Dear Reader, My, my, my…haven’t things turned? For over two years now, anytime I’ve brought up the word ‘retail’ in these pages, I’ve ended up with a special one-on-one chat with my publisher.

Dear Reader, Will the economy — and life as we know it — ever return to ‘normal’? Don’t bet on it, says Jim Rickards. In today’s edition of The Daily Reckoning Australia, Jim explains why we’re a long way off normal. In fact, he warns things could get worse — far worse — before they […]

Dear Reader, Well that was a bizarre two months. We’ve gone from digesting what the coronavirus impact could look like, stock markets crashing, café tables being taken away from us, being shuttered indoors, to social unrest in two major financial hubs. What’s ahead for the next seven months of this year? Here in Australia, we’re […]

Today we were going to talk about iron ore. I was going to share my thoughts on how we rely on selling it and suddenly our biggest buyer is threatening to go elsewhere for the stuff. I was going to tell you, it’s not what it seems. But those thoughts will need to wait another […]

What just happened…? April 2020 was a blur of spreading infections, rising fatalities, personal lockdowns, and an utterly devastating economic collapse.
