		<description><![CDATA[We are in the midst of earnings season and beyond the handful of companies with economic moats, there is little evidence to support Wall Street&#8217;s view that economic recovery is underway. The dichotomy between the financial world and the real world was one of the main culprits which led to the crisis of 2008. Unfortunately, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, Peter Schiff is not Japanese. The strategist predicting the dollar&#8217;s imminent demise is Daisuke Uno, who works at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. You can find details at Bloomberg but Uno is basing his prediction on Elliot Wave theory and claims this next move down in the dollar is the culmination of the super-cycle that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The dirty little secret of the George W. Bush&#8217;s post-9/11 economic recovery was that most Americans missed out.
