    Too Good For Too Long

    Over-extended systems contract quickly & violently
    by Adam Taggart

    Having just lived through the massive fires in northern California — on top of watching news reports over the previous weeks of similarly abrupt "before/after" transitions in Houston, Florida, Puerto Rico, Mexico City, Las Vegas and Catalonia — I have a new-found appreciation for the maxim that when it arrives, change happens quickly — usually much more quickly than folks ever imagined, catching the general public off-guard and unprepared.

    We humans tend to think linearly and comparatively. In other words, we usually assume the near future will look a lot like the recent past. And it does much of the time.

    But other times it doesn't. And that's where the danger lies.

    Off The Cuff: Toxic Policies Are Killing The Economy

    Ruining our tomorrow to benefit an elite few today
    by Adam Taggart

    In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Wolf Richter discuss:

    • The Pricing Of Risk Is Kaput
      • Today's assets are priced at truly insane levels
    • As A Result, Safe Yields Are Non-Existent
      • Which is killing savers
    • The Masses Are Being Betrayed
      • Sacrificed for the benefit of a rarified few
    • The Housing Bubble 2.0 Appears Set To Pop
      • More data is showing a topping out

    Wolf returns this week to discuss the toxic repercussions of today's gross mis-pricing of risk. It leads to increasingly dangerous mal-investment, elevating the heights from which prices will fall during a correction. The worst part about this is that this current Mother Of All Bubbles is a deliberate act of policy by the central planners, who are sacrificing the future of the many to benefit the today of an elite few:

    You’re Likely A Lot Less Prepared For Crisis Than You Realize

    Lessons from the recent rash of natural disasters
    by Chris Martenson

    It seems as if Mother Nature is waking up. Either she's trying to send humans an important warning, or perhaps she's just out to kill us all.

    Massive storms across the globe, earthquakes, and collapsing ecosystems all combine to remind us that we are indeed intimately connected to our planet's natural systems. And that our well-being rests on staying on Mother Nature's good side.

    Well, Mother Nature has seemed pretty pissed at us of late. Her recent punishments should be taken as a disciplinary wake-up call.
