November 1, 2015

One week ago, we pointed to the then pending Federal Open Market Committee policy statement as a "non-event". Essentially 'twas, despite the buzz. And yet, au contraire, we ought be shaking in our boots now, what? No, not because 'tis Halloween, (which here in San...

A solid week for stocks as markets resting near high level resistance before a likely breakout higher. Metals were acting good and strong until the Fed released no news on their announcement. Subsequently, the gold price swiftly fell and is now breaking down and the...

Gold sector is on major sell signal. Cycle is down. COT data suggests lower prices ahead. Traders should sell short the bounces.Silver is on a long-term sell signal and investors should be in cash or short. Short-term is on sell signal and traders should sell short...

The Commitment of Traders readings for both gold and silver are at levels that have made prices vulnerable over the last four years. Commercials in silver have the largest net short position since an important top in 2008.

As a proverbial picture [chart] is worth 1,000 words, we will let the charts speak for themselves…with observations and comments attached to each one. From our perspective, the charts are saying, irrespective of what anyone is reading or following regarding gold and...

My first public market call in the metals complex was made back in 2011, at which time I was looking for a top in the gold market at $1,915. While it came quite close to the actual top struck in the market ($1,921), many thought me to be less than credible in...

The precious metals sector sharply reversed course after the Federal Reserve hinted that it may raise rates at its next meeting. This about face from the Fed was enough to effectively end the fledgling rally that began in the summer and threatened to take metals and...

With the Federal Reserve’s first rate-hike cycle in nearly a decade looming, traders are working overtime trying to divine its timing and impact on the markets. They are closely monitoring the same employment and inflation data the Fed will use to start tightening...

One of America’s largest companies is taking a controversial stance on employee benefits. In a move that is sure to draw criticism from the mainstream press, Jonathan Johnson, chairman of online retail giant Overstock.com (OSTK), publicly stated that the company has...

As much as we carry a long-term bias towards a continuation of the historically low yield market environment of the current decade, over the intermediate-term we still like the short side of Treasuries on the long end of the curve.

In previous commentaries; readers have read firm conclusions that the U.S. government (via the Federal Reserve) has already hyper-inflated its currency – past tense. Yet what do we actually see as we look around us? We see this obviously/blatantly worthless currency...

My original thought for a writing was the hilarious action following yesterday's Fed meeting and to comment on last night's debate. Something far more "real" has arisen in the last 24 hours of far more importance, before getting to that, let's look at the Fed's "...

A little over two weeks ago I wrote gold and silver price forecasts explaining that cycles should soon top and then head lower into December. Coincidently gold topped October 15th at $1,191.70, the day the gold forecast was released, and silver prices recently...

Gold is headed for a 1.3% fall this week after the Fed’s latest suggestion that they may increase interest rates in December or in the New Year. However, for the month of October gold is 3.1% higher from $1,115/oz to $1,150/oz and has seen even larger gains in other...

For six years, the world has operated under a complete delusion that Central Banks somehow fixed the 2008 Crisis. All of the arguments claiming this defied common sense. A 5th grader would tell you that you cannot solve a debt problem by issuing more debt. If the...

"In determining whether it will be appropriate to raise the target range at its next meeting, the Committee will assess progress–both realized and expected–toward its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation. This assessment will take into account a...

After a few months of slower growth, FMQ has picked up again. FMQ is the sum of True Money Supply (as defined by the Austrian School of Economics), plus the banking system’s reserves and other banking-related liabilities on the Fed’s balance sheet.

1970s: Gold rallied from about $35 in 1970 to nearly $200 in December 1974…and then fell to about $100 in August 1976. So what? Examine the graph of average monthly gold prices Jan. 1970 – Sept. 1976. Compare it to the graph of gold prices from April 2002 –...

It finally looks like a major inflection point is getting very close to resolving itself in many different areas of the markets. The US dollar is the key driver of this inflection point which is starting to breakout from a nearly eight month bullish falling wedge...

WOW! I know no other way of saying it than to say that the Fed took everyone by surprise. I certainly did not expect this Fed, this timid FOMC, to sound such a hawkish note. As dovish as Draghi and the ECB sounded last week, the Fed sounded hawkish this week. Talk...

The primary focus this week is again on the “all powerful” Fed. If the Fed leans toward a rate hike in December, gold could come under pressure again in the short-term. However, if it leans toward raising rates next year, then gold would be expected to eke out...

Calling your attention to two recent stories, the debate over the debt limit and Russia's new moves into the Middle East, are they mutually exclusive or are they somehow connected?

I thought it only fitting in honour of Halloween to provoke a little discussion on The Dead, Zombies, and those Prematurely Declared Dead. My subject is the Junior Mining Sector. But I’m not going to be too ghoulish and hopefully not too pessimistic.

The latest data for the weekly Commitment of Traders (COT) report, released by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on Friday, showed that large traders and currency speculators reduced their overall net bullish positions in the US dollar last week for a...

I am amazed at how investors have such short memories. Yet, it probably explains why the public makes the same mistakes over and over when it comes to investing. When QE3 was announced in 2012, everyone cried in unison “gold is going to the moon.” However, we, at...

A – 1913: Gold was money in the United States. Double eagles ($20.00), Eagles ($10.00), and Half-Eagles ($5.00) circulated freely. Silver dollars and smaller coins were common and used for commerce. And then the bankers created “The Federal Reserve.”

On October 2 the BLS reported absolutely atrocious employment data, with virtually no job growth other than the phantom jobs added by the fantastically wrong Birth/Death adjustment for all those new businesses springing up around the country.

Gold was extremely quiet in the overnight session, and we did reach a high of 1167.10. Gold has still not given us the confirmation we need to say that wave ^iv^ or some other more bullish corrective wave has definitively ended at the 1158.90 low.

Gold is the world’s ultimate asset. So, even when nothing important is occurring in the market, investors can experience “ultimate greed” or “ultimate fear”. Because the quality of the asset is so high, it’s crucial that investors are emotionally able to buy gold...
