I use CNN Money for after hour stock index futures and get an occasional chuckle reading their market commentary.

In the early 2000s, Alan Greenspan was worried about deflation. So he hired Ben Bernanke, the self-proclaimed expert on the Great Depression from Princeton. The idea was that with Bernanke as his right hand man, Greenspan could put off deflation from hitting the US...

Last weekend I was looking for bottom late Monday near 2067/70 -- and then a strong rally to perhaps as high SPX 2101/13 by Wednesday. The SPX bottomed early Tuesday at 2072 and rallied to 2115 by Thursday. I give myself an A- for that forecast, not perfect by any...

History teaches that long trends end only when everyone is finally convinced that they’ll keep going. Maybe no trend in modern times has been as convincing as interest rates. The yield on long-term Treasury bonds, for instance, has been falling for as long as most...

Gold sector is on major sell signal. Cycle is down. Much lower prices in coming weeks. Silver is on a long term sell signal and investors should be in cash or short. Caution is advised as COT data has reached levels of previous tops.

We live in a dysfunctional world. The entire United States media, TV, radio, and print are massive purveyors of misinformation and lies. The truth is not allowed to exist, which is incredibly ironic, for when the public is told the truth, it is not believed for the...

From being heavily involved in the gold market since 2001 I have seen numerous gold mining shares rocket 300% - 1200% in value. Long time readers of my reports know I call these rare plays “Golden Rockets” and I would like to talk about a stock which has all the...

Why are governments suddenly acting as if cash money is a bad thing that must be severely limited or eliminated?

OK pardon the play on a 1986 Kurt Russell action adventure flick entitled “Big Trouble in Little China”.

Despite three consecutive weeks of losses precious metals have failed to mount much of a rally. Gold closed last week above $1170 and may close this week below $1180. Meanwhile, Silver has struggled to mount any rebound and appears to have lost $16 as the week comes...

Gold prices have traded very actively over the past 15 years, as precious metals once considered an alternative investment have now become more accepted by investors of all sizes. For most of these years, the price of gold increased, recording a high in October 2011...

DOW Wasting, US$, Gold & Silver Slow, GDX & GDXJ, He Shoots And Scores, And More PM Analysis via videos

Gold remains deeply out of favor, languishing near major lows. Traders are still convinced gold is going nowhere, and want nothing to do with it. But provocatively that’s par for the course in early June, when gold slumps to its most-important seasonal low. Gold’...

Last week I wrote a column on MarketWatch that seems to have stirred quite a bit of debate. Within the column, I was pointing to the potential for a multi-decade rally to be seen in the metals and mining stocks. It seems many of you had very strong feelings that...

20 Countries Have Announced Digital Warfare Programs. A new book detailing the development, operation and ramifications of the deployment of the notorious Stuxnet virus shows that it has created a far more risky world.

My last piece was quite long and involved, some liked it and "got it", others not so much. The breaking of confidence was the point I was trying to get to. I intend to try again with this writing but from a different viewpoint.

In March 2014, the Bank of England let the cat out of the bag: money is just an IOU, and the banks are rolling in it. So wrote David Graeber in The Guardian the same month, referring to a BOE paper called “Money Creation in the Modern Economy.” The paper stated...

What are the possible scenarios for Greece and what do they imply for the gold market? The base-case scenario is that a bailout deal will be reached in coming days since no one wants the Grexit. Without the agreement, Greece would lose access to its external funding...

Our big theme has been that the senior US stock indexes would rally out to "around May" and this is where we are. This view includes that both stocks and the economy will roll over, virtually, together. Since earlier in the year "Macro" numbers have seriously...

About 100 years ago, in his testimony before Congress, banking giant J.P. Morgan famously stated: “Gold is money, and nothing else.” At the time, this was true in every sense of the word “money,” as the U.S. was still on the gold standard.

It is time to buy gold and silver again as new central bank data shows that the European Central Bank and Federal Reserve have finally been successful in creating inflation. Whether they will now be able to control it is completely another matter, and buying gold to...

For six years straight, the Fed has been trying to “trash” cash. First it cut interest rates to zero… making it so that savings deposits produced almost nothing in the way of interest income. Consider that at current rates, a retiree with $1 million in savings earns...

The common error of confusing growth with progress goes largely unnoticed, though it permeates all macroeconomic analysis. There is no better example of this mistake than the fallacies behind the interpretation of Gross Domestic Product. GDP is the market value of...

For today, those in control will not allow the gold price to reach $18,000 an ounce where the 18,000 DOW sits today, but the DOW could drop 90%, as it did in 1929, to 1800 and gold rise to $1,800 an ounce! Could one accept the very real possibility that the DOW...

There is no shortage of negative commentary on gold and silver. A quick google search will produce such headlines as: “Gold is the Worst Investment in History”

Banning gold and silver in the United States would be just about as effective for igniting demand as the hints of gun control that follow every tragic school shooting. They are primitive political responses with predictable outcomes equal and opposite to what was...

It is obvious to anyone with eyes to see, "power" is shifting from West to East. China is the leader, the epicenter of the East and of course they are the ones "hoovering" up the lion's share (along with India)of global gold production. The following map was sent...

Why are global central banks buying so much gold unless they still fear inflation? The World Gold Council estimates that 120 tonnes of gold were added to global central bank reserves in the first quarter of this year and that’s a whole lot more than they used to buy...

In the last days of the Second World War American troops uncovered a large stash of gold, silver and paper currencies at the post office of a small town in eastern Germany called Plauen. Documents show that the stash was directly linked to SS chief Heinrich Himmler...

We have enough downside targets in play at the moment to keep us on our toes, but this chart allows a more optimistic outlook for the near-term. Notice the very precise bounce from the 1161.70 midpoint pivot. This validates the pattern itself, along with its p2 (...
