Earlier this morning we got the first look at Q4 GDP As I suggested on the last podcast, in fact as I have been saying all along We did see a sharp decline from the Q3 3.5% GDP The consensus was for a 2.2% estimate for growth in Q4 And we came in at 1.9% Quite a way below estimates and psychologically below the 2% number Part of the reason was a big drop in exports I talked about this last quarter One of the reasons we got that 3.5% jump in Q3 GDP Was the big surge in soybean exports, because of a drought overseas Which created a temporary increase for U.S. beans The rest of it was an inventory build, which I still think needs to be worked off In fact, I think we're going to work off a lot of it in the first quarter of this year That's the first estimate, and, who knows, they may downward revise it the next time they give us the numbers If you now take the first 3 quarters of GDP growth, and use the first estimate for Q4 For the entire year of 2016 GDP grew at just 1.6% That is the lowest number since 2009, tied with 2011, at 1.6% also If you remember 2011 GDP growth was so weak that they launched QE3 for 2012 So they ended QE2, the economy started rolling over And when they got that 1.6% GDP for the entire year The Fed very quickly came out and launched QE3 the following year to goose the GDP back up What are they doing now? Not only is the Fed not preparing to launch another round of QE They are tightening monetary policy They're saying, "We're going to raise interest rates 3 times, even though GDP is as low as it has been for the entire "recovery' Even though the economy is decelerating, we are going to sedate it with rate hikes

Gold and silver prices continue to march higher Gold was up another $7 today; it closed at $1363.20 - that is the high for the year Silver was up .15 at $20.06 Silver is now going up relative to the price of gold which is very for the precious metals complex Gold stocks are on fire; the XAU index, a gold stock index was up 3.27% today It's now up better than 135% on the year and well over 150% from the lows on the third week in January But do you think that any major players on Wall Street have recommended gold stocks? Do any of the big hedge funds have positions in gold? No! They are clueless What is happening, as I have said before, is that there is a picture, that's kind of blurry, but it's coming into focus, still not clear, but it's a game changer The perception is that we had this great recovery and that the Fed was going to be able to unwind its balance sheet, normalize interest rates and everything was going to be great So the whole investment world was preparing for higher rates, a stronger dollar and a stronger U.S. economy But what is the actual picture? The actual picture is an economic recovery that is over, if it ever even happened, The Fed is finished tightening and they're about to start a new easing campaign We're not done with QE; we're just getting started - QE3 is closer to the beginning than the end Rather than shrinking the balance sheet, it's about to explode This picture is getting clearer and now you see the markets re-pricing Gold is going up every day Gold stocks are going up The banks are getting crushed The European banks hit new lows again today FOMC minutes came out for June and what did the minutes reveal? The members were concerned about weakening employment number and they wanted more data before raising rates They wanted to make sure the weakening numbers were an aberration rather than a new trend Who didn't see that coming? Also they wanted to see what happened with the Brexit vote We knew about the Brexit vote all year - why did the Fed ever pretend that they would raise rates in June? Because they wanted the market to believe that a rate hike was possible because it validates the phony recovery So now the instead of raising rates, they spoke about raising them and they are going to cut rates by just talking about reducing them They can do a lot by adjusting their rhetoric before they actually cut rates They are already cutting by backtracking their rhetoric, because that's all they've got Teddy Roosevelt said, "Walk softly but carry a big stick." The Fed has to speak loudly because it has no stick

