Gold Editorials & Commentary

Maybe 2016 will be the year when equity bears finally get to celebrate. Although I wouldn’t call an end to the “buy the dip” era quite yet, the current market has a different type of feel and vibe to it. Many people believe – and there is supporting historical...

We were just treated to a fake official rate hike, and it was cleverly executed. The recent supposed USFed rate hike was a gigantic fraud, a misdirection, a clever ploy, and an act of extreme desperation. We were told of an official 25 basis point interest rate hike...

The US economy added 292,000 jobs in December. What does it imply for the Fed policy and the gold market?

DO NOT GET MARRIED TO GOLD. It is insurance. Remember that, stay objective and be sober-minded. Leave the wild-eyed gold cult to glory in its own rantings.

Let us look forward to the green shoots of 2016 and try to forget about those embers of 2015, leaving them to lose their glow and become history. Green shoots? Yes, it is a well known and no longer trusted description of the economy, but this time the focus is on...

Last week saw an unexpected move up in gold. It ended the week outside our forecast range for the first time in a while. We have had a good run recently maintaining our bearish stance and following this long-term bear market continuation. But before the bulls get...

Those who have been reading my work for any length of time know I have been adamant we would someday face a "global margin call." I believe this call was issued last week! No matter how you look at the world, whether financially, geopolitically, macro, micro or...

Many were talking about the market crashing last week and the mainstream financial press were waxing hysterical, but as we will now see the crash hasn't even started yet. If the press got like that last week, imagine what they will be like when it really does crash...

If we define the beginning of a bear market by the breaking of the long-term trend line which goes back to the start of the bull market, some indices have already done this and others are close. However, the penetration of that trend line is still be minimal and at...

The warning signs were there, back in December, several of our critical and proprietary stock market forecast indicators warned a significant and perhaps unprecedented decline was fast approaching.

Since the first day of the New Year the stock market has had a difficult time. Why? Maybe a better question would be; how did the Dow Jones, my proxy for the general stock market, recovered to new all-time highs so soon after its March 2009 bottom?

Off to a rather quaint start for New Year, what? As 2016's first trading session got underway, one of the more revered FinMedia outlets ran with this piece: "So Long, Farewell: Markets Hope to Shake Off 2015". Oops. And for pity's sake, please don't blame China, let...

When the globalist’s central bankers are in control, primarily the US/UK, they are proving their ability to supersede the natural forces of supply and demand with impunity. When they have the ability to “print” unlimited amounts of fake fiat, no other country can...

Gold sector is on major sell signal. Cycle is up. A recovery is in progress but upside should be limited.Silver is on a long-term sell signal and investors should be in cash or short. Short term is on buy signal. Nimble traders can play for a bounce.

The good news is: At the rate of decline for the year so far, the end must be near. The negatives: The major indices were down 6% - 8% last week. There is not much more I can say.

In my daily trip around the latest opinions and analyses of the precious metals markets, there was one phrase that seems to recur again and again. That phrase is “gold is undervalued”. One article I read pronounced on this matter by stating that the gold market was...

It has been a strong start to 2016 in precious metals, today notwithstanding. Gold was able to break above daily resistance at $1080 to $1090 while miners climbed higher until Friday’s reversal. Rather than focus on the nominal gains, I want to turn our attention to...

If we look around the majority of the market today, not much is up besides gold and silver. Not only is the Dow Jones down big time, so are the S&P500 and NASDAQ. Hell, even oil is lower by more than 2%. What we have here is gold and silver floating up nicely...

Stocks are rallying into the open. However, the technical damage of the last week has been severe. The S&P500 crashed through its trendline (blue line). It also crashed through critical support established by the bounces in September and October (green line).

The world’s financial markets changed dramatically entering this young new year, led by sharp stock selloffs and a mounting gold rally. These are major reversals from recent years’ action. The immediate catalysts were China’s plummeting stocks and ongoing yuan...

The S&P500 has peaked about every seven years and the peak in May 2015 probably marked the end of this seven year cycle. The next big move in the S&P500 will probably be down, based on cycles, the 30 year charts and the five year charts.

Gold performed its traditional role as hedge against currency depreciation again in 2015. Many currencies saw sharp losses and concurrent gold price gains. This trend has continued in the first week of 2016, with gold up by more than 4% in most currencies.

The Chinese stock market (the SSEC Index) has tanked out of the block in 2016 -- and has investment professionals across the globe running around like headless chickens. So, let's take a deep breath and check out the charts. We'll take it from the top beginning with...

Gold dips from a 2-month top as the Chinese stock market stabilizes today after another panic selloff yesterday. Does it mean that the yellow metal is now traded on news about China?

One of the (many) fascinating things about this latest global financial crisis is that there's no single catalyst. Unlike 2008 when the carnage could be traced back to US subprime housing, or 2000 when Tech stocks crashed and pulled down everything else, this time...
