Peak Oil? That was an obvious and widespread promotion while it was in play and did not fool anyone who bothered to step aside from the herd that ran with it. Peak Terror in broad stock markets? Well, that I don’t discount so readily because this is a system that...

The global stock markets are crashing, but there is still a lot of room to move down. Corona is being used as an excuse to push through many measures, the result of which will be the destruction of paper money. The seemingly exaggerated measures have a nasty...

As I begin the weekly missive here on Thursday, the U.S. equity markets are experiencing the worst daily assault since that fateful day back in 1987, when the Dow lost 23% in a single trading session, sending thousands of Gucci-clad stockbrokers to the Sears re-fit...

The last few days have been like nothing most of us have ever experienced – or are likely to experience again in our lifetimes. Panic has spread from the streets of Wuhan to the grocery stores of America’s heartland, from nursing homes to the Federal Reserve Board,...

There will be many people who look at gold and silver prices and assume lots of gold bugs are selling. They couldn’t be more wrong. The disconnect between paper prices for precious metals and demand in the bullion markets has never been clearer. Nervous investors...
