Hot And Trending...
Trending
- Unsurprisingly, the Vietnamese government has tried to bring all of that gold out of the underground economy. But as is generally the case, that’s easier said than done. http://bit.ly/2mFTYXC
- Against Public Policy
- From CNBC. http://bit.ly/25CwpB2
- When Obama was running these big deficits, the Fed was monetizing them with trillion dollars a year of QE's. Now, they’re not doing any. So, that means we’re going to have a massive increase in interest rates. That means stocks collapse. http://bit.ly/2BTx6Mr
- Hedonic adjustments for technological advances overstate the benefits to consumers, and allow the government to understate CPI increases. Just because a computer is twice as fast does not mean it delivers twice the value to consumers.
- Conventional wisdom tells us gold should be way down. Since gold doesn’t pay dividends or interest payments, investors typically shed non-yielding assets like gold. It isn’t. People are buying gold. http://bit.ly/2EIPDJB
- Silver Is Significantly Undervalued – A Terrific Buy (Video) @SchiffGold http://t.co/uEnTBjhOsm
- I'm a software developer looking for an idea for a open source project. What do you think it could be helpful?
- Hope springs eternal. After having initially forecast 2017 Q4 #GDP growth at 4.5%, only to see it come in at just 2.6% (likely to be revised lower next month), the Atlanta Fed's initial read on 2018 Q1 GDP is 4.2%. Let the GDP limbo begin.
- Gold’s $12 dollar selloff is now a $13 dollar rally. Maybe traders are finally figuring out that inflation is good for gold. Wait until they figure out that no matter how hot inflation gets, the Fed is powerless to put out the fire! http://bit.ly/2Cp3EKY

The rich will get richer because return on investment
Most of leftist will say that, for example if someone has 20% of global wealth in a free economy there is no way he will loose it, nor he will stop being the richest person in the world, him or his sons. Cause he has to spend les % of money than anyone else so he can invest much more. I know this is not true based on empirical evidence, but I have a hard time rebutting this based solely on logic. I know someone can come up with an idea that will make a lot of wealth (google, apple...) but I'm not sure how generation after generation they can reduce this 20% if they invest in a diversified portfolio that give him a return, even if is 1% (with no inflation). Can anyone point me on the right direction? I have a theory although I'm not sure if it's true: The richest person will increase his purchasing power while reducing his net worth because the difficulty of successfully investing so much money (you can make a lot of return if you're poor and open a small company after you see a need for a particular market but this becomes increasingly difficult if you want the same return when you have a lot of money).