I'm on vacation this week but I did take a little time out to little time out to listen to Janet Yellen's semi-annual "Humphrey-Hawkins" testimony - she testified first before the Senate, that was yesterday and today she was before the house It used to be a lot more interesting with Ron Paul was on the house banking committee and you could see Ron Paul asking questions to Ben Bernanke I really would like to hear Rand Paul questioning Janet Yellen but unfortunately, we don't have that opportunity Also, the big news, we are on the eve of the Brexit vote in the U.K.; it's going to be on Thursday Polls of investor sentiment show the remain camp is firmly in the lead Betting certainly shows that more money is on the remain, but more people are betting on leave Probably, though the remain camp will carry the day; the forces of big government are very hard to overcome Nowhere is big government better exemplified than in the case of the Federal Reserve, which is the combination of big government and central banking Janet Yellen's testimony, I thought, was relatively boring, but I'm going to go over some of the more important tidbits Yellen keeps referring to the recovery that appears to be on track and the rate hike is just around the corner All this is nonsense - if the Fed were going to raise rates, they would have already done so One senator or congressman asked Yellen about the box the Fed might be in because the rates are still so low, what tools does Yellen have to fight off the next recession Yellen confidently replied that we have all the tools we've always had, which is true They still have those tools; the problem is that these tools have never worked They can't cut rates, much, they can print all the money they want, they can do QE4, it can be bigger than QE3, and it probably will be Even though Janet Yellen, in response to a direct question about negative interest rates, said that she didn't think the Fed would go there, well we'll see When push comes to shove they may be more willing to go there than they are right now because they still want to pretend that the recovery is on track, so why even bring up negative rates when you're talking about raising rates So I think once the conversation turns then negative rates may be a more serious consideration One of the congressmen asked about Puerto Rico and Janet Yellen said, "No, there's nothing we can do, Puerto Rico is on it's own." I wish the Fed would have had the same attitude about the mortgage market The Federal Reserve has no problem buying up toxic mortgages but they wouldn't touch Puerto Rican sovereign debt with ta 10-foot pole Which leads you to believe how risky that debt much be I wish the Fed would do the same thing to the U.S. government - force the U.S. government to make those tough choices In fact, there was a House member, today, who talked to Janet Yellen about the independent central banks and Janet Yellen bluffed, that if interest rates, and that was a problem for Congress, that Congress would have to deal with the problem I don't believe her for a second I believe on of the reasons, specifically that Janet Yellen doesn't want to raise rates is that she knows that will complicate the budget situation in Washington because the Federal Government can't afford to pay higher interest rates If the Federal Reserve already bailed out the government by doing QE and buying all these bonds, why are they going to change course? I don't believe for a second Janet Yellen's tough talk about how independent the Federal Reserve is and how if the situation warranted it, they would raise interest rates and Congress would have to deal with the consequences There's no way the Fed is going to do that; she may have fooled some of the people on that sub-committee, but she didn't fool me Of course, she always gets these questions about jobs, and how are you going to create jobs,

Well the Dow Jones got clobbered again today, down 252 points at the close The NASDAQ down about 55 The transports continue to get clobbered down another 146 points, decisively in bear market territory CNBC blamed the entire decline on jitters over North Korea's hydrogen bomb test I admit that this prospect is not good, but I don't believe that announcement was the reason for the decline The real problem is the Fed removing the monetary herion from the addicts on Wall Street and this is the withdrawal Former President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, spoke on CNBC yesterday and he admitted that the Fed "engineered a stock market rally" They wanted all this phony wealth to cause us to make irrational decisions That's what happened during the dot com bubble and to a greater extent during the housing bubble Here you have it from the words of a former Fed president, a voting member who voted for QE 1 & 2 who is saying that the Fed did this to create a "wealth effect" He even said, don't be surprised if the market goes down 20% - it's still overvalued - he admits the Fed was propping it up Obviously if the Fed removes the props the market will go down After Simon Hobbs asked Fisher if he is going to apologize, he said," Don't blame me, I voted against QE3!" He is throwing his colleagues, including Janet Yellen, under the bus Now that he is no longer at the Fed, he refers to it as a "giant weapon that is out of ammunition" The Fed still has ammo: cut rates (in this case, even to negative) and QE4, their big bazooka There's plenty of ammo left and it will be fired a lot sooner than people think Korea is an excuse, but Richard Fisher is letting the cat out of the bag, but no one in the media is picking up on this Also in the markets today, while stocks were going down, gold was going up - gold hit a 2-month high today As fast as it is going up in dollars, it is going up even faster in other currencies, like the Canadian dollar, which hit a 9-year low, the Australian dollar The yen was up - the dollar/yen is breaking down - to me that is a very scary proposition for the markets to see this strength in the Japanese yen Oil prices continued to drop, down another $2 today - we're trading below $34 Gold stocks were up - you'd think they would be up a lot more because mining costs are plunging and revenue is going up, but Wall Street is oblivious to the bargains that exist in the mining stocks We got a lot of economic news today and most of it was, as is typically the case, bad Yesterday vehicle sales were at a 6-month low Last year was a record for auto sales, but December was a 6-month low despite all the Christmas giveaways Meanwhile the inventory to sales ratio continues to rise - a new high since the 2008-2009 great recession Also GM got clobbered today, down about 4% - already down 9% for the year and down more than 20% from its 52-wk high - that is a bear market This is telling me that the auto bubble has popped There are going to be a lot of layoffs in the auto sector - good, high-paying jobs I have said that starting in January 2016 we would start to see layoffs because the numbers have been horrible Sure enough, Macy's today announced a restructuring, laying off thousands of workers because of disappointing sales throughout the year We will see a huge blow-up in the securitized market for auto loans They layoffs are coming - the low unemployment number is the rear view mirror Looking at the actual economy in the windshield is a disaster for jobs This is deja vu - in 2008 the subprime market had already exploded - the housing market problems should have been obvious Yet everybody said, "don't worry, it's contained." and I said why can't anybody see that everything I have been warning about for years is happening People were still denying what I was saying even as the financial crisis had already begun

