Dear CIGAs, Don’t worry. Everything is going to be as we anticipated it. Jim Sinclair’s Commentary The recent new derivative regulations exempt those large dealers that claim the status as hedgers. I suspect the Saudis drop of West Texas Intermediate as the measure of price is a step away from the huge US interest that with the use of highly sophisticated computer programs and infinite finance are able to adjust the price of world energy. Any move away is an effort to untangle that relationship.

Dismantling America Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many “czars” appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent? Did you think that another “czar” would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers– that is, to create a situation where some newspapers’ survival would depend on the government liking what they publish?

Last week’s new housing starts were reported by the media as further evidence of the deep hole the home building industry is in: Starts were up by barely half a percent nationwide, and permits for future construction were down.
