What a difference a year (and an extra $245 an ounce) makes… At this time in 2015, with the price of gold nosing below $1,100, mining companies were in the last stages of the “Great Dividend Cut.” Any free cash flow that a firm once had to pay a substantial dividend...
The futures blew past the 1346.10 target with ease, implying that an ABC pattern of greater magnitude, with a correspondingly higher target, is driving this rally. The one shown projects to 1430.80, about 5.6% above current levels. The futures tripped a theoretical...

Ireland remains especially exposed to another financial shock because of the extremely high levels of public and private debt, the open nature of the economy and Brexit. Irish Central Bank Governor Philip Lane has warned in a pre-budget letter to Minister for...
