“There remains a risk of deflationary spirals in which capital flight, currency devaluations and collapsing asset prices would stymie growth and shrink government revenues. As capital begins to flow out, there is now a real danger of entering a third phase of the...

From the 1637 Tulip Bubble to the financial meltdown of 2008, the theme has been the same. The masses never learn, they always cry foul on the way down…but gurgle with joy on the way up. In other words, when they are making money, they are okay with the risk, but...

Arguments about sound and unsound money often degenerate into a ‘them-and-us’ dispute, with the supporters of unsound money casting sound money proponents as impractical out-of-date libertarian weirdos. Supporting one side or the other as if they were opposing...

I have a core position in Miners that I started early in 2016. As a trader, I have sold most of my shorter term trading positions and I am waiting for the fat pitch to reload. Are we there or is there further selling likely? I believe that we are very close to...

Yes, you heard me right. The miners are setting up in a pattern which can see them double within the next nine months. So, let me explain. But, before I get into that explanation, I want to preface this write up by saying that I put a lot of thought into where I...

The world is about 24 hours away from key BOJ and Fed meetings that could create a sea change in global markets. Strong handed gold investors don’t appear to be worried about the BOJ and Fed meetings, and with good reason; a rate hike from the Fed would create panic...
