  • Lawrence Kudlow: Falling gold prices are a good thing

    Lawrence Kudlow

    Published: Wed, Apr 17, 2013

    In the last two days, gold has plunged so deep that it's being called the worst drop -- at least in percentage terms -- in 30 years. That brings us back to the early Ronald Reagan period, when falling gold was regarded as a good thing. Back then, lower gold showed inflation coming down after...

  • Is Bernanke right after all?

    Lawrence Kudlow

    Published: Fri, Mar 22, 2013

    The most important point in Ben Bernanke's Wednesday press conference was the announcement that the Fed will adjust the amount of monthly bond purchases according to economic conditions.

    Updated: Mon, Mar 4, 2013

    President Obama may be backing away from his doomsday spending-cut predictions as the sequester goes into place. But the new party line is that while there will be no impact in the first few days, there'll be a slow, downward slump after that. What, are we to believe that lower spending and...

That deflation will sink...

Namely, housing investment in the fourth quarter jumped 15.3 percent annually, business equipment and...

  • Lawrence Kudlow: Obama's declaration of collectivism

    Lawrence Kudlow

    Updated: Fri, Jan 25, 2013

    One of the least remarked upon aspects of President Obama's inaugural speech was his attempt to co-opt the Founding Fathers' Declaration of Independence to bolster his liberal-left agenda. Sure, the president quoted one of the most important sentences in world history: "We hold these truths to...

  • Stock markets calm ahead of fiscal cliff

    Lawrence Kudlow

    Published: Wed, Dec 12, 2012

    Despite all the media hullabaloo about the fiscal cliff and a potential recession if none of the Bush tax cuts are extended, stock markets have behaved calmly throughout this whole period. I'm going to guess that stocks, in their wisdom, are correctly sniffing that there will be no calamitous...