The price of gold was down another $15 today, a 6-year low Selling began early this morning following a better than expected jobs report from ADP This is private payrolls released a couple of days before the official government Non-Farm Payroll number, coming out on Friday Last month's ADP report was 182,000 jobs, which was below expectations But the government reported better than expected jobs numbers Today's number was not significant enough to have triggered a sell-off in gold within seconds of the release of the news So far, ADP has missed 8 of the 12 expectations this year By the way, hedge funds are the most short they've ever been in gold We'll see what happens between now and the end of the year if we get a lot of hedge funds that want to book those profits Paper profits may be difficult to realize if everyone needs to take them at the same time In the physical world, demand for gold continues to hit records 98-99% of the gold market is people selling gold they don't actually have to people who don't actually want it It's interesting to me the difference between the market reaction to positive economic news versus negative news The November PMI number, although slightly better than expected it is still a 2-year low Where the news went from bad to horrific was when we got the November ISM number. Manufacturing is considered insignificant now because it is a smaller part of our economy, but the last time it was almost as low as this, the Fed immediately launched QE3. Now with ISM number nearly as weak as it was when we launched QE1, the Fed is hinting at a rate hike, which is absurd if you believe that the Fed is data dependent. If the Fed does raise rates in December it proves conclusively that they were never data dependent and that they were using it as a delay tactic Had the Fed raised rates years ago, it would have pushed the economy into recession that much sooner, but they've now waited so long, that the economy is already going back into a recession on its own If the Fed now raises rates even slightly, we will go into recession that much more quickly, causing credibility loss. Also, yesterday we got motor vehicle sales numbers, and we did 18.2 million, beating the expected number of 18.1 million; however this is the second or third month in a row that domestic sales have declined This is all a product of the auto bubble. Contrary to comparisons to the housing bubble, where people bought homes for investments, the bubble exists in automobile financing Also contributing to the weakness in gold, were Janet Yellen's recent statements containing the strongest indications yet that interest rates may raise in December She did, however, go out of her way to insist that the Fed has not made a decision, based on data coming in prior to the December meeting Yellen admits to improvements in the labor market, but acknowledges that there is underemployment and low labor force participation She did say, however, that she is confident that over the next 1-2 years, the economy will show real improvement in full employment and labor force participation She also believes that the economy is indicating enough momentum that inflation will also reach or exceed the 2% benchmark Paradoxically, economic data over the last 6 months show no such momentum If the manufacturing sector is already in recession, as data indicates, what makes Yellen believe that the service sector, which has shown modest growth, can sustain any growth? The only problem Yellen does address is overseas markets Ironically the worst thing that can happen to the U.S. economy is for markets to have more confidence in overseas economies, which will cause the dollar to fall Another source of Yellen's optimism is her expectation that there will be more government hiring The last thing our economy needs is to support more government workers!

