Europe Melting, US Economy Stalled. What You Can Do Now

By Mike Larson – Weiss Research Earlier this year, both in Orlando, Florida, at the World MoneyShow and here in Money and Markets, I said that five “Great Deceptions” threatened the wealth of investors everywhere. The fifth and most important of those? That “European officials are truly ‘solving’ the European debt crisis.” I said I couldn’t believe anyone was peddling that ridiculous argument. And I said Greece was going to default despite all its bailouts, and the risk from a European calamity was high. One month ago, I ramped things up, saying that “Europe is mired in recession. Asia...

by Tom Essaye The old saying is that the best way for a billionaire to become a millionaire is to buy an airline. And there’s indeed truth to that.
