I have a bit of financial experience having invested in equities (stocks) in the 1960s & 70s, commodities in the 80s & commercial real estate in the 90s. I sold in 2005. I have a tendency to be early but I’d rather be too early than too late.
I am appalled at our rapidly deteriorating global condition so I’ve written articles for family, friends & colleagues since 2007; warning them and explaining what’s happening, what we can expect in the future and how we can prepare and mitigate the worst of the social, political, economic fallout. As a public service, in October 2010, I created this blog so my commentary is accessible to a larger number of people.
There are a number of archived articles posted by year beginning in 2007. Major articles can run 30 to 40 pages. Brief updates can be one to five pages. My articles are long. This is no accident. They’re designed to avoid a mass audience and creating a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’. Unfortunately, events keep proving me right, dammit!
If you want to learn real economic basics, read “The Crash of 2007″ where I explain in simple language the causes of our economic collapse. Each subsequent year’s major articles expand on this knowledge.
Don’t let anyone tell you that economics is complicated. It’s not. Economics is common sense. What’s complicated is the crap being taught in universities because it has no resemblance to real life. Read some of my major articles and judge for yourself.
In addition to economic articles, there are other categories you might find interesting. Check the Category list on the right.
You might ask what qualifies me to write this stuff and it would be a good question. Student politics and my Political Science major gives me both an understanding of political theory and a realistic grounding in power politics. An introductory course in Economics demonstrated that today’s prevailing Keynesian economic theory does NOT work and a lifetime studying the Austrian school shows me what DOES work. Courses in statistical analysis and methodology as a well as 6 Sigma certification helps me identify statistical bullshit. Various career positions ranging from hourly, staff, supervisory and management in a variety of industries allows me to see many sides of the same coin. A realistic understanding of human nature and a natural skeptical bent allows me to connect the dots, cut through the crap and see the big picture. And, an abiding faith in humanity tells me that you, the reader, can judge for yourself after reading some of my commentary and analysis.
I’m not interested in increasing my search ‘hits’ for greater blog popularity ratings and I refuse to use SEO’s (Search Engine Optimization) techniques. My mission is to provide honest and useful information and a bit of light-hearted humor to help people understand and weather the increasing economic turmoil. If you find this blog useful, please tell your family, friends & colleagues so that they too can benefit.

No one leaves comments because you don’t speak of things we understand, such as the Kardshians, or the lies that the media tells us are important. Just deep thoughts that hurt our brain and make us sad.
don’t you think the real problem in this country is a lack of education (thank you Reagan)? The media makes us dumb, and too few of us educate ourselves.
Wish I could disagree with you. Unfortunately, you’re very perceptive.
I’ve been watching the gradual dumbing down not only in the U.S. but most of the western world over many decades. I really noticed it when I got rid of the TV more than 20 years ago and got a life. Every so often I’ll catch a bit of TV at a friend’s or away on business and I’m appalled. Watched the news a while ago and kept waiting for something newsworthy until the weather came on and they got that wrong, too.
Oh, well. I’ll keep writing for those who can read without moving their lips. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
Does the Sleeping Giant mast head have any special significance? I am an ex Port Arthur (Current River) guy. I do not think I have ever came across a blog from T/Bay if thats what it means.
You’ve just come across a blog from Thunder Bay. I see the Sleeping Giant from my living room window although that particular view is near the Terry Fox monument just east of the city. As far as signifigance is concerned, I hadn’t really thought about it other than it’s a striking view.
Putting my creative hat on, I could say that my blog strives to awaken the world to monumental issues, but I’m too humble to believe I have that much of an impact. I’ll settle for awakening one mind at a time.
Thanks for your comment. I’m getting 500 to 600 visitors a day and I’m amazed how few leave comments (other than a ton of spam comments).
No Comment for now because this is going to take a while to digest. You have been busy! Hey it was real nice seeing you again. Have a great Xmas, Ziggy
