In previous articles, we examined gold's performance in the presidential election cycles. The only relatively reliable conclusion we were able to draw from the long-term analysis is that the post-election year is the worst for the price of gold in the whole cycle....

Gold surged sharply this week after the Yellen Fed yet again chickened out on raising its benchmark interest rate. Gold-futures speculators’ irrational fear of Fed rate hikes has been a major drag on gold. And rate-hike risks just plummeted in the coming months,...

Before I discovered the junior PM stocks in 2002, the big cap tech stocks is where I played especially during the 1990’s. The real move for the tech stock actually began in 1995 where the final parabolic move started into the 2000 top.

“There remains a risk of deflationary spirals in which capital flight, currency devaluations and collapsing asset prices would stymie growth and shrink government revenues. As capital begins to flow out, there is now a real danger of entering a third phase of the...

From the 1637 Tulip Bubble to the financial meltdown of 2008, the theme has been the same. The masses never learn, they always cry foul on the way down…but gurgle with joy on the way up. In other words, when they are making money, they are okay with the risk, but...

Arguments about sound and unsound money often degenerate into a ‘them-and-us’ dispute, with the supporters of unsound money casting sound money proponents as impractical out-of-date libertarian weirdos. Supporting one side or the other as if they were opposing...

Trump or Clinton are “positive for gold” and prices could rise to between $1,700 and $1,900 per ounce by year end according to Canadian gold mining magnate Rob McEwen. Gold “is a currency that doesn’t have a liability attached to it,” McEwen said Tuesday in an...

All Said and done, confidence in central banking's confidence game remains the prime mover of gold prices, writes Adrian Ash at BullionVault. Because as the New York Times put it in 1999, with no shred of irony or historical awareness, who needs gold when you've got...

I have a core position in Miners that I started early in 2016. As a trader, I have sold most of my shorter term trading positions and I am waiting for the fat pitch to reload. Are we there or is there further selling likely? I believe that we are very close to...

Yes, you heard me right. The miners are setting up in a pattern which can see them double within the next nine months. So, let me explain. But, before I get into that explanation, I want to preface this write up by saying that I put a lot of thought into where I...

The world is about 24 hours away from key BOJ and Fed meetings that could create a sea change in global markets. Strong handed gold investors don’t appear to be worried about the BOJ and Fed meetings, and with good reason; a rate hike from the Fed would create panic...

I have been advised many, many times that I would suffer a lot less seething hostility from co-workers, neighbors and family members (including the one, not mentioning any names, that promised to love, honor, ‘til death do us part with this ring I thee wed blah blah...

We are well along in the precious metals correction…and have downside targets for gold, silver and the miners. In order for that to be a ‘buy’, the sector and macro fundamentals will need to be in order. Some of those are represented by the gold ratio charts vs....

Gold, silver, and their stocks will either rally considerably, or incredibly, depending upon central bank insanity, more QE, helicopter money, accidents, and currency devaluations. Remember, Argentina hyperinflated over one trillion to one, compared to the US dollar...

Central banks have got the economy and markets covered. They know what they’re doing. Their theories are backed up by decades of academic research and expert advice.

Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren recently rattled markets when he warned that low-interest rates were increasing the temperature of the US economy, which now runs the risk of overheating. That sunny opinion was echoed by several other Federal Reserve officials...

Harvard professor and economist Ken Rogoff is once again leading the chorus of high-level academics and officials who declare cash is only for criminals. He made his case in a recent Wall Street Journal editorial called the “Sinister Side of Cash.” The solution, he...

The consumer price index (CPI), a measure of inflation, came in hotter than expected Friday, registering 2.3 percent year-over-year in August on expectations of 2.0 percent. With the five-year Treasury yielding 1.19 percent, government bond investors are now...

The Fascist Business Model incorporates all the worse elements of Keynesian economics, a broken fallacious school of thought. The model also integrates a vast system of economic heresy, put forth as public address dogma. All their messages are wrong. They are...

The purpose of this update is to point out that the PM sector correction may be completing RIGHT NOW, with sector indices at the 2nd low of a potential Double Bottom. Whether it is or not depends on the outcome of next week’s Fed meeting – if they announce a rate...

The best-performing precious metal for the week was palladium, down slightly by 0.41 percent. In an overall down week for the precious metals sector, palladium remained flattish. Following the release of disappointing U.S. economic data Friday morning, which reduces...

The short-term technical picture is a mixture of positives and negatives. We must wait for a clearer indication of the market’s intention - and this should come over the next few days.

My long-term projection to the $2150 level is still operative. However, the short and intermediate-term look decidedly grim. Unfortunately, gold will track up or down depending more on world politics than any fundamental considerations. Trying to predict what’s...
