Do you want to know what is really going on, start reading/watching the financial media.

Bloomberg, CNBC, WSJ, Financial Times, etc.

For a news junkie reading/watching gathering news has to developed. One needs to gloss over the number crunching and pick out the theme of what direction the world is going in.
