Video: Frisby at his brilliant best, short the UK and Europe, long USA and Argentina, libertarianism works, socialism fails
This is not a song it is well argued fact and ignore it at your peril. Argentina shows that we libertarians are right. The UK and Europe head in a different direction and we will all suffer. My friend Dominic Frisby explains it clearly, I suspect the millionaire selling all his sterling assets to whom he refers is Jim Mellon. Enjoy.- By Tom Winnifrith |

The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Correction Continues
Gold closed the week at $2,622 – down from last week’s$2,648 but still in nomansland in terms of general direction. Our favourite technical analyst, Jordan Roy-Byrne of TheDailyGold.com reminds us that corrections can be with price or just time and whilst Gold is off its high point of $2,790 it is a long way from bear territory. So the correction continues to grind on and on, but essentially Gold is going nowhere right now, and Gold stocks are suffering, as can be seen on the chart below of Gold vs the miners’ ETFs GDX (majors), GDXJ (juniors) and GOEX (explorers).- By Nigel Somerville |

Both have sought to put me straight today. Both are good folk, well meaning and honest. One (Lemming) usually knows what he is talking about. Today both were 100% wrong.- By Tom Winnifrith |

The Great ShareProphets Christmas Red Flags At Night Sweepstakes Is Back – Place Your Bets Now
As I ponder the best way to kindle economic growth, I have come up with a cunning plan: taxing dodgy RNSs at no-one-is-watching o’clock on Christmas Eve. That’s sure to work. My friend Diane Abbot reckons if I charge a very reasonable and affordable £1 million per dodgy RNS on Christmas Eve on these rich companies which pay little tax – largely on the AIM tax-avoidance market - it will bring in trillions, especially if last year’s total of 46 is repeated. They have to pay their fair share, after all. As an internationally recognised economist, I think we have to take these numbers seriously.- By Rachel From Customer Services |
