We've been measuring and reporting Demand Power and Supply Pressure for the Blue Chip indices each night for several years.

The argument about inflation vs deflation is predicated on a Keynesian thought paradigm. When too much money chases too few goods, the value of money falls and prices of everything else rise.

With this week's release of an apparently benign CPI report, Wall Street resembled Munchkin Land celebrating the death of the Wicked Witch of Inflation. Amidst the revelry few spared much concern that the Index actually registered a monthly gain of .6%.

The focus on gold and the USDollar alone lacks a crucial factor in maintaining the world currency reserve on its fragile pedestal.

Sometimes, intuition and fact do not reconcile. The following charts fly in the face of intuition. They therefore warrant some discussion.

The gradual uptrend of the past 6 weeks has brought gold once again to a critical juncture.

The ignorance about gold in America's mainstream press and on Wall Street is amazing. The conventional "wisdom" on the Street is that gold is already way, way too overpriced.

The dollar is no longer responding to traditional stimulants.

Hardly a dull moment in the currency market these days. Much attention centers upon central bank actions. The Bank of Japan held steady, as world speculators thank heavens. The Euro Central Bank held steady, as the US bankers thank heavens.

Last week, I mentioned that under FDR, to me, our worst President outside of Lincoln, Johnson, and most of them during the last hundred years I suspect, the welfare system got into gear, which debased the buck tremendously, and still does, but at an ever-increa

For the past few weeks, we have prepared our subscribers with special tutorials on how to position in the gold sector during the next impulsive phase, with specific instructions on how to enter the market before, during, and after a major breakout is confirmed.

As investors and market strategists sift through every new economic tea leaf for clues about the health of the U.S.

Some extremely important charts follow, each with an equally important message. The story can be told from a series of painted pictures. The USEconomy is in deep trouble. The US Federal Reserve is caught in a box.

There are a lot of things in life, that are our fault, and ours alone.

An increasing number of goldbugs and traders are getting bewildered and frustrated at gold’s pedestrian performance and refusal to break higher, even with a possible attack on Iran looming, especially as oil has been romping ahead, and are, of course, looking a

Do you like a good mystery? So do I, especially if it can be profitable. The Feni Islands grabbed my attention some years ago because the regional geology is extremely ideal for finding a major gold deposit.

Volatility for US Treasury Bonds has risen markedly in the last several months. A rise in such bond yields creates a favorable background for gold prices.