The CRUSH IS ON in the stock market. Yes, I’ll continue our analysis of the RISK of rental property investing… but with what’s happening in the stock market right now… well, America is crying out for leadership where the caving-in of the stock market is concerned, and I’m here to give it to you. I’m Bryan Ellis. This is episode #120.---------Hello, SDI Nation! Welcome to the podcast of record for savvy self-directed investors like you. Ever wonder why the topics I discuss so frequently find their way onto other financial shows? It’s simple: Self Directed Investor Radio is SHOW PREP for everyone else. We set the table… everyone else sits at it. And you, my friends, are welcomed guests!Back on August 5, I gave you a warning about the stock market. I focused on Apple computer, and suggested to you that as Apple goes, so goes the rest of the market. I told you the reason that I feared for Apple was because of the weakness of China’s economy, and the dependency Apple has on that market for future growth.On that day, I advised: Consider taking at least some of your profits out of Apple… and fast.And since that day? Well, it’s a big, fat, I told-you-so.Since then:Apple stock has dropped by 8.3%.The S&P 500 has dropped by over 6%.And, oh yeah… China devalued their currency in the wake of a crash in their stock market… confirming for all the world to see that the great economic power of the east is, at very best, on shaky ground after decades of misrepresenting the truth.And, oh, by the way, as of this moment – about 8am Eastern on Monday, August 24 – Dow Jones Industrial Average Futures were down by over 700 points at one point this morning. The Nasdaq is presently locked at what’s called “Limit Down”… meaning that traders are pushing the market lower, but the market circuit breakers are kicking in and forcing an artificial stop to the descent.Who knows what will actually happen. The whole thing could recover before the market opens. But I doubt it. There are some really negative indicators going on right now.Now, my friends, I want you to understand the gravity of what’s going on here.If you had $100,000 invested in Apple stock back on August 5 when I brought this up, you’ve now lost about $8,300 if you didn’t take action based on my analysis back then. Who’s to say that Apple won’t rally and achieve new all-time highs? Nobody, absolutely nobody. But here’s the thing: The chart doesn’t look good……Either for Apple, or for the broader market.Folks, there’s a time and place for everything. I respectfully submit to you that now is not the time, and this is not the place to be a retail stock investor.There are many companies out there that are very well run, and that represent fundamentally wise plays, if you’re analyzing the quality of those companies in a vacuum separate from the broader economy. But folks, you know that’s not wise.How do you feel about our economy? Do you feel like it’s really as strong as the media is telling you? I told you just a few days ago, in Episode 117, the hard evidence of how the government is very aggressively lying to all of us about the state of this economy. And as the insanely vicious and racially bigoted preacher Jeremiah Wright one said, “America’s chickens are coming home to roost!”My friends… in the middle of this chaos… in the middle of this concern… Things have been pretty boring around my house. Pleasantly so. We keep getting checks in the mail. It’s not sexy like the stock market. We know exactly what the amount of those checks will be every month. I mean… in one way – the profitability – it’s WAY sexier than the stock market. But it’s boring. Checks month after month. Month after month. Not volatile. Not exciting. Very boring.And PROFOUNDLY RELIABLE.My friends, listen up: This show is not for the faint of heart. If you want somebody to tell you some middle-of-the-road advice… if you want to hear ideas that are merely acceptable for everybody but truly great for nobody… this isn’t your show.But if you want the hard truth, people, here it is:The truth about the U.S. stock market has been manipulated so incredibly thoroughly, and it simply can’t go on. The media hasn’t even had to lie to you about the situation in stocks for several years, because it’s looked so positive. But it’s a LIE, my friends… and if we’re not on the precipice of the big reveal of that fact, we’re not far away.Folks, you’ve doubtlessly heard the phrase “Quantitative Easing”. You may have even heard it as QE1 or QE2 or QE3… because the government did it in 3 different distinct, massive rounds. I’ll not bother you with what they SAY quantitative easing was all about. But I will tell you what it actually was: It was a way for the federal reserve to print a HUGE amount of new money, dump it into the stock market in order to see the averages go higher, and thereby distract the entire country from the fact that the fundamentals of this economy are HORRIBLE.Folks… it’s been more than 40 years since our labor force participation was as awful as it is right now.The REAL unemployment rate – factoring in people who are working menial part time jobs or other obvious underemployment – is, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistic’s own admission – is over 10%... and much higher than that according to some very reputable sources, including the Gallup organization.My friends: The time for you to do as you’re told with your money is long since over.I’d like to remind you of something I said just a moment ago: In the midst of this financial chaos – and I fear that’s exactly what’s brewing, is real chaos – things have been pleasantly calm in the Ellis household. The stock market can fall apart, and, while it’s certainly not true that I don’t care about that, what I can say is… it doesn’t affect me. Those boring, consistent, predictable checks keep coming in… month after month… and the profits keep mounting.Folks, I’m not telling you it’s time to sell your portfolio. Though… who’s to say. What I am telling you is this: It’s time to consider a new CORE for your portfolio. An entirely new basis… something that’s strong, something based on real value, something that’s profitable, something you can predict and plan for.You need something that’s SIMPLE. You need something that’s SAFE. You need something that’s STRONG.It’s time for a return to SANITY.If you’re worried about what the current terror in the market will mean for your portfolio, let’s talk. You can set up an appointment by texting the word GUIDANCE to 33444 or visiting SDIRadio.com/guidance. Better yet, my friends, if you’d like to never, ever have to be worried again about what the terror in the market will mean for your portfolio, that’s an even better reason for us to talk, and to talk right away. It’s not too late. Again, you can set up an appointment by texting the word GUIDANCE to 33444 or visiting SDIRadio.com/guidance.My friends, remember that core value #1 of wise self-directed investors is this: We always RESPECT our own capital. Is it showing respect for your capital to leave it sitting in a market with a foundation as shaky as that of the U.S. stock market.Wouldn’t you like to have a firm foundation for your portfolio, folks? I love these words about building on a firm foundation: “The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.”Like I said, it’s entirely possible that the market will recover entirely today and it will turn out to be a “normal” day… at least as far as the history books are concerned. But what’s happening right now isn’t normal for a foundation built on solid rock.I’d love to help you build that foundation in your portfolio. My friends: Invest wisely today, and live well forever!

