Stuff That Interests Me

On his recent trip to London, trader Michael Hampton discusses some of the issues raised in Dominic Frisby’s book.They discuss the importance of sound money, the shrinking of the middle class and currency competition.Dominic Frisby states that the extraordinarily uneven distribution of wealth in country’s like Britain and America is a consequence of our system of money. Those who receive the newly created money first benefit over those who don’t – a process which compounds over time and leads to an ever greater concentration of wealth among the top 1%. They also point out that government redistribution of wealth – whether via inflation or through welfare payments – is placing incredible pressure on the middle classes, who are finding themselves squeezed like never before.Please pre-order the book here.This podcast can also be heard at the Goldmoney Website.

Dominic Frisby talks to Athens resident, former bond trader and business man, Stratos Manolas.Greece faces a dire social situation with an unemployment rate of 25%, a rise in poverty, illegal immigration and capital flight.In the years leading up to the debt crisis, Greek politicians gladly took EU subsidies without assuring the productive use of those funds, which lead to an increase in debt and corruption. At the same time the regulatory setup in Greece has hindered the entrepreneurial spirit of the country. While the latest reforms were necessary and had good elements, Manolas criticises the implementation of reforms, and how the IMF forced them upon the people.The majority of Greeks still favour staying in the euro. Manolas states that a move to the drachma and the subsequent power to manage their own currency could lead to the postponement of necessary structural adjustments. They agree that the eurozone will continue to “muddle through”. Amid the gloom though, Manolas sees some positive sign

On his recent trip to London, trader Michael Hampton discusses gold, the stock market and the financial outlook.Good news … though he sees a correction in the short term, Mike is bullish about gold and gold stocks.Here’s a link to his charts.Hampton believes that the upcoming presidential election in the United States is going to an big impact on both gold and the stock market. The seasonal cycle calls for a correction in the gold market in October that could result in a significant low as early as this week. Once that’s out of the way Hampton expects a pretty decent upside move in the gold price.The four-year cycle in gold indicates that the year after the US elections on average sees a doubling of the gold price.His outlook for the stock market is not as bullish , as the liquidity injections of central banks seem to have a diminishing impact after each additional round. Therefore owning call options on gold or gold shares versus puts on stock indices could be an interesting trade.This

He is the author of a number of books, including Life at the Bottom: The Worldview That Makes the Underclass, Our Culture, What’s Left of It, and Spoilt Rotten: The Toxic Cult of Sentimentality.In his writing, Dalyrimple frequently argues that the liberal and progressive views prevalent within Western intellectual circles minimise the responsibility of individuals for their own actions and undermine traditional mores, contributing to the formation within rich countries of an underclass afflicted by endemic violence, criminality, sexually transmitted diseases, welfare dependency, and drug abuse. Much of Dalrymple’s writing is based on his experience of working
