I am a graduate of Columbia University and a student of the markets, cycles, and macroeconomic trends. I created this blog to document the ongoing economic crisis in real-time, and to give an honest, objective analysis of economic events. Based on the current economic environment, I am focusing a great deal of attention on the gold and silver market. In addition to writing this blog, I am a contributor on Seeking Alpha and Zero Hedge.
