In my King World News interview published on July 12, I stated that the Troika and the US will do whatever they can to keep Greece in the EU. To let Greece leave would be the final nail in the European Union coffin. That would start the dominoes of Italy, Spain,...
Gold Editorials & Commentary
July 13, 2015
Gold maintained its rebound from a three-month low on concerns that economic risks in China and Greece will prompt the Federal Reserve to delay raising interest rates. Swiss gold flows counter reports of slackening gold demand. Despite the weak gold price, Swiss...
In the last article "An indication of PPT failure", many readers wrote in and either asked what the various acronyms were or admonished me for using so many without explaining them. I will try in the future to assume the reader does not know what we're talking...
In this Weekend Report I’m going to show you some more of the same precious metals stocks we’ve been following as more are joining the impulse move to the downside adding confirmation. Unlike the US stocks markets that have been trading sideways since the December...
Last week, we concluded with this: “So now, for the first time in about two years, the fundamental price of silver is above the market price, about $0.35 over. Unless you really like to trade the bleeding edge of a signal change, you may not want to jump in here....
Greece continues to dominate the market action. What happens this weekend could shed a little more light on the future short-term trend.
The situation is paradoxical – the charts of just about everything are positioned for a plunge – or a turnaround and limited recovery, which reflects the fact that markets are waiting on some sort of resolution of the standoff with Greece, either Greece walking away...

What started out as typically sluggish summer week quickly morphed into an extremely eventful one. In just the last five days we witnessed the intensification of the Greek debt roller coaster, the bursting of a mini-bubble in Chinese equities, a temporary shutdown...
U.S. Stocks have declined sharply from the first Hindenburg Omen observation on June 10th, which was one day after the most recent Bradley model turn date, which was a major turn date. Interestingly, China’s stock market topped on June 12th, only one day after the...
But, oh gee, what does Gold really have in common with Greece? Both have thwarted the will of their investors, Greece's in a sense being those who voted "No" barely a week ago. 'Course, 'tis the lenders who in effect are the real investors. And Greece in a 180° 11th...
Two months ago I wrote an article on our lackluster market, how the post credit crisis bull was slowing down. Reasonable people understand that the stock market can go down as well as up; so after a six year run that pushed the Dow Jones up 180%, maybe it’s time to...

Stocks are rallying today because of: Hype and hope of a Greek deal. China has stopped trading of 49% of stocks and threatened to arrest anyone who is short-selling the market (talk about a backstop!)
Gold’s weakness is related to the commodity trade at the moment. It is suffering from a combination of the weight of the collapse in energy and metals (and other commodity) prices, a firm dollar that won’t last, and the general absence of expected panic on the Greek...
Between the NYSE computer issues, Greece and the Chinese making up rules as they go, there is just too much risk. Half the battle is saving your powder for the easy money…and it will come. To be sure trying to trade this type of action that sees huge gaps...
All the world is indeed a stage. And what is unfolding is a worsening tragicomedy…and it is under the direction of the elites through their debt enslavement [un]known by the world as fiat currency. The unelected “officials” in the EU are the equivalent of Keystone...
Gold sector is on major sell signal. Cycle is down. Traders should be in cash or short.Silver is on a long term sell signal and investors should be in cash or short. COT data reveals that speculation is close to levels of previous bottoms.

"At present, up to 12 trillion yuan stays in domestic residents' saving accounts. The launch of individual gold investment, therefore, will allow residents to change currency assets into gold assets. At the macro level, it will expand channels for changing savings...
China’s stock bubble has burst, with its stock markets utterly collapsing after rocketing parabolic. The failure of this popular speculative mania has grave implications for the global stock markets. It shatters the universally-believed myth that central banks can...
With the Chinese stock market, known as the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite (SSEC) plunging in recent weeks, I thought I would analyse the technicals to determine where the final low to this bear market is likely to be.
To answer the question “what drives the prices of gold” we have to determine the nature of gold. Its complexity makes it difficult to understand, even for Ben Bernanke, the former chairman of the U.S. central bank.
The precious metals sector is enduring losses for the third straight week. The gold miners and silver have led the way down, though silver has rallied over the past two sessions. Gold has also rallied yet remains dangerously close to making a new weekly low for the...
- Governments move toward ever greater financial repression. - Repression includes suppression of rates, capital controls, outlawing of cash and bail-ins. - Finance ministers discuss cashless society, giving banks total control over public’s money. - Bail-in...

On Wednesday July 8th, the NYSE halted trading for several hours citing a “technical glitch” as the culprit with stocks finally resuming trading one by one later in the day. While on the same day United Airlines grounded planes as they resolved “a network...
Forget about Greece, they didn't matter yesterday as the NYSE shut down for nearly four hours. Greece does matter and certainly will matter in the weeks to come. Before getting to yesterday's very peculiar "glitch", I do want to mention something quite humorous...
Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen may have missed her window of opportunity to raise interest rates. The economic data no longer paint a picture of even a tepid recovery.
Scary. That is the word that kept coming up over and over as the news came in this week. Greece technically defaulted. The Shanghai Composite index dropped some 30%. And then a computer glitch caused the NYSE to be down for three hours. Are these headlines just...
What do we know about how central banks respond to stock market crashes? Typically they lower interest rates and ease monetary conditions in liberal fashion and worry about the inflationary consequences later.
It’s a shame more Chinese investors didn’t get to read our timely warning of an impending mega-smash in the Chinese stockmarket – it would have been worth the cost of a subscription TO AVOID LOSING THEIR LIFE’S SAVINGS.
The world it seems can no longer escape Greece. The newspapers and the internet are abuzz with comments and analysis about Greece. Greece appears poised to continue to dominate the headlines for at least the foreseeable future.
