As More Companies Fess Up, the Cycle Turn Becomes Undeniable
The credit cycle and the economic cycle are inextricably linked, says Mike Larson. In theory, when people can’t borrow money for businesses, commercial real estate and automobiles, then companies, developers and consumers can’t spend enough to fuel the economy. Mike has hard evidence to prove the theory. And a plan to profit from other people’s misfortune.
The Week’s Hot News
Money and Markets columnist Mike Larson, Boris Schlossberg, and Mike Burnick take a look at key financial and political events around the globe after the market close. Here are the week’s highlights:
Markets Catch a Brexit Break

The Only Certainty Is Uncertainty at the Fed
Fed Chairman Janet Yellen served up a bunch of double talk when she recently testified before U.S. legislators. And she used the word “uncertainty” 13 times in a press conference following her testimony. Well, Mike Larson wants to tell it like it is.
The Perfect Solution? Spend, Spend, Spend …
Boris Schlossberg argues that investing in America’s infrastructure would do more to stimulate the U.S. economy than the Fed’s QE and money-printing.

Contrary to what you write the Brits are not exiting the EU and no ties have been severed! The vote was only a Referendum which would have to be approved by Parliament invoking Article 50 to sever ties completely – which noone wants to do – certainly not Boris Johnson who had the loudest voice to exit. Do you hear anything from him now?? He’s been boxed into a corner, he can’t win either way.
@Messina, in that case the government would be callously and blatantly disregarding the clear will of the people. This is an action that could bring down the house quickly. It has certainly happened before.
With the Scots wanting to stay in the EU and separate from Britain, leaving the EU and Ireland wanting to re-unite with the North, perhaps then leaving Britain as Ireland’s economy flourishes.
The Scots need the serious financial support of Britain and perhaps they are counting on The EU/Brussels to pick up the short fall. Big leap of faith there. Scots want to be a Free Country, but loans don’t lead to Freedom. Loans lead to bondage.
I do hope they understand that. Either way there is a serious price to pay the piper. Maybe now, Britain can fix their ailing Healthcare program with the money they were sending to the EU sprawling bureaucracy and it’s wasteful spending. I believe the British have made the correct decision as Legislatures lose their power to an organization with 2 “movable” Capitols and additional 7 separate sites and multiple satellites each spewing out laws and restrictions to each member State. State Legislatures are getting fed up with loss of autonomy being dictated from Brussels. The wasteful spending of dues is a wearing point to the remaining 27 member States. How will EU make up the losses of British funding. It took years and years to form the United States and the question is does the EU have the patience and cohesion to truly merge into a united Europe. Time, the issue for governments as well as
