So many “experts” have so much to say in correlating the current prices for gold and silver with factors like how much gold China and Russia have been accumulating, the shortages of and demand for physical PMs, hypothecating, rehypothocating [aka stealing] of gold...

The articles we wrote last week called for a critical week in Gold and that either a bottom would form or a capitulation phase might begin. Our service uses a combination of Technical and Cycle Analysis to time and call markets. Over the years we’ve found that...

Before starting, I want to share a comment from “Reader Ed” – which frankly, is one of the nicest compliments I’ve received in my career. In my view, the Miles Franklin Blog is one of the best sources of information about the global economy, financial markets, and...

Many people believe the Chinese are on the cusp of replacing the U.S. in many fashions, I believe this myself. There are others out there who believe the Chinese economy and financial markets will crash and burn with all the rest when the derivatives chain finally...

In our new book The Silver Manifesto, David Morgan and I not only discuss the debt bomb waiting to explode in most every western world economy but also the fact that the Fed will NEVER willingly hike interest rates by any material degree because (i) the monetary...

For the last several weeks, I have provided you, and, sometimes even entertained you, with my perspective of a very evil pattern to play out in the metals. Such a pattern was supposed to test the 2014’s lows (and potentially even break them), and then rally to the...
