"With seemingly everyone from the blogosphere to the
Tweeter-in-chief chiming in on fake news, have investors considered their risk/return profile may also be “fake”? When it comes to investing, who or what can we trust, is the market rigged, and
why does it matter?"

US oil
rig counts rose for the 7th straight week (up 7 to 609) to the highest level
since October 2015. And production looks set to rise further as Exxon will now ramp up spending on shale drilling,
after watching dozens of smaller companies profit from the surge in production
in Texas, North Dakota and elsewhere over the past decade.

"Using
the results from the Fed staff's work, and assuming that there results can be

Posted on March 3, 2017 by Charles

The mainstream narrative is “the
problem is low wages.” Actually, the problem is the soaring cost of living. If essentials such as healthcare, housing, higher
education and government services were as cheap as they once were, a wage of
$10 or $12 an hour would be more than enough to maintain a decent everyday
life.
Here are some examples from the
real world. In 1952, In 1952, it
cost $30 to have a baby in an excellent hospital. If we adjust that
by official inflation as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistic’s inflation calculator to
2017, the cost would be $275. ($1 in 1952 = $9.16 in 2017).
What does it cost to
have a baby delivered in a hospital today? $5,000? $10,000? Who even knows,
given the convoluted billing process in today’s sickcare system?
The pharmaceutical cartel jacks
up medication costs per dose from $3 to $600, even when the medication has been
around for decades: the Pinworm
prescription jumps from $3 to up to $600 a pill Parents,
doctors angry over drug price gouging (via John F.)
My father paid 1.8% of his wages for “hospital group
insurance” in the early 1950s (for a
household of four kids and two adults.) For someone earning $1,000 a week, the equivalent today would be $72 a
month out of a monthly gross income of $4,000.
