Gary Wagner, the editor of TheGoldForecast.com, joins the show, and we discuss the current trends in gold and silver and their implications for investors and the global economy.

They don’t ring a bell at the top, as the saying goes, but it’s hard to see how Mr. Market can avoid it this time. The stock market’s heedless, nutty short squeeze since October will end when Microsoft hits $430, probably early in the new year. It’s that simple.

What a difference two weeks can make in the market!  Not all that long ago, I was trashing the old-tired bulls on Wall Street for not having what it took to have the Dow Jones close in scoring position (BEVs from -0.01% to -4.99%).  I take a week off, and in my next...

U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D) recently released the “Special Report on Greedflation.” This publication attempts to explain high inflation by an appeal to corporate greed, and it further proposes policies on how to deal with greed. As one could imagine, this report is...

Gold is on the cusp of making a new all-time high while Silver challenges resistance at $25-$26. We discuss the key weekly resistance levels as well as the monthly resistance levels.
