For banks, the recent news is pretty grim. But it's about to get much worse, based on the following: Yield Curve Flattens: Now 10-Year Yields Just 1% More than 2-Year

The markets have finally cracked and things are about to become a lot more interesting. Today, the price of gold surged more than $60 and silver $0.60 as the markets crumbled. Even though the markets recovered after some TWO-BIT announcement by OPEC stating that...

Critics of technical analysis often mistakenly believe that using charts discounts the importance of fundamental data, such as earnings, employment, and economic growth. Charts allow investors to monitor the aggregate investor interpretation of all the fundamental...

Investment guru Harry Dent has made quite a few predictions since his start in the 1980’s. He has certainly been correct a few times and had to backtrack several other times. In early 2013, he predicted a financial crash will begin between the end of 2013 and the...

It has something to do with Yellen’s not dovish enough Congressional testimony. It has something to do with global financial system problems associated with low interest rates. It also has something to do with emerging countries at the doorstep of penury. And...

The global Central Banks have declared War on Cash. Historically, one of the safest things to do when the markets begin to collapse is to move a significant portion of your holdings to cash. As the old adage says, during times of deflation, “cash is king.”

Gold prices peaked at $1,900 per ounce in September 2011. It was the end of a spectacular, decade-long bull market, during which the precious metal’s value increased a phenomenal 645 percent.

Gold has surged over 3% today on increased safe haven demand as stocks and in particular bank stocks see sharp falls. German shares have nose-dived again and German colossus Deutsche Bank has fallen over 8%.

There is a conflation of three related events that materially alter the prospects in favour of a higher gold price. The change in the outlook for US interest rates has probably put an end to the dollar’s four-year bull run, it is clear that there is a growing...

On the heels of last week’s sharp recovery, the Japanese yen has continued to climb out of the broad base carved over the past year, making fresh 14 month highs and leading the currency charge against the US dollar. Worth noting, Monday's close marked the first...

If a stock has "bottomed out", it means it might have reached its low point and could be in the early stages of an upward trend. Investors usually see a bottom as an opportunity to purchase securities when they are potentially underpriced…The bottom is used in...

If you held LinkedIn in your portfolio, you have lost more than 43% of your investment within a single day, and it is most likely to decline even further. In the current situation of flux, it is difficult to find an asset class where you can safely deposit your...

"The Fed doesn't have a clue!" - I allege that not only because the Fed appears to admit as much (more on that in a bit), but also because my own analysis leads to no other conclusion. With Fed communication in what we believe is disarray, we expect the market to...

The stock market, the US dollar and gold are all undergoing important changes in trend that will impact millions of investors around the globe for the next several months to years. Sadly, a large percentage of investors are completely oblivious to this fact. Many...

In one of his starkest warnings yet, Former White House Budget Director (Office of Management and Budget, OMB), David Stockman has warned that banks and the global financial system remain vulnerable and there is likely to be another global financial crisis which...

An exclusive Interview with First Majestic CEO Keith Neumeyer on Metals, Mining, and Manipulation.

Back in 2011, the market was eagerly waiting for gold to exceed the $2,000 level. Everyone viewed it as a certainty at the time. Yet, we suggested that it was time to sell once we struck the $1,915 level, with the market topping out only $6 higher.

After my last article we received two logical questions from readers. The first one pertaining to "gaps" and the Deutsche Bank derivative exposure; the second pertaining to Japan's strong currency with negative yields while the debt to GDP levels are astronomical...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and this chart is probably worth a lot more. It illustrates how the BLS has been lying through its teeth over the past seven years. Then again anyone with a grain of common sense could figure out that the retarded...

Only a couple of weeks ago, I said we were entering the jaws of the Epocalypse. Now we are sliding rapidly down the great beast’s throat toward its cavernous belly. The biggest economic collapse the world has ever seen is consuming everything — all commodities, all...

Precious metals have risen sharply in recent days as investors looked for alternatives to the stock market and US dollar. Both gold and silver pushed through important technical resistance levels. Metals bulls hope to see markets enter a virtuous cycle; improving...

In the overnight session Gold dropped to 1186.10 before recovering to 1197.70. On the Intraday Chart the drop from 1201.20 to 1186.10 looks corrective. Therefore, we expect that once this correction ends, if it has not already done so at the 1186.10 low, gold might...

Gold has stunned most of the world’s analysts with a major rally after Janet Yellen hiked rates. The citizens of China also appear to have greatly increased their buying. In the past few days, instead of waning, this rally has relentlessly intensified. Some gold...

Gold surged another 1.5% higher yesterday, and had its best closing level since mid-June as strong physical demand and concerns about the global economy, the banking sector and the risks of a new global financial crisis saw further gains.

Gold has been on a roll these past few weeks as it has rocketed from the lows of $1046 on December 3rd to a high of $1200 this past day. That is an advance of 17% and doubtless many are wondering if this is the start of a new multi-year bull market for gold (and by...

A topic written about before, "GAPS". This is no acronym, simply a description of what is going to happen, probably quite soon! If you don't know what a gap is now, you will know it when you see it! In technical terms, a "gap" opening is when a market opens...

For decades now, China has been the leading driver of global growth, consuming unfathomable amounts of raw materials and commodities. Today, the Asian giant is undergoing dramatic changes, as its government deepens reforms and opens the country’s economy up to...

A picture is worth 4-plus years and thousands of words, and the picture below has a lot to say. I’ll say some words as well, since I have kept them bottled up for years in an effort to make sure we operate with discipline as opposed to gold bug style emotion.

The most common question I hear is "when". When does the system collapse? When will we experience a re-set? I think this is a very odd question. Odd because if you stand back far enough you should be able to see "you are watching it"! We are all so close and...

Almost every other day I read an article telling me that owning Gold is dumb or that Gold is doomed as an investment. These articles would be useful or insightful if they weren’t based on “analysis” that is either misleading or downright wrong.
