Like the economic “clairvoyant” I am, I can see it now – as the FOMC concludes its upcoming April 28th meeting. With another month of miserable economic data under its belt, and the Fed’s real dual mandate – to support the stock market, and devalue the dollar – more...

The most memorable scene in the film adaptation of Glengarry Glen Ross is when Alec Baldwin’s character—a hotshot real estate broker from the prestigious Mitch and Murray agency—tells a group of struggling real estate agents that it takes “brass balls to sell real...

The common theme is that GDP, debt, sales, expenses, gasoline consumption, economic activity and much more increased exponentially. Our world is based on exponential economic growth, exponential increases in spending, exponential increases in population,...

Renowned financial analysts and trends forecaster Martin Armstrong has said that gold will “probably max out at $5,000 per ounce” as “people lose confidence in government” and that we will see riots and unrest globally in the coming months – the fall of this year....

Much speculation abounds regarding China's gold holdings. They officially claim 1,054 tons as of April 2009. We suspected they might "re" announce their holdings again last year at this time as it was five years after their last announcement and China has a habit...

Today we completed step one in the possible rollover scenario, with price making a confirmed high. Before we get too excited charts make confirmed highs/lows all the time, it just one step in a potential trend change or correction. The next step would be two...

Several months ago I presented you with an “evil” plan with which the metals and miners have followed through quite well with regard to their downside movements. However, since that time, they have been acting more like kittens rather than evil patterns. They have...

No, we're not talking about 4G phones, nor God, Gold, Guns and Grub. Today let's look at GE, Greece, and finish with a very interesting Germany and Gazprom. Last week GE shocked the market place by announcing they will sell their crown jewel GE Capital. Why would...

One proposed solution to Greece’s European debt problem is for the mediterranean country to abandon the euro and resurrect its old currency, the drachma. In his April Gold Videocast, Peter Schiff explains why a new drachma would be ideal for Greek politicians, but a...

Almost every day, bank economists are making more positive statements about the outlook for gold prices, and rightly so. "Money printing had almost always resulted in inflation but in today's excess global production capacity environment and with the oil price...

Governments Plan to have Totalitarian Control of Currency is a good Reason for Depositors to Allocate some of Their Funds to Physical Gold and Silver. Although the price of gold staged a minor rally on Friday, the advance has been capped at around $1220 an ounce....

The Financial Times, citing unsourced “people briefed on the radical leftist government’s thinking” has made the claim that the Tsipras government in Athens has “has decided to withhold E2.5 billion of payments due to the International Monetary Fund in May and June...

Two robust, ABC uptrends of different degree are driving this rally, auguring a successful voyage to the 1238.90 target we’ve been using to stay abreast of the move. It has been relatively easy to trade, since the swing highs and lows have come more or less where...

We live in a world where all currencies are “fiat”, none backed by gold, silver, oil or anything else. Yes of course the dollar, otherwise known as the “petrodollar” has functioned and survived (so far) based on oil revenues being recycled back into U.S. Treasury...

“We are still the best market around”, recent quote on CNBC TV, is that with or without the monopoly money that is being thrown around endlessly? Do people ever think what the end game will be and if we can get ourselves out of this QE bacchanal without paying an...

There is considerable dissension in the analytical sector over what actually constitutes China’s real gold demand. On the one hand we have what the mainstream analysts record as Chinese consumption, which comes in at somewhere between 800 and 900 tonnes last year....

In September 2014 the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) launched its International Board, the Shanghai International Gold Exchange (SGEI). After a slow start, the volume of the physical SGEI kilobar contract (iAu99.99) has transcended all other SGE contracts in week 15 (...

Gold rose for the first time in four days on Friday after holdings in exchange-traded products (ETPs) backed by bullion saw the largest increase in more than six weeks. Silver rose the most in a week.

The highly-organised Easter weekend safety deposit boxes raid at a facility in Hatton Garden, London, demonstrates once again that holding tangible assets outside of the fragile banking system is a risky exercise, if the manner in which those assets are stored is...

In this Weekend Report I would like to show you some charts on the US stock markets along with some overseas markets as things are starting to heat up. It’s beginning to look like a world wide event taking place. Some of the European stock markets are breaking out...

Gold closed March in bearish fashion and in spite of some strength since then it has failed to make any significant progress in either direction. The weekly close was weak and left gold vulnerable to any kind of selling pressure.

Gold has managed to avoid a complete chart breakdown thus far, but that is due more to buying in the physical market out of the Far-East rather than any wholesale interest among the high-powered, deep-pocketed, Western-investment crowd.

Since early March, SPX has traded in a broad range of approximately 85 points. The support level, which is between 2040 and 2050 has been tested several times and held each time. The last test was on 4/01, and this generated another short-term uptrend which...
