainable levels. They've driven the bond markets to become the biggest bubble in world history. The bond markets are in a bigger bubble now than tech stocks were in the year 2000 or real estate was in the year 2007. Think like a speculator, because they're going to ignite lots more bubbles." Continue reading →

Erie County Sheriff Howard on SAFE Act: ‘I won’t enforce it’

"It’s no secret Sheriff Timothy B. Howard is opposed to New York’s new gun-control law. But Howard, who is running for re-election this year, is now ratcheting up his opposition by filing a friend of the court brief in the lawsuit seeking to overturn the SAFE Act and, even more important perhaps, by suggesting the law not be enforced. 'I’m more than reluctant,' he said of the new law Thursday. 'I won’t enforce it.' Howard, one of four sheriffs who joined in filing the brief this week, said he considers the law unconstitutional and a waste of valuable resources, and believes it will ultimately be overturned by the courts."

Bitcoin mining – public companies

"Bitcoin mining companies have several advantages over running a mining operation yourself. The most significant one is that you don’t have to worry about setting up and maintaining mining hardware. Many of these companies have built-in plans to increase their speed as the network difficulty rises, reducing the risk of a quickly diminishing payout. Additionally, selling shares is significantly more liquid than selling mining hardware if you decide not to be in the mining business anymore. The counter-point to these advantages is that you will be paying a management fee of several percent that will come out of profits." Continue reading →

The World’s First $1 Million Bitcoin Mining Auction

"A bitcoin mining company just sold more than $1,000,000 worth of hardware. ASICMiner is a publicly traded bitcoin company that both operates and sells bitcoin mining hardware. In their latest auction they successfully sold 180 ASIC mining blades for 49.99 bitcoins (BTC) each. Friedcat, the CEO, announced two weeks ago that they would be selling usb-powered mining devices for 1.99 BTC each. There is clearly a lot of demand for bitcoin mining hardware. The question in any gold rush is who will do better: the people mining, or the people selling the shovels? ASICMiner decided they can do both." Continue reading →

China housing inflation quickens to two year high

"China's housing inflation accelerated to its fastest pace in April in two years, driven by a jump in prices in Beijing and Shanghai, complicating the task of policymakers trying to cool the property sector while supporting economic expansion. Average new home prices rose 4.9 percent last month from a year ago, after a year-on-year increase of 3.6 percent in March, according to Reuters calculations from data released by the National Bureau of Statistics(NBS) on Saturday. The rise was the sharpest since April 2011. New home prices in Beijing rose 10.3 percent in April from a year earlier and Shanghai's prices were up 8.5 percent in April from a year ago."

Pilotless Planes, Pacific Tensions

"This week the Navy will launch an entirely autonomous combat drone — without a pilot on a joystick anywhere — off the deck of an aircraft carrier, the George H. W. Bush. The drone will then try to land aboard the same ship, a feat only a relatively few human pilots in the world can accomplish. This exercise is the beginning of a new chapter in military history: autonomous drone warfare. But it is also an ominous turn in a potentially dangerous military rivalry now building between the United States and China. To offset China’s numerical advantage and technological advances, the United States Navy is betting heavily on drones." Continue reading →
