“Global Economic Slowdown Deepens” read the 14 November front page Wall Street Journal headline. It’s real. And while some nations are slowing down, others are diving deep into economic and social despair. No clearer example than what’s going on south of America’s border down Mexico way, where several thousand escapees who left their economically depressed...

The world is going cashless, so why wouldn’t digital currencies soar?
Q&A with Jonathan Cho continued It’s important to distinguish digital currencies in their current form from digital currencies as an overall phenomenon. The overall phenomenon is going to trend up, but the current incarnation is unlikely to. The first cellphones were large, clunky, and could only do a fraction of what cellphones can do today....
Equities and the economy
If you invested in the Chinese markets, or for that fact the entire Emerging Market Index, now down 20 percent this year, you’re stuck in bear territory. If you put your money in the American markets, you’re riding on top of what is now the longest bull run in U.S. stock history. What’s next? On...
State of middle class: Standing still
Twenty years ago, the Five-O model predicted that the middle class would devolve. At the crux of Celente’s forecast was the wage and purchasing power trend line that would emerge early in the 21st century as the global economy adapted to the Five-Os.

As Goes Gold, So Goes the Economy
Has gold lost its shine? It’s down 5 percent in the last three months. No surprise. We’ve been forecasting for years that gold prices will decline as the U.S. dollar gained ground, and that’s what’s driving the prices lower. Up until recently, the price of gold has varied only modestly, with positive and negative swings...
High Risk, Fast Moving Market Madness. This is the Future.
If you only follow the mainstream business news, you believe that every significant upward or downward move in equity markets was a direct cause and effect of a “breaking news” event that day. For example, when the Dow went haywire Tuesday falling more than 350 points after being up 250 points, CNBC blamed it on...
Equity Market Forecast: Correction, Crash or new Highs?
Everyone tuned-in to stock market news knows the story. US equities experienced a 10-percent correction recently over concerns that higher inflation would push the Federal Reserve to tighten monetary policy faster than expected. The Street feared that stopping the cheap money flow that juiced equity markets since 2009, would put a damper on future stock...
