As the FED continues to slowly raise interest rates quarter point by quarter point, the financial environment may seem to be changing very little, but in reality it is becoming increasingly at risk from financial tornadoes; A torna

I have documented this amazing phenomenon a year ago, and for those who have not read my previous article, a little background is needed before reading this special report.

It's been awhile since I have written, and it really feels good to be back.

So far, 2006 has been a very volatile year for gold stocks. After soaring 20% in January, the XAU declined by 15% in February, despite the fact that gold only declined 1% during the month.

It is widely believed that the Federal government has an unofficial policy that some banks and other financial institutions are simply too big to fail.

Over the past weekend, many articles were digested along with meals taken in alongside some more fine Olympic action (not without drama between Shani Davis and Chad Hedrick).

More than 100,000 Iraqi soldiers backed up by 700 tanks invaded the Gulf state of Kuwait in the early hours of August 2, 1990.

In August 2003 I published an Elliott Wave forecast for gold which suggested that the target for the peak of the first major wave of the new gold bull market was $630.

From time to time, even these days, an article pops up by a writer who attempts to dismiss Technical Analysis, or charting, as random, worthless nonsense, or at least as being secondary to the superior art of Fundamental Analysis.

Much has been made of the fact companies with pure molybdenum deposits have not reacted as strongly as one might expect based on the base metal bull market and the price of molybdenum now having sustained a price north of $15.00 fo

Yesterday, Ben Bernanke began the first of what will likely be many semi-annual pilgrimages to Capital Hill.

I've shown the TSX in early Dec, suggesting a breakout of the "cup with handle" pattern portends a rally into the 12000 area. That target was met early last week and price was firmly rejected, causing a plunge of 500 points.

A correction in the Precious Metals sector had been a growing probability as it had powered higher week after week. Now, last week’s action demonstrates that it is upon us.
