There are indicators, and there is price action. Some technicians swear by one or the other, yet it’s most sensible to combine both views as they go hand in hand. Further, there is a special breed of indicators that are not a derivative of price, and the chief among...

To underscore the volatility of this past week, consider the price action in silver. Silver, days ago, had a chance to make its highest monthly close since October 2016. That is well over three years ago. Silver closed the week and the month at its lowest levels in...

If the corona virus is anything like the Spanish flu then 2 billion people might get infected and 100 million people might die. We don't know that now but it will become clear in the coming years. It might not seem the right time to think about the economy but it...

At last week’s close, with the Dow Jones’ BEV value at -1.89%, I said I’d remain long-term bullish as long as the Dow Jones stayed above its BEV -7.5% line, or even if it remained in single-digits BEV values.  As it turned out I could only remain long-term bullish...

The year's targeted forecast price for Gold of 1675 was reached this past Monday, 24 February; (as, with a wee bit of overshoot, was 1691). Then Gold's safe-haven status was breached, even in the face of the coronavirus' harrowing screech. What the hell happened?

Back in early 2018, after a dramatic rally in early January 2018, the US stock market collapsed suddenly and violently – falling nearly 12% in a matter of just 9 trading days.  Our researchers asked the question, is the current collapse similar to this type of move...

Having traded as high as $1691 in COMEX April gold and $18.92 in March silver on Monday on near-record volume and closing not far from those levels as of the 1:30 PM EST settlements, prices sold off sharply in the always thinly-traded afterhours. As expected, the...

As the world is approaching the end of another failed monetary experiment, very few people are aware what lies ahead of them and therefore nobody is mentally or financially prepared for the massive shock that will hit the world.

The Global Financial System is now under severe stress.  While there have been many factors leading to up to this point, the situation that is unfolding in China and abroad seems to be speeding up the process.  Yesterday, the market got a small WHIFF or WOKE up a...

I don’t know about you, but I never thought I’d see the day when the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond dipped below 2 percent, let alone 1.8 percent. And yet that’s precisely what happened on Tuesday as investors weighed the global impact of the coronavirus virus,...

Much remains concerning the corona-virus, its potential planning, or else its exploited event. The discussion and debate, along with investigations and accusations, will remain for a long time. This is an historical event, like 9/11, certain to change the global...
