the billionaire and member of Bloomberg Markets 50 Most Influential said at the SOHN Investment...

It has been a while since I have written anything close to being considered a "rant". Instead, using cool and common sense logic of connecting dots for readers has been my method of choice. Over just the last several weeks, the "obviousness" of what is coming has...
Inflation rate in the U.S. is hovering near the zero percent level for the past year. The PECEPI (Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index) has stayed well below the FED's 2% target rate since March 2012.
Gold prices are headed for a critical test according to The Week today. The Federal Reserve’s ‘wait and see’ stance suggests policymakers there are in no rush to increase rates this year. “Sentiment over interest rates has been controlling gold prices all year,” says...
If you ever get the chance to go camping near an old gold or silver mine, take it. I did years ago. Not only is it a great experience, but it made me a better metals investor too. Why? Well, there’s nothing like seeing long-dead, abandoned mine works with your own eyes...
As predicted, everyone started calling a top yesterday when the miners (Market Vectors Gold Miners (N:GDX)) corrected and all gold did was retest the triangle breakout. This will continue all the way up. Instead of just riding the trend, traders will be forced to try...

“Gold is a safe haven.” “Gold is a hedge against market volatility.” We have all heard these sound bites countless times. Analysts seem to dust them off every time the market declines and the metals rally concurrently. In fact, many of them were making these claims...
Financial market turmoil has been what was needed to rekindle investment interest in gold, as we have argued in our investor letters this year, here and here. The onset of a bear market is what we envisioned in making this statement. A preliminary glimpse of what is...
Gold was lower in the overnight session reaching 1151.30. On the Intraday Chart, it appears that the rallies are impulsive looking and the setbacks corrective looking, which is bullish. Based on that observation, it is likely that wave ^iii^ is now subdividing also....
When gold prices rise in earnest (ask the High Frequency Traders for a precise date) they are likely to rise rapidly and cause financial media comments such as, “Nobody saw that coming…”
More and more “experts” are calling for Negative Interest Rate Policy or NIRP. The US Federal Reserve is obsessed with market reactions to its policies. Because of this, anytime the Fed plans to announce a major change in policy, it preps the markets via numerous leaks...
Is the US dollar still the most important safe haven for fiat enthusiasts? Simply put, the yen acted as a safe haven during the stock market crash, and the dollar acted as a “risk on” asset. The dollar is now trading in a fairly large symmetrical triangle pattern,...
Gold remains our best means of economic measurement. It is not a perfect, but it is our best. Due to its monetary properties, gold can be used to measure wealth across generations.
While some continue dancing, the music might have already stopped: are we already in a bear market in stocks? In this context, we study past bear markets to see whether gold may serve as a valuable diversifier for what's ahead.
In an environment of Low Interest Rates, Exploding Debt, Slow Economic Growth, you need a Reliable Store of Value. Gold prices continued to rally on Monday, extending gains made towards the end of last week. However it seems that the price of the yellow metal may have...
Marc Faber has again encouraged individuals to own physical gold, be wary of possible government confiscation and said that the big question is where to store your gold.
When uncontrolled credit growth results in speculative bubbles, capitalism’s cycles of expansion and contraction end in catastrophic deflationary depressions where large collapsing bubbles result in crippling levels of defaulting debt.
I opened a blog post on 7th October with the statement that gold was money in the distant past and might again be money in the future, but isn’t money in any developed economy today. I then explained this statement. The post stirred up a veritable hornet’s nest, in...

Precious metals prices enter the new week looking to extend the rally that began Oct. 2nd. Silver has gained nearly 10%, and gold is up almost 3.5%. The notion that the Federal Reserve governors may have missed their window to raise interest rates is beginning to sink...
For the past four years the main trends in the major markets were fixed as if running on rails. Wall Street was bullish, with rapid recoveries after any brief sell-off; gold and silver was bearish, with every rally soon capped and reversed; the dollar was on a rampage...
I posted an article on the gold-silver ratio (GSR) back in February 2009. My closing words were that “it looks like a top was set back in late January”. By that I meant a top in the GSR, not the price of silver which clearly had suffered a large drop during the mass...
At last we are here. It has been a long wait for gold and silver holders. For the wealth preservationists who have held gold/silver since the beginning of the 2000s, it has just been tedious since the highs in 2011. What has happened in the last four years in the world...
In an age of Algorithms, High Frequency Trading, Quant-injected performance engines and every Casino Patron with an e-Trade account hyper-stimulating the market after each bit of news that is fed (no pun intended) to us by the financial media and Policy Central, the...
Platinum was the best performing precious metal, bouncing back 7.95 percent, as palladium took a backseat this week. Traders had speculated that the Volkswagen’s emissions scandal might lead to increased demand for palladium should auto buyers shun diesel powered...
I must apologize for leaving so many e-mails and comments unanswered last week. My wife Kathryn and I travelled to northern Michigan and the upper-peninsula for the week and saw some wonderful fall foliage. Cell phone and WIFI coverage was somewhat spotty. While there...
Gold is breaking out of its triangle formation -- and a first target at $1,237 is activated. The whole precious metals sector presents itself pretty bullish. It´s still too early to call the end of the bear market but the picture continues to improve. Now Silver and...

The stock market came back with a vengeance out of the late September low (5- week lows), but failed to come back evenly, creating a case of an inter-market bearish divergence. The Dow Industrials, NYA, OEX and SOX made a higher high above the September 17th top on...
Crude has been in a range for most of the month of September oscillating near the 50 day moving average. It had been unable to do much in the way of additional upside however until this month, when it finally broke out above resistance at the top of the range near the...
SPX is at an important juncture. After holding support at 1872, it has quickly run up to the level of the August rally peak. To convince us that this show of strength is something more than a typical bear market rally, it must continue its advance after overcoming a...
