Economy Guy

In This episode I talk about why gold fell like an avalanche after touching $1690.  I also talk about why this happened and what gold should be doing in the future.

In this episode I walk about the price of gold recently and its fundamental and technical drivers.  I also make a prediction on the possible future price for gold in 2020.  I also include a spoof of an incident of an Italian meeting in Dublin.

In this episode I talk about the main tools the FED has to manage the US economy - mainly the FED Funds Rate.  I discuss how these tools are working today and what shape the FED is in if a recession should hit the US economy.  The purpose of this episode is to understand the fundamental workings of the FED.

In this episode we look at what has changed in the UK after Brexit has happened.  Not much.  We also look at the problems that the EU faces without having the major contribution that Britain made to its annual budget.  Lots of infighting.

In this episode, I relive the sewer episodes of a prior blog and the latest construction project across the street of our apartment.  In addition, I give an update on the movement of the town's Merry-Go-Round - and associated construction.  Fun.

In this episode we talk about the definitions (yes plural) of inflation.  And is it meaningful in your life?  We look at the things that make up the CPI calculation, and alternative measures like PCE and Chapwood.  We look at what can go wrong with inflation.

Today's episode explains the definition and measurement of US GDP.  It talks about the influence of government spending on GDP.

In this episode Tom Harvey talks about the US stock, bond, commodity and real estate markets - predicting their outcome for 2020.  He also introduces some possibly negative events that could, but probably won't come along.
