Central Banks have FINALLY created inflation. Starting in late 2016, Central Banks began actively rigging the stock market via a number of games. They are: Slamming the VIX lower to force risk-parity funds to buy stocks. Selling the Japanese Yen and buying $USD to...

We have covered many reasons why bitcoin is unsound and not money. It’s a ledger of unbacked liabilities. It is designed to have finite quantity but therefore indeterminate and hence volatile value. This makes it unusable for borrowing or lending and hence savings,...

I'm 33 now, and I've been investing in stocks since I was 16 years old. In that time, I presume that about 12 out of every 20 people I've spoken to about investments have quit the equities world. Three of them still invest using small amounts due to fear and always...

Vladimir Putin is doing his part to keep the upswing in gold alive. Since the Russian president went on a geopolitical offensive in Ukraine in 2014, the haven asset had its first annual gain in four years in 2016 and is on track for another in 2017.

Jim Rickards is on record forecasting $10,000 gold. But is China about to provide the catalyst to send gold even higher? And by how much? Today, we fare forth in the spirit of speculation… follow facts down strange roads… and arrive at a destination stranger still...

There are clear supply pressures coming to the gold market, so the last thing it needed was a new source of demand. But that’s exactly what it’s about to get, and as you’ll see, it could potentially push supply into a strained predicament. If this new development...
