This page contains audio and video files of me providing commentary on current macroeconomic issues, stock market happenings from the day, as well as an occasional tutorial on topics such as Federal Reserve open market operations.  In addition, you'll find relevant video clips of interviews, Congressional testimony, financial stories from the news, and other material that I think will be interesting and enlightening.

In this podcast I provide a general welcome message to all visitors to the site, as well as conduct a tour of the website by pointing out the various sections and features you'll encounter as you browse the site.

This podcast covers two topics: inflation, its definition, and its effects on current economic conditions; and the Middle East turmoil and its relation to black swan conjecture. 

This podcast addresses the ongoing debate over whether to raise the US debt ceiling, which is set to be breached on or about August 2.

In this podcast I discuss one of the potential replacements for Treasury Secretary Geithner, Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan.

This podcast addresses the implications of the Congressional super-committee assigned to find $1.2 trillion in savings over the next decade, as they pertain to the individual investor.

In this video, Ron Paul, Texas Congressman and 2012 Republican Presidential candidate, and Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, debate whether gold should be considered money.  One of several classic sparring sessions between Paul and Bernanke.

Although this clip is from several years ago, it turned out to be prescient, as Ron Paul discussed currency devaluation with the head of the Federal Reserve, Chairman Ben Bernanke.  Their exchange takes place approximately seven months before the big market crash of September/October 2008, which led to a series of government stimulus and bank rescue policies, all of which contributed to the eventual and further devaluation of the US dollar.  This devaluation occurs as a result of the Fed monetizing US Treasury debt, or in other words, printing money.
