The world doesn’t realize it yet, but the implosion of the global markets has started and can’t be stopped. While the financial networks continue to focus on the rising U.S. stock market and Dollar, this represents a mindset that has totally gone insane.

Risk is one of my all-time favorite board games. It’s among the very few that’s equal parts strategy and luck, and the stakes can’t get much higher than total world domination. It wasn’t uncommon for games between my friends and me to last for hours, sometimes deep...

The global financial system continues to groan under the strain of the accumulated weight of trillions of dollars of debt and derivatives, which have built up to even more fantastic levels than those that precipitated the near collapse in 2008. And thanks to the...

In my previous article on Gold-Eagle.com I argued that the gold’s bear market may still be in effect and how this idea could have helped us to set up our investing & trading plan. Since the Election Day, gold has come a long way in a short time and there are...

Gold and gold mining stocks were setting up for a rebound until the market suddenly priced in tighter policy from the Federal Reserve. Both nominal and real yields surged and that pushed an already oversold sector below key support.

Well, gold has almost reached my $1100 projected mark, so what’s next? Looking at my long-term point and figure (P&F) chart it looks like the $900 mark is next in line. At the Friday close gold futures were in a free fall, well not really free as someone is...

SPX is consolidating after reaching the lowest of the projections given in the previous letter. It is not clear if the index is already capable of extending its move beyond the 2270 resistance level. The hourly indicators appear ready to push higher, but the daily...

Here are today's videos and charts

Gold was again blasted to new post-election lows this week, further trashing contrarian sentiment. The Fed proved more hawkish than expected in its rate-hike-trajectory forecast, unleashing heavy selling in gold futures. This catapulted gold bearishness back up to...

An 1105.80 downside target has obtained since November 18, when Feb Gold tripped a menacing sell signal just above 1200. On redrawing the chart, however, I find that the target should have been given as 1108.70 with 1086.60 as an alternative if Hidden Pivot support...
