The idea that gold is being manipulated by the US Government, by central banks and other nefarious creatures has been around as long as I can remember. It was prevalent in the mid-1960s when I first got interested in the markets and it is still prevalent now, some...

My optimism last week that the gold and silver longs would mostly ride through the attack on the metal prices holding onto their positions, perhaps buying even more, was a little too rosy. What surprised me was that while we are used to the waterfall attacks in New...

The Dow Jones Index had a good week. Early on it was at risk of declining below its BEV -5% line in the Bear’s Eye View chart below. That didn’t happen; instead, at the end of the week the Dow closed above its BEV -2.5% line. For a week in the market this isn’t...

The smaller gold-mining and exploration stocks have enjoyed an amazing year, soaring with gold’s new bull market. Many have more than doubled since mid-January, and some have more than tripled at best in that short span. Are such spectacular gains fundamentally-...

Gold is perhaps the most maligned asset class in the world. On an almost weekly basis the financial media mocks gold -- and publishes articles claiming it is a terrible investment. It’s rather odd, as less than 1% of investors actually owns gold. Why is it so...

I previously said one doesn’t need to chase the rally during the second leg, because any gains would not be sustainable and would subsequently be given back.

Last week we highlighted our gold stocks bull analog chart, which showed the gold stocks correcting at least 20% at this point during both the 2008-2009 and 2000-2001 recoveries. We concluded that gold stocks were likely to continue to correct in the days and weeks...

Last night’s post on the US stock market ended as follows: “As far as the Fed and its puny rate hikes are concerned, that is irrelevant. This market is flipping them the bird. Markets can rise a long way before a rate hike regime finally kills them. It feels like...

There are patterns in markets. Yes, the Fed and High Frequency Traders influence markets, but we can learn from past patterns in the S&P500 Index. Using weekly data, the S&P500 made a high in March 2000, fell to an initial low in April, rose, and fell to a...

Recently the mainstream media has reported that several billionaires are concerned about global financial markets and have purchased significant amounts of gold to protect their portfolios.

The SPX topped out one year ago, on May 20th, 2015 at 2134.72. One year has gone by…and the SPX has still not made a new high. Moreover, it could be many years before we reach that high! The SPX chart below indicates why it is not making any new highs and why a...