Not great news The devil is in the details The Labor Force Participation Rate - 62.9 last month - plunged down to 62.6% This is the lowest rate since 1977 432,000 people dropped out of the labor force in June - twice the number of people who got jobs in June Once again, these new jobs are low-paying service sector jobs During the Obama "recovery" we have lost 1.4 million manufacturing jobs and gained 1.4 million wait staff and bartender jobs According to the Household Survey 640,000 Americans left the labor force in June Now we have a record 93.6 million Americans no longer in the labor force The Household Survey reports 349,000 jobs were lost during the month The only net gain - 161,000 part time jobs - represent a net loss The Household Survey shows that we lost good jobs When asked about the Labor Force Participation Rate number, Secretary of Labor Perez commented, "One month does not a trend make." This trend has been going down every month of every year that President Obama has been in office Janet Yellen announced that the Fed would not start raising rates without "further improvement in the labor market" She specifically cited the Labor Force Participation Rate and proliferation of part-time jobs as troubling trends We are now further from that goal The demographic leaving the labor force are young people who cannot find jobs Average Hourly Earnings, to increase .2, actually came in flat, at zero Last month's .3 increase was revised down to .2, failing to beat the estimate Weekly Jobless Claims expected to come in at 270,000, actually came in at 281,000 and I think this number is going to go higher There have been fewer hires and fewer fires than expected because the estimates were based on the Birth/Death model, that is proving inaccurate Factory Orders are down for 9 of the last 10 months - this month we were looking for -.3% and we got -1% April was originally reported as -.4 but was revised down to -.7 Year over year Factory Orders are down 6.3% (adjusted) The only time we have seen numbers this weak is during a recession The economy is in worse shape now that when QE3 was launched Yet the markets did not react to these bad numbers They still cling to the narrative that the Fed is going to raise rates because the U.S. economy is in good shape Article on Motley Fool refers to me as someone who was "right for the wrong reason" The misquoted me on my prediction on (mortgage)interest rates going up After I made that statement, interest rates did go up for 2 years - they did not go down until after the bubble burst The Fed raised interest rates from 1% to 5-1/2 percent This quote was taken out of context - read my 2007 book, "Crash Proof" There are dozens of articles about the real estate bubble 2004-2007 The record shows that I was right for all the right reasons I did think the dollar would go down after the housing bubble burst, but by the time the bubble burst the dollar was at a record low The mainstream media would like to discredit my earlier predictions in order to discount my current predictions The higher interest rates I predicted have not happened yet because a dollar crisis will precede the rise in interest rates The fact that we have delayed the day of reckoning for so long means that...

Not a chance. The last three rounds of QE didn't give us economic growth and neither will the next one It may blow more air into the stock market bubble, but the air is going to come out of the dollar bubble even faster Where is the Fed's balance sheet going to be at the end of QE4? It is 4.5 trillion right now. How can anyone possibly believe Janet Yellen when she says she is going to shrink the balance sheet? Are creditors are going to get wise and there is going to be a run on the dollar You can see the beginnings of it today The dollar was down across the board Gold was back to about $1,250; every time it gets to this level it gets knocked down by short-sellers, but eventually they are going to have to give up All this bad economic data is going to sink in It is not the weather The market still has to adjust for the reality that the economy is really weak The Fed will not admit that QE didn't work, so in the face of recession they will have to do it again

