Home prices in the US peaked a year ago in June. Since then, transactions have noticeably cooled as mortgage rates have skyrocketed.

Alasdair then explains how gold and other hard assets can be good options for pr...

While much debate currently centers around whether the dollar will weaken further or resume the dominance it displayed last year, today's guest is more concerned about how much longer it has left as the pre-eminent currency in the world.

He returns to...

A concern that many recent experts on this channel have raised is that there is a dangerously high percentage of corporations that classify as "zombie companies".

How big of a concern is this? What implications would a mass die off of these zombies have on the markets, and the economy in general. For answers, we turn...

It appears Congress has reached a resolution on the debt ceiling standoff and the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 is now headed to President Biden's desk for signing into law. But could there be elements of this deal that actually increase the odds of a recession happening soon?

This will vacuum up liquidity from the system. In simil...
