I haven’t shown the following chart since last winter when it appeared the Dow Jones was working on a Head & Shoulder top; hence the three half circles over the 2000, 2007 and our current 2013 advance. With the Dow Jones now approaching 16000, it’s clear the...

We had an interesting week which really began to get interesting after the Federal Reserve said Wednesday (Sept 18) they would not be tapering their bond buying as many had expected. Gold rocketed just before the news and continued to move sharply higher before...

The proverbial handwriting has been on the wall for quite some time. Lying Ben Bernocchio just sealed the fate of the already doomed fiat Federal Reserve Note, aka the “dollar,” along with the financial well-being of most unsuspecting Americans who will be...

The surprise “no tapering” decision of the Fed basically means that the economy is not growing whilst Pimco’s Gross believes it is a handoff to Yellen. If Gross is right you have to wonder what is more important the economy or Yellen! Anyway if is Yellen she will...

Gold and precious metal equities are giving sell signals in all periods.

Just two short days ago the Fed told us the economic data did not justify tapering their monthly bond purchases. The stock market jumped higher. Less than 48 hours later,

The Federal Reserve shocked the financial world this week, defying universal expectations. It failed to start reducing the pace of its third quantitative-easing campaign’s debt monetizations, delaying the long-anticipated QE3 taper indefinitely. This surprise...

According to Reuters, gold is often seen as an inflation hedge (while it is really a system hedge in our opinion) and this safe-haven investment, has fallen nearly 20% this year on fears of an end to easy central bank money, which had propelled it to record highs in...

After years of paying attention to the price action and not the mainstream market commentary. — Thanks in large part to Ted Butler and GATA — here are some of the dominate forces that currently seem to be determining price movements in the precious metals:

In this Part VI, we look at The End. At the beginning of Part I, I noted in passing that we now have a positive feedback loop that is causing us to spiral into the black hole of zero interest. In astrophysics, the theory says that a black hole is a singularity with...

Having allowed a couple of days for the tidal wave of mainstream, post-“tapering” nonsense to subside; it’s now time to look at the facts, as once again The Boy Who Cried Exit Strategy got in front of microphones to say “just kidding.”

The U.S. stock market is near all-time highs, while politicians and economists are blathering about recovery, low inflation, and good times, but instability and danger are clearly visible in our debt based monetary system. To the extent we rely upon the fantasies of...

Ben S. Bernanke reinforced his standing as the most activist Federal Reserve chairman in history by doing the unexpected: nothing. Wednesday before the markets opened and several hours before the Fed dropped the “no-taper” bomb on the investing public, we penned the...

Difference between India & China. While both nations have been touted as the fasted growing nations in Asia, there are stark differences between the two nations that are coming to the fore now. The first is that in China, the population has a fear of gov’t and...

That was a huge announcement by the Fed yesterday (18th) to keep monetary policy the same and the effect on the markets was immediate and dramatic. To say that this announcement was gold friendly would have to be one of the understatements of the year. Gold soared...

WORLD stock markets, foreign currencies and commodities extended yesterday's jump versus the US Dollar in Asia and London on Thursday morning, with gold regaining the $1370 level it leapt to after the Federal Reserve voted not to trim its quantitative easing program...

Today’s (09/18/13) price action gave us a very important clue that a major shift is brewing in regards to the precious metals complex and most likely commodities as well. These kinds of days don’t come around very often but when you see such a massive move during...

The Fed's failure today to announce some sort of tapering of its QE program, despite the consensus of an overwhelming percentage of economists who expected action, once again reveals the degree to which mainstream analysts have overestimated the strength of our...

Why are the markets so excited that the smartest guy in the room takes his name out of the running for the (second?) most powerful job in the world? With Larry Summers no longer holding back the markets, what’s next for the dollar, currencies and gold?

Today, gold in the global market extended losses into a third session and dropped below $1,300 an ounce, with investors expecting the U.S. Federal Reserve to announce a reduction in its bullion-friendly stimulus measures.

The Bullish Trifecta Fed Statement. Reduce monthly bond purchases by $10B. Future tapering decisions will be data dependent. Pledge to keep interest rates low for an extended period.

Some commentators such as Mohamed El-Erian, the chief executive officer of Pacific Investment Management (PIMCO), are of the view that the Federal Reserve’s policy of massive asset purchases has added very little to economic growth. A study published by the Federal...

Tomorrow, outgoing Federal Reserve Chairman B.S. Bernanke will do one of two things (while his “friends and supporters” continue to sharpen their knives). He will either (formally/finally) announce the absurdly-hyped “tapering” he has promised; or he will back-down...