We asked him some questions to get a good idea of what's going on in the lending world. Here's what he shared with us:What are rates today and what can we expect in the future?If we're talking about conventional interest rates, they are hovering around 4.5%, give or take about .25%. However, a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage can be obtained for under 4%! Be aware that these rates are very sensitive to credit scores and down payments. FHA and VA loans, on the other hand, are around 4% and sometimes even lower.Are those rates as good as they were a few years ago?Almost. Last year, we saw interest rates rise when the Federal Reserve announced plans to stop the QE3 stimulus program. However, rates have slowly been coming back down, so they're slightly more favorable than they were after that initial increase.What are rates going to look like in 2015?What's going to happen next is an increase in short-term rates, but people are still waiting on the Fed to announce when that will be. The stimulus consisted of the Federal Reserve buying mortgage-backed securities and US treasuries in the secondary market. The plan was to stimulate the economy by flooding it with money. At some point, they will start to raise the short-term rates, which will then trigger a rise in long-term rates. Everyone is worried that will happen soon, but the Fed doesn't seem ready to let us know exactly when that will happen.When rates go up, how does that affect a buyer's monthly payments?When interest rates go up, monthly payments go up. People aren't always aware that lenders are qualifying people to buy at their absolute debt ratio. If rates go up from there, we don't have room to let the payment increase. In cases like that, we have to back the price down on the home. For example, for a $300,000 purchase with a 4% FHA rate, if rates go up .5%, the payment on that house will increase by $85 a month. If this happens, a buyer may no longer qualify for the loan they need to purchase the home they want. For that example, the buyer would only be eligible to purchase for $285,000.If you're waiting for home prices to decrease, but rates go up, are you doing yourself any good?Not really. If you decide not to buy a house today because you think it will be cheaper tomorrow, you may not be saving yourself any money if rates go up. In fact, you may end up spending more when home prices go down because the rise in rates have more than made up the difference. Our advice is, if you find the right home, buy it today while rates are low.It's nice to bring in an expert every once in awhile to give us a full picture of a sometimes confusing topic.

CW 283: The Financial Health of America's Social Classes with Dr. H. Woody Brock Author of ‘American Gridlock'

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 26, 2012

Between 1980 and 2000, the wealth of our nation grew enormously. Interest rates dropped, dot com businesses grew, and then the housing market was rocketing. We then went into a tricky period where overall net worth grew a bit until the dot com crash; the middle class was sustained to some degree by the housing boom, and then dropped sharply with the housing crash. Dr. H. Woody Brock, President and Founder of Strategic Economic Decisions and author of American Gridlock, joins Jason Hartman for an in-depth explanation of the financial health of our nation across social classes. Dr. Brock discusses the nation overall and then breaks it down into the rich, the middle class, and the poor. The distribution of wealth have left the poor worse off and the rich very well off, as well as shrinking the middle class, but as Dr. Brock explains, looking at the distribution of consumption, the poor and middle classes are in a better position than when looking at the distribution of income. Dr. Brock also expounds on QE3, the Federal Reserve actions, bank reserves, de-leveraging, and more. He wraps up on the subject of his book, American Gridlock: Why the Right and Left are Both Wrong.Founder of Strategic Economic Decisions (SED), Inc., Dr. Horace “Woody” Brock specializes in applications of the modern Economics of Uncertainty (originally developed and championed by Kenneth J. Arrow of Stanford University) to forecasting and risk assessment in the international economy and its asset markets. Holder of five academic degrees, Dr. Brock earned his B.A., M.B.A., and M.S. (mathematics) from Harvard University, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Princeton University (mathematical economics and political philosophy). He was elected an Andrew Mellon Foundation Bicentennial Fellow of the Aspen Institute in 1976. Dr. Brock studied under Kenneth J. Arrow, Professor of Economics, and John C. Harsanyi, Professor of Economics, University of California, Berkeley, both winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics. Dr. Brock founded SED in 1985, and in doing so was sponsored by Fidelity, GE Capital, IBM Pension Fund, and twenty other institutions looking for a much deeper level of analysis of interest rates and the economy. In its research, SED has focused on apprehending ongoing structural changes in the economy and markets to help clients avoid the pitfalls of illegitimately extrapolating the past into the future. In this regard, Dr. Brock has worked closely with Professor Mordecai Kurz of Stanford University in developing the new theory of Rational Beliefs that is now replacing the classical theory of “Efficient Markets”. This new theory explains for the first time the way in which history rhymes but does not repeat itself.
