More on the von Mises Prophecy and Other Links
Below are links to the latest important financial news stories on the web.
I am going to try and go about the links a bit differently in the future. Rather than just list the links here, I intend to expand on some of the stories presented in the links in posts. This is part of my move away from opinion-based financial news coverage to a greater emphasis on forecasting. So some of what were links will become full-blown (short) posts. Feedback on this shift is appreciated (write us at feedback at creditwritedowns.com).

Go for it! Look forward to reading what you have to say. I also like the shift to forecasting, too.
Thanks, Jim. I’ll do some short posts like the one I did highlighting Pimco’s EM debt call and maybe some short ones on the economic statistics and things of that sort. On the whole I am moderately upbeat about the near-term in the U.S.
More to come.
I’ve noticed your upbeat forecast. I’m curious, though, what do you define “near-term.” First half of next year? First quarter?
I’m talking about the ‘foreseeable future’ which is probably 3-6 months at most.
