I’m becoming increasingly concerned by emails that I’m receiving from amateur investors. These emails tout a fabulous future for the American stock market. Many stock buybacks have occurred, but actual earnings growth for American companies is highly questionable...

On Monday, former Fed official Andrew Huszar publicly apologized to the American public for his seminal role in executing the Quantitative Easing (QE) program, a program he characterizes as “the greatest backdoor Wall Street bailout of all time,” and “the largest...

According to the popular way of thinking, bubbles are an important cause of economic recessions. The main question posed by experts is how one knows when a bubble is forming. It is held that if the central bankers knew the answer to this question they might be able...

As Marc Faber put it: "Gold is bottoming out here. We have a lot of bearish sentiment and a lot of bearish commentaries about gold, but the fact is that...prices are probably in the process of bottoming out here".

WHOLESALE QUOTES for gold bounced from 1-week lows beneath $1270 per ounce Tuesday morning in London, turning higher as Asian and European stock markets failed to extend Monday's rise to new all-time highs in US equities.

I recognise that I’m sticking my neck out here, but this post will be short and to the point. It seems to me that, barring significant Fed intervention, the US equity market probably peaked today. Please take the time to read my “Author Comments” that follow the...

A couple weeks ago I posted these same charts talking about the pending breakout (in either direction) with silver, gold and mining stocks. Fast forwarding to this week its clear this sector continues its struggle to rally. Key support levels are now being tested...

Market mavens have increasingly turned their talk to a possible “melt-up” scenario in the stock market. The big fear entering 2014 is that another runaway freight train-type stock market, like the one preceding the 2008 crash, is gathering momentum. The latest...

Well, it’s official, the economic talking head establishment has declared war on Germany. The opening shots in this battle were fired by none other than the United States Treasury Department, which had the audacity to blame Germany for a weak Eurozone recovery in...

Economics is an ironic science (if it is science at all by physicists’ standards). One can be perfectly correct about various phenomena in general, but offer completely wrong predictions in detail. Nevertheless offering correct predictions is still a significant...

LONDON prices for gold reflected subdued dealing Monday morning, slipping 0.9% to $1279 by lunchtime as silver and other commodities also dropped but major government bond price edged higher.

Since September 2011 gold, silver and precious metal equities (i.e. HUI Index) have been correcting after a 10-year bull run that started in early 2001. Since their 2011 peaks, gold has fallen 33%, silver is down 57%, while the HUI Index has plummeted a whopping 60...

Without a doubt, monetary inflation (Blue Plot / Rising CinC) has outperformed both blue chip and gold mining shares since 1920. Unfortunately, benefitting from rising CinC is the preserve of Washington and Wall Street, not people like you or me. To my mind, to be...

What if you had someone, or something, to act as a reliable advisor telling you what to buy and when, and also how to manage your risks? Would you pay attention? Who would say “No” to such a proposition? Yet, almost everyone does ignore the source. Instead,...

Despite a string of new all-time highs, many investors are sitting out what has been one of the most impressive stock market rallies in years. A “buyer’s strike” has materialized this year in which value-oriented investors have deemed the market to be too expensive...

Current investing model favors equities and both the growth and energy sector are on major buy signals. Investors should wait for corrections in the markets to enter or re-balance their portfolios. However, there has not been a multi week correction in the major...

Long term – on major sell signal since Mar 2012. Short term – on sell signals. Gold sector cycle – down as of 11/08.

We started the week off very slowly but by Wednesday markets and stocks were breaking out higher nicely and we’ve got to follow the markets until they tell us to get out. Many stocks are ripping higher for us which is what I love to see.

There is a decline in the number of reads in our articles that do not provide a fully developed “fundamental” story about why gold and silver should be much higher in price, [but are not]. Relying upon charts to more accurately capture the developing “story” does...

Janet Yellen appeared before the Senate Banking Committee on the approval process, more a production than a process. The veteran economist and banker was given respectful treatment. The good Senators do not wish to be subjected to smear campaigns (see Menendez of...

2013’s incredible stock-market melt-up persisted this week, with the flagship American stock indexes surging to fresh record highs. The euphoric bulls continue to claim today’s lofty stock prices are justified by reasonable valuations. But nothing could be farther...

Zerohedge recently drew attention to the growing level of foreign bank cash deposits, tucked away at the bottom of the Fed's H.8 statement.

The weekly chart of the HUI Gold Bugs index asks a question we have been reviewing inNFTRH for some time now; is the bottoming situation implied by the up-triggered weekly MACD (and confirming TRIX) a ‘W’ bottom in the making that saw its low at 206? Or is it an...

Who wants a strong currency? If that question was for an opinion poll of finance ministers and central bankers, the response would be a firm no one. But in reality, no poll is needed. The last couple of weeks’ action has spoken louder than words.
