Gold is climbing as bond yields rise and the dollar falls, over speculation that China is pulling back on buying US Treasuries and Japan signals it is winding down its quantitative easing program. Meanwhile, US debt continues to grow after the Republicans under...

It is my great privilege now to be joined by James Rickards. Mr. Rickards is Editor of Strategic Intelligence, a monthly newsletter and Director of the James Rickards Project, an inquiry into the complex dynamics of geopolitics and global capital. He's also the...

Here are today's videos and charts.

The world’s leading gold-stock ETF is nearing a major upside breakout from key technical levels. GDX is getting closer to challenging and powering above $25. That would accelerate the sentiment shift in this deeply-undervalued sector back to bullish, enticing...

Gold’s breakneck rally eased this week, but tailwinds in both physical and paper markets suggest it’s got room to run. Chinese New Year buying and option prices suggest the stars are aligning for the metal to extend its 6 percent gain over the past month.

In this space two years ago, I penned an essay discussing how Americans - and other countries that are "dollarized" - where the local currency is either the USD or pegged to it - had a significant advantage when it came to getting the most for their money when...

Within this current fractional reserve and derivative pricing system, it’s sometimes easy to anticipate price rallies and slams by observing The Bullion Banks and their practice of increasing and decreasing the total open interest of contracts on the COMEX.

It’s no secret that Central Banks have been funneling liquidity both directly and indirectly into stocks. However, what most investors don’t realize is that this liquidity pump is about to end. Why?

America itself has become the largest bubble in economic history. The progression of bubbles from equities, to corporate credit, classic cars, Da Vincis to bitcoin, have expanded in scope and risk becoming an insidious process. Today, almost every asset class is up...

The bull market’s blow-off-like trajectory has steepened, if such a thing were imaginable, with Wednesday’s 322-point rally in the Dow. The blue chip average is ostensibly headed to the 27,251 target shown, and although this Hidden Pivot resistance is worth shorting...

30% to 50% price drops in a matter of days and the loss of $300 billion in value is quite a knock for a market that was not meant to be in a speculative bubble. In just 36 hours the cryptocurrency market has managed to make a fair few people feel very nervous as...

At the beginning of every year, we update what’s typically one of our most popular pages, the Periodic Table of Commodity Returns. I encourage you to explore 10 years’ worth of data on basic materials such as aluminum, zinc and everything in between. A word of...

Here’s What Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, Idaho, Etc. Are Doing... In 2017, Arizona, Louisiana, Virginia, Texas, and North Carolina, and even Minnesota made progress on the sound money front. In 2018, other states could do so as well. 36 states have...

You undoubtedly know that 2017 was a record-setting year for the broad stock markets. And while gold was up last year despite numerous headwinds, most mainstream investors aren’t paying much attention to gold since they keep seeing so much green in their stock...

My past two weekend reports have armed the investor with ideas for the coming year 2018.  This week’s report summarizes those ideas, updates the current PM rally and adds more ideas to the list.  It is important to understand the driving force which will fuel the...

‘There is nowhere to go from here’ are the words that ring in your ears after listening to a recent interview on USA Watchdog with former Reagan White House Budget Director David Stockman.

Today the GDXJ is breaking out above its neckline. Again I was looking for a little more chopping action between the neckline and the neckline symmetry line before the breakout, but so far it’s not happening. I’m going to take my second position and buy 150 shares...

Gold and related investments are off to a very positive start in 2018. I don’t expect any major pause in the action until China’s Golden Week holiday celebrations get underway. Chinese gold dealers will be on holiday this year from about February 15 to February 21....

We have been discussing the consumption of capital. Last week, for example, we concluded with: “We see people eating more of the seed corn.”

If officials at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are bothered by allegations of incompetence and capture by Wall Street’s bankers, it is hard to tell. The Commission recently hired Brett Redfearn to serve as Director of the Division of Trading and...

The 91.57 downside target we were using for the dollar looked promising as a place for a powerful bounce to occur. Instead, sellers crushed it on Friday, putting in play a significantly lower target at 88.29 that I would rate as almost certain to be reached. If so,...

Chinese demand for physical gold investment surged in the first three-quarters of 2017 while Americans ditched the shiny yellow metal for increased bets in the crypto mania and stock market bubble market.  Even though China’s Hang Seng Stock Market outperformed the...

The London property bubble slow motion bursting continues with the latest data from property website Rightmove showing house prices in London were down by another 1.4% in January.

SPX is ostensibly approaching a time-price projection; but it could hesitate reaching the final high before having an intermediate reversal, even though it is in sight, unless the move ends in a buying climax which would bring about a sharp correction near-term,...

GoldSilver produced a lot of educational material in 2017. We sincerely hope you find our ongoing educational efforts useful as an investor. Mike prides himself on being the industry leader on education.

Continuing this research, we have focused our current effort on the Transportation Index, the US Majors and the Metals Markets.  The Transportation Index has seen an extensive rally (+19.85%) originating near November 2017.  This incredible upside move correlates...

That was fun. Since mid-December gold has behaved like a tech stock, jumping from $1,240/oz to $1,337 and carrying a long list of gold mining stocks along for the ride.

It doesn’t look like it in the Dow Jones’ Bear’s Eye View (BEV) chart below, but in the past three weeks the venerable Dow has increased 1,100 points (4.39%). Three Fridays ago the Dow Jones closed with a 24K handle. Two weeks later it has almost blown through 25,...

Both Gold and GDX surged to a new high on Friday, shifting the odds towards a right translated Trading Cycle #1 (TC1).  This is not surprising as the first TC of any new Intermediate Cycle never fails by making a lower low.  If it does then then by definition it’s...

"You are listening to WGGW: When Gold Goes Well" ... To state that gold is going well when 'tis trading at half the market value it ought be is a bit of a stretch. In fact, as "bulled up" as gold aficionados appear to be through these first nine trading days of the...
