Three Epic Calculated Risk Charts

Job losses in US recessions since WWII:


The 10 year yield since the early 60's:

*Note the inverted H&S there at the very lowest point!

Year over year % change in home prices since the 80's:


I got these from CalculatedRisk which is one of the best sources of timely economic info and charts on the web, as I'm sure most of you already know. Another reason I like CR is the no-BS headlines. You get "'Bad Bank' Plan is Dropped" instead of a vague and misleading "Bad Bank 2.0" on CNBC.

Schiff is off his rocker in the deep end of the pool. There is something disgusting about him telling the Saudis that, oh, Western civilization is going to collapse. As if he wants to be enslaved by the Islamic world? It seems obvious to me why he is telling Saudis to buy gold, because he owns gobs of it.
