China Wages a War on the US Dollar
Common sense suggests that imposing US tariffs on Chinese goods is convincing Beijing to move faster with its strategy for destroying the US dollar. This acceleration is inevitable. In just over a decade from now China's economy will double that of the US. American options are limited: Could it let China lead and bear the responsibility and cost associated with managing global affairs? What will it mean to your wallet, your investments, future economic outlooks, and your psychological...
Geopolitics Impacts Oil Prices and Your Wallet
Why is the US not extracting more of its own oil reserves? The answer is Saudi Arabia. The Saudi monarchy continues to undermine US Shale oil industry. Oil production in the US exceeding 1 Mb/d in annualized terms is possible and would change the energy global balance of power. It also would have a great economic impact on your wallet in the future. In a clear and straight forward way, I address how this topic and its significance could have a major impact on your future economic...
US Leadership in the Mideast is long-gone
Inevitable Death of US Dollar: A New Global Economic Order
Recently, China requested that some trading partners use the Yuan currency instead of US dollars for oil/business transactions. Venezuela launched a bitcoin-like cryptocurrency as form of payment for oil. And Russia has ramped up its gold reserve. Is the Bretton Woods Treaty, established by the US and other countries at the end of WWII, dead? Is it the beginning of the end for the US dollar? America spends far beyond what it needs: Is the increase in defense spending at the expense of...
Iran's nuclear deal: Winners and losers
I bet you're one of many Americans who noticed recently an increase in gas prices. Don't thank or blame Saudis entirely for the sudden rise of oil prices. Or OPEC's recent cut in production. Rather, you need to realize the impact of geopolitics on the energy market - and your wallet. Since the US withdrew from the Iranian nuclear agreement the oil and stock markets are uncertain and volatile. I advise investors-and you, for that matter-to closely monitor the dynamic and evolving global...
How Artificial Intelligence will Impact Your Business?
Conversations abound regarding the future of AI. Some argue that China is taking the lead. Others say US companies, academia, and the military are. If a tech company competes and takes a successful lead in AI development and innovation it will likely be worth ten times the value of Microsoft, Facebook, and Google. Will this company be American, Chinese, or some other? What we should expect is that besides military and business applications, AI will have tremendous impact on your daily...
What Will the US be Without Immigration?
The formal name of the Statue of Liberty, which has greeted visitors sailing into New York harbor since 1886, is "Liberty Enlightening the World." Many generations of immigrants built America. Unfortunately, the debate over immigrants' role in our nation has grown increasingly heated and polarized. Should this trend persist, talented immigrants will go elsewhere (Canada, Germany, and even China). Result: the US will lose valuable human resources. The benefits immigrants bring to our...

Yemen: A Showcase for Human Ugliness and Greed
So is this what America now amounts to? Greed?
Padding US Coffers on the Faraway Miseries of Others
Undoubtedly, military conflicts are money machines for defense and weapons industries. Conflicts can also be a dilemma for a society that is funding and pushing for more conflicts. Look no further than what's taking place in Yemen with continued U.S. support in intelligence and weapons/ammunition sales for the Saudi-Emirati campaign of destruction against Yemeni civilians. It raises questions about America's moral standing in the world.
So is this what America now amounts to?...
