The prices of gold, platinum and silver are important – as they communicate valuable insights. Consider the price of monthly gold for the past 20 years – log scale below.

While investors have been focused on the perennial failed hope for a second half economic recovery, they have been missing the most salient point: the US most likely entered into a recession at the end of last quarter.

The precious metals complex looks toppy here…and a pull-back is warranted into the end of July (see chart below for added information). The stock market is in a critical zone. The 4 TD low is overdue by 1 TD and the 8 TD low is due on July 8th. The 16 TD low is...

By now you've read about the "Brexit" and why it was or was not a good idea. A presidential contender found himself in the middle of further discussion when discussing his golf property and how the Pound's demise might help his fortune. This is not what this article...

The banksters, by manipulating the price of gold and artificially creating a bear market, have created what will likely turn out to be one of the greatest opportunities ever seen. I’ve maintained all along this was their goal. To create the most destructive bear...

I want to focus on the composition of China’s foreign reserves, explain why the liquid portion of the reserves may be much smaller than widely believed, and how that situation is bearish for RMB and bullish for gold.

322% gain this year, so far. THAT’s “penny” performance but real dollar profits. Will it continue? Well, that’s to be seen. In the last couple of weeks the gold stock action has actually been in the “quality” stocks and that does not necessarily bode well for...

The rapid Brexit-induced 120-point decline was short-lived, giving way to a four-day rally which retraced it almost completely. By Friday, the rally started to show signs of exhaustion as it filled a base projection to the 2106-2112 level. It is possible that SPX...

I have heard for years that gold trades inversely to the US Dollar. It is a maxim which is universally accepted. However, this expectation has been turned on its head of late, and not many are discussing this in the open. It’s almost like it is taboo to speak...

The more wobbly becomes the world, the more warranted becomes the ownership of Precious Metals. Dare we say: "Stop the World – I Want to Get Off" --(Bricusse/Newley, '61)...whilst taking along both Gold and Silver. Indeed Sister Silver, come flee with me! For in...

What does “real money” mean to you? To many of my readers, I suspect real money would be gold and silver coinage backing the paper money in circulation. But to politicians and economists, it means something completely different:

The focus this week will be on the charts as much of the Western world remains embroiled in events that become harder and harder to cover up explain. The elites and their central banker’s curtain continues to be pulled back for all to see, yet the vast majority of...

Gold broke-out last week on Brexit, while Silver waited a week to join the party. The miners, meanwhile cleared 2014 resistance last Friday. To be sure there are breakouts across the board in the precious metals space.

Some 30 – 60 Central Bankers met in Basel, Switzerland last weekend (June 25-26) to coordinate policies after the BREXIT vote. Yes, our global markets are now controlled, monitored, and rigged by these global CENTRAL planners (operating behind closed doors). Today,...

Gold sector is on a new major buy signal. Investors can cost average in at the next cycle bottom. Silver is on a long-term buy signal. Short-term is on buy signal. However, silver is vulnerable to a multi-week correction which is long overdue.

Brexit could trigger a $500 trillion derivatives meltdown, by forcing the EU to allow insolvent member governments and banks to write down debt. Italy is in financial crisis and is already petitioning for that concession. How to avoid collapse of the massive...

In the run up to the referendum, much was said about the absolute horrors that would descend on the world should the Brits be so callous as to depart from their association with their European friends and erstwhile enemies…and consequently leave them to stew in an...

In the World Gold Council's Gold Investor magazine, Jiao Jinpu, Chairman of the Shanghai Gold Exchange, reports that "In its first month, the Shanghai Gold Benchmark Price’s trading volume was 105.91 metric tons of gold kilo bars, corresponding to a turnover of [...

Just behind the podium of precious metals (occupied by gold, silver and platinum) is palladium - an important, but often overlooked investment commodity. Like in case of silver and platinum, the gold-to-palladium ratio indicates the current state of the precious...

To truly appreciate market crashes, you must have an ample serving of grey hair. Over the weekend, I must have received three dozen "Emergency Email Alert" notifications by newsletter services and financial intermediaries that got absolutely obliterated Friday...

Global Financial Assets are more inflated and propped up than ever. According to the most recent figures published by The City UK Fund Report, total Global Conventional Assets under management topped $105 trillion in 2014. That’s one hell of a lot of future PAPER...

When David Cameron decided to let the British people vote on Brexit, he did not realise that he would open a real can of worms. Before the referendum I declared that Brexit would not be the reason for a collapse of the world economy but that it could be the catalyst...

One of the primary keys to success in investment and speculation is picking the right stocks to trade. That’s no mean feat, as it takes great effort, expertise, and time to winnow the whole field down to the likely winners with the best fundamentals. Gold stocks’...

Gold is currently trading in excess of $1300 an ounce. This is well above the 1980 all-time high. However, this is an incomplete representation of what gold is trading at relative to US dollars. When you look at the gold price relative to US currency in existence (...

In an interview with CNBC on June 28, Marc Faber cited as evidence the strong performance of Treasury bonds, saying "over the last 12 months US long-term Treasuries are up 20%; and they are up 15% year to date."

We have reached a point where these Central Bankers can move markets at will, merely by uttering the magic words. ” PRESTO – CHANGO; ABRACADABRA! The Central Banks have plenty of tools at their disposal to combat those things which might hamper growth prospects or...

Several noted economists and distinguished investors are warning of a stock market crash. Billionaire Carl Icahn, for example, recently raised a red flag on a national broadcast when he declared, “The public is walking into a trap again as they did in 2007.” And the...

In my view, this new bout of turmoil in financial markets is the prelude to the final demise of government currency. If I’m right, a long expected collapse in the purchasing-power, and of the very concept of fiat currency, will evolve from current events. The...

Yes, it’s another inflation post going up even as inflation expectations are in the dumper and casino patrons just cannot get enough of Treasury and Government bonds yielding 0%, near 0% and below 0%.

In recent past, I have cited the CFTC COT (Commitment of Traders) report’s record open interest by large specs and record short open interest by commercials as a possible negative for Gold prices. Never one to trust myself, I decided to dig deeper to find out if my...
